Athol, Idaho
This property is on 140 forested acres. There are 3 beautifully furnished cabins and a very large 5 bedroom/6 bath main building. Your group will enjoy the perfect balance of private space and communal areas. Huge commercial kitchen, screened porch, outdoor fireplace, and a movie room.
Connect with family as you explore shady forests, open fields or rocky hillsides.Wildlife is abundant- you will almost certainly see deer, elk, hawks, bluebirds or wild turkeys, maybe even a moose! Enjoy evenings on the large screened porch or inside watching a movie on the 135" movie screen. The lodge operates part of the year as a destination recording studio, so the suites, cabins, and common areas are designed for a group of people to enjoy together comfortably for a week or more.
Cooking for large groups will be a pleasure in the commercial kitchen. There is ample refrigerator/freezer space, 4 ovens, and large griddle as well as a commercial dishwasher which cleans a load of dishes in under 3 minutes! The kitchen is well-stocked with large pots and pans and numerous serving dishes and warmers. Other amenities include an ice machine and espresso maker.
The location is excellent! You'll turn off the highway and drive down a private, gated country road. Even though it is just a short distance from highway to property, you'll feel like you are a million miles from everything. The property is located between Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene, two of the most popular tourist towns in North Idaho. We are less than 15 minutes from the Northwest's largest theme/water park, Silverwood. Also within minutes is the town of Bayview and Farragut State Park. This is a spectacular 4000 acre park at the south end of Lake Pend Oreille, the state's largest (43 miles long) lake. It's also the deepest (at 1,158 feet deep, there are only four deeper lakes in the nation). It's got terrific scenery, clean water, big fish, and a fascinating history. Picnic areas and swimming holes, boat rentals, fishing charters, Frisbee golf as well as a Naval Museum can all be found around Farragut and Bayview. 30 minutes south of the property is the beautiful resort town of Coeur d'Alene, and 30 minutes north is Sandpoint, home to Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort and the Sandpoint Music Festival. Both towns have antiquing, golfing, great restaurants, shopping and lots of wonderful summer and winter activities.

great place for a large family reunion
The house and cabins are clean and comfortable. The industrial kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pans and cooking utensils to feed a crowd. There are nice large gathering spaces indoors and out and a beautiful property. Large lawn for games, beautiful forest and meadows and wild flowers everywhere. We had a wonderful time. Chris and Corrie were great hosts
Our family held a week-long family reunion at the Cider Mountain lodge with 32 people (of all age ranges) in early June. The venue was perfect for our family. The commercial kitchen is well stocked and intimidating (in a good way) and there was plenty of space for the family around the lodge for us to spread out and enjoy each others company without feeling too cramped. Corrie and Chris (the owners) went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The venue was a great value and we'd definitely stay there again.
Our family (35 in all) gathered to celebrate my mom’s 72nd birthday. We had a fabulous time! There was plenty of outdoor space for the little kids to explore, a large lawn for the volleyball net that my brother brought and even space for two cornhole games. Corey was so accommodating! She allowed the caterers, who showed up an hour before check-in time, to get setup. She checked in a few different times to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. And when the dishwasher stopped working on Sunday morning, she responded right away. Fortunately, her guard was able to get it working. This place is set up for entertaining and gathering, all in a beautiful location. We would recommend this place to any of our friends or family.
We held our annual Parent Leadership Development Institute here, and it was a perfect setting for our group. The main house had two indoor locations for us to provide presentations - the theater room and the main living room area. The dining room and breakfast bar area was super for our large group of twelve people. The cabins and grounds were absolutely wonderful for outdoor activities. And the kitchen...the KITCHEN was a dream. Everyone of us would like a commercial dishwasher in our own homes now! We had a fantastic time and we highly recommend!
This property was absolutely PERFECT for our family gathering!! We had 18 adults and 4 kids, ranging in ages 3 months to 6 years old. We had lots of space for all of us to spread out, families had their own rooms/cabins with their own bathrooms.. Lots of areas to gather as a whole group, eat together, play games, etc. and yet we all had our space to have some quiet time/ take naps, etc. The owners have everything you will need provided ~ they have thought of everything!! It's so comfortable and very tastefully decorated. Very clean with comfortable bed and furniture throughout. I can't say enough about the commercial kitchen! It is amazing!! We took turns cooking meals and I found myself hanging out in the kitchen just so I could help clean up and use the dishwasher! Very well supplied kitchen, for sure! The outdoor space is great too. A large patio to gather and barbeque if you want. A couple of us performed a dance on the stage, we took walks on the country road, it was just a magical place! You feel like you are way out in the country in the woods, it's so quiet and peaceful but it's only a short drive into the town of Athol. My entire family agreed that this was the perfect place for our special gathering. We will make it a priority to gather here again! The hosts were great ~ very attentive when we needed them for questions, but not intrusive! The host/owners are excellent ~ they know what their guests need and how to treat them.
We had such a great experience at this location. We had a family reunion which 31 people attended. There were plenty of beds, rooms and bathrooms for all. The teens enjoyed staying in the bunk room. Grandma and Grandpa got to enjoy the beautiful master suite and families that needed a little more seclusion could happily stay in one of the cabins. The property was clean, there were tons of things to do both on the property and around it, the owners were easy to work with and the setting was beautiful. We were very pleased with the entire experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion at Cider Mtn. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen is amazing and we’ll stocked. The owners were attentive and caring, even setting up all sorts of yard activities for the kids! We’ll be back for sure!!
We were a family reunion of 19 (only 2 kids under 10). This place could not have been better, Perfect place for a family reunion in the country. The commercial kitchen was well stocked, in fact everything was well stocked. The beautiful lawn was perfect for lawn games. Corrie and Chris - thank you!!! Perfect place for a wedding, lots of nice touches - they thought of everything!!! Beautiful and beyond expectations!!
