Stayed just one night at this lovely lodge on our way back home from a road trip Feels more like a big homey mansion where strangers are considered family. Very cozy and relaxed and definitely dog friendly. Interesting architecture inside with lots of beautiful warm wood and spacious outdoors with splendid and far views. Definitely recommend!

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!

20th Anniversary Trip

This was the first stop for my husband and I on our 20th anniversary weeklong trip. This place is absolutely gorgeous with the most beautiful scenery. It is exactly what we needed to start our trip. It was so incredibly relaxing and the staff was incredible. The house is stunning and the rooms are so cozy. The only recommendation I would offer is regarding breakfast. We were a bit surprised at the offerings at breakfast, especially since the home showcases a beautiful kitchen upon entering the front door. We expected something of the hot variety, yet there was yogurt, bread for toasting, hard boiled eggs and granola.

Not Luxury

Talus Rock is not a luxury retreat. Its a house converted into a hotel, and unlike a bnb the caretakers didn't care to check us in and introduce themselves, we just received an email with a code for the door. There was someone there the whole time, so it was like I was walking around someone's home that i never met. Awkward. When we got to our room, the air conditioning was blasting, but there was no way to turn it off. Since its a home, the rooms are not individually climate controlled. It was slightly warm that day but cooled off a lot at night and I was really cold and uncomfortable. I texted the number listed to receive help as instructed on a sign in the room but they refused to turn it off, suggesting I turn on a heater. I slept terribly because i was cold, and the noise from the ac was also annoying. It was not hot out at all so it was really frustrating and bizarre. There was also no breakfast, like one would receive at a luxury retreat, or a bnb at that price point. The only snacks and beverages were for purchase. I definitely don't recommended this place, absolutely not worth what we paid! The decor was nice but the service is horrible.

We stayed in lower level (not basement). Hooks in bathroom for our robes would have been convenient. Also perhaps another bed side lamp? Got a chance to converse with Heather the owner whose passion trickles down to her hosts Chad and Jill and Chef Jimmy who prepared the best meal I've had in a long, LONG time.
