Talus Rock Retreat

Talus Rock Retreat is an 18-acre luxury lodging and event property set one mile from downtown Sandpoint, Idaho. Built over two decades by owners Bruce and Heather Mehra-Pedersen, the retreat began as a family home and grew into a full-service bed and breakfast that also opens its grounds to weddings, private gatherings, and curated dining experiences. The property's six guest rooms each carry a distinct character — from the octagonal Arbor Room with its jetted tub to the Selkirk Room's Serengeti-inspired décor with a hand-hammered copper sink. Common areas include an outdoor pool, fire pits, infrared sauna, and walking trails through the gardens, all available to guests and event parties. For weddings and private events, the retreat offers ceremony settings in the Great Room or anywhere across its 18-acre grounds, with packages accommodating intimate elopements of a few guests up to celebrations of 48 or more. A private chef offers multi-course interactive dinners, and the venue hosts signature events including Murder Mystery Dinners and Wine Makers Dinners. All alcohol is provided through the retreat.
