This Idaho Airbnb Looks Like It Belongs in Switzerland

Now, don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love Idaho. There is something magical about its natural beauty, its charming small towns, and many of its shops and restaurants. But, sometimes, I want to get away—like *really* get away. I dream of traveling overseas and visiting countries like Switzerland, where its snow-capped mountains and bright blue lakes take my breath away. While I likely won’t be traveling overseas anytime soon, I have found an Airbnb that looks like it belongs in Switzerland. This Swiss-style chalet in Sandpoint is a charming getaway or staycation. With cozy furnishings, a beautiful setting, and Swiss inspiration around almost every corner, this feels like an overseas escape but without a long flight, a large budget, or a lot of time off work. 

The Best Features of This Airbnb in Sandpoint, Idaho

The Edelweiss Chalet is the type of vacation rental that will make an impression the minute you arrive. It isn’t large—approximately 950 square feet—but it’s perfect for a couple’s getaway, a solo adventure, or even a small family staycation. Nestled against the mountains and tucked up against towering trees, you’ll immediately feel away from the busyness of the world. 

Walk inside and you’ll be greeted with a homey vibe. This Airbnb features an open-concept design, massive windows, and cathedral ceilings, making the interior feel much larger than 950 square feet. Bring your favorite book or a long list of conversation topics for some time snuggled near the gas fireplace in the living room. And don’t forget the groceries to prepare your favorite meals in the fully equipped kitchen.

The Edelweiss Chalet has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortably accommodating four adults and two children. And while it will certainly be hard to leave the warm inside of this cozy chalet, especially in the winter months, this vacation rental’s outdoor property deserves your time and attention. Watch the snow fall around you or wake up to the sounds of the great outdoors when you spend some time sitting back and relaxing on the chalet’s large deck. Then let your worries soak away, and your nervous system regulate while you soak in the hot tub. Style, comfort, and relaxation are just a few of our favorite things about the Edelweiss Chalet Airbnb in Sandpoint. 

Nearby Attractions to Explore While Staying at This Unique Idaho Airbnb

Relaxation certainly comes easy during your stay, but remember ... you are also in one of the most beautiful areas of the state. I recommend you spend a little bit of time exploring. Head into Sandpoint to visit its local shops and restaurants. In the winter, this is the ultimate basecamp as Schweitzer Mountain Resort is just up the road from the vacation rental. Of course, this is also a wonderful place to stay during the warmer months of the year, as you are also near Lake Pend Oreille, a gorgeous destination for fishing, swimming, boating, and relaxing along the shore. 

No matter the time of the year, the Edelweiss Chalet in Sandpoint is an Airbnb that looks like it belongs in Switzerland. Stay for a while and enjoy the cozy atmosphere, prime location, and pure relaxation you can find here. You don’t have to travel overseas for an unforgettable escape.
