Talus Rock Retreat

Even though we have the van now, we do still treat ourselves once in a while! After a few days with no showers, we were headed towards Sandpoint, Idaho, and a google search turned up Talus Rock Retreat. An absolutely gorgeous, locally-owned B&B just on the outskirts of the city. 

The attention to detail in the door is reflected throughout the home. 

Common living room area with kitchen where coffee, tea etc. is always on offer and where breakfast is served.

It was really interesting to read, in their in-room info book, about how some of the features and items in the house (many from the scrap heap) came to be re-used there. For example, the carousel horse in the above photo purchased after a low-ball offer at an antique store even though there wasn't a clear idea yet on where it would go in the home. It seems to have found the perfect spot!

Gorgeous view

Shed uniquely built into the landscaping

Chicken coop

There were at least two larger dogs and five puppies running around!

Chickens out for a walk

There's a short nature trail around the outskirts of the property.

Andrew got some great photos on our hike which he shows in his "A Walk in the Woods" post. 

A couple tiny houses also for rent.
