Driving Directions
Using GPS (Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.), use “12515 NE Newman Lake Dr, Newman Lake, WA 99025” as your destination.
You can use Google Maps and simply type “Silverbeard’s Marina” as your destination. That will also work!
Please lock your car when not in it for your safety.
Don't Forget to Bring...
Here is a basic list of things you could consider bringing. We know you’ll have your own needs and preferences, but we thought it might be helpful to consider what else to bring—as we know what amenities we already provide!
- Personal toiletries
- Camera, memory cards, charger
- Personal electronics chargers
- Batteries
- Flashlight (it can get pretty dark at night!)
- Bug spray
- Bathing suits, floats, life preservers
- Wood for the fire pit*
*Please be advised: Check https://spokanecleanair.org/burning/burn-restrictions/ to see if you can have a campfire. July and August tend to be restriction months, so don’t be surprised if you are not allowed to have a fire in the pit. If you do during a restriction, you might get a neighbor or two (or the fire department!) show up and let you know!
Planning Your Arrival
We’ll provide you with an access key code before your arrival via text. This will allow you to check yourself into the property. Please make sure you have received the code before you travel. If you haven’t received this before heading out, please contact us. There’s nothing worse than arriving somewhere new (potentially at night) and not being able to get in!
HOW TO USE KEYPAD:
- When you first approach the door, the keypad will be unlit. It will light up after you’ve entered in your first number
- Enter the code you were sent. If done correctly, you will see a blue check mark and the deadbolt will open
- When inside, simply turn the lock paddle to lock the door
- When leaving the unit, press the padlock button in the lower right corner to lock the door. You should hear a beep if done successfully
Check-in Time
Your check-in time is 3pm. We can sometimes arrange an early check-in, so please contact us if you plan to arrive early and we’ll do our best to accommodate you (we can’t promise, unfortunately). If you are arriving early, have a look at the “local area guide” section. We’ve listed lots of things you can do around the area while you’re waiting to check in.

Local Weather
For the most up-to-date weather forecast check this link.
Remember: The weather person is the one person who can be wrong and still keep their job. We like to say, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.”
General comments regarding Spokane weather: Spokane is considered a desert. Year-round, it is very arid. It will mean hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. It also can get rather cool at night, even in summer. You’re best off packing and wearing layers when in Spokane.
HOUSE RULES
Please observe the following rules (we really appreciate it!):
- No smoking/vaping inside the property (If you must smoke/vape, please do so at least 20 feet from the unit, and do not leave butts on the ground)
- No pets allowed unless pre-arranged
- Respect quiet hours from 10 PM to 8 AM
- Do not disturb or inconvenience the neighbors in any way
- Only registered guests are allowed on the property unless arranged prior to your stay. You are limited to four (4) daytime guests to visit the property during the day. This is due to the septic system and noise concerns. If you intend to have day visitors, please make that clear at the time of booking.
- Do not host parties or events without prior approval
- Keep the property clean and tidy, and report any damages or issues immediately
- Do not move or rearrange the furniture without permission
- Do not engage in any illegal activities on the property
- Do not leave any food or garbage outside that could attract pests
- No open flames inside the unit, such as candles or incense
- No food should go down the kitchen sink drain as there is no disposal
- Swimming, boating, or other water sports are done at your own risk (there is no lifeguard on duty)
- Should you wish to rent a boat slip, a paddle board, row boat, canoe, etc., visit the shop above your unit.
- It’s not a hard-fast rule, but as the grounds have dirt and sand, you may wish to take your shoes off upon entering the unit to keep things cleaner during your stay

About The House
Kitchen Information
You will find in the kitchen a refrigerator, microwave, oven/stove, toaster oven, coffee maker, and dishwasher. They should all operate as expected. A few things to note:
REFRIGERATOR: Keeps food cold! Before you check out, make sure you take your food with you.
STOVE: The stovetop electric with a glass cook top. When any one of the “burners” gets hot, you’ll see it glow red. Be advised that the stove stays pretty hot once turned off. A red light will indicate that the surface remains hot. When it goes out, it will be relatively safe to the touch.
COFFEE MAKER: We have a Keurig coffee maker. Feel free to use any of the pods present or bring your own!
DISHWASHER: Dishwasher detergent is provided for you under the sink.
COOKWARE, UTENSILS, DISHES: The unit is stocked with pots, pans, utensils, silverware, glasses, mugs, and plates.
Heating & Cooling
In the Spring and Summer months at Newman Lake, it can get hot during the days (a dry heat), but rather cool at night. Most locals take advantage of this by opening windows while sleeping to cool down the unit. There is one air conditioner that can be used if needed.
In the Fall and Winter months (or a smattering of cold evenings in the Spring or Summer), there are two heat sources: The mini-split in the living area, as well as an infrared heater below the mini-split. When you arrive, if the unit is cold, you can turn the thermostats to 68 – 71F.
Please note: If you have the baseboards on, do make sure the curtains are not covering or touching the baseboards for your safety.
Washer & Dryer
We have a coin-operated washer and dryer just outside the unit. Walk towards the lake after leaving, make a right and the laundry area is on the corner.
Please empty the lint trap of the dryer after each load.
Bathrooms
Please only flush toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. We have a septic system and need to keep it operational.
Televisions
There are televisions in the living room and the Master Bedroom. They are smart televisions and should already be hooked up to the WiFi. Free programming can be viewed on Crackle or FreeVee. Other apps, like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, or more will require you to log in to your account. If you should do so, please log out before you check out!
Security Cameras
You may notice several cameras around the exterior of the property. These are for your protection as well as the owners. The spotlight cameras are set to turn on lights dusk to dawn.

The Garden Area & The Beach
THE GARDEN AREA: Just outside the unit is your garden area where you’ll find a table and chairs, a fire pit and some log stools.
FIRE PIT: Should you wish to use the metal fire pit, you’ll need to bring your own kindling and firewood. Also bring a bucket of water and a bucket of sand (it’s sometimes easier to put out a fire with sand). DO NOT USE IF RESTRICTIONS ARE IN EFFECT!
BEACH: The Lodge shares space with Silverbeard’s Marina, on which there is a beach and dock area. You may play on the beach, bring some of your own chairs and sit in the sun, or go swimming (all at your own risk).
SWIMMING: There is no lifeguard on duty at our little beach. Swimming is entirely at your own risk. Jumping off the dock or diving is strictly forbidden.
KEEP OUR BEACH CLEAN: Should you bring food, drink, or pretty much anything, please only leave footprints and only take pictures. Please take all waste back to the unit to be placed in the trash.

A word about Cannabis…
Drive for 10 minutes in any direction in Spokane and you’re bound to see shops that sell recreational and medicinal cannabis. It is legal in the state of Washington. Smoking or vaping in and around our property is not allowed, but edibles are fine—but be careful if you’ve never tried them before.
NOTE: Although cannabis is legal in Washington State, it is illegal in Idaho. If you intend to travel to Idaho, do not bring any with you! Drink or Imbibe Safely!
Check Out
CHECK-OUT TIME
Check-out time is strictly 11am. If you require a later check-out, we’ll do our best to accommodate it. But please bear in mind, you’ll need to let us know beforehand.
If we have guests arriving that day, it will be almost impossible to offer a late check-out due to the cleaners needing to prepare for those guests.
CHECK-OUT PROCESS
Before your departure, we’d appreciate if you would take care of the following:
- Leave the beds unmade. No need to strip them.
- Place used towels on the floor in front of the bathroom.
- Load the dishwasher and start it.
- Empty all the trash. Place tied garbage bags inside the unit by the front door.
- Move all furniture and items back to their original locations.
- Set the thermostat to 69F if in the cold season.
- Check all doors and windows to be sure that they are locked.
We hope you had a wonderful stay and wish you safe travels back home!
