Sandpoint

Four-season mountain town on Lake Pend Oreille.

About Sandpoint

Sandpoint sits where Lake Pend Oreille meets the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains, with Schweitzer's ski runs above town and a walkable downtown of local shops, restaurants, and galleries. Housing runs from in-town cottages and historic homes to lakefront, acreage, and cabins up the mountain.

  • City Beach
  • Arts scene

Our take

Ski in the winter, ski in the summer, enjoy downtown all year round. One of the best hidden secrets and it doesn’t take long to realize why when you visit.
