Other Things to Note: Barrel retreat is located in a beautiful original craftsman home downtown Sandpoint. The house is set up as duplex with back to back units and was designed with comfort & privacy in mind. The second unit is located on the back side of the house with full separation and privacy. That being said you might hear other guests during your stay.
We strive to provide a five star experience for all who stay with us. Being a remodeled unit in an older home, you will enjoy a true North Idaho experience but if you're looking for a brand new modern home this is probably not the place for you . Sometimes ‘nature’ will find its way inside the home as well as on the porch. In winter your parking and access to the property will be plowed as well as access to Sauna and Hot tub but the backyard will not and outdoor dining & fire pit will not be accessible during snowy winter months.
If we as the owners find out that there are more than the number of guests permitted, we have the right to terminate your stay. No smoking or vaping allowed & no parties allowed or loud music after 7PM. $500 fine for violators.
Interaction with Guests: We will be happy to assist you to make sure you enjoy a 5 stars experience during your entire stay.

Great home to stay for a getaway! Hosts Greg and Emily were easily available via the sites communication portal. The space itself was exactly as advertised and even better in person. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here!
The Barrel Retreat was pleasantly clean and had every amenity available for a wonderful, relaxing stay. The bed/bedding was super comfy and provided a good night's sleep. The location is quiet with easy access to downtown, shopping and restaurants. The host checked in on us daily. We definitely recommend this gem!
Had a good stay for my anniversary, this house is in a quiet neighborhood with a cabin feel inside. It rained and snowed and this house made for a great relaxing getaway. Hosts are great with good communication!
Cozy and clean, just as described. Cool old house updated to modern trends. Enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and especially sauna. Locally made snacks and coffee were a nice touch. Easy walking to downtown shops and restaurants -- including several within a block. Great communication from host. Entire visit was smooth and easy.
This was the perfect place to stay. It was right in town, close to everything. From the time I booked until checkout, everything went smoothly. The hosts thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. It’s very clean & one of the most comfortable places I’ve ever stayed. I can’t wait to come back!
The Barrel Retreat is a great spot to stay in Sandpoint if you and is perfectly located whether you just want to hang out in town or you are going skiing at Schweitzer. We will be back!
What a great place! Nicely renovated old home with beautiful touches. Loved the welcome packet, coffee & pretzels, and the furniture was really comfortable as well as the bed. Soaking in the spa was a highlight, and drying off with the provided towels felt extra luxurious. Easy to get in and out of the place, and the location was perfect for walking downtown.
Stayed with my gf for a trip to schweitzer. The house was perfect for two, cozy, clean, and private with businesses on each side (the pizza place next door is great too). 25 minutes from the mountain, the sauna and hot tub were great for recovery after long days snowboarding. Will definitely be back soon
From start to finish, this house was absolutely perfect! It was spotless and clean. The backyard with the hot tub and sauna were dreamy, even in the winter! The hosts did not spare a single detail when it came to the design, decor, and the guides they prepared for their guests to reference for things to do, places to eat, etc. It was by far the best VRBO experience we have ever had. Thank you so much!
We loved our stay. Very clean and well appointed! Very close to downtown Sandpoint. Comfortable bed and we loved the sauna and hot tub. We would have preferred to have a few more blinds/curtains in some of the windows. It is easy to see in, especially from the pizza restaurant next door. The bathroom is not right off of the main bedroom, so you do have to walk by that window to get there.
