Winter is still here, but we are already working behind the scenes to prepare for this summer.

Working on the website, starting a new facebook page, joining the North Idaho Bed and Breakfast Association, deep cleaning the house and thinking about what I want to plant in the summer garden.

  • Our custom pressed apple cider
  • Butter

Coffee, hot chocolate, tea, sugar, creamers, cooking oil, salt and pepper are already provided in your camp kitchen.   Cook over the campfire with a cast iron skillet or on the 2-burner propane hotplate.

Have some fun cooking outdoors.

  • Choice of meat–hamburger, boneless chicken breast, roast beef, etc
  • Potatoes, carrots and onions (thinly sliced)
  • Campbell’s Cream of Something Soup

On a large piece of heavy duty foil, place some meat, potatoes, carrots and onion.  Top with a spoonful of Cream of Something Soup.  Bring foil up and around.  Fold and seal all edges.  Place in medium to medium-low coals, rotating as needed.   Check by opening slightly and piercing veges with a fork.  When veges are tender, it’s ready to eat.

The best corn I have ever eaten. Simple and yummy. 

Soak corn, leaving on the husks, in cold water.  Place on grill over medium coals.  Cook 20-25 minutes rotating as needed.  Remove from fire and remove the husks (it’s hot-be careful).  Drizzle with butter, sprinkle with salt and enjoy.

Glamping at Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast near Sandpoint Idaho

Glamping at Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast

When Tim and I started our old-fashioned Tent and Breakfast, we didn’t realize we would be on the fringes of a new phenomenon–glamorous camping.  “Glamping” as it is called, is pampered camping. It often includes butlers lighting your fire, maids starting your electric blanket and your tent wired with electricity and all the other modern conveniences.

Well, Tim will start your campfire if you’re running late (nice guy that he is).  However, our vision was to have our guest experience the wilderness.  Part of experiencing something is doing and learning.  We love watching our guest try pioneer living–use a kerosene lamp, light a fire, hand pump water and use the outdoor shower. We give pointers but the only way to truly learn is to do it yourself.

In regards to camping, we wanted to keep the best–roasting marshmallows over the fire, star gazing, nature hikes, watching the morning begin with the sun filtering through the canvas tent roof–and minimize the discomfort.  Anyone remember the leaky air mattresses that didn’t even last one night.  

At Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast, we strive to keep the right balance between comfort and real old-fashioned camping.   You won’t find our tents wired for electricity, video games, high-speed internet or tv.  However, you will have a private, wilderness camping experience in beautiful North Idaho.

Lodging on your way to Glacier National Park

Idaho Lodging on your way to Glacier National Park

Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast offers Idaho Lodging with Glacier National Park a short day’s drive away

When we started our North Idaho Tent and Breakfast, it never occurred to us that we would be a great stop for people heading for Glacier National Park in Montana.  But, almost half of our guest last summer were on their way to or from the Park. 

The Park is only a short day’s drive away; plus, you don’t have to unload all of your camping stuff. We have everything already set up for your convenience. Also, North Idaho has miles of hiking trails with no permits needed.

When you get to the Park,  Tim and I strongly recommend making your way to Polebridge.  There is an old-fashioned general store that makes the most wonderful pastries–in the middle of nowhere! It is definitely worth the drive.

So if your thinking of a vacation to Montana this summer.  We would love to have you stay a night or two at Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast.
