About this property

Entire lakeside house in downtown Sandpoint perfect for Lost in the 50s weekend!

The Newport Plums Estate is a one-of-a-kind estate house located walking distance from downtown Sandpoint with all of its outstanding award-winning restaurants and shops.

This is the ideal home to stay at for any family or group coming to enjoy winter sports in Sandpoint or at Schweitzer Mountain Resort for the 2024-25 season. The property is about a 10 minute drive to the mountain.

Past groups that have stayed during the winter have raved how they get to enjoy the "best of both worlds" that Sandpoint has to offers during the winter. The house is walking distance from the award-winning restaurants, pubs and bars in Downtown Sandpoint which are far better than the limited offerings at Schweitzer Village which also close way too early.

For those skiers looking to complement their long days on the slopes with a great hot tubbing experience, this is the place to stay. We are the only home in Sandpoint that has a Diamond Spa custom made stainless steel jacuzzi which (as you can see from the pictures) is sheltered from the elements under a fiberglass roof and can seat up to 8 people. Winter guests have described our jacuzzi as the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the slopes with beer and/or your wine in hand and stars above.

The house and outdoor area by the jacuzzi has been wired for music throughout with a newly installed AV sound system that comes with XSMR and can be accessed your IOS devices as well to play your preferred playlists.

Also, we have installed a brand new outdoor stainless steel gas grill and griddle adjacent to the jacuzzi, which is also depicted in the picture. So guests can now to choose to prepare their own meals inside or out.

Our owners, Melissa and Brian Kramer, love managing this unique property and making sure that our guests experience is outstanding.

There is a bus service to Schweitzer that picks up and drops off one block from the house if you don't want to drive or if the younger ones in your group can't wait to get up to the mountain!

This very spacious house and is packed with modern amenities, and is set up for executives who need to get some work done with high speed internet to facilitate Zoom calls and a high speed printer.

CHECK IN at 4:00pm and CHECK OUT at 10:00am.

ENJOY ALL THE BEST SANDPOINT HAS TO OFFER IN THE WINTER.

The house is ideal for groups coming to enjoy Schweitzer Mountain. Enjoy the best of both worlds as the estate is only 7.5 mile drive to Schweitzer Mountain Resort and three blocks away from downtown Sandpoint. While things shut down at the Schweitzer village at sundown, you can enjoy all the downtown shops, restaurants and bars (and, of course, the Panida Theater) late into the evening. Also, there are far more restaurants and pubs downtown to choose from than the limited options at Schweitzer Village.

For the serious winter sports enthusiasts there is no better place in Sandpoint to enjoy a fantastic hot tubbing experience than in our new stainless steel Diamond Spa Jacuzzi that sits up to eight people under a covered gazebo. Life doesn't get much better than enjoying our jacuzzi with a glass of wine, beer or even hot chocolate in hand and gazing at the stars after having spent the day on the slopes of Schweitzer.

There is a bus service to Schweitzer that picks up and drops off one block from the house if you don't want to drive or if the younger ones in your group can't wait to get up to the mountain!

Note that our pool is shut down for winterization every year from mid-October through sometime in May so it is not available for guests during this period.

SUMMER STAY FUN

There is a lot to do in Sandpoint during the Summer. From the Festival in downtown to Lost In the 50s car show event, this estate home is located in the heart of all the action, and is truly a one-of-a-kind property in South Sandpoint. The Junior Olympic size pool includes an outside bar area with resort grade pool furniture and an outdoor TV.

Located 9 miles from the Idaho Club golf course, and across the street from the Third Street Pier and a short walk to the long bridge. We are also located a few blocks away from the Sandpoint Marina and also the boat launch at Memorial Field so guests may bring their boats and watercraft.

Stunning home!

The home is beautiful and incredibly spacious for all your guests. I loved the open kitchen and the game room with a pool table. We went skiing at Schweitzer and this location was perfect. I’m sure it would also be wonderful to stay in the summer as well.

Brian, Melissa and their house are all 5 star!

Amazing stay and huge thank you to Brian and Melissa! We had another house booked for our group of 20 people that got flooded just days before our trip. Luckily we found Brian and Melissa house - The Newport Plums Estate and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. Honestly I think it was meant to be as their house was much better. Amazing location right in Sandpoint, the place is a beautiful castle, and the hot tub is the nicest 10 person tub I have ever seen. We look forward to hopefully staying again. Book this house, you will not be disappointed!

Multi family dwelling

We were able to house our large family from all over the US comfortably in one place that had more than enough room for our reception which was attended by over 30 people. The house was near the lake and walking distance to downtown. The property manager Mellisa was the best property manager I’ve ever dealt with. She was available 24 hours a day. The house was perfect for family pictures also. I can’t wait to visit again in the summer to use the pool.

The home was beautiful & perfectly equipped. The location was just a short walk to town.

Brian & Melissa were the perfect hosts, always available upon request. They greeted us & showed us through the house upon arrival. The weather was at a 30 year low which caused a few challenges as to proper heating in some of the rooms. An outside pipe burst two days before departure so hot water was an issue. However, we had a wonderful time occupying ourselves in the game room, watching sports & movies on the many tvs as well as family game time.

Great location, plenty of space, lots of helpful supplies!

Our group of 9 along with our two local friends had enough room to gather, and enough room to do remote work. We much appreciated that we did not have to buy dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, a sponge, etc. Loved the gas range, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, 2 washers and 2 dryers, 2 refrigerators, etc. One of the reasons we chose this property was the location. Even though we had multiple rental cars, we often enjoyed walking to restaurants and shops. Oh! And the hot water was always nice and hot! Never ran out even while everyone was showering, laundry was washing, etc. We would defintely stay here again! Thank you Melissa and Brian!

Golden Anniversary celebration

We had four generations of family gathered together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was a blast. The accommodations were wonderful and provided space for all of us to gather together as well as find some quiet spots to escape. The pool and hot tub were a huge success and provided a source of many hours of enjoyment. The pool room and parlor were great for some evening hours of music and billiards. Everyone had a wonderful time and we may have to consider a return visit in the future

Very large house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Great pool and great hot tub. Smoke was heavy but we made the best of it. We did a lot of activities around Sandpoint. Cooked several meals together. We were there 10 days. Jackie, the property manager, helped us out a few times when we needed something and very responsive . I gave her a list of some maintenance items that needed attention. The property is not new. But most everything is functioning, just a little dated.

We had an immediate family wedding and a party the next day for friends. The house was lovely and accommodated us perfectly. The yard was made to look great for the wedding and any problems we had were resolved immediately. Our guests brought children and they thoroughly enjoyed the pool as did we all the rest of the week. The game room was a big hit too. We closed everything down at 10pm per instructions which was nice for us too since family members spent days jet skiing, paddle boarding and kayaking. Thank you to all who helped us to enjoy our stay, our wedding a nd our family reunion.

About the host

Hosted by Brian & Melissa Kramer

Host profile image
Brian & Melissa Kramer are proud members of the Sandpoint community. They are Former Founders of The Idaho Club. Brian and Melissa love everything about Sandpoint from the clean air, the ability to see millions of stars at night, and most of all the warm locals who take great pride in this beautiful community.

Why they chose this property

This is a landmark estate home in downtown Sandpoint that is incredibly spacious and offers terrific amenities including a brand new stainless steel jacuzzi, bi-folding doors opening up to the pool deck for in-and-out door living, a 50's themed game room and a private theater room!

This house is close to everything that you could want to do in Sandpoint. It allows those coming as a group to ski or enjoy winter sports at Schweitzer Mountain to enjoy the best of Schweitzer Mountain Resort and all that downtown Sandpoint has to offer. The house is a short 10 to 15 minute drive away from the Schweitzer ski lifts, and the benefits of staying in town (instead of on the mountain) include that you will have far greater access to the many restaurants and pubs at night than the limited options at Schweitzer Village, which becomes a ghost town after 7:00 p.m.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location: Perched on Lake Pend Oreille, this property is walking distance from Sandpoint’s downtown shops and restaurants and the beach. Only a short drive to either Schweitzer during the ski season and to The Idaho Club during summer golf season.

The house can comfortably accommodate up to 16 overnight guests. It has 5 bedrooms, and 5 full baths, and 2 half baths and is approximately 7,400 square feet. The house sits on a huge 3.5-acre lot. Enclosed behind 50-foot plus tall American Arborvitae trees, guests enjoy a completely private setting once they pass through the front gate.

With Lake Pend Oreille providing a picturesque backdrop, the Newport Plums Estate makes for a perfect venue for any family occasion.

Located only 11-miles from the lifts at Schweitzer Mountain, and 9-miles from The Idaho Club golf course, the house is ideally suited for groups coming to either ski Schweitzer Mountain Resort, play golf at The Idaho Club or enjoy any of the other countless outdoor activities available around Sandpoint.

Guests coming to ski Schweitzer Mountain routinely comment on how nice it is to be able to go to the downtown pubs and restaurants for dinner after enjoying a full day on the slopes. (Free parking and shuttle service is available at the Red Barn Park & Ride area at the base of the mountain).
