Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Loved this Lodge! Staff was friendly and easy to talk to. It was low season, before ski season starts, so we practically had the place to ourselves. On the porch or in the lobby by the fireplace is where we spent our evenings. Sunsets were amazing! Great rooms with small kitchenette, large porch comfy bed. Everything looked updated and kept up. Only complaint, which Lodge can't do anything about, is being a light sleeper, I could hear the traffic from the highway going across the bridge I mentioned to the gal at front desk and she offered me the ocilating fan from the office to use.. the white noise did the trick!!”
“We really enjoyed our 2 night stay. Had a King room on the lake level with direct walkout access to the beautiful sand beach. Live music from Forty One South next door made for a relaxing evening lakeside while the sun set. Room was very clean and everything worked as it should. Staff was friendly and helpful although we didn’t have many interactions as our stay was absent if any problems. There were several families staying with children as well. And yet we didn’t hear any noise. I was pretty impressed with the sound insulation in the rooms. We will definitely stay again.”
“On a recent motorcycle ride we ran over a nail and got a flat. We pulled into the Lodge at Sandpoint and the owners were kind enough to let us use their parking lot while we arranged for a repair/pick up (we had to leave the bike overnight). They were extremely kind and we are so grateful for their graciousness. While inside talking to the gal at the front desk I was able to see the deck over looking the lake - it was BEAUTIFUL. So, while we didn't stay at the lodge, the kindness extended to us was amazing and very appreciated. Excellent customer service. Thank you!”
“We enjoyed our two night weekend stay. Beautiful view of the lake. The room was spacious, comfortable, and well furnished. Great access to Sandpoint right over the bridge. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and appreciative of our stay. We will return.”
