Maverick Mountain Home is perched on a mountainside several hundred feet above picturesque Trestle Creek, a protected Kokanee Salmon and Bull Trout spawning habitat, two short but gorgeous miles up the road from Lake Pend Oreille. Our property is hidden within an epic cedar and hemlock forest, bracketed by the Kaniksu National Forest to the east and conservation land to the west. SPRING/SUMMER/FALL: Spend the afternoon at the Trestle Creek Recreation Area just 2 miles down the road on the edge of Lake Pend Oreille (just off Highway 200) where you can launch your boat, go for a swim, or paddle along the shore in your kayak. Or, for a more adventurous afternoon head up Trestle Creek Road into the Kaniksu National Forest backcountry where you can check out Lunch Peak Lookout, hike the miles of pristine trails to one of the three mountain lakes, explore several waterfalls, or drive the entire 35 mile backcountry loop down to the town of Clark Fork. Better yet, find a secluded spot along Trestle Creek to hang your hammock and read a book until the peaceful sound of the water flowing by and the wind in the trees lulls you to sleep. WINTER: Bring your snow machines and sled in/out to the Trestle Creek loop system boasting spectacular backcountry terrain on 50+ miles of groomed trails, directly from your campsite! Trailer parking is available. If skiing is your thing, Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort is an easy (and gorgeous) 45 minute drive away. Don't tell anyone, but Schweitzer Mountain is an absolute gem of a ski resort with gorgeous terrain (and views) for all ages and skill levels. Our family spends a good bit of time skiing here. Of note: a 4-wheel/all-wheel drive vehicle is required to climb our driveway during winter conditions. OUR STORY: We (Tim and Molly) spent 14 years raising our young family in the desert heat of north Phoenix. Every summer we went camping as many weekends as we possibly could with our four (now five) children. We fell in love with the backcountry forests of the northern Arizona mountain ranges. Somewhere along the way we felt called to have a place where we could share some of the blessings our family experienced in the wilderness with others who long for a quiet place in the woods to unwind and escape the noise and pace of life in the city, if only for a few days. We found this place in 2018, moved our family here in 2019, named it Maverick Mountain Home and started preparing. We've spent the last five years working on all sorts of different projects around the property, including (but certainly not limited to) starting a new business, beginning the long-term remodel of our house, and building out infrastructure for livestock and personal guests. We've dedicated a good portion of the last few months to preparing our first HipCamp site, which we are very excited to start sharing with you, Camper!

Living Water Tent Site

Best campsite I have ever been to.

We stayed for 3 nights. The campsite is at the base of a national forest, it is very well maintained with many extras. Food storage, fire pit, large table, cooking area and the site had plenty of room for a few tents. They provided you with a book with many trail and restaurant suggestions. We tried the pizza and it was amazing! The water from the natural spring was worth the money we paid for the site. Best water I have ever drank. The hosts are amazing as well. She even let my 5 year old collect the eggs himself. He is still talking about it a whole week later. I would recommend this campsite to anyone who wants to have an amazing vacation.

Living Water Tent Site

Beautiful and peaceful spot to camp with a great setup (bear container, trash can, fresh spring water, firewood)! Tim and Molly were great hosts; they were communicative and made sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay with my dog. I will be back!

Living Water Tent Site

Wonderful camp site!

We just spent our 4th of July week camping here and we enjoyed every minute of it! It was very peaceful, the hosts were very friendly and checked in with us often (with our permission) to make sure we had everything we needed and everything was going okay! It was a very central location to all of the mountain adventures we were looking to do over the week! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking in this area! We will most definitely be back!

Living Water Tent Site

Private site, great for tents!

We were looking for a remote/private camping spot, and that’s exactly what we got at the Living Water site. We could hear Trestle Creek from our tent, so relaxing!

Awesome for tent camping! I recommend adding on the fire wood and eggs! Super peaceful and beautiful landscape. Just a quick drive to the lake
