My husband and I chose to celebrate our 30th anniversary at Talus this March. Communication pre-stay was top-notch, we ordered extra's to include couple's massage, private chef dinner &... read more breakfast in bed. We were greeted outdoors by cute little dogs & inside staff with "Welcome Home" upon our arrival, what an amazing custom front door. We stayed in the Grand Arbor room and it was very nice & quiet, the bed was very comfortable, the custom 2 head rain shower was unique and beautiful. We had everything we needed in the room including coffee, wine glasses and even some chocolate kisses. The view overlooked the backyard with the natural ponds & pools, although it was all ice & snow covered it was still beautiful, I can only imagine the beauty in the summer. The massage was great, although 1 masseuse had their car break down, but the 1 that was there was able to accommodate us perfectly. Now, the dinner was the highlight of our stay! Chef Chris Arlo & his assistant (sorry don't remember her name) not only prepared our custom 7 course dinner in this interactive experience, but they entertained us with many stories. The only improvement that I could recommend is that we missed the entrance sign at the driveway and then maybe have another sign where to park, I know there was lots of snow, so maybe they were just buried. The other thing I wanted to mention is that although wine was included in our dinner, they don't have any other alcohol there for purchase, so bring your own. This was an experience we'll remember for our lifetime and will be sure to come back to enjoy again.
We stayed in the Syringa suite and loved the private access to the hot tub! What a nice treat after a terrific day of skiing at Schweitzer. The bathroom has... read more radiant heated floors, which is so pleasant in the winter! The caretakers were extremely pleasant and happy to engage at whatever level we wanted. The resort has an honor system for beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks. We grabbed a couple of beers and talked with the caretakers about the history of the resort and property while we sat in front of the large fireplace. We'll definitely return again this winter.
The property is so lovely, and the staff make you feel at home. Breathe in the fresh air
sitting by the pond, take a long walk, then take... read more advantage of the 7 course meal with your private chef. The dinner is fun, the chef is very entertaining, and the all food is delicious! Finish the evening by sitting by the fire pit. I can't say enough about my experience and can't wait to return.
We stayed for 3 nights in the syringa suite and enjoyed our stay at Talus. The house itself is amazing, and the grounds are not far behind. We... read more spent a lot of time in town and day tripping (Schweitzer Mtn, Silverwood Park) but enjoyed the time we got to hang out on the property. The property is located very convenient to town. Very helpful and respectful staff, would go again!
I can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Talus Rock. The staff were so friendly and accomidating. I felt like they were friends by the time... read more we left. This was a surprise for my husband, and they were part of it. We both had massages from Petra- the best. Seven course meal prepared right with us by renowned Chef Chris Arlo. His stories were as fun as the food was absolutely fabulous. Frank Sinatra singing softly in the background. We stayed in the Arbor Room. Don't miss this lovely unique room. Walk the grounds, swim in the pool. Experience this magical place.
Unfortunately we were only able to stay at Talus Rock Retreat for an overnight
On our way to explore the Canadian Rockies. This property is so cool. I... read more highly recommend that you stay here when visiting the Sandpoint area. We stayed in the Kipling room. The staff are friendly, kind, professional, I could go on and on. They added so much to our stay by making us feel genuinely at Home. Enjoy.
We just returned from a visit to Sandpoint and a stay at the wonderful Talus Rock Retreat. What a piece of paradise hiding away just minutes from downtown. I so... read more wish we could have stayed more than three days, however, we will be back. There are so many things to love about staying here. One highlight worth mentioning is the Private Chef Service. Chris will entertain while serving up a feast. Just show up hungry and then plan go for a long walk afterwards around the beautiful Talus Rock property. See you again!!
I have to say this has been the best B&B’s I have encountered on this side of the country! I came here on a solo reprieve/rest/retreat from the everyday... read more stressors of my little life. (Long story). The atmosphere, the rooms (I peeked into lol the empty rooms as I was mid week and near off season) are exceptional! This appears to have been a family home that is now turned into a B&B (I haven’t researched I order to give a heartfelt disclosure.) The space, the grounds, the staff are all exceptional! I have had add on features (massage x2 plus a rose bath I haven’t enjoyed yet but am so excited for!!) The people here are open, friendly, honest and real. They are genuinely interested in who they meet in this space which also is heartwarming. There is an infrared sauna for use. Big soaker tubs in most rooms with the exception I understand of a ground floor suite to accommodate alternately abled peoples. (I do need to check that for accuracy) I am here at the beginning of off season and would’ve hoped for a cooked breakfast, however I was not completely disappointed with the self serve options available. The nutrition needs for mystic (which sadly are many) were accommodated for and I was happy with the outcome and fueled for the enjoyment of my time here. I highly recommend this B&B and will do so!!

I love this place and the staff and the doggos! We will be back. It was magical and peaceful and full of supportive and spot on suggestions for dinner and... read more things to do. We also splurged and got chocolate covered strawberries and massages, all very last minute that the staff was happy to support us with. We're very happy about our stay!
The owner and staff of this hidden property are so nice warm loving welcoming people that it doesn't even matter that the rooms cost what they do lol I... read more love this place we are on a limited income but we find a way to make this trip as a priority at least once a year my wife and I could just live there we love it soo much if we had the money we would stay a whole week there's just so much to see there and I saw a corral for horses I think the horses show up in the summer they have deer there on their walking trails soo sweet they even serve breakfast and coffee and they will go out of there way to help you start a fire but it's better to be prepared because at times they do get busy everyone deserves to go there at least once no joke
We spent 3 nights in the Kipling room and my parents spent 1 night in the Arbor room. The beds were incredibly comfortable and each had it's own little efficiency... read more kitchen, which was really helpful since we are on a 25 day roadtrip traveling with our dog. The best part, though, is the kindness of the owners and team that welcomes you and ensures you have a wonderful, peaceful stay. We also enjoyed the other guests who we got to know a bit on our last morning.
Typically we stay in boutique hotels or vacation rentals and this was our 2nd experience at a B&B. It was a lovely change! Breakfast was delicious each morning and we felt so welcome and cared for.
The house was gorgeous and very unique. So much love and thought has gone into every detail. We will 100% be back!
Sandpoint itself if super charming and Schweitzer mountain really fun with great tree runs!
I'd leave 6 stars if I could!

Arrived in the afternoon. Was greeted by a lovely bunch of people and showed around the beautiful property! Booked the “Nooma” aka the whole downstairs level. Had a wonderful night... read more with friends and family. And was helped with all questions and concerns very promptly! Couldn’t ask for more. It’s a must stay If you are coming through the small town Sandpoint Idaho!
Coming to the retreat, one of the things I immediately liked was that it was tucked away within the trees, making it private and peaceful. The place was huge and... read more beautifully built giving it a unique feel. I stayed in the Selkirk room, which was incredibly nice! I liked that the room felt spacious and there was even a cute loft to hang out in! The staff was so nice, thoughtful, and helpful with whatever I needed! I will definitely be coming back!! Highly recommend to anyone!
