Once upon a time, there stood an enchanted castle on a hill...

This true living stone castle presents three levels of otherworldly comforts with a blend of modern amenities and old-world features like hand-laid stones, statues, and curved staircases. The dramatic great hall boasts a vaulted ceiling, hydronic-heat floors of Idaho Quartzite, a cozy living area with a 50' wood-burning fireplace, a well-equipped, kitchenette with colorful stained glass windows, and a grand dining table ready for hearty banquets or memorable game nights. This home also includes a private hot tub room with breathtaking mountain views. Whether you're here for the ultimate ski-cation, a newlywed getaway, or a family adventure, let The Castle - Chateau De Melusine transport you and your guests into your world of fantasy. Hotel rooms are soon forgotten, and memories last a lifetime!

Sandpoint and the surrounding area are brimming with fun activities no matter the season! Ski the slopes of Schweitzer Mountain Resort in winter, or hike and mountain bike on the trails in summer. Just a mile north, grab a slice at Powder Hound Pizza or head down the hill into Sandpoint where you'll find Lake Pend Oreille access at City Beach Park, restaurants, brewpubs, museums, and great local shopping, all just 13 miles from your door.

    This was such a magical place to stay on our Christmas vacation!! It surpassed ALL expectations! I have yet to experience such uniqueness as well as exceptional quality… We came with our college age sons and they were blown away! The second night we had 6 inches of fresh snow…Chateau magnificence!!!

    A beautiful castle, authentic, charming, feels like you are in a real castle from yesteryear. Loved the dragon cake, which was such a nice gesture. Great views. Had such a wonderful time.

    We came for a girl's weekend and felt like princesses. House is amazing. The owner is equally amazing and ensured we had extra fun with the cake and flowers waiting for us on arrival. Make sure you read the book as there is an adventure waiting for you inside.

    We celebrated our daughter’s birthday here with a princess theme and it was an experience we will cherish for life! Very clean, well stocked with all the things we could need, incredible views and the dragon cake left by the host was the cherry on top! Excellent weekend :)

    As guests who have never been to Europe, or even outside North America, this was a super fun experience especially for an anniversary trip thats been a dream. Schweitzer, Sandpoint and Pend Dreille are absolutely gorgeous! Pack light, cause those stairs getting up to the main level are legit when carrying heavy suitcases and coolers. Also, we were pulling a side by side trailer and barely made it into the driveway cause it's a sharp and steep angle. Absolutely would stay here again or in the larger castle when it becomes available!

    Such a beautiful castle to stay in. Love all the antiques. Great location right above Schweitzer. Loved taking the chair lift up and seeing the magnificent view above. Really good communication with the owner and flowers and cute dragon cake for us. The only negative was a woodpecker on the roof early this a.m

    This home is one of a kind! The location is ideal. The views, especially from the hot tub, are stunning and the castle is truly magical. The construction and attention to detail make this place a gem! We will be back!

    The castle experience was worth the stay. It’s furnished with antiques, old artwork and arms that complement the castle really well. The dragon breathed for us too!

    This place was so much fun. The pictures don't do it justice. It was remarkably clean for such a large space. There are certain little things that just made it special like the written tour guide of the decor. The dragon cake and flowers were so nice. The host was fantastic. Thank you for a lovely stay!
