Regret Booking re: Previous Reviews Were A Red Flag
Experience Fantastic. Accommodations dirty and uncomfortable. Location is perfect for a weekend getaway. Unfortunately the cabin was extremely dirty. We camp outdoors during the summer so are used to dust and bugs. We did not expect multiple spiders. Yes, it’s the mountains but never had this experience with other Schweitzer rentals. The cabin is beautiful in general—only our group’s opinion that it needs a deep cleaning. Dusty logs throughout. Condensation discoloration on loft bathroom walls. Easily wiped off with a wet cloth (checked an area near the light switch.) We chose not to bring our dog. To our surprise, dog poo on patio with the barbecue — noticed immediately upon arrival because we were barbecuing for dinner. Another cleanliness issue. Everyone complained that the beds are miserably uncomfortable. Cannot have an adult on upper bunk. Sags with weak supports under upper bunk mattress. Didn’t use the hot tub. Received a call on our way that crew had emptied out and refilled water and chemicals. Didn’t heat up until Saturday evening. Bummer. Also contacted Vacasa prior to arrival about previous reviews about the heat (uncomfortably hot in loft and freezing in basement) and the lack of hot water for showers.) We were guided to spread showers out, which we did. Max 3-4 minutes of hot water before freezing. Frustrating for cold skiers. Two showers total over the weekend for 6 of us. Loft was miserably hot for sleeping. We were expecting heat comfortable throughout sinc

Solid Place
This is fairly nice place to stay. We liked the location, the amount of space and it was generally nice. However, we felt like price we paid was a bit premium for the lackluster service provided by vacasa. For example, we were only provided 2 dishwasher packs for 5 days and were told vacasa is not a hotel by their service and we had to buy our own. We also informed vacasa of a slow leak from the top shower down into the bunk room and they told us to simply put a towel in the bunk room before it could get fixed. Overall, we had a great experience at the mountain and will come back again but will try a different location.

Great stay with college age kids home for holidays
The house was perfect for our family and had a great view. The skiing was not great but we had a great time at the house playing games and using the hot tub.

Beautiful Cabin and experience
Overall we had a wonderful time. The only issue we had was finding the property itself, nothing on the road gave us a clear indication we were in the right place. Took us almost an hour to find the place. And we called for assistance we were not given clear instructions. But the Cabin was spacious and beautiful and exactly what my family needed for a peaceful getaway away from our fairly busy lives.

Beautiful views, clean, homey, very close to lift/market area, safe neighborhood, and great for bringing along four-legged kids, too.

Beautiful cabin
We were there for my daughter’s wedding. The cabin was beautiful. It has everything you would need. There was a lot of room and very comfortable. The best part was coffee every morning with the local deer! They walked up to the fire pit near the balcony and would stand there and stay while we had coffee and breakfast!

Schweitzer Cabin
Great space, great location, great views! Mostly figured out the fireplace situation from other guest reviews- would be helpful to include information about this during check in. Bit of a tight squeeze getting a car into the garage in the winter with the snow piled up, otherwise great experience!

Great location!
Had a great time staying at this cabin and the property managers were great to work with! The only thing is that there were several chipmunks that were in the cabin when we arrived. The property manager thought there was only 1 (turns out there were probably 3) and left a trap out for it that was much too big to catch it. They didn't really follow up on it, but it did provide some hilarious moments for us and will definitely be a fun memory to look back on!

Beautiful Ski Weekend Getaway
The log cabin is gorgeous with amazing views.. The hot tub overlooking Lake Pend Orielle was a welcome reprieve after a long day of skiing. The layout was perfect for family time and meals, as well as providing areas to do different activities. The location is perfect for taking walks and a very short walk or drive to the village. We will be planning another vacation here in the future.

Great property!
We stayed in November of 2021. It was so fun to be in the snow and literally wake up in the clouds. There were only two of us who stayed in the property, but it would've comfortably slept many more. It was nice to have a garage to park in since it snowed every day. I recommend an SUV with 4-wheel drive if you're visiting during the snowy months as the driveway is a bit steep. We had a Toyota 4 Runner and did just fine. Great property and would recommend!

This home was beautiful inside and out! Excellent views and a great location made our weekend wonderful! The owners left clear instructions for everything! 10 people stayed with me and everyone was had a blast. Some members took the opportunity to go mountain biking and we were able to spend some time on the water as well. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Sandpoint/Schweitzer area, this is it!

Ski Vacation
A beautiful home! We really enjoyed our stay. The home itself is very nice, with a nice view of the surroundings and Lake Pend Oreille. The road leading to the home and the driveway itself were plowed daily. There is a spce adjacent to the home that we used for sledding with the kids and making snowmen. It's just a short walk or drive to the village and the ski lifts. There was plenty of space for our group. Thank you for making this beautiful home available for our group.

One of the best
We've stayed at this rental before and we will again. It has every amenity we could want and is beautiful and spacious. We've stayed at numerous places at Schweitzer for over 15 years and this is at or very near the top of our list.
