Spacious and Close to Mountain

Comfortable beds and great proximity to Schweitzer but trains run frequently day and night and the horns are loud. Pool/air hockey table was fun for the teens and the hot tub was enjoyed by all!

Great place!

It is a beautiful property. Clean and very nicely decorated. Our only complaint is that there was no where near enough towels for the number of people the property is designed to sleep. But other than that we all enjoyed our stay.

Great location and all that you need.

The property has lots beds and amenities. Kitchen is well stocked and it is a great location just 20 minutes from Schweitzer and less than a mile from the bus shuttle. I took off one star due to the train tracks being very close and loud to the house as well as the kitchen and dining area being a little small.

Well stocked

The place was well stocked with cooking supplies, towels and bedding. The location was amazing, very close to Schweitzer, which we drove to every day and very close to downtown Sandpoint. Hot tub was perfect temperature. Initially worried about the train tracks being across the road but honestly, they weren’t that loud or frequent….Would definitely rent this place again!

A week in Sandpoint

My family and I spent seven nights here in July. Although there is no AC, there were many fans and the house was very comfortable all day and night. The house was well-equipped. When we needed help, the owner responded within an hour. Would stay here again.

Nice overall

Check in was rocky at first due to the cleaning crew not being finished at check in time but, they allowed us to bring our items inside. Location was great, close to sandpoint + the lake. Super hot in the summer and there is no AC so just beware. Overall was great for a weekend stay!

Nice place to stay

There were a couple things, burnt sausages in the bbq, load of laundry in the washing machine, icy parking area, and wobbly chairs, that could’ve been better. I would recommend some type of steps or ladder to get into the hot tub. That was a bit difficult. All in all a pretty good stay.

Winter Trip

The house is great, especially if traveling with kids. The location was easy to get to and convenient. If you are visiting in the winter, be sure to communicate with the owner, as 4-wheel drive and potentially traction tires or chains may be necessary to get up the driveway. The owner did communicate this ahead of the trip, and communicated frequently and promptly throughout.

Spacious and bright

We had a great stay. The house was spacious and in a beautiful setting. The recently added hot tub was excellent for after a day of skiing. The driveway was a little challenging with ice and snow on it, but the host forewarned us and we all had vehicles that could manage it. There are train tracks across the street with frequent trains passing by. It didn't negatively affect our stay, we were just surprised at how many trains there were.

Great stay just 15 minutes away from Schweitzer!

My family and I had a great overall week long stay here. We went to ski at Schweitzer and the house is only 15 minutes away, which was awesome! The house was very well furnished with supplies and cooking utensils. There was a pack n play and booster seat which was great for my youngest, as well as baby gates for the stairs which was super helpful! A few things about the location: The train tracks are directly across the road and trains run 24/7 through there, so good to know if you’re a light sleeper or have babies/kids. Also the top floor bedroom floor creaks quite a bit and can be loud, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The outside deck was really nice to relax on next to the propane fire pit, and there were 2 full propane tanks available. The whole place was very accommodating for our family trip and I definitely recommend it.
