Where you’ll be

Sandpoint, Idaho, United States

Neighborhood highlights

Sandpoint Sanctuary is ideally located at the base of Schweitzer Mountain, directly across from the Red Barn shuttle lot for free, easy access to the slopes. It’s a great spot for skiers who want to skip the mountain drive while staying close to everything Sandpoint has to offer.

The home sits on a scenic one-acre lot with mountain views and open space, yet it’s just 10 minutes from downtown Sandpoint, where you’ll find local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and seasonal events throughout the year.

Please note: train tracks run between the home and the shuttle lot, and train sounds may occasionally be heard. Sound machines are provided in every bedroom for guest comfort.

In winter, the area is lively with visitors heading to Schweitzer, while summer brings easy access to Lake Pend Oreille, hiking trails, boating, and North Idaho’s outdoor recreation. It’s an ideal location for guests seeking both adventure and convenience.
