Bright Mountain Stay

We stayed here with one other family during the spring time for a youth sporting event. It’s a great floor plan and layout for multiple families, although sounds do easily travel so be prepared to be on similar schedules for evenings and mornings. Our two well behaved dogs joined us too and the house and yard worked great for them too. The house is in a wooded area just outside of town, so it’s an easy drive to fields, shops, restaurants. The house orientation lets in a lot of natural light, it’s really lovely! Be prepared for very early bright light coming into the windows in the morning with the east facing bedrooms (2 out of the 3). Also, the traintracks are VERY close and at least a dozen trains pass by each day and night, so be prepared for that noise. It’s really a simply but very practical home. The upstairs game area is great for kids and teens. The hot tub is nice, but somewhat tricky to get in and out of. The exterior entry stairs and deck could use some updates as they are a bit steep and dilapidated, but they are still functional. Lastly, there’s a lovely stray cat that likes to come and say “hi”. We’re animal lovers, so we enjoyed her visits! We would stay here again.

I think the host was very welcoming. She was very responsive. The location is perfect to get to Schweitzer.

Check in was smooth. Good kitchen facilities with plenty of cookware, dishes and eating utensils.

The place was well stocked with cooking supplies, towels and bedding. The location was amazing, very close to Schweitzer, which we drove to every day and very close to downtown Sandpoint. Hot tub was perfect temperature. Initially worried about the train tracks being across the road but honestly, they weren’t that loud or frequent….Would definitely rent this place again!
