My wife Shannon and I had no idea what to expect from this amazing retreat. We loved everything about Talus Rock especially the amazing people (and animals) that call it home. These are truly special people that are doing special things for their communities in the US and abroad. I departed feeling sad that we couldn't stay longer and experience... More

I am a huge fan of Bed and Breakfast locations but Talus Rock blew every hope and expectation I could ever have out of the water!! The entire Pedersen family is so warm, welcoming and friendly. You will feel at home before you ever pull up, and when you park you will stand in awe at the dream that has... More

Talus Rock is the most unique place we have ever stayed. The architecture and decor are very artistic and well done with beautiful tile, stained glass, rustic features, and cultural accents throughout. Heather and Bruce are extremely gracious and pleasant and made us feel like family. We are definitely going to return to Talus Rock and highly recommend that others... More

Without doubt one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. My wife and I have travelled great distances to many beautiful destinations ...Talus Rock is a short 1.5 hours from our doorstep and it is truly incredible! From the moment you first speak with Heather you will understand why. We were treated like family from the time we arrived... More

I have stayed in some amazing 5 star hotels in the past, places I would jump at the chance to return to. Talus Rock, however, is a cut above all of them. The actual building is an incredible work of handcrafted art, from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, including guest rooms designed with such inviting beauty, creativity and... More

Talus Lodge was such a unique and amazing place to stay my boyfriend and I have vowed to go back atleast once a year. The lodging is absolutely amazing with alot of love and care given to the smallest details. Even more memorable though was the warmth and hospitality of the family that owns Talus Rock. With no pressure to... More

We just got home from Talus Rock today, and the whole ride home talked about how amazing it was. The whole family was incredible and inviting and we felt so blessed to meet so many gracious people during our stay. This isn't your typical bed and breakfast, the architechture is so enticing and there is a story behind every corner.... More

This is a truly amazing property. Even better are the people who run it. They are so kind and friendly that we felt like family. My wife and I stayed right after Christmas when there was fresh snow, and just couldnt get over how magical it was. If you stay here I strongly recommend the tree room. It is the... More

We were looking for a home atmosphere to spend Christmas away from home. An online search led us to Talus Rock, the best kept secret in Sandpoint, Idaho. Our hosts, Bruce & Heather Pederson, went to the extreme to make us feel welcome & comfortable. My husband has allergies to just about everything (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) so we were... More

My husband and I made the trip from Spokane to Talus Rock for our anniversary weekend. We enjoyed the scenic drive, and were surprised by the beauty of not only the property, but the amazing uniqueness of the home. "Home" is a fitting word, the minute you walk in you are welcomed by warmth and kindness. We stayed in the... More
