Sandpoint, Idaho
It’s finally dumping at Schweitzer! There are plenty of days in January and early February available. We have dropped the minimum night stay for those dates to a two night minimum. Don’t forget that you get access to 4 complimentary ski passes for every day of your stay (do the math on that one!). Are you ready to experience THE EXPERIENCE Learn why we have so many repeat guests, year after year.
If you are looking for the best ski in/out on the mountain, you have found it. If you’re looking at other homes claiming ski in/out, make sure to ask if you can truly ski to and from the home on a groomed run without crossing streets, parking lots, neighborhoods, or taking small, unmarked trails (read other’s reviews about location - many complain about hiking to a trail or crossing streets multiple times). VERY few homes at Schweitzer are TRULY ski in/out. The heated garage/locker room at Chutes Chateau is just a few dry, level steps from the groomed run and the location allows you to ski in/out for night skiing as well.
On top of the best location for ski in/out at Schweitzer we also provide lift passes for your stay. Up to *** 4 complimentary passes *** are available for every day of your stay. This is almost a $550/day savings compared to purchasing adult lift tickets at the ticket window.
Would you rather spend time with your family skiing and enjoying all Schweitzer has to offer or running down the mountain for groceries There is no grocery delivery to Schweitzer so we created it, and exclusively for our guests. Do you want dinner reservations or spa reservations made in advance of your trip Are you new to Schweitzer and want a quick guided tour We offer that too, just ask.
Chutes Chateau is a stand alone home in the Mountainside Community directly above Schweitzer Village. Arrive to a heated street and heated driveway and a TRUE ski in/out location that doesn't involve traveling down to the new Creekside Express lift/parking area (lines are LONG on weekends) or walking/crossing ANY streets. Walk 3 steps out of the garage, strap in, and you're on a groomed trail and end up at the two main high speed lifts in the heart of the village. From the mountain, you can ski directly back to the garage via a groomed ski run, no crazy trails to follow, and you end up right back home. Chutes Chateau sets the bar for the term "ski in, ski out,” yet is still just a short trail walk to the Village for dinner and drinks.
Chutes Chateau is 3 levels with the main/middle level containing the fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, powder room, and outdoor deck with a gas fireplace & gas grill to relax at the end of the day. There is also the garage - setup as a heated ski locker/gear room with a commercial grade boot/glove dryer, fans, and a dehumidifier to make sure your gear is warm and dry after lunch or for the next day. Upstairs is for the big kids with 3 bedrooms, including the enormous Master Suite (king), en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub and a Dyson Airwrap hair dryer so you don’t need to bring yours. The Master Suite overlooks Lake Pend Oreille and comes with breathtaking sunrises (see photos - these are actual sunrise/sunset photos from the master bedroom). Also upstairs are another 2 bedrooms, both with queen beds and views of the mountain, plus another full bathroom as well as the laundry - an oversized washer/dryer fully stocked with supplies. The lower level is for all ages with a family room complete with a queen pull out sofa bed and attached double bunk room. There is also another full bathroom and a theater room to relax and take in a game, show, or movie. The lower level deck is where you will find the hot tub with the water changed out between guests, a heated walkway to the hot tub, and oh - the view from the hot tub will leave you speechless.
What else sets Chutes Chateau apart from the rest Beyond arguably the best ski/in out on the mountain, Chutes Chateau is setup with the latest smart features, including a whole home SONOS sound system, a whole home steam humidification system to eliminate the static and breathing issues that happen in nearly all other ski resort/alpine homes. How about an automatic backup generator in case of a power outage - we’ve got that too, it even powers the hot tub if the power is out! Multiple smart TVs with YouTube TV (with NFL Sunday Ticket included), Netflix, and Disney+ included and the ability to log into your own accounts for other services if you'd like. Smart Phone Chargers setup in every bedroom giving you the ability to wirelessly charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Have you ever run out of hot water for showers with a big group We had too so we installed a tankless water heater system with a backup heater so you don't need to worry about cold showers. Complimentary locally roasted, fresh ground coffee (or whole bean, your choice) and fine wine will greet you in the kitchen upon your arrival. Also included in the kitchen pantry is a variety of organic soups, hot chocolate and popcorn for the kids, as well as a few other complimentary items. We care about your safety on the Mountain as well, we provide each guest with a whistle to add to your ski jacket (you keep it) as well as use of our RECCO tags during your stay.
Last, but certainly not least, you have hosts who are locals. You won't be dealing with an 800 number to a call center who knows where. If you have questions we are always available and are often at the mountain ourselves.

If you love to ski and love, great views, this is the house for you. House had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Everything was in great shape, and has some of the best access on the mountain. The garage is completely set up for getting ready to ski , and even has a industrial boot/glove dryer. Will stay here again.
Such a special spot! Thank you.
We had grandparents to teens, 10 in total, staying together. This home provided privacy and space for everyone and we all enjoyed being walking distance to all hill eateries. A number of us hiked up Schweitzer and it was a fantastic challenging short hike. The home is also beautifully appointed from the coffee maker to the hot tub! Highly recommended and would return in a heartbeat.
It was perfect! Great view! Ski in ski out. Close to village. Garage is set up perfect for getting ready for the day. Boot and glove dryer. Media room was fantastic. Hot tub was a big plus. Thanks Jack.
We had 10 in our family ranging from four months to 70 years old. The house was in a great location for ski in ski out. It was very comfortable. We utilized all rooms as well as the outside decks which have a fire pit and a hot tub. The owners were very helpful and very accommodating. The views were amazing and the skiing was great.
This house has everything you want if you a serious about skiing and having every convenience. The garage is equipped with boot dryers, hangers, everything you need. Then you can ski and ski out with ease, or take a quick walk to the village for dinners. We had our 5 kids with us, ages 13, 11, 5, 3, and 2. The house was equipped with things for all of them to keep busy if they weren't skiing. Jack provided excellent communication and extra intel on where to ski and things to watch for. Highly recommend the house to anyone with a family or group.
Enjoyed the whole experience
WOW! WOW!!!!! What a great property! The location was perfect and so was the house. We had a great Christmas week and the little Christmas tree was a great bonus. The Owners have thought of everything needed and they didn't disappoint my family. The Garage was the perfect ski-in/ski-out setup and was even heated with boot & glove dryers.Thanks for everything Jack. Aloha, Todd
The house was everything you'd hope when renting a luxury home. The view is lovely. The pictures online of the outside of the house might give the impression of a tight fit, but there was plenty of space for our extended family. We were able to comfortably gather on the main level. Having three different levels also gave the adults privacy and quiet from the littles in the morning and late at night. The bed mattresses were great. Other furnishings were very nice and comfortable. The hot tub overlooking Lake Pend Orielle was thoroughly enjoyed. We appreciated how well-stocked the unit was. Coffee, extra detergent, batteries, a toolbox in the garage. It was nice not to have to make extra trips to the store. Accessing the unit was a breeze, no formal check-in required. We used the keys provided to access the Schweitzer Lodge pool and workout facilities within walking distance. There are loads of wild huckleberry bushes growing along the road up the mountain. Picking huckleberries was a fun treat for our grandchildren.
The house was really great. It was well appointed with very nice appliances, furniture, and bedding. The cleaning crew did an awesome job as it was spotless. The location is great - 25 min to Sandpoint and a few blocks to the main resort area at Schweitzer. Jack was very responsive and answered all our questions. Flawless stay!
