Guest Interaction
We’ll give you plenty of space to enjoy Magpie Manor, but we're just a message or phone call away if you need anything. Whether it’s help with the hot tub, local tips, or something unexpected, we’re happy to assist before, during, or after your stay.

The Neighborhood
Magpie Manor sits at the base of Schweitzer Mountain on Granite View Drive, a quiet gravel road that winds through North Idaho’s rugged beauty. You’ll enjoy sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille and the Cabinet Mountains right from the deck—especially magical at sunrise or after a snowfall.

In the winter, the final 0.4 miles up Granite Ridge Road can get icy, so AWD or 4WD vehicles are strongly recommended for safe access.

Guest Access
Guests have full access to the entire home, outdoor spaces, and hot tub—everything you see in the listing is yours to enjoy, except the garage, which is reserved for owner storage.

Tucked into the hillside just outside Sandpoint, Magpie Manor is made for memory-making. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars or watching the kids battle it out on the Pac-Man arcade, this home blends comfort, space, and scenic views into one unforgettable retreat.

Know Before You Go – Magpie Manor Details
We want your stay to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here are a few things to keep in mind before you arrive:

- Train Noise – Magpie Manor overlooks a peaceful valley... that sometimes includes a passing train. It's part of the charm of North Idaho, but sound machines are provided in case you're a light sleeper.

- Winter Driving – Our road (Granite Ridge) is 0.4 miles of mountain gravel, and it can get icy in winter. We recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles when the snow flies.

- No Pets – As much as we love furry friends, this home is a pet-free space to maintain comfort for all future guests.

- No Smoking – For the safety and cleanliness of the home, smoking of any kind is not allowed anywhere on the property.

- Quiet Hours – This is a peaceful mountain community. We ask that you keep things quiet between 10 PM and 9 AM and avoid hosting parties during your stay.
