About this property
Sunspot Lodge w/Sauna and Spa
**No cleaning fees - no chore or checkout lists!**
Sunspot is one of the largest private lodges on Schweitzer Mountain and features 5 suites, four sleeping lofts, a Peloton studio, a dedicated spa room with infrared sauna and hot tub, and a completely remodeled kitchen. Sunspot is within walking distance to the Schweitzer Resort for winter or summer activities but optimized for guests seeking privacy and isolation with a dedicated office space, ensuite bathrooms in all bedrooms, and a ski locker.
Sunspot is designed to maximize comfort and convenience for a family gathering - a fully stocked kitchen with luxury appliances and table settings for 18, a private master retreat with a Peloton and dedicated work from home space, and 4 two-story secondary suites with ensuite bathrooms spread across 5 floors and over 3800 square feet. We have also installed an 8 person hot tub and sauna in a dedicated spa room on the first floor of the lodge.
Sunspot is arranged to provide an optimal experience for large families, multi-generational gatherings, or a group of friends. The lodge includes a large dressing and equipment room on the first floor, designed with both adults and children in mind, to make suiting up for a day of skiing or biking easy and enjoyable. Sunspot includes a specialized laundry area with a new washer and dryer offering the latest technology to help keep your active wear in top condition for the trip.
On the main floor, the lodge has a completely remodeled kitchen equipped with luxury appliances and stocked with 24 place settings and enough pots, pans and kitchen utensils to prepare any meal. The dining room has two seating areas to accommodate groups of various sizes for formal or informal meals and a separate bar area near the main fireplace to unwind in the evening.
The main level master suite has lofted wood ceilings, its own fireplace, and dedicated work from home and exercise spaces to allow guests to maintain their work or workout routines in a comfortable and tranquil environment. A Peloton bike and yoga mats are provided for guests to use while looking out over the ridges of Schweitzer Mountain. The master suite also features a jetted tub and walk in shower.
The top floors of the lodge have four two-story bedroom suites, each with its own full bath and a loft sleeping area for the little ones. Three upstairs suites are equipped with new smart TVs , allowing guests to stream their favorite content throughout the house, and wet bars with small refrigerators, sinks, and microwaves. Loft sleeping areas are accessed via ladders and have full sized beds.
Sunspot uses an entirely virtual and contactless system - remote check-in, electronic locks for guest access, and seamless transactions.
Sunspot is located in a quiet neighborhood just outside the hustle of Schweitzer Mountain Resort - the perfect location for a large family or gathering of friends to enjoy the best of Schweitzer Mountain from their own private retreat. Sunspot is serviced by the Selkirk Recreation District shuttle service on weekends and holiday weeks, with concierge service directly from our door to the resort. Please confirm the shuttle schedule for the dates of your stay with Selkirk Recreational District. Travel to the Village is approximately 2 minutes by shuttle or car..
We have ample parking for multiple families, with space for all of your mountain equipment inside the lodges' private ski locker and equipment room. We highly recommend a capable 4x4 vehicle to access Schweitzer Mountain and the Sunspot lodge during the winter months, as the mountain has steep roads with sharp turns - powder days are common and we want our guests to make the most of them by getting out on the slopes as quickly and safely as possible.
Schweitzer Resort is located 20 minutes up the mountain from the town of Sandpoint and the shores of Lake Pend Oreille.

The hot tub and sauna in the garage worked well and both were clean and hot enough! There were a few heavy stainless steel pots and pans, which we greatly appreciated so we could avoid using teflon
Fantastic communication throughout the process and stay. We needed nothing else in the property during our stay - very well stocked. X-Large towels and extra towels for the hot tub usage were a nice touch. Storage for our equipment was excellent.
The host was extremely responsive to any questions we had. The house was perfect for our 4 families of 4! The hot tub and sauna were so nice after a long day of skiing. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could think of. There were plentiful towels. They really go above and beyond to give their guests a great stay. We can't wait to come back!
Beautiful property. This house is very well stocked with EVERYTHING that you could need. The owners are very responsive and accommodating. We had 3 families in our group, there was plenty of room for everyone to gather in the kitchen /living area or to spread out throughout the house. We highly recommend this home.
We are so glad you enjoyed Sunspot, James. Thank you for staying with us!
Let us know whenever you make plans for a future trip and we will be happy to offer your family a returning guest discount :)
Great time in a beautiful location. The house was clean and had plenty of space for our family. We loved the location; close to many venues and had a wonderful time.
Our family and friends had a blast and this home was perfect! The host was very quick to respond every time we had a question! The place was very clean and there were lots of accommodations! The location was great for quick access to the mountain. Highly recommend this home and we will definitely be staying here again or one of their other locations. Thank you again!

The house was spacious, comfortable, close to the resort parking and had a great view of the mountain. The kitchen was very well stocked. The check in/out process was very easy and my kids really liked the rooms named for different ski runs.

Hosting your family was such a pleasure, Samuel - thanks again for staying with us! We hope you will consider Sunspot for all your future trips to Schweitzer. Until next season!
This place worked out great for our group of 8. Very spacious and plenty of privacy between the suites. Kitchen was well stocked and included everything we needed during our stay. Thanks
Amazing with private bathrooms for each bedroom, effective quiet central heating. Very well appointed kitchen and laundry. Large drying room for gear. Space to dine together or just relax in the lounge. Terry was very responsive to any issues easy to reach by car with plenty of parking space.
This property is amazing. The owners were very easy to communicate with and responsive.
We had 4 families stay and there was enough room. It is the best stocked rental we have every stayed with bathroom supplies, coffee, and the basics for cooking. The kitchen has everything you need! It was VERY clean. Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

We are so glad you loved Sunspot, Laura - your group were amazing guests and we would love to have you all back with us whenever you visit Schweitzer!
Feel free to get in touch at any time for our returning guest discount :)
Sunspot Lodge was perfect for our annual ski and snowboard getaway. 4 families, 5 teens, a 10 year old and an infant - this place had everything we needed! Terry and Jeff were super responsive and helpful. Already planning next year’s trip and will absolutely consider Sunspot. It is not ski in/ski out, but it’s not far and several of us walked to and from the village.
Tons of room. Great kitchen. We were skiing early in the week so the shuttle was not running ( runs Th-Sun when we were there) , but it was a 2 min drive and there was plenty of parking available at the base. Terry ( property manager) was very easy to work with.
