English
In 2009 my husband Jim, and I decided we would begin looking for a lake front cottage for our family to enjoy as well as rent to others for their enjoyment. Soon after finding the perfect spot in North Idaho, on Twin Lakes, we discovered this was a great business to be in. We realized we really get a lot of satisfaction in helping our guests enjoy their limited vacation time.


After 5 successful years of renting out our own cottage and then a golf condo, I was asked to manage someone else's home as a vacation rental. A second one soon followed and thereafter A-List Rental Management was born.


I really enjoy helping others find the right fit in their vacation home and believe we have the best location for any type of holiday you may desire. Each of these homes have great water frontage, private docks, comfortable living spaces, and come with all the amenities you will need for your stay. Call or e-mail for any specifics you may be wondering about and I will be happy to help you.
