This tranquil ski chalet nestled into the base of Schweitzer Mountain, featuring breathtaking views and lavish amenities, is destined to make your next Northern Idaho escape unforgettable.
Ideally located near private forested land and just minutes from town, you’ll discover local attractions such as Baldfoot Disc Golf, Action Water Sports, and Lakeview Park all within a five-mile radius. Spend a day playing a round of disc golf in a scenic setting, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply lounging on the picturesque shores of Lake Pend Oreille. In the colder months, nearby Schweitzer Mountain Resort offers top-tier skiing and snowboarding, as well as hiking and mountain biking in the summer.
Step into your peaceful getaway and be welcomed by a sun-soaked, open-concept living area bursting with charming rustic decor that beautifully blends the surrounding natural elements. Snuggle up on the plush sofa to stream your favorite movies on the smart TV, or sip some cocoa by the wood-burning stove. A well-appointed kitchen boasts modern appliances and ample counter space for effortless food preparation. Gather at the adjacent table for delicious home-cooked meals and then break out the board games. Should weather permit, utilize the outdoor grill for a barbecue and relax on the spacious deck, reveling in the crisp air and flowing creek song. The well-furnished bedrooms feel extra inviting with cozy linens and vintage artwork. After a fun day on the slopes, unwind with a glass of wine on the balcony to watch the sunset or indulge in a rejuvenating soak in the private hot tub to soothe those aching muscles. Even better, sit around the firepit for s’mores under the stars, and reminisce on another wonderful day in this alpine paradise.
Ski enthusiasts will delight in additional amenities such as a ski boot dryer, a ski tuning bench, and a well-stocked library of classic ski literature for those warm and peaceful nights in.

Great Location, on Creek, close to Schweitzer
Very unique and charming rental, right on the creek with a nice fire pit and outdoor areas. You can see the creek from the hot tub! It is probably great for cooking off in the summer, but it was frigid at the end of March with all the snow melt. Bedrooms were good, lots of small things like fans available, Keurig, etc. Tons of cool ski memorabilia and local books too!!

Beautiful cabin, convenient to Schweitzer
This was the perfect cabin for our ski vacation. The hot tub was a delight to relax in after a day of skiing, and it was also fun to split some firewood to use in the real wood fireplace.

Great location for us!
We had a great time in Sandpoint. We visited family and had the grand boys stay with us in the “cabin”. We all loved traipsing through the woods a bit and going in the hot tub!!We drive up to Schweitzer Mtn 2 days. A very close and easy drive. The place was very comfortable and had a homey feeling. Oh, Grampie and the boys really liked the wood store/fireplace and learning to make fires for us.
