Sunspot Lodge on Schweitzer Mountain

Sunspot is one of the largest private lodges on Schweitzer Mountain and features 5 suites, four sleeping lofts, a Peleton studio, 8 person hot tub with mountain views, 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 was fully redecorated and partially renovated in 2021 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 out on our patio, with views across the Schweitzer slopes and ridge.  
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.   We are close by to address any needs that may arise during your stay at Sunspot but will prioritize your privacy and offering you the best experience in the safest way possible.
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.  We expect this shuttle service to be fully operational for 2021-2022, but please confirm with Selkirk.  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 best VRBO we’ve ever rented
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.

Annual friends and family trip
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.

Amazing spot for our group
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!

Great Rental; Large, Comfortable
The property was great for our large group. Everyone was happy and very surprised at the level of detail this rental offers. Accommodates families with kids, there plenty of space for ski equipment, lots of living space in the bedrooms and the shared spaces. On the service route of the mountain shuttle, which was convenient, specially when dealing with a larger group. The host was easy to communicate with and was very helpful in providing information prior to the trip. I definitely will consider staying at this property when we return to Schweitzer!!

Review of Schweitzer Mountain Lodge
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.

Great spot on a great mountain.
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.
