Testimonials

Jay Lewis joined Talus Rock Retreat in 2018 as our maintenance man extraordinaire. A fourth-generation Sandpoint native, Jay is loyal, dependable, and happiest working alone. His motto? “Anything another human can do, I can do!” From hauling heavy furniture up narrow stairs to maneuvering 30-foot trailers through trees, no challenge is too great. Jay is truly priceless. His free-time activities? “Work. And work. Oh, and cut firewood. Now leave me alone, I have cattails to pull.”
