I’m shocked you didn’t mention mosquitos!!
The swallow birds are fun to watch during the day and bats at night because of the mosquitoes. Bats have not fear buzzing your ears as well.
Me too. Maybe they don't have them in Idaho? Our cabin was in Minnesota.
@@cecilyyates22we have lots of mosquitoes.
I lived on Hayden Lake for 10 years with a dock. We spent every evening in the summer on it. We NEVER used bug repellent and I never remember getting a mosquito bite. Moving water is not a good breeding ground for them. Living by a wetland area may be different, but every guest I had from Michigan always commented on the lack of bugs as they enjoyed the lake until 10:00 PM during July.
Trent, my wife and I were looking at lakefront homes in Hayden lake for my daughter who lives in London and when I seen this video you just put out, I have to say you are spot on!! everything you said is true!! we even heard from some locals around there that some of these houses are sliding into the lake and having problems now.
That’s horrible to hear but I’m glad to hear the info I provided is accurate and helpful. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you with your search.
Its what the rich gets. People wanna overcrowd a whole lake front and they're surprised their 5 million dollar homes are sliding into the water and people are camping outside their homes in the water? That's what happenes when growth comes and people choose quantity over quality.
I live on Hayden Lake and everything you said is true. You forgot about water sources and septic issues. Good video.
I'm old enough to remember when land lines were carried on poles.
Same
Good advice all around. We have friends who snowbird from Hayden Lake and its gorgeous in summer but it's only a 1 lane 2 mile road to their home.
Please do more videos about lakefront properties. All of your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
You bet! What’s some additional info you’d like to know about lakefront?
Basic info/what to expect for private dock maintenance and shoreline maintenance, what the roads and traffic are like around the lake coeur d'alene during the summer, any restrictions on what you can/can't do on lakefront properties (ie. Gardening, off-grid stuff like solar panels on roofs, driveway salt in the winter, and common restrictions for lakeside HOA's), how loud it actually is living in a lakefront home during summer vs winter months if you only own around an acre or less closer to Coeur D'Alene itself, and are bugs like mosquitoes, flies, and spiders or other pests an ongoing issue for lakefront properties on North Idaho lakes.
We live on the lake and it is wonderful, driving is safe if you just drive smart. Meaning, we do not drive like idiots. We have a great driveway, with overflow parking, our septic is pumped way up from the lake, we are very careful.
We have ZERO problems with our cells, and internet. I guess we got super lucky on Hayden Lake.
@ 9:20 Two points that I want to mention; 1) Back-yards & 2) Bear Proofing the Building(s) :
1) " Back-yards " There is something ' Therapeutic ' amongst other benefits to growing your Own Vegetables & Blueberries
especially in an Elongated Geodesic Green house [ This type is Not in Kit form yet ], Kids can play in a back-yard and Yes ;
the Family dog(s) have space to run too !
2) " Bears have been reported " Breaking into Houses & Cabins." If anyone Can " they should " Build & Retrofit These Dwellings "
be to Bear Proof ! For those who don't Know; Besides messing up a premisses looking for Food ( that they Smelled ).
" They have No Objection " to Killing People " Even little Children " !
" U-Tube has Video Thumb-nails " with " Titles of Bears " Eating People Alive " !
> " In a Word Bear Proof your house " !
Like my dad would say at his small lake front, if you have to be somewhere on a January morning this would be a bad place to be. Like him I just winterize it and not even shovel the 200 yard driveway just to sit in the dark.
The State of Idaho should never allowed building next to the water. The lakes belong to us the citizens of Idaho . It is a real pollution problem allowing septic or sewage disposal systems next to lakes. But as always, follow the money, when it comes to money the State looks the other way. The quality of living in Idaho has drastically went downhill with all the influx of development and its impact on the environment.
Great points Trent.
We have a great house 1/2 mile from the lake. It’s great being so close! If we had a slip for our boat, we might get out on it more,but, the cost is very high here, so, in the driveway under a cover it is……..
Wake board boat erosion is a big deal in the area where I live.
One thing that maybe should have been mentioned is location for year round mooring. Not sure of lake cda. But lake pend oreille in Sandpoint get drawn down in the winter and only a few year round mooring places.
There's a frequent flyer to the FB babysitter groups for the area. The family used to live down by Harrison. She'd be looking for someone to watch her FOUR kids for 10 bucks an hour. She would claim that she had sitters taking that pay and coming to her, yet here she was posting over and over and over again. She doesn't post as much because she moved into town.
Boats roaring back and forth all day long.
I’m kind of scared of the people this video is for. 😂
@@SiegeAMmost people like that move to places like this and then turn it into where they came from. If you’re gonna come over here come to assimilate not gentrify.
What's great about living on the lake in the winter is you can raid all your snowbird neighbors' houses
Your wife at home alone….Que up the Mailman…he will deliver that package.
I got in trouble for watching that movie…
I appreciate your videos for information content but feel compelled to tell you what influence they’ve had in our household - my husband and I have been looking for a few years now for a conservative place to settle down and raise our child among at least a higher demographic of like minded folk (traditional Christian). Idaho is top on our list to check out, or I should say was. Without ever having visited the state, after watching most of the videos on this channel, my husband has ruled it out as a possibility even for a summer cabin. He has been convinced there is just too much wrong with Idaho and that it’s too dangerous depressing and cold - which imho is nonsense because I think there is a lot right with Idaho! I know people there that live such wholesome and beautiful lives and being surrounded by that kind of natural beauty is not to be taken for granted when most people in the US live in artificial concrete jungles - like us. Sure you can’t go strolling around Idaho without consideration of grizzlies or wolverines or whatever, but in the city we live where we pay 5 digit taxes we can’t go walking either or we will get mugged! No joke. No state is perfect and living anywhere can be hard, especially as an outlier which is what being a Christian family feels like these days. I can understand some dummies selling everything and running off to Idaho to live off grid without knowing how to even boil water are going to suffer. But most people just want to get away from liberal cities/states and politics and aren’t idiots. I’m not sure if the consistent negative spin on everything Idaho is for views or ratings, but I don’t think anyone watches these videos and then feels very good about Idaho. In our household, it has had massive negative impact on even visiting the place. I hope my husband changes his mind because I have been dreaming of Idaho for a long time and I don’t want to bury that dream until I see it for myself, which may never happen now. Not your fault or problem, you’re just presenting content which is valid and true and I do appreciate it - but consider the positives and that some people are easily swayed by constant negative spin - and sadly my husband falls in that camp. Hoping it’s just temporary, but he was particularly freaked out by the Wolverine video. I wish I was joking..
I hope someday your husband will reconsider Idaho. I live about 30 miles east of Coeur d’Alene in the Silver Valley and I love it here. We don’t have wolverines and we don’t have grizzly bears in this area. The only animal I’ve even heard about around here are moose. 🫎. We have excellent schools and about every kind of church. We are very patriotic here too. We don’t have bad traffic until we go to Coeur d’Alene. The winters are pretty mild most years. Of course there are the pro’s and con’s of every town whether large or small. I’m a senior conservative Christian and I call this place home.
My family has lake front property at the south end of Coeur d’Alene Lake which is a portion of a homestead purchased by my grandparents in 1942. My husband and I have been trying to maintain the 55 acres (forest/pasture) with two houses (2 parcels) for the past ten years, as we are the only family members retired yet. No one lives there-we all have to drive from 1.5 to 8 hours to get there. It’s a beautiful place, and I have such special memories of my childhood summers there, but it’s getting much harder to care for and maintain (when you’re always a visitor). My grandma had the best sandy beach in the bay, but she sold it to the neighbors, so we have 52 steps to get down to our beach, which is all rocks. The private access road is impassible in the winter, the power goes out intermittently, cell service is spotty, and keeping the forested portions free of brush and deadfall is impossible. So he’s right about most of what he says. There is an infrequent cougar sighting, but they avoid people, so are not a problem. There is an occasional bear, but they aren’t grizzlies and also tend to avoid people, but will go through garbage cans if you don’t store them correctly. We see deer, wild turkeys, an occasional elk, skunk, or porcupine, and we have a resident eagles nest near our deck. My parents lived there year round for ten years after they retired, but that isn’t something I’m willing to try-too isolating in winter.
@@patriotgrammy8632 that sounds so wonderful. We are in the wilderness of Georgia right now for the rest of summer and have come face to face with a momma bear and her cubs, a trash looting black male bear, and heard coyotes or maybe wolves in the distance. Neighbors have told us all of the above plus cougars are common fare here. Although my husband wasn’t born into a family of very brave outdoorsy type men, he didn’t have any negative thoughts about this place coming in and has adjusted super well. He even stopped by a gun range - which his family of origin would be aghast about! I’m happy to see what I knew in my heart - he would adjust well to wilder settings than the city we currently live in, even perhaps Idaho. He used to ski and we have spent time in places that get no warmer than the teens. But so far, he has ruled Idaho out completely, unfortunately due to online video research. Still, ideologically and theologically my heart longs for Idaho and I do hope he will change his mind and at least allow a visit. Thanks for the comment and greetings to you from down south!
Everything your husband is concerned about is not to be concerned about. Idaho is great and we want more conservatives here. Keep on him. ❤
Did the smell from Tony's on the lake find you when filmed this on the lake? You look close to a nice Italian dinner!!
Do you have riparian rights in Idaho?
It depends where you are. There are several Indian tribes with large reservations, and due to various Supreme Court decisions over the years, things get complicated.
You can get them but they are limited and you have to apply for them.
