This is a top-flight accommodation in the heart of Sandpoint. Size, layout, furnishings, design, lighting/heating/cooling/access controls are all top flight. Kitchen is well-designed, stocked with cooking necessities and ready to use. Laundry right in the unit. Gas fireplace for winter. The building housing the Lofts is also gorgeous, with elevator and stairs to the second floor. All Sandpoint shopping, bars and restaurants are immediately adjacent. The marina, beach and all recreational paths and trails are an easy walk. There was no nighttime noise during my stay (Oct/Nov). The apartment faces away from the street, with mountain & sunset views.

Skier/Boarder? Staying on the mountain at Schweitzer is convenient if you’re there for a few days. But if you’re staying for a week, everything you’ll want to do besides sliding downhill will be in the City of Sandpoint. Consider this alternative, then, if diverse after-hours choices matter to you. Here’s the logistics: Schweitzer Mountain’s “Red Barn” (location of the mountain shuttle) is a 10 minute drive from this location. The City of Sandpoint also has a bus that runs to the Red Barn during the season, during ski hours. The mountain shuttle itself is a 15 minute ride up/down.

The staff at the Lofts are absolutely first-rate and very knowledgable of the City and its attractions. I had a great experience with them, and with the apartment, during my stay and I therefore recommend it highly.
