About this apartment rental

Cozy condo only 1/2 mile from Schweitzer village. Enjoy beautiful views of the slopes from two balconies and windows on each level. Four floors of living space includes lower level one car garage, ski storage and laundry room with heater; staircase in common corridor to second floor entry with living room, kitchen and dining, full bath with shower; spiral staircase to three third floor bedrooms and full bath with tub/shower; and mounted ladder to the cozy enclosed loft bedroom space on the top floor. Kitchen is remodeled with maple cabinetry and leathered granite counters. It is fully equipped with new stainless steel appliances, kitchenware and dishes, drip coffee maker (coffee, filters, sugar and creamer) small appliances (waffle iron, crockpot, etc) spices and basic staples to cook your meals. Sandpoint local artisan crafted dining table and benches to seat eight guests. 60 inch smart tv located in the small living room. The living room will seat five to six guests. High speed internet. Cozy thermostat controlled gas fireplace powerful enough to heat the entire place but each room also has its own electric heater thermostat for individual comfort. Sleeps eight in four bedrooms on two levels (king, queen, twin bunks and king loft). Refer to photos and photo captions for specifics on bed sizes and dimensions of rooms. New crisp white linens and very comfortable mattresses in each bedroom. Small one car garage can accommodate a small SUV or car. Plus parking for one additional car outside. Private high capacity Samsung washer and dryer (laundry soap provided) located adjacent to garage in the heated ski storage room. Lots of charm in this place as it was only the second condo property constructed on Schweitzer Mountain almost sixty years ago. This quirky historical condo building was completed in 1970 on the mountainside with four stories accessed via stairs, a spiral staircase and a mounted ladder.

Important: Please take the time to read and understand the condo description and view all photos and photo captions before booking. There are complete details and photos with room dimensions included in the listing. If anything is unclear, feel free to reach out prior to booking for clarification. We respond quickly during business hours and also check messages round the clock. This condo may not satisfy everyone’s needs and expectations. Specifically, if your group needs large spacious bedrooms and/or cannot navigate floor to floor using a spiral staircase or ladder, please do not book this historic quirky condo. If you need modern spacious style and newly built accommodations, we can refer you to one of our higher cost per night properties. This condo is the best value on the mountain for some of the following reasons… Great views of the slopes. Outstanding location close to Schweitzer village. Beds for eight guests. Low to moderate nightly rates. Flat off-street parking. Cleaned by professional housekeeping staff. Updated kitchen fully stocked for cooking and eating. Outstanding highly rated responsive management and staff. Etc. We would be happy to welcome your group with realistic expectations based on everything in our listing. Thank you for considering the quirky purple condo for your stay on Schweitzer mountain. It’s a staff favorite.

The Purple Condo is cozy and cute. The well-appointed kitchen made my chef roomies very happy. Great location to ski Schweitzer. The village shuttle only runs on weekends but can see the Gateway parking lot from the condo and can usually get a spot if arrive by 8:15. It's just a bit too far and hilly to walk in ski boots.Buffy was very responsive through the entire rental process and when we discovered a broken shower head and shovel on our first evening, she was there to replace both within 24 hours. Overall, we had a great experience!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Feb 2025
We stayed here with a group of friends for a ski trip. The rooms are definitely tight for 4 couples, but we knew that going in. The shuttle runs only on weekends and we learned from a neighbor that you can take a trail from the bottom of Parallel Rd to the resort. The cleaniness of the unit was not up to par - we communicated directly to the owner about things they can improve. The Purple Palace is quirky but was pretty much as expected.

Really enjoyed our stay. Place was perfect for family of 5.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2021
Condo was in good location to walk to village, but size of condo for 4 adults and 3 children was a little small. With only one TV to entertain we were on top of each other and we ran out of hot water after just 2 showers. Big SUV will not fit in garage be prepared to shovel snow. Spiral staircase is a challenge with large ski bags
