Schweitzer Retreat | Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, Ski Access
Summary:
Perched high in the exclusive Spires community at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, Tall Timber Rustic Mountain Lodge is the kind of alpine escape guests dream about—where powder mornings, mountain sunsets, and cozy nights by the fire become part of your everyday routine. Blending modern luxury with warm mountain charm, this beautifully designed retreat offers the perfect home base for ski trips, outdoor adventures, and unforgettable gatherings with family and friends.
Step inside and instantly feel the warmth of the lodge-inspired interior. Rich wood finishes, soaring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows create a space that feels both elevated and inviting. Natural light pours into the open-concept living area, where breathtaking mountain views surround you from nearly every angle. Whether you're sipping coffee as snow falls outside, preparing après-ski meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or relaxing beside the fireplace after a long day on the slopes, every detail is designed for comfort and connection.
The home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests across thoughtfully designed sleeping spaces, making it ideal for multiple families, couples, or group getaways. The spacious Primary Suite features a luxurious King bed and private ensuite bath, while the additional bedrooms provide cozy, restful retreats after a day outdoors. Kids and extra guests will love the semi-private bunk area tucked off the upper-level living space—perfect for movie nights, late-night laughs, and memorable mountain sleepovers.
After a day carving turns at Schweitzer or hiking scenic alpine trails, soak in your private hot tub and let the mountain air do the rest. Surrounded by towering trees and peaceful forest views, it’s the ultimate place to unwind beneath the stars with a warm drink in hand.
Adventure is always close by. Located just minutes from Schweitzer Village, guests have quick access to world-class skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, dining, and year-round mountain activities. Ski access is located near the home and is best suited for intermediate to expert skiers—reach out for detailed access information and trail maps.
Thoughtful extras like a two-car garage, dedicated ski and gear storage, multiple private balconies, and dog-friendly accommodations make every stay effortless and comfortable. Bring along up to two well-behaved pups so the entire family can experience the mountains together. (A $125 pet fee applies.)
Whether you’re chasing fresh powder, exploring the beauty of North Idaho, soaking under the stars, or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, Tall Timber Rustic Mountain Lodge delivers the perfect blend of luxury, adventure, and cozy mountain living.
