Quail Cottage is located on a quiet, dead-end street in a somewhat rural area of Bonners Ferry, situated on a "rim lot" overlooking the Kootenai Valley, with lovely views of the Selkirk Mountains to the west. "Ski-in / Ski-out" applies to Cross Country skiing. While our property feels very secluded, Bonners Ferry is just 5 minutes down the hill, so if you forgot something at the grocery store, it's a quick trip to town and back. The Kootenai Wildlife Refuge is just 15-20 minutes away, and national forests, hiking, waterfalls, lakes, and the Kootenai River are all nice day excursions. After enjoying the great outdoors during the day, visit some of the local restaurants for dinner, or try your hand at the local casino. WINTER BOOKINGS: Bonners Ferry can experience light to heavy amounts of snow from late September through March, with the occasional fluke snow before/after these dates! People come to Bonners to enjoy the winter wonderland. So please plan for snow - clothing and vehicle, and pack your winter emergency kit in your vehicle, just in case. The City/County plow snow on the main roads in town, and the paved roads leading to the Quail property. The last 1000 feet is a private gravel road shared by about 8-9 neighbor properties. The gravel road is plowed by our wonderful neighbors. Driving slowly on the gravel road is imperative, to preserve the road and prevent potholes. Our property is inside a fenced 1-acre (in addition to our forested 10 acres), and we do not plow or blow the snow inside the fence. So if there is much snow, you'll probably need to shovel the driveway. We ask that you shovel it off to the side so it doesn't pile up and block the driveway for the next guests. If you're booking a stay during potential snow season: Please monitor weather forecasts for *severe* weather, and plan groceries and parking accordingly. You may want to park out on the main road and walk to the Cottage if it's going to snow a lot and you need to drive somewhere. Or stay home, watch movies, read a book, or do puzzles and enjoy the Winter beauty! Vehicles: AWD, 4WD, front wheel drive vehicles, good winter tires, etc. are all helpful in the winter. Bring your slippers and pajamas, and settle in and relax! We're sorry, but we do not offer refunds for last-minute weather events. Bonners Ferry is a 4-season paradise, and people come to the area in the winter specifically for skiing, hunting, winter hiking, holidays, etc. So we are unable to offer refunds at the last minute because we likely could have re-booked the dates with more advance notice. WINTER GUESTS: Snow shovels provided for you to shovel front porch. We have a snow plow contracted to clear the driveway.
