Priest Lake, Idaho, is one of the northernmost cities in the state. The lake itself is absolutely breathtaking with its sparkling, crystal clear blue waters against a backdrop of majestic trees and mountains - a great spot that could surely go head to head against the top places to go for a vacation in the US. It is divided into two halves, Lower and Upper Priest Lakes. The largest portion of the lake is the lower portion, which is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) long and is only 24 kilometers (15 miles) from the Canadian border. Both the lake and the flora and fauna surrounding it are pristine. Needless to say, visitors flock to the city mainly to experience the enchanting lake. If you are visiting the area, stay in an accommodation that you enjoy as much as the beautiful lake, much like many of the most scenic lakefront Airbnbs in the country.
