Guest Interaction We’ll give you plenty of space to enjoy Magpie Manor, but we're just a message or phone call away if you need anything. Whether it’s help with the hot tub, local tips, or something unexpected, we’re happy to assist before, during, or after your stay.
The Neighborhood Magpie Manor sits at the base of Schweitzer Mountain on Granite View Drive, a quiet gravel road that winds through North Idaho’s rugged beauty. You’ll enjoy sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille and the Cabinet Mountains right from the deck—especially magical at sunrise or after a snowfall.
In the winter, the final 0.4 miles up Granite Ridge Road can get icy, so AWD or 4WD vehicles are strongly recommended for safe access.
Guest Access Guests have full access to the entire home, outdoor spaces, and hot tub—everything you see in the listing is yours to enjoy, except the garage, which is reserved for owner storage.
Tucked into the hillside just outside Sandpoint, Magpie Manor is made for memory-making. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars or watching the kids battle it out on the Pac-Man arcade, this home blends comfort, space, and scenic views into one unforgettable retreat.

Absolutely stunning and spotless property. Everything went smooth from check in to check out. Accurate listing and communication from the host as well.
Property was beautiful and well maintained and stocked. My contact was 10/10 on customer service. Would absolutely stay here again. This was my very first vrbo experience and it was very positive!
Incredible views! The hot tub was wonderful and the host was readily available and quick to respond.We did struggle with hearing the trains at night, so sleep was difficult. But obviously that's not something that can be changed, just to be aware of for light sleepers.Overall, this is such a great location and beautiful home. We would stay here again!
Great location for skiing at Schweitzer and bouncing into Sandpoint. Train noise is a thing, but you get used to it, and it adds to the outdoor ambiance. Home was great. Space to hang out and play games. Rooms were cute and cozy, and the kitchen was open for cooking together. Loved the hot tub, especially after a day on the slopes. Would definitely stay here again.
This property was adorable. You can hear trains every 20-30 minutes but it gave it character. The beds were very comfortable. The evenings on the deck were amazing. Great views, hot tub was a hit! Josh was amazing when it came to communicating. Our family had a great time!
