Silverwood is a ton of fun with not only 4 roller coasters, but a ton of other rides that cater to all ages, and...the other half of Silverwood is a water park as well. This is a great place to visit in the summer! #Architecture #TroveOn

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.

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.

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!
