Talus Rock Retreat

Everything was very nice at Talus Rock. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a great variety of quick and easy items to go or sit down and enjoy. We really enjoyed the gorgeous grounds and the inside is just beautiful. The bed was very comfortable, we asked for extra pillows and received them quickly. We also had a problem with our TV which staff was able to take care of. Definitely recommend this place for either staying and relaxing or as we were on the go most of our trip, it was such a lovely space to come "home" to.

My husband didn't like that you had to take your shoes off (I didn't mind), so maybe bring slip on shoes or slippers if you're going in and out. You are welcome to leave your shoes by the front door, so I didn't really see it as an issue. The hardwood floors are in pristine condition which is probably since everyone takes their shoes off!

The place is great and you feel like you’re at home. We’ve been traveling for more than two months and from the minute we arrived it was “ahhhh”. We checked in late but it was so easy…like we were set up with an entry pass code and it was seamless. Spent a bit of time with Heather (the owner) the next morning and she is an outstanding person. She and her husband collect from international travels and experiences and it’s a place where she shares those. Although she doesn’t “push” what she is doing from a philanthropic perspective, she is on a mission to make a difference in lives of others less fortunate. She is real. Wish we could have stayed a day or two more to explore the area….btw the restaurant Trinity down by the shore is superb as are the staff and owner (Justin)

Absolutely stunning grounds. The architecture of the home is fabulous. The staff gave us a tour of the grounds and the house. Very impressive. A little detail everywhere you look. The staff are wonderful people. We went to relax and unwind and that we did.

For the price we paid, I think the breakfast bar could have contained more homemade items, such as muffins, fresh bread, scones. A little more fresh fruit than bananas, apples and oranges. It was July when we visited and there are a lot more fresh fruits available. I found a dental floss pic in the chaise lounge, yuck. The windows were dirty and the shower heads were in desperate need of some CLR to remove the well water calcium build up. The jetted tub had not been fully cleaned, also yuck.

Very relaxing and I liked how they did breakfast where you could go get what you wanted and take it back to your room. Also a very quiet calm setting.

Just one small thing, the suite we were in had a large window that went into the bedroom and the sun came up at 5:30 vert bright and woke us up so I would suggest a blind or something for in the summer.

Beautiful peaceful house with tall ceilings, great woodwork and a wonderful accommodating helpful staff. Lovely piece of land with views and deer wandering through. Very close to everything in the area but feels rural. we didn’t get a chance to use all the amenities, but there are bikes and a hot tub too.

The walls are very thin and we could hear everything from the room next door. The pool area was run down but to the staff’s credit they addressed that right away when I spoke to them.

Beautiful Setting- Quiet and a true retreat. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive, the self- serve breakfast was more than adequate, with many choices. Rooms comfortable and spacious. Lodge- like atmosphere, but close to town for shopping and dining, and recreation options. We will definitely recommend, and plan to return!

Soundproofing could have been better- you could hear conversations in the other areas from your room.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The retreat was very comfortable and beautifully decorated plus the surrounding property was very serene. It was also conveniently located to downtown Sandpoint. A delicious breakfast was offered each morning plus access to beverages and snacks. The Inn also has a hot tub, sauna, pool and nature trail plus use of bicycles. It felt like home away from home.

Talus Rock Retreat is beautiful in every way. It is located in a quiet residential area on grounds that are landscaped to work with nature and enhance its beauty. The structure is elegant yet inviting to use and enjoy rather than admire from afar. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The experience feels like one is staying with good friends who want you to enjoy your time there. I would love to be able to spend more time there.

Nothing

Ambiance, friendly staff and absolutely beautiful setting. The Talus Retreat is really a hidden gem with so many high end furnishing and has a. casual feel. It is such a relaxing place and perfect to celebrate our anniversary. We also splurged and had 5-6 course meal prepared by Chef Arlo. Absolutely outstanding food, the best!!!

Nothing-it exceeded many times over our expectations.

Wow, this place is truly stunning! It felt more like we were staying in a private estate in another country. Staff was above and beyond!

Wish we could have stayed longer! So basically there was nothing we didn’t like.
