Melissa Bolland said her children alerted her to the drone flying around their home.
"My children noticed it first. It kind of came down, hovered around like above the trampoline over there, went around the house kind of really low, hanging to the windows, and then went straight up to the tree and then off again," Bolland told KTUU-TV.
Neighbor Bri Tollefsen said she tried chasing the drone in her car to find its owner, but she lost track of it.
"My gut feeling is it's here casing homes and trying to find out who's there or not," Tollefsen said. "The moment you feel like your privacy is taken away in your own home, it's not a good feeling."
Police confirmed they responded to at least one call about a window-peeping drone, but the device was not located and no report was filed.
The Federal Aviation Administration bars the use of personal drones over private property without permission and the law requires owners to be within line-of-sight of their aircraft at all times.
