Sandpoint is a small town on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho’s largest and deepest lake, in the Panhandle about 60 miles south of the Canadian border. It is known for a creative streak out of proportion to its size: a downtown of galleries, bookstores and restaurants, a summer concert series by the lake and a historic theater. Its economy combines tourism, aircraft manufacturing, food companies and outdoor-industry businesses, and its mountain setting draws second-home owners and remote workers alike.

The nearest airline airport is in Spokane, roughly an hour and a half away by car, and winter roads in the Panhandle can stretch that considerably. Sandpoint Airport sits on the edge of town, so flying private puts you a few minutes from the lake and about half an hour from the slopes of Schweitzer Mountain Resort, which looks out over the lake and the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains. Visitors come for skiing, boating, fishing for trophy trout, hiking and biking in national forest land and evenings at the Festival at Sandpoint.
