High in Wardner’s storied Silver Valley, at the threshold of Idaho’s Silver Mountain resort, stands a remarkable transformation. 320 Main Street—once the historic Redman Lodge, survivor of the 1910 North Idaho fires—has been meticulously reimagined into a luxury ski-in, bike-in retreat blending deep heritage with contemporary alpine minimalism. Fully remodeled in 2024, this nearly 3,932 sf chalet retains the patina of the past while embracing the precision of modern construction.

Originally built in 1902, the lodge has seen many incarnations—libertarian men’s lodge, church, ski lodge, local landmark—yet its latest iteration embraces its legacy with subtlety. Tall ceilings, exposed original beams, and maple-clad walls evoke a sense of narrative continuity, while new systems, structural reinforcements, and finished interiors elevate performance and comfort.

Restoration honored the original frame and footprint, retaining the lodge’s commanding presence on its 8,276 sf level lot, and reframing it with wood siding, composition roof, and perimeter concrete foundation—all enhanced during the 2024 modernization.

Within its four bedrooms and three baths, the interior spans nearly 3,932 sq ft of carefully curated space. Every room is anchored by expansive views of forested valleys, peaks, and the Silver Mountain gondola—filtering mountain light into a palette of warm wood floors, tile panels, and generational textures.

The centerpiece: a great room with vaulted ceilings and a dramatic fireplace—perfect for après‑ski warmth. Nearby, open-plan design integrates living, dining, and kitchen zones, accented by custom finishes, oversized windows, and refined yet rugged materials that invite both indulgence and ease.

At its base level, a social recreation lounge expands the lodge’s utility, outfitted for gatherings—movie nights, ping pong, billiards, shuffleboard—inviting multigenerational enjoyment. Original lodge charm melds with modern leisure amenities, creating spaces that feel lived-in and purpose-built.

Thoughtful mechanical updates—forced air, central air conditioning, high-efficiency windows, and modern insulation—ensure the home performs effortlessly across Idaho’s seasons while preserving its historic charm.

A standout feature: true ski‑in/bike‑in access from Silver Mountain Resort, offering unparalleled access in winter and summer activities—including skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, and hiking—all steps from the front door. 

For investors, the lodge’s blend of nostalgia and modern luxury delivers strong short‑term rental potential. Yet for families, it offers sanctuary—a place that hosts community in style and solitude in equal measure.
