OUR RETREATS

Barrel Retreat

Intimate Cabin with Barrel Sauna

Your Private Sanctuary

Step into the Barrel Retreat, where traditional Nordic wellness meets Pacific Northwest charm. The centerpiece of this intimate cabin is the authentic cedar barrel sauna—handcrafted from premium wood and designed for the ultimate relaxation experience.

Inside, you'll find carefully curated comforts: a cloud-like mattress dressed in luxury linens, a gourmet coffee station with premium beans, and a fully equipped kitchen for preparing meals. Your private outdoor hot tub awaits under the Idaho sky, perfect for stargazing after a sauna session. Located in downtown Sandpoint, adventure and relaxation are equally within reach.

"Great spot for our family to spend our holidays! Checking in was so easy and the house was very cozy. Our dog really enjoyed the backyard too. The house is very close to everything in Sandpoint and it was an easy drive up to Schweitzer. Definitely would stay here again."

"Great location and very responsive hosts! Emily and Greg allowed us to check in early on our day of arrival and were helpful and responsive when I had questions about the sauna. Walkable to downtown but still feels like a little retreat."
