About this property
18-acre Italian-Style Mountain Villa: Talus Rock Retreat in Sandpoint, Idaho
Escape to Talus Rock Retreat for your memory-making getaway. This peaceful villa is situated on a stunning 18-acre wilderness playground only one mile from downtown Sandpoint, Idaho, though you'll feel a world away in this hidden gem! We're the perfect launchpad for exploring the inland empire of northern Idaho. Adventure abounds around the grandeur of Lake Pend Oreille, the deepest lake in Idaho. We're a short drive to Schweitzer Mountain for hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and more exciting alpine excursions too. Another short drive will land you at Silverwood Amusement Park. Stay in town for sightseeing around Sandpoint, as it's a great town for foodies with our excellent cadre of expert chefs!
Each of the six-bedroom ensuites is unique! Five have King-size beds, and the sixth is in the mother-in-law suite that enjoys a full kitchen, a sitting area, and a Queen-size bed. Though six individuals or couples nestle in flawlessly, the villa will sleep up to 24 people creatively with pull-outs, roll-aways, and a couple of tuck-away twin lofts our adolescent guests are sure to claim in two of the rooms, as well as a bunk bed and futon in our Theatre Room.
Indulge yourself with a soak in our outdoor hot tub in the sunshine, rain, or snow. Ahhh. Relax in the infrared sauna. In the steamy summer heat, cool off in our diminutive dipping pool. Wander the beautifully landscaped grounds and the nature trail wrapping itself around the grounds like a woodland hug with whimsy along the way. Tantalize your tastebuds at our "Honor Bar" for midnight munchie-style snacks and a thoughtfully curated selection of wine, beer, and canned cocktails. The two Great Rooms have open floor plans, each including a gourmet kitchen with opportunities to create culinary masterpieces! It's all a little decadent, but you know you're worth it!
(And did we mention that your canine companions are welcome too? Woof! Woof!)
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We rented this property to have a central location before our wedding with friends and family. The location and property are stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice. The owners were thorough, kind, and very professional. We all had an amazing time and we would absolutely go back!
While our stay had to be cut short, our time on property was relaxing and enjoyable beyond expectations. The photos don't do it justice, and when I communicated this to the property manager her response was, "We prefer to overdeliver, and want the wow moment when people walk in." That mentality shows up everywhere on property, this place is meant to inspire.
It is a big property and it took some time getting to know where to find a few of the necessities, but once we did we settled in and appreciated the scenery and wildlife meandering around the property. Heather and her staff went above and beyond setting up activities for us and coordinating several meals with a local chef. We were sad we couldn't stay, but look forward to repeating the visit in the future.
Very nice property, big enough to accommodate 21 people. Didn't look exactly like in the pictures but t was OK. Makayla and Jay were very helpful.The only problem was the sound insulation between rooms, i got Rio room and we were able to hear noises and conversations from the room next to us.
