Winter Stays​

Chutes Chateau sets a new standard for the term "ski in, ski out" with its enviable location in the Mountainside Community, perched directly above Schweitzer Village. This stand-alone luxury home allows guests to experience true mountain convenience—arrive to a heated street and driveway, and step just three paces from the garage to the trail. Here, there’s no need to navigate to distant lifts or cross streets; simply strap in, and you’re gliding down to the resort’s two main high-speed lifts, right in the heart of the village. The return is equally seamless—ski directly back to the garage without detours or complex trails, landing at the comfort of your mountain retreat. Evenings invite a short trail walk to the village for dining and drinks, completing the picture of ski vacation ease and elegance.

​

Inside, Chutes Chateau spans three levels of refined comfort. The main level features a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, dining room, living room, and a cozy powder room. Step out onto the outdoor deck, where a gas fireplace and grill await, perfect for unwinding after an adventure-filled day. The heated garage, converted into a ski locker and gear room, includes commercial-grade boot and glove dryers to keep gear warm and dry. Upstairs, the “big kids” can indulge in the expansive Master Suite, complete with a king bed, en-suite bath with a jetted tub, and sunrise views over Lake Pend Oreille. This level also houses two additional queen bedrooms with mountain views, a full bathroom, and laundry facilities with an oversized washer and dryer. The lower level is designed for all ages, featuring a family room with a pull-out sofa, a double bunk room, a theater room, and a full bathroom. Step out onto the lower deck to find a new hot tub with panoramic mountain views—perfect for winding down under the stars.

​

Guests will also appreciate the personal touch of local hosts, who offer a welcoming alternative to corporate management services. Available for questions and often found on the mountain, they ensure a truly tailored experience.
