About the neighborhood
Perched high above Sandpoint, Idaho, Schweitzer Mountain Resort is the largest ski area in Idaho and Washington, offering an unmatched year-round mountain lifestyle. With 2,900 acres of skiable terrain, 92 named runs, and 2,400 feet of vertical drop, Schweitzer is a true destination for skiers, snowboarders, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
In winter, guests can enjoy world-class powder, eight lifts, and terrain suited for every skill level—from beginner cruisers to expert tree runs. The Basin Express Chairlift is just steps from your door, providing effortless ski-in/ski-out access to the slopes.
When the snow melts, Schweitzer transforms into a summer adventure hub, featuring over 40 miles of hiking and biking trails, scenic chairlift rides, huckleberry picking, and breathtaking views of Lake Pend Oreille—one of the largest natural lakes in the Pacific Northwest.
Just a short walk away, the Schweitzer Village offers cozy cafés, local restaurants, après-ski bars, boutique shopping, and seasonal festivals. The charming lakeside town of Sandpoint is only 11 miles down the mountain, where you’ll find art galleries, breweries, and the popular City Beach Park.
Whether you’re here for winter thrills or summer serenity, Schweitzer Mountain delivers the perfect blend of adventure, luxury, and Northwest charm—all right outside your front door.

Getting around
Parking:
Parking is limited at this rental. There is space for one large vehicle or two compact cars if parked in tandem. If you are arriving with more than one vehicle, additional parking is available at the Schweitzer Fire Station/Roundabout on the way up the mountain—this is the only area on the mountain that permits overnight parking. Once parked at the home, it’s an easy walk to the village for restaurants and other amenities.
Ski-In/Ski-Out Access:
This home is ski-in/ski-out. Please note that there is a short walk to the corner of the road to reach the ski-out access. If snow is on the road it's just a few steps out your front door. You can take the Basin Chair up and ski directly to the back patio.
