About this property

Ultimate Ski In-Out - Ski 4 Free - A Luxury Stand Alone Home above the Village

It’s finally dumping at Schweitzer! There are plenty of days in January and early February available. We have dropped the minimum night stay for those dates to a two night minimum. Don’t forget that you get access to 4 complimentary ski passes for every day of your stay (do the math on that one!). Are you ready to experience THE EXPERIENCE? Learn why we have so many repeat guests, year after year.

If you are looking for the best ski in/out on the mountain, you have found it. If you’re looking at other homes claiming ski in/out, make sure to ask if you can truly ski to and from the home on a groomed run without crossing streets, parking lots, neighborhoods, or taking small, unmarked trails (read other’s reviews about location - many complain about hiking to a trail or crossing streets multiple times). VERY few homes at Schweitzer are TRULY ski in/out. The heated garage/locker room at Chutes Chateau is just a few dry, level steps from the groomed run and the location allows you to ski in/out for night skiing as well.

On top of the best location for ski in/out at Schweitzer we also provide lift passes for your stay. Up to *** 4 complimentary passes *** are available for every day of your stay. This is almost a $550/day savings compared to purchasing adult lift tickets at the ticket window.

Would you rather spend time with your family skiing and enjoying all Schweitzer has to offer or running down the mountain for groceries? There is no grocery delivery to Schweitzer so we created it, and exclusively for our guests. Do you want dinner reservations or spa reservations made in advance of your trip? Are you new to Schweitzer and want a quick guided tour? We offer that too, just ask.

Chutes Chateau is a stand alone home in the Mountainside Community directly above Schweitzer Village. Arrive to a heated street and heated driveway and a TRUE ski in/out location that doesn't involve traveling down to the new Creekside Express lift/parking area (lines are LONG on weekends) or walking/crossing ANY streets. Walk 3 steps out of the garage, strap in, and you're on a groomed trail and end up at the two main high speed lifts in the heart of the village. From the mountain, you can ski directly back to the garage via a groomed ski run, no crazy trails to follow, and you end up right back home. Chutes Chateau sets the bar for the term "ski in, ski out,” yet is still just a short trail walk to the Village for dinner and drinks.

Chutes Chateau is 3 levels with the main/middle level containing the fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, powder room, and outdoor deck with a gas fireplace & gas grill to relax at the end of the day. There is also the garage - setup as a heated ski locker/gear room with a commercial grade boot/glove dryer, fans, and a dehumidifier to make sure your gear is warm and dry after lunch or for the next day. Upstairs is for the big kids with 3 bedrooms, including the enormous Master Suite (king), en-suite bathroom with a jetted tub and a Dyson Airwrap hair dryer so you don’t need to bring yours. The Master Suite overlooks Lake Pend Oreille and comes with breathtaking sunrises (see photos - these are actual sunrise/sunset photos from the master bedroom). Also upstairs are another 2 bedrooms, both with queen beds and views of the mountain, plus another full bathroom as well as the laundry - an oversized washer/dryer fully stocked with supplies. The lower level is for all ages with a family room complete with a queen pull out sofa bed and attached double bunk room. There is also another full bathroom and a theater room to relax and take in a game, show, or movie. The lower level deck is where you will find the hot tub with the water changed out between guests, a heated walkway to the hot tub, and oh - the view from the hot tub will leave you speechless.

What else sets Chutes Chateau apart from the rest? Beyond arguably the best ski/in out on the mountain, Chutes Chateau is setup with the latest smart features, including a whole home SONOS sound system, a whole home steam humidification system to eliminate the static and breathing issues that happen in nearly all other ski resort/alpine homes. How about an automatic backup generator in case of a power outage? - we’ve got that too, it even powers the hot tub if the power is out! Multiple smart TVs with YouTube TV (with NFL Sunday Ticket included), Netflix, and Disney+ included and the ability to log into your own accounts for other services if you'd like. Smart Phone Chargers setup in every bedroom giving you the ability to wirelessly charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Have you ever run out of hot water for showers with a big group? We had too so we installed a tankless water heater system with a backup heater so you don't need to worry about cold showers. Complimentary locally roasted, fresh ground coffee (or whole bean, your choice) and fine wine will greet you in the kitchen upon your arrival. Also included in the kitchen pantry is a variety of organic soups, hot chocolate and popcorn for the kids, as well as a few other complimentary items. We care about your safety on the Mountain as well, we provide each guest with a whistle to add to your ski jacket (you keep it) as well as use of our RECCO tags during your stay.

Last, but certainly not least, you have hosts who are locals. You won't be dealing with an 800 number to a call center who knows where. If you have questions we are always available and are often at the mountain ourselves.

Summer Stays:
Are you at Schweitzer with family for a long weekend or wedding? We are one of the few homes with A/C for summertime stays in comfort! All the hiking, biking, and walking is just an easy, short walk or ride from the home.

Insurance:
Damage Insurance is required for every stay and will be listed in your quote.

Spring/Summer/Fall: 2 nights

Amazing chalet, amazing management
Definitely the best rental experience we've had at Schweitzer yet. Great communication from management, super easy check in/out, very well appointed and maintained property, awesome gear room in the garage, ski-in-ski-out direct from the house, etc. The movie room was great for the kids while the adults relaxed in the hot tub. The complimentary ski passes were icing on the cake.

Annual President's Day ski trip
The property far exceeded our expectations. Jack and team left no detail overlooked. There were several amenities that most hosts do not include! The stocked pantry was much appreciated when our flight was delayed by 3 hours and we got to the mountain later than planned. the kitchen is perfectly appointed. We as cooks appreciate quality cooing utensils and plenty of storage and mixing containers. We weren't washing silverware every meal! the bedrooms are all well appointed as well as plenty of linens and towels! The hot tub is smaller than in some units, but this was well communicated in the description. The host is local and was available for any request me may have had! We will be back!

True Ski In Ski Out
If you love to ski and love, great views, this is the house for you. House had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Everything was in great shape, and has some of the best access on the mountain. The garage is completely set up for getting ready to ski , and even has a industrial boot/glove dryer. Will stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. So many places describe themselves as ski in/ski out. What they don't mention is the trail system and/or roads to cross either getting to the home from the mountain or getting to the lifts from the home. Chutes Chateau is at the end of a dead end street that dead ends at a groomed ski trail/run meaning that you can get your warm gear on in the comfort of the heated garage, open the door, 3 steps out and you are on the main groomed trail that leads right to the main village and main lifts. From the mountain the home is directly below, and easily visible from, the Stomping Grounds Terrain Park. No stairs to climb or hikes across roads in winter gear (unless the snow is really deep in which case there may be a snow stair or two to get to the run from the driveway). Even getting out and back from the home for night skiing is possible because the terrain park is well lit at night.

What makes this property unique

Beyond the amazing home itself you get local hosts, not an 800 number. We ski Schweitzer regularly and aren't afraid to share our favorite runs or powder stashes. Our unique knowledge of the mountain and runs can point you to a perfect day even if the weather isn't cooperating.
