This was our second time to stay at the cabin. We find it very comfortable and has every amenity that you will need. The owner is very gracious and friendly.

It was just lovely. A nearby stream provided tranquil sounds while we sat on the deck and enjoyed each other's company and played in the big gated front yard.
The chalet was perfect for a ski vacation. Very short distance to the free shuttle that took us up the mountain. The host was quick to reply when we had a problem with the coffee maker and she immediately brought a new one only after we figured out our error with the coffee maker. Would highly recommend this property for anybody that wanted to have a great time.
My husband, brother, sister in law and I stayed here for our trip to Schweitzer Mtn. The location was great, close to the mountain and close to town. Cabin had everything we needed. Comfortable, cozy and warm. No issues at all. Lori was available if needed, but everything was perfect so we didn’t have to bother her. Cabin was clean.
Charming mountain cabin atmosphere. Plenty of room for our 5 adults. Full kitchen with enough spices without having to buy more. Plenty of pots and utensils for cooking there. Beds comfortable. Despite sub-zero temperatures the home stayed comfortable. Has parking in driveway. Location ideal: short drive to Sandpoint for restaurants and markets. Mountain ski bus lot is a couple of blocks away and location next to Schweitzer Mountain road made for an easy drive up to ski resort. Only drawbacks were the shortage of toilet paper as we were running out on our last day, and the upstairs bathroom developed a sewer smell over the last 2 days of our stay. Had to leave a wet cloth over the shower drain to control this. if not for these 2 issues, would have been a 5 Star stay.
We were excited to get back up on the slopes and this was the perfect location. Being at the base and out if the city was a nice change to our usual Schweitzer experience.
Great stay! We had a wonderful time in such Adorable
cabin. Lori does such a good job of supplying her cabin with extra amenities. The upstairs living area was a perfect place for opening gifts for Christmas. The cabin is in a beautiful neighborhood. we saw wild turkeys on the first day. Will definitely come back!
Great area and close to Sandpoint and activities in the area. A bit over priced especially when you consider a later check in and earlier check out than other places we have stayed. The owner did allow us to check-in earlier so we could drop our luggage before attending an event.
We celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday as she was finishing her quest to go to all 50 states (Idaho and Montana were the last ones). The house was a perfect base camp for our family! Room for 3 couples to spread out. Space to be together at the kitchen table and on the deck to play cards well into the night. Owners were attentive to any question. Highly recommend this home!
Very nice property. Great location. A little trouble with the electronic lock. I believe due to the sun heating up yhe doir causing it to slightly warp. Thank goodness it cools off at night, since no AC.
Our ski group arrived at the property to discover wild turkeys and deer in the yard! The location was perfect, within walking distance of the blue line Schweitzer bus shuttle. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was well-equipped and very homey. The property is highly recommended.
Great ski option next to shuttle lot and the road up to Schweitzer
Very comfortable house with a nice master BR/BA upstairs and a couple good sized bedrooms and full bath downstairs. Loft area with couches and a TV and a sitting area downstairs next to the warm gas fireplace. Was great to have the option of the ski shuttle - 2 minutes drive (we walked - 10 minutes, but road is pretty busy in the morning) - or you can drive up to the base which takes about 15 minutes (very weather/traffic dependent). House was very well stocked with pretty much anything you should need from kitchen to bathrooms and bedrooms. Lots of nice touches throughout.
Host was responsive - and we enjoyed our stay. But not the best option for people who live online or want to spend lots of time watching TV. As was made clear up front, Internet speeds are really slow and we didn't find much in the way of TV - but we were there to ski, so it didn't matter much to us. And also as advertised, lots of trains pass through Sandpoint. We heard them, but they didn't seem too loud for us.
Would definitely stay here again to ski Schweitzer.
We had a wonderful stay at the chalet! We loved the place, and it had everything we needed for our stay. Lori was super communicative and thoughtful, and the binder provided lots of useful information. The location was exactly what we needed for an easy pop up to ski at Schweitzer Mountain.
Great location to Schweitzer mountain and grocery stores.
Fully equipped kitchen which we used daily.
3 bedrooms were great for 3 adults.
Outdoor grill not available which would have been preferred.
The house was perfect for our needs! Great location and very well equipped. Lori was so easy to work with and the information she provided was very helpful!
Very clean and comfortable as indicated in the listing. The only
issue is the AC is provided by portable room AC units which have to by vented to a window. Not practical. We were able to open windows and use the fans provided to cool the house down adequately, however.
The owners were wonderful to work with and very quick to respond when asked questions. The house was very cozy and clean. The only downfall was the trains that ran by during the night. I'm a light sleeper. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.
