3/5 - Okay
Upon check-in I told the clerk that I wanted to pay with cash, but he insisted that I provide him with a credit/debit card. This put a strain on my checking account. He wouldn't accept cash.






Clean room. Good hot tub.

Horrible experience. No contact from host. Had to use VRBO customer service to get ahold of her. Ended up getting money back for the stay.

This was such a magical place to stay on our Christmas vacation!! It surpassed ALL expectations! I have yet to experience such uniqueness as well as exceptional quality… We came with our college age sons and they were blown away! The second night we had 6 inches of fresh snow…Chateau ...

Centralized location for hunting
Ponderay has all of the amenities that one would need while traveling. Full service town close to sand point and Schweitzer too. I even went to the movies.
Went there for a soccer tourney and it’s a lovely town!
Sandpoint was lovely to walk around the downtown and beach area. Didn't explore Ponderay, but appeared to be more spread out like a suburb.
Love that is close to Sandpoint
