3/5 - Okay
Upon check-in I told the clerk that I wanted to pay with cash, but he insisted that I provide him with a credit/debit card. This put a strain on my checking account. He wouldn't accept cash.

Staff and room were great

Horrible experience. No contact from host. Had to use VRBO customer service to get ahold of her. Ended up getting money back for the stay.

Incredible views of Schweitzer ski runs and overlooks the ski village, the Chateau is an amazing property that has to be experienced to appreciate! Highly recommend, loved our stay and already planning to get back next year!

Centralized location for hunting
Ponderay has all of the amenities that one would need while traveling. Full service town close to sand point and Schweitzer too. I even went to the movies.
Went there for a soccer tourney and it’s a lovely town!
Sandpoint was lovely to walk around the downtown and beach area. Didn't explore Ponderay, but appeared to be more spread out like a suburb.
Love that is close to Sandpoint
