I had never been to Sandpoint before and we wanted to have a quick get away to celebrate our…read morebirthdays. I wanted a unique experience a corporate hotel could not provide. Talus was eclectic, artistic and it felt like we were a guest in somebody's amazing house. It was a midweek stay. Maybe there was another couple there. We had the house to ourselves. That night we saw deer grazing out back and it snowed overnight. We woke up to a beautiful scene which included a few people ice skating on the frozen pond. We were in the Kipling suite which had a jet tub big enough for two people to swim is. It had a mini fridge, microwave, small coffee maker with coffee. A definite off the norm place to relax. On a side note, had an over the top dinner at 113 Main.

Hi Heather, Thank…read moreyou for taking the time to respond and engage with the feedback--it's clear you care deeply about the property. We hope that on a future visit, you might experience TRR from the perspective of a first-time guest--someone arriving with the hope of finding a peaceful retreat, but instead feeling somewhat like they've unexpectedly stepped into someone else's private space. While you see meaningful memories and personal touches, guests may interpret these items, photos, and instructions differently. The feeling of intrusion was heightened when the resident innkeeper prepared their own family's meal in the middle of the great room, making the shared space feel less like a guest retreat and more like someone else's home with lingering odors. There's so much to love about the property--the architecture and setting are truly stunning. With a bit of refreshing (particularly in terms of dusting all the bric-a-brac) and a shift in focus back toward creating a getaway experience, TRR could easily return to the high ratings it once enjoyed--as a place where guests can relax, reset, and grow.

When we arrived, not only was Steve there to show us to our spot, but several others currently staying. In the park were helpful in spotting some close calls and helping get us positioned just right in our spot. For our rig size, it was a close call and tight fit getting in, but once in our spot it was perfect. They got us in site 11 no problem. Is it an impersonal overly polished concrete and blacktop parking lot style RV Park with perfect level geometry/symmetry everywhere you look? No, but it was one of the best and most relaxing locations we've been so far. It's in the middle of a game preserve, so there are numerous deer routinely wandering around the area. Ahhh nature! As far as quiet goes, evenings were like a cemetery (in a good way). Just lots of peace and quiet to enjoy your surroundings. And the sunsets on the dock & beach! They are about as idyllic as you can get for lakefront property. We spent time swimming, kayaking, and just siting our on the dock enjoying the sunshine. I can speak for the internet/WiFi as we had great T-Mobile reception and so were only on our own hotspots the entire time. 60Mbit down / 8.9Mbit up. Perfectly suited to my purposes.

Gina & Michael who run this b&b made me feel welcomed instantly and helped make sure my stay was perfect for the entire duration of my 3-day visit. The rooms were beautifully decorated, and you are awoken with fresh coffee and breakfast each morning. Gina is an AMAZING chef - if you're lucky enough to try her homemade Huckleberry croissant French toast, you'll instantly add it to your list of best things ever eaten. The b&b sits on a couple acres and is very spacious - private outdoor seating, patio and there's even a bocci ball court in the backyard. Michael was gracious enough to let me beat him 3 games in a row! Nestled in the hillsides right next to Schweitzer mountain, the location is prime for all thinks happenings in Sandpoint. Gina and Michael gave some great suggestions on things to do around the town, in addition to tons of recommendations for food & bars. My stay was exactly what I needed and I can't wait to come back during ski season and stay again. Would recommend to anyone - thanks Gina & Michael!

As one person said, "It's a place where a handshake still means something," and that couldn't be more true. The genuine hospitality and sense of community made this stay one we'll always remember. The location is perfect, just a short drive to Silverwood Theme Park and Farragut State Park, yet it feels far from the busy destinations. There's a lot of interesting history in the area too, such as the nearby Navy Post. It's quiet, relaxing, and the perfect place to slow down and reconnect. We can't wait to come back!

It was just prior to Memorial Day weekend, so spring had sprung we had geese with babies parade through our yard and private beach. There were bald eagles and deer everywhere. We had one bald eagle that sat on a tree for hours almost every day. The natural beauty is unrivaled and the owner and his son were so helpful and friendly. We sat for hours outside just enjoying the natural beauty and wildlife. Farragut State Park is literally right next door to the resort, a must see. We loved it there so much that we would love to retire to the area. Thank you for an amazing stay and the most adorable cabin and private beach. Also, everything you could possibly need is in the cabin, including a wine opener so you don't have to bring one. Thank you for making our 25th wedding anniversary so magical!!!!

However, on my way to Ponderay, I was passing a SPOT transport station on 1st avenue near Kootenai Elementary school, when "on the dot" at 8:27am the SPOT bus pulled up and the driver Susan welcomed me to get wheels into town (a three mile walk). I gladly obliged and the driver and people getting a ride were all very nice and well-dressed for public transportation (I come from a big city where public transit is sketchy at best). We had a couple of stops but got downtown in around 15 minutes! Perfect for getting to a place to do work today. Highly recommend taking this transit and please donate money(there is a little container like public buses in cities), tell people about it, and spread the good feelings around.

The Schweitzer bus is $3 per person but like I said the Spot is free. We are always looking for transportation before we book a destination to travel to because we hate renting cars. Thanks to this bus we were able to stay in beautiful Sandpoint and get around hassle free. The drivers were always friendly, great mode of transportation for this town and I hope it's around for a long time!
