Met up with extended family for a ski trip at Schweitzer. There were lots of beds. The property was clean and as described. Very conveniently located, within walking distance of many great restaurants. We had a little trouble with checkout due to a mistake by one of our group (took the wrong keys) and Paula was patient with our small delay. Very satisfied with our choice in accommodation this year.

We had a great stay at Paula’s house. Very charming cottage vibes. It had plenty of room for our two families to stay together. The added garage retreat was really nice for our adult kids to have private space away from the younger kids. It was well equipped to cook meals and conveniently located around downtown and other great restaurants and coffee shops. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future. Paula was responsive to any of our needs and very accommodating.

This is our second time staying at Paula's, and others in my extended family have also rented Paula's home on various occasions. It is very comfortable for families with children, with many sleeping options, a great selection of books and games, and nice back yard with sun and shade. The home is well maintained, cozy, and conveniently located. The bikes are a great bonus and make getting around town in summer a breeze.

The PERFECT location and amenities for a family getaway. Walk a few shady, tree-lined blocks to good restaurants or continue a couple more to the marina, shopping and more places to eat and drink in downtown Sandpoint. The bikes are enough to get a crew of people around the flat, wide streets of the neighborhood and to tour the area around town. A/C was nice to have and we enjoyed sitting out back and using the BBQ. Rockers on the front porch for reading and waving to friendly neighbors completes the picture.

I have ALWAYS wanted to live in a vintage cottage and this sweet cottage makes my heart sing! I love that it is so conveniently located close to town, just one block to a large health food grocery store. When I am there I park the car and bike or walk EVERYWHERE! I love to sit on the front porch with a cool drink and some good friends or BBQ in the backyard with the whole family. It
