About Us

Jennis Bay is run by Kim and Kent and their dog Bravo.

Kim was born in Canada and raised in Northern Idaho, Priest River.  Her father was a logger in the area and made Jennis Bay his home, where her family would come up in the summers and visit during her teenage years.  She is grateful that he showed them this beautiful part of the world and continuous to feel that her dad is looking down upon them constantly, grinning and thinking "I knew you would come back."  Her mother scattered his ashes in the bay and on the road in 1983.  She is so glad she has been given the opportunity to manage this wonderful marina.

Kent was born in Colorado and raised in San Diego. He moved to Northern California where he worked in a saw mill and then began logging the last of the old growth redwoods.  After moving back to San Diego briefly to work at the zoo, Kent finally found his home in Idaho as a foremen of a construction company.  He designed and built his spacious and rustic home on 20 timbered acres outside of Priest River with wildlife abound.  He's in his element in the Broughton Islands.

Bravo is our 11-year-old golden lab.  He lost his left eye several years ago while sleeping on the family cabin porch one night when he was attacked by a wolf.  He still remains a loving and protective companion despite this unfortunate circumstance. He eagerly welcomes each boat that arrives and welcomes friendship wholeheartedly.
