Stayed just one night at this lovely lodge on our way back home from a road trip Feels more like a big homey mansion where strangers are considered family. Very cozy and relaxed and definitely dog friendly. Interesting architecture inside with lots of beautiful warm wood and spacious outdoors with splendid and far views. Definitely recommend!

We stayed in lower level (not basement). Hooks in bathroom for our robes would have been convenient. Also perhaps another bed side lamp? Got a chance to converse with Heather the owner whose passion trickles down to her hosts Chad and Jill and Chef Jimmy who prepared the best meal I've had in a long, LONG time.

Norma room

Room was comfortable but hard to identify but the room name was some 20 foot away! The lobby area and lounge were great for conversation with other guests. Jacuzzi and was so relaxing and the views wonderful . Unfortunately, at least 6 trains with horns blowing twice per, made restful sleeping difficult. Otherwise a great stay.

Talus Rock Retreat

This was an amazing place and one I'd recommend to anyone wanting to get away. Its situated on 18 acres. Outstanding and peaceful. We had an amazing private Chef's dinner and shared a couples massage. Caretaker's husband/wife team Chad and Jill were wonderful hosts! Very helpful, giving insight for places to see and eat in and around Sandpoint. Definitely worth a return stay!

Really beautiful house- read the story of how the family created and built the Retreat- so much care and thought into every detail. Husband and I were passing through between ski resorts, so we only stayed for one night, and because it's winter, we could not really explore the grounds. I am sure it's magical in the warmer months. (gorgeous kitchen, although no breakfast as it's low season)
