    Sleep's Cabins named business of the month

    SAGLE — Sleep’s Cabins, the historic vacation getaway treasure on Lake Pend Oreille, received the Business of the Month award by the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce for the month of January.  With cozy, unique themed and decorated cabins depicting the Northwest culture, a fire pit for families and friends to gather, and delicious homemade cookies packaged with warm hospitality, Sleep’s Cabins is a place like none other. 

    Owned by Brent and Tawnie Sleep, the historic cabins are a labor of love.  Brent’s grandparents, William F. and Frances Hamilton Sleep, originally purchased the property in 1936 for $75 for each of the three 50 foot lakefront lots – a challenge during the years of the Great Depression.  The vision was to build a restaurant and rental cabin resort with home-cooked meals.  Grandma had her own idea which did not include slaving over a wood burning stove, but she grasped the idea of rental cabins.  She invested her time planting beautiful flower gardens requiring the family to haul truckloads of dirt and build a lake-water irrigation system since she built them from a rock point.
