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.

Visit Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast to reconnect with land, life and spirit.

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.

Upscale Sandpoint Campground 

Usually rain on a camping trip would spell disaster, but for us it was no problem.  The wood stove kept us cozy warm and we were perfectly dry and happy in our tent and in the kitchen.  We were even able to enjoy the sound of the rain on the tent which would not be possible on any other camping trip. Thanks for everything-this was great!  It made our anniversary very special.

Delightful and a wonderful change of pace!!  It was like a trip back in time–a much less hurried and simpler time.  All the “little touches” combine to form a truly memorable experience.  The boys are already asking to come back next summer.  Thank you and the best of luck.

Marbles and Bicycles in North Idaho

Marbles and Bicycles in North Idaho

Bicycles, Marbles and Gifts, oh my!  This store is a “must” when visiting Clark Fork, Idaho. 

Jim and Katie Junget moved to Clark Fork to live out their small town dream.  Jim wanted a bike shop and Katie loved  marbles.  So voila, Sweet Bicycles & Marbles was born.  This strange combination makes for an interesting store. 

Sweet’s  stocks regular as well as Jim’s “custom bikes”.  You should see Jim ride his bouncy, clown bicycle in our 4th of July parade.  Also, to the many coast-to-coast bicyclist traveling through Clark Fork, his repair shop is a welcome site. Jim also opened his shop to the local Boy Scout Troop to help them with their bicycling merit badges. That is what small town living is all about.

Katie operates the gift/marble side of the store.  You’ll find lots of bear and moose gift items.  My favorite things, however, are the marbles.  Big ones, small ones, shooters and collectibles–she has them all.  I took my three children in there and got them completely outfitted with marbles for only $6.50–total.   A great souvenirs in this budget conscience year.

Sweet’s is located on Highway 200 as you are driving through Clark Fork on your way to Huckleberry Tent and Breakfast.  Definitely put this on your itinerary, especially if you have children.
