Norma room

Room was comfortable but hard to identify but the room name was some 20 foot away! The lobby area and lounge were great for conversation with other guests. Jacuzzi and was so relaxing and the views wonderful . Unfortunately, at least 6 trains with horns blowing twice per, made restful sleeping difficult. Otherwise a great stay.

Beautiful venue. The lodging is a modern Tuscan Villa crossed with Northwest Mountain Lodge. Very comfortable bed and large rooms with a view. The shared space is large and comfortable with couches and overstuffed chairs, a breakfast nook at the large view windows and large fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is well appointed. The outside deck has a luxurious hot tub that was greatly appreciated after a day of skiing. The large grounds include a pond and seasonal dipping pool. Just beautiful. You won’t want to leave.

Really beautiful house- read the story of how the family created and built the Retreat- so much care and thought into every detail. Husband and I were passing through between ski resorts, so we only stayed for one night, and because it's winter, we could not really explore the grounds. I am sure it's magical in the warmer months. (gorgeous kitchen, although no breakfast as it's low season)

Talus Rock Retreat

This was an amazing place and one I'd recommend to anyone wanting to get away. Its situated on 18 acres. Outstanding and peaceful. We had an amazing private Chef's dinner and shared a couples massage. Caretaker's husband/wife team Chad and Jill were wonderful hosts! Very helpful, giving insight for places to see and eat in and around Sandpoint. Definitely worth a return stay!

I fell on this property 10/9/24 evening down concrete steps onto parking lot because the light was off & was pitch black at side entrance to parking lot. I fractured both wrists, twisted shoulder/back & right arm bled badly & now scarred from hard fall to asphalt. Calls for help went unanswered. I reported incident to all staff next am & left to seek medical treatment. One staff member said they forgot to turn light on. They refuse to help me with insurance info telling me to file with mine. Wrists still in cast as of 11/11/24. Numerous attempts for assistance from them unanswered.
