Quite a spectacular house. It was purposefully designed for hosting an event or getting a group of friends or family together. The entire house is centered around a large pool, and there are multiple seating, dining and entertaining areas, all with their own vibe. The kids can hang out in the plush media room, or play pool in the game room while adults gather elsewhere (or vice vice versa!) We had lots of space for game night after skiing all day, and the whole house is well equipped, including lots of kitchen tools, plenty of serving items, two dishwashers, two sets of washer/dryers, and I think 3-4 refrigerator/drink cooler fridges!We'll definitely come back again if it's available!
Loved the property and the location - close to town and to the Beach Park. The pool and jacuzzi were great. Plenty of room for our family reunion of 5 families - 14 people ranging in age from 1 to 78. The kitchen and bbq had all the equipment and dishes we needed.
Perfect for large groups. Hosts went to great lengths to make the stay enjoyable. As advertised and more than fully equipped for a great time.

Stunning home!
The home is beautiful and incredibly spacious for all your guests. I loved the open kitchen and the game room with a pool table. We went skiing at Schweitzer and this location was perfect. I’m sure it would also be wonderful to stay in the summer as well.

We appreciated your group Amanda, and glad you found the location convenient given that you came to ski at Schweitzer! We think it’s a great place to stay for people coming to ski Schweitzer since it enables you to enjoy the nightlife and dining in downtown and the nearby slopes during the day.
We hope you and your friends will return this summer to see first hand how much fun our lakeside home is during that time.
Melissa & Brian
Perfect Location, Plenty of room, loved hanging by pool.
Home is older, and beds kind of stacked together inside rooms, but were all very comfortable. Worked great for our larger group.
Thank you.
Amazing home with everything we needed, in a great Sandpoint location for whenever we did venture out! The pool, lounge chairs, tv’s, many comfy beds, AV room, and well-equipped kitchen provided for a fantastic weekend for our group of families. The owners were very responsive and helpful - couldn’t recommend more highly!
Amazing property, amenities and location. Too bad the cherry trees at front of property died due to harsh winter. Would definitely stay here again if we come back. Highly recommended. Very accommodating property managers.
We booked Newport Plums Estate for our 50th wedding anniversary weekend to be together with our kids and grandkids. The facility was top rate, the hospitality wonderful and responsive, and our time there a wonderful memory for everyone. Hosts Brian and Melissa went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcomed and special. We highly recommend this venue! Outstanding!!
We were able to house our large family from all over the US comfortably in one place that had more than enough room for our reception which was attended by over 30 people. The house was near the lake and walking distance to downtown. The property manager Mellisa was the best property manager I’ve ever dealt with. She was available 24 hours a day. The house was perfect for family pictures also. I can’t wait to visit again in the summer to use the pool.
Amazing stay and huge thank you to Brian and Melissa! We had another house booked for our group of 20 people that got flooded just days before our trip. Luckily we found Brian and Melissa house - The Newport Plums Estate and they bent over backwards to accommodate us. Honestly I think it was meant to be as their house was much better. Amazing location right in Sandpoint, the place is a beautiful castle, and the hot tub is the nicest 10 person tub I have ever seen. We look forward to hopefully staying again. Book this house, you will not be disappointed!
The home was beautiful & perfectly equipped. The location was just a short walk to town.
Brian & Melissa were the perfect hosts, always available upon request. They greeted us & showed us through the house upon arrival. The weather was at a 30 year low which caused a few challenges as to proper heating in some of the rooms. An outside pipe burst two days before departure so hot water was an issue. However, we had a wonderful time occupying ourselves in the game room, watching sports & movies on the many tvs as well as family game time.

Thank you for your input and nice review. The winter weather God here in Sandpoint must have been a little upset at us during your stay. It is very rare to get temperatures as low as we had during your stay. Sandpoint winters bring snow but mild tempertures. We greatly appreciated you letting us know of the issue that the extreme cold caused right away i We have an 80 gallon commerical water heater that has always delivered and brought us and our guests plentiful hot water. Because of you keeping us timely informed our plumber was able to come and locate the broken pipe and fix it prior to the next guests arriving. We cannot even begin to express how appreciative we are for you timely bringing the issue to our attention so that we could fix it before the next family arrived for their stay. Thank you and we hope that you will visit us again. Melissa and Brian
Great for Large Groups with Something for Everyone!
Our extended family of 13, ages 6 - 60(ish) stayed here in July 2019. We had a great time in Sandpoint and really enjoyed our stay at Newport Estates. The house was a perfect size for us and having the heated pool, hot tub, games room and theatre room definitely added to our stay. Everyone had something to enjoy that suited their tastes. The location was fantastic! Close to the lake and in walking distance of downtown Sandpoint where we shopped, took in the fireworks (Wow! What a show Sandpoint puts on July 4th!), parade and City Beach. The grounds out front of the estate are also beautiful. We did family photos there and the setting was gorgeous.
The large kitchen area with dual dishwashers, fridges plus drink cooler and ice maker made it so easy for us to manage our large group's needs without feeling crowded or like we had to limit the amount food or drinks that we brought in. Having 2 laundry areas also came in very handy.
This was our first visit to Sandpoint and absolutely loved this gem of a place. There is so much to do and our only regret was not having more time to take it all in. We golfed the Idaho Club (so serene!), took in Silverwood/Boulder Creek Adventure Park (amazing time and barely any line ups), Schwitzer Mountain (could have spent a whole day here had we known how much there was to do before we went), shopping, shopping, shopping in downtown Sandpoint, pool days when it was a little cooler and City Beach when it was hot. There was so much we didn't get to do, nature touring - hiking/biking near Sandpoint, shopping in Coure d'alene, horse adventures, and more time taking in the water sports on the lake. The weather didn't co-operate or we would have taken in the lake more. Fortunately, there is so much to do in and around Sandpoint that we never ran out of things to do, even on the cooler days.
If you've never been to Sandpoint it is definitely worth the trip and we would recommend staying at Newport Estates.
Great location, plenty of space, lots of helpful supplies!
Our group of 9 along with our two local friends had enough room to gather, and enough room to do remote work. We much appreciated that we did not have to buy dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, a sponge, etc. Loved the gas range, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, 2 washers and 2 dryers, 2 refrigerators, etc. One of the reasons we chose this property was the location. Even though we had multiple rental cars, we often enjoyed walking to restaurants and shops. Oh! And the hot water was always nice and hot! Never ran out even while everyone was showering, laundry was washing, etc. We would defintely stay here again! Thank you Melissa and Brian!
We had such a wonderful time here! We all loved the house, and it was an ideal location for our family vacation. The cousins especially enjoyed time together in the pool!
Brian and Melissa are attentive and responsive hosts, but also very respectful of privacy. Would love to come back!
Amazing home, central location - perfect for large groups
Incredible property in downtown Sandpoint. Our large group of adults included a mix of adventurous skiers & non-skiers. The estate offered a perfect combination of high end amenities + central location with easy access to Schweitzer resort and bars/restaurants in town that everyone was happy with. Owners and property manager were great and very easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend this home for large groups!
We had four generations of family gathered together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. It was a blast. The accommodations were wonderful and provided space for all of us to gather together as well as find some quiet spots to escape. The pool and hot tub were a huge success and provided a source of many hours of enjoyment. The pool room and parlor were great for some evening hours of music and billiards. Everyone had a wonderful time and we may have to consider a return visit in the future
Very large house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. Great pool and great hot tub. Smoke was heavy but we made the best of it. We did a lot of activities around Sandpoint. Cooked several meals together. We were there 10 days. Jackie, the property manager, helped us out a few times when we needed something and very responsive . I gave her a list of some maintenance items that needed attention. The property is not new. But most everything is functioning, just a little dated.
We had an immediate family wedding and a party the next day for friends. The house was lovely and accommodated us perfectly. The yard was made to look great for the wedding and any problems we had were resolved immediately. Our guests brought children and they thoroughly enjoyed the pool as did we all the rest of the week. The game room was a big hit too. We closed everything down at 10pm per instructions which was nice for us too since family members spent days jet skiing, paddle boarding and kayaking. Thank you to all who helped us to enjoy our stay, our wedding a nd our family reunion.
Our stay at Newport Plum Estates was so amazing! We had such an awesome stay with our sweet family & than had our very magical, romantic wedding reception by the pool! Jackie the house manager totally rocked & was the coolest, most down to earth estate manager we have ever worked with & we have stayed at many vrbo's over the years! She would immediately get back to us every time we had a question or needed to talk! Brian & Melissa the owners were very awesome too! The estate is absolutely beautiful & great for an awesome stay with family & an incredible wedding venue! There is a pool so children need to be watched very carefully for safety! The beautiful memories we made here we will cherish forever & we are so blessed & thankful!
Great weekend with our family, weather was perfect, house and pool were gorgeous!

About the host
Hosted by Brian & Melissa Kramer
Brian & Melissa Kramer are proud members of the Sandpoint community. They are Former Founders of The Idaho Club. Brian and Melissa love everything about Sandpoint from the clean air, the ability to see millions of stars at night, and most of all the warm locals who take great pride in this beautiful community.
Why they chose this property
This is a landmark estate home in downtown Sandpoint that is incredibly spacious and offers terrific amenities including a brand new stainless steel jacuzzi, bi-folding doors opening up to the pool deck for in-and-out door living, a 50's themed game room and a private theater room!
This house is close to everything that you could want to do in Sandpoint. It allows those coming as a group to ski or enjoy winter sports at Schweitzer Mountain to enjoy the best of Schweitzer Mountain Resort and all that downtown Sandpoint has to offer. The house is a short 10 to 15 minute drive away from the Schweitzer ski lifts, and the benefits of staying in town (instead of on the mountain) include that you will have far greater access to the many restaurants and pubs at night than the limited options at Schweitzer Village, which becomes a ghost town after 7:00 p.m.
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location: Perched on Lake Pend Oreille, this property is walking distance from Sandpoint’s downtown shops and restaurants and the beach. Only a short drive to either Schweitzer during the ski season and to The Idaho Club during summer golf season.
The house can comfortably accommodate up to 16 overnight guests. It has 5 bedrooms, and 5 full baths, and 2 half baths and is approximately 7,400 square feet. The house sits on a huge 3.5-acre lot. Enclosed behind 50-foot plus tall American Arborvitae trees, guests enjoy a completely private setting once they pass through the front gate.
With Lake Pend Oreille providing a picturesque backdrop, the Newport Plums Estate makes for a perfect venue for any family occasion.
Located only 11-miles from the lifts at Schweitzer Mountain, and 9-miles from The Idaho Club golf course, the house is ideally suited for groups coming to either ski Schweitzer Mountain Resort, play golf at The Idaho Club or enjoy any of the other countless outdoor activities available around Sandpoint.
Guests coming to ski Schweitzer Mountain routinely comment on how nice it is to be able to go to the downtown pubs and restaurants for dinner after enjoying a full day on the slopes. (Free parking and shuttle service is available at the Red Barn Park & Ride area at the base of the mountain).
