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.

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!
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!
Overall we had a great stay. The place had everything we needed (beds, towels, linens, kitchen supplies, etc).
The hot tub and the bottom locker room were great amenities to have.
We were able to walk to Schweitzer which was a plus.
Bedrooms were great, just need to make sure people are able to get up the ladders if you have a big group.
Lastly, the owners were great and very reliable and communicative.
We’d go back!
If you have a large family or group of friends that want to stay at a mountain resort, put this at the top of your list. We have a group of 9 docs who ski together yearly. This home was perfect. It is almost new, cheerful, nicely decorated, and spacious. Excellent view, w lake view. Kitchen was well stocked for large groups. The mountain is excellent for skiing, all levels. Owners are gracious.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house can accommodate a good number of people. We had seven men, which typically becomes a problem as most homes assume two to a bed......NOT FOR MEN! Sunspot was very accommodating. Each room (except Master) comes with a loft that has three beds. So, two of us stayed in lofts. The bed ware very comfortable and it gave us all the privacy that you would need. Terry (owner) was very on top of everything. The Kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking anything! Even large pots to make chili. You will like this home.

Sweet Sweet Location
House was beautiful and large. Having the five separate suites was ideal so everyone had their privacy. Laundry machine worked. Fully stocked kitchen. Location was quick walk to the mountain 10mins. Most of the time a random scooped us up on the way. We were very upset the management team did not communicate the hot tub would be unavailable. I get it was something out of their control with the snow but this is very critical to our group, we start our housing search by filtering for a tub. Checking in the first day after a long day of skiing to find the tub is closed really sucked. It would have softened the blow to have communicated this preemptively or work on getting it usable during our 7 days. That being send they team did provide us with a substantial discount to apologize. Our driveway was one of the few that was not plowed and our car kept getting stuck. Great place to stay to visit schwietzer
We recently stayed at the Sunspot Lodge with my siblings and spouses - 10 adults in all. We picked Sunspot because of the five bedrooms with five attached bathrooms. The Lodge was very comfortable with a large kitchen, a big dining table, roomy living room with electric fireplace, and all secondary bedrooms were a nice size with lofts and bathrooms. The kitchen was so well-stocked we had no problems preparing meals for our large group. The Lodge is in a beautiful location that is quiet and peaceful. We saw many deer and a moose on our drives up and down the mountain. Schweitzer Resort is just a short drive or 10 minute walk away. We hiked up the mountain and earned a free ride down on the chair lift. We had a great time hiking on several trails and enjoyed the abundance of wildflowers. Lake Pend Oreille is just down the mountain and offered beautiful scenery and a fun boat tour. There is an easy trail that winds along the edge of the lake. Shopping is also just down the mountain, along with many choices for restaurants. The Lodge was clean and orderly when we checked in. I especially want to commend the hosts for their very quick and thorough communication. I have never dealt with such professional hosts who were so easy to communicate with. I appreciated that very much. We highly recommend Sunspot Lodge for a great vacation location with a large group.
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.
This our second time staying at this property with a group of coworkers. Very spacious and awesome set up with all the suites. Looking forward to booking this place again for next years trip. Very responsive and helpful host!
Loved the location to the resort and the place was just fantastic. Plenty for room for all, very comfortable and excellent communication. We will be back!
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.
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
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.
Mission accomplished. Plenty of snow, fun and games. Perfect set up for our family. Kitchen wonderfully stocked with every cooking item you need. Set up to be all together as a group or sneak off to your own suite for movie watching, book reading or a little afternoon napping.
The house was great, each bedroom had it's own bath. The kitchen was nicely appointed. They had extra chairs so our group of 10 could all sit at the table. The hot tub could sit 5 or 6 comfortably. The owner was very responsive when contacted.It's possible to walk to the resort but it would be difficult for most.The resort offered an on call shuttle doing the weekend. It would have been awesome if that was provided for the entire week
