Sandpoint locally crafted dining table and benches seats eight. 60 inch smart tv located in the small living room. The living room will seat five to six guests. High speed internet. Cozy fireplace powerful enough to heat the entire place but each room also has its own thermostat for individual comfort. Sleeps eight in four bedrooms (king, queen, twin bunks and king).

Skiing at Schweitzer
The Purple Condo is cozy and cute. The well-appointed kitchen made my chef roomies very happy. Great location to ski Schweitzer. The village shuttle only runs on weekends but can see the Gateway parking lot from the condo and can usually get a spot if arrive by 8:15. It's just a bit too far and hilly to walk in ski boots.Buffy was very responsive through the entire rental process and when we discovered a broken shower head and shovel on our first evening, she was there to replace both within 24 hours. Overall, we had a great experience!

Great location for ski trip
We stayed here with a group of friends for a ski trip. The rooms are definitely tight for 4 couples, but we knew that going in. The shuttle runs only on weekends and we learned from a neighbor that you can take a trail from the bottom of Parallel Rd to the resort. The cleaniness of the unit was not up to par - we communicated directly to the owner about things they can improve. The Purple Palace is quirky but was pretty much as expected.

Cute and cozy condo
Nicely decorated condo and fully stocked kitchen. We really appreciated individual temperature controls in each bedroom and the beds were comfortable. Great views of the mountain. As noted, all bedrooms are accessed via a narrow spiral staircase, which could be tough to navigate for some people and for any large suitcases. The living room is a little tight for more than 3-4 people, but was cozy for our family and the fireplace was nice. Hosts would not allow an early check in before 3pm without a $150 fee even though the unit hadn’t been rented for the three days prior but the check in process was easy. We had a nice stay!

Great little place
My wife booked the place, and it was great. We had a garage for our bikes, and just road them to and from the hill for riding as it was pretty close and convenient. The bathrooms are a bit cramped, and the spiral staircase was not the easiest to get the suitcases up and down, but it was clean and comfortable.

Perfect for our needs
We had 4 adults and 4 kids and it was perfect for our lake trip. I do suggest saving the loft for the most nimble adults, its a pretty steep ladder. It was clean, the beds and linens were so soft and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Great condo for a family or group. Kitchen was as well stocked as any we've stayed in making cooking easy. Plenty of space. Not ski in/ski out but a close walk to the village in regular shoes. Fireplace kept us warm in cold weather. Fun purple theme!

Cabin with character
Not what I expected...in a good way. The cabin/townhome had a ton of character and quirks. As one of the original builds on the mountain, it has some really unique qualities you don't find in other homes. Spiral staircase, attic bedroom, common area outdoor entrance, just a very unique property and stay. Location is unbelievable and the views are spectacular.

Ok for walking to village
Condo was in good location to walk to village, but size of condo for 4 adults and 3 children was a little small. With only one TV to entertain we were on top of each other and we ran out of hot water after just 2 showers. Big SUV will not fit in garage be prepared to shovel snow. Spiral staircase is a challenge with large ski bags

Long weekend get away.
Lovely property, well located on the mountain. Overall, the unit has a nice feel to it and has all the needed amenities. There were only two of us, and the living space was plenty adequate. The house offers comfortable sleeping for 6+ with two bathrooms with plenty of water pressure to scrub the dust off after romping around on the mountain all day. It has a well-stocked kitchen as far as dishes and utensils. Sitting on the side of the mountain, the house makes use of all four levels. The owner made it easy with some basic instructions and an overview of local resources listed in a binder. We had an enjoyable long weekend.

Comfy, warm and convenient, Plenty of room for 8 (4 adults and 4 children) 2 minute drive to the slopes. All you need to make meals and relax after a great ski day. Owner was very responsive to questions and quickly handled a minor issue while we were out skiing.
