3 generations in one house and it was FABULOUS! This house is so comfortable while offering plenty of family space and private space. Cannot describe how beautiful it is.

We rented this place for a ski trip to Schweitzer mountain. The location was very convenient to get on and off the mountain. There was plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed group meals, relaxing in the jacuzzi and apres-ski around the fireplace. We were blessed with fresh powder which made navigating the steep driveway a bit of a challenge but hosts Lou and Gene were very helpful. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

Terrific property for family and friends. Ski in and out (ask for directions on skiing back from the top chair). Well equipped kitchen, regular beds for 14, plus additional space on couches. We were 7 total, so space was ample. Lou was very attentive. Driveway was slippery, so one car opted to park in the spots along the road and walk up. Easy to do. Hot tub was nice and clean. Ample towels. Overall, a great stay and easy to cook and entertain.

Our group of 14 fit comfortably in the house and enjoyed the ease of skiing into the village along with skiing back to the house. Kitchen was well equipped to cook for our entire group and Lou was so helpful.

Hands down nicest couple we’ve ever met. They are very accommodating and welcoming. Cabin is so spacious for larger groups. This is our second year back as there isn’t much comparable to this place.

Very comfortable and large house. It is ski-in/ski-in, but not convenient to the village itself in foot. Great place overall.

The house is very spacious, there was plenty of space for our large family (9 adults, 9 kids). We loved everything about the house! The ski in -ski out access was magical, but a little tricky. Since we had 5 small children 6 and under, parents needed to drive them to the lift. The older children (ages 7, 8, 11, 12) and adults were able to do the ski access to lifts. The host, Lou, was very helpful and accommodating. We had a fabulous stay!

It was the perfect place with the perfect host for a week at Schweitzer. Timing was right for fresh snow and cool temps. Ski-in ski-out was accessible even for the young ones. The large open living room is fantastic for family games in the evening, and all that with a view!
Care is required on the driveway; four wheel drive is recommended, otherwise, there is some parking is available on the street below.
Lou is a gem of a host and we are already planning for next year :)

Property suited our needs. Ski in and ski out difficult for newbie’s but access to parking by lifts was easy. Driveway is an issue when snow covered. Overall we had a fabulous family trip.

The house has a ton of space (and an even larger amount of couches), so the layout that is shown in the photos may not be how it looks for your stay. The owners live downstairs, which can be extremely nice if its snowing (or raining) and the driveway becomes treacherous. Ski-in/Ski-out would be very feasible in normal seasons, was a little dicey for us due to the incredibly low snow year Idaho was having.

The house is comfortable for large groups of people. The kitchen is well equipped but some maintenance is needed. There is plenty of seating and the hosts keep you well stocked with firewood. The hot tub is nice & clear.
Be sure you have 4 wheel drive and snow tires to get up the driveway. You will definitely slide into the street if there is snow on the ground.
It’s a short walk to the slope & you can ski right to the door.
There are several unfinished projects - a bidet in the master bathroom, wires sticking out of several walls. Overall however it’s a good pick for a ski trip.

Lou is a pleasure to work with. Communication is easy and she gets back to you in a timely manner. Check in was easy and we were greeted by the owners upon arrival. The house is huge and fit 14 adults comfortably. Great location for ski in/out!
Yes, the driveway is very slippery. You will need 4 wheel drive. The only two down falls were the microwave was broken and the hot tub was pretty murky. I’ve passed this house on to a few others looking for places to stay at Schweitzer that will accommodate a large group. This is it!

Overall pretty good, beautiful view. Owners were pleasant, they work hard on making stay comfortable and they stay in basement. Bring own condiments, coffee filters, cooking spray. Master bath shower and sink and lights above didn't work,
but I know they are working on completing remodel . Make sure to open draft when start a fire or house will fill up with smoke😳 Ski in/out is not easy to access but is possible.

Our group has been doing an annual ski trip for more than 25 years now and this stay has been ranked #1 by far. A true skier's ski house with everything you need for a great ski vacation. I can't say enough about this home, its location and our hosts, Lou and Gene. From the moment we arrived on the mountain Lou was there to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We arrived at a spotless, well kept house with a fire roaring, incredible views, well stocked kitchen and laundry facilities, an abundance of towels, paper goods and bedding. This is a very spacious and comfortable, true ski-in, ski-out home; out the back of the house and literally ski right back to the covered hot tub and ski storage area/entrance. The hosts (the home owners) do live on site and are very respectful of your privacy. They were exceptionally attentive to making sure our stay was great, walkways were shoveled, hot tub maintained, firewood conveniently available, etc., etc.. If we needed anything they were right there to help or answer our questions. This is not your typical “company managed property”. If you are looking for a great ski-in ski-out, book this property! Thanks for making our stay a great experience!

We came to Schweitzer to ski and couldn't be happier with this house. The property was well stocked and felt "lived in" with plenty of character. A few of the appliances etc. were a bit quirky, but nothing that got in the way of our fun. The views of the lake from the living room and hot tub are amazing, and our group enjoyed waking up to piles of snow every morning outside our windows.
The ski in / ski out factor was a lot better than we expected - you take a few steps from the back of the house to a cat track that meanders to the main village. On the way home, you can take a cat track back - or even better, take a fun gladed run through the trees. We were fortunate to have a great week of snow and looked forward to exploring new routes through the woods on our way back to the house for lunch or at the end of the day. Really easy once you do it once and the cat track was also a nice snowshoeing path (a few pairs at the house).
As others have noted, the driveway is no joke -- plan for 4WD and/or chains if it's snowing, though Lou was great about getting it plowed. Lou was also fantastic to deal with as a host and super responsive to all of our other questions and needs.
There are 2 br and 1ba on the first floor (off the living room) and 3 br + loft and 2ba (1 ensuite) on the second floor. The bunk room has a full/twin bunk + another twin bed (3 beds in total) which wasn't super clear from the photos. There's also a 3 season porch which we used as an overflow refrigerator. Overall the place showed better than the photos and was very comfortable. We hope to come back some day!

Lou is an exceptional host for her unique vacation property. Most highly recommend. We had 14 in our group with age ranges from 8 to 65+. There was plenty of room and privacy for all. Not ADA friendly, but easily navigated by kids and seniors.
