About this house rental

Skiing? Mountain biking? Hiking? Boating? Book your all season's adventure now at the centrally located Ponderay Cottage. Brand new 4-bedroom home with private apartment above detached garage. Great space for large families and friends traveling together. Outdoor grill, AC, fireplaces and much more! Only 10 miles from world renowned Schweitzer Mountain Resort and 10 minutes from downtown Sandpoint.
The space
The Ponderay Cottage is your home away from home. Designed with all the comforts of everyday living for all to enjoy while exploring everything Sandpoint has to offer. If you desire epic powder ski days or lounging on the lake on a hot summer's day, we have you covered!

Schweitzer Moutain Ski Resort is the premier ski destination in the Pacific Northwest, and it is an easy 25-minute drive (10 miles) from Ponderay Cottage. If you don't feel like driving to the mountain, there is a free ski shuttle service located 5 minutes away that will take you straight to the mountain.

Need something to do when the snow melts but you still want to enjoy Schweitzer? Schweitzer transforms itself into a mountain biking paradise with over 40 miles of trails for all levels. If biking isn't your thing, there are plenty of marked hiking trails and huckleberries along the way.

Planning a summer lake vacation? Downtown Sandpoint is THE quintessential lake town that has it all: delicious food, boutique shopping, a few dive bars and the BEST local ice cream on the main strip. Enjoy direct beach access and a large city park as you get ready to explore beautiful Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho's longest lake at 43 miles long.

Whether you just want to lounge in the summer sun or spin 360s behind a wake surf boat, the choice is yours. Lake rentals (boat, kayaks, paddleboards, etc.) are available for rent in downtown Sandpoint.

    Great place, great location, and great parking if you have a boat. Oh, and the neighbor is VERY nice.

    This is an amazing property. The house is large enough for an entire family. It is equiped with everything you need and the host responds promptly and is very accomodating. You won't find a better location to stay here. There is plenty of parking and a quiet park across the street. It has a rural feel to it but is only 2 blocks from Home Depot and 3 blocks from Walmart. Many restaurants and stores nearby and a short drive to downtown Sandpoint/City Beach Park. We will definitely stay here again.

    We loved this home near Sandpoint. Great home base for our extended family to visit Sandpoint and Silverwood. The home was super clean, spacious, and well appointed with everything we could have wanted. Would definitely recommend!

    Beautiful place to stay close to all of the action, however very quiet and just across the street from a park for the kids to play at. We appreciated all of the amenities, and the apartment over the garage so my mother could be somewhat removed from the action. Would stay there again!
    10.0 / 10.0
    Such a great house. We really loved having the apartment over the garage for extra space for family to make themselves at home. The house had so many nice touches from lots of towels to a great kitchen set up. We felt right at home and only wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend this property and host!

    We stayed for my son's wedding and this home away from home was amazing. It was clean, well furnished, plenty of room, and let us bring the dogs (they were actually in the wedding!) My family stayed in the house and the apartment above the garage was perfect for friends that came for the wedding. The wedding was in Sagle and the drive from this location was a straight shot and very convenient. The communication was easy and responses were fast. This place was GREAT!
