Located in the heart of Schweitzer Mountain Village, The Collection at Five Needles offers an exceptional ski-in, ski-out experience as an extension of the iconic White Pine Lodge. Collaborating with the development team, Elliott Cole Home furnished four distinct residences, bringing a cohesive design vision and an individualized perspective to each.
Warm wood tones, tailored furnishings and thoughtful material selections complement the architecture while allowing the surrounding mountain landscape to take center stage. Designed for comfort, versatility and effortless hospitality, the interiors embrace the rhythm of mountain life, from first chair to après-ski gatherings—balancing the energy of the village with the quiet pleasure of coming home.

Set along the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, this waterfront property was transformed through three distinct phases, each contributing to a larger vision for life on the lake. A modest lakeside structure became a welcoming bunkhouse, an existing boathouse was reimagined, and an entirely new main residence completed the retreat.
Contemporary architecture meets warm timber, natural stone and thoughtfully tailored interiors, creating a dialogue between the built environment and the surrounding landscape. Designed to accommodate generations of family and friends, the property embraces the pleasures of waterfront living—where gathering, recreation and quiet moments by the water unfold naturally.
I absolutely love working with Kate Lyster and the Base Camp design team. She delivered so much more than we expected. We really enjoyed working with her and getting to know her during our remodeling project. She has a great attitude and handled any construction hiccups with grace and good humor and somehow found timely and budget friendly solutions to everything. She made the process easy for us. We bought a dated and somewhat tired looking vacation rental that had good bones and potential and had Base Camp do the redesign and remodel.
We had the best experience working with Kate and her team. They helped with the exterior and interior of our home. Provided selections that we loved, quick responses to our questions or changes and were very professional and fun to work with. Our home turned out gorgeous and we look forward to spending time there.
Kate helped guide us through a major build on Lake Pend Oreille. She took into consideration our aesthetic and helped us choose materials and furnishings that completed our vision, a tough assignment given the disparity between my taste and my husband's. When we had difficulty finding furnishings, she worked with us and local artisans to create custom furnishings for our home. As with any build, we had some design obstacles, but Kate helped alleviate the issues in beautiful, creative ways and helped "talk us off the ledge" a few times. The Base Camp Design team is always so responsive and communication is very open and positive.
We have used Kates team on occasion... her attention to detail and follow through helped us with quick and successful closings. The Base Camp team always has handled the process with respect and kindness! Base Camp is a win in or book!
We recently used Kate and her team to remodel our ski cabin at Schweitzer Mtn. She took our outdated ski cabin and turned it into a fresh, bright and modern retreat that we love. Her team's creativity and their close working relationships with other local professionals ensured the final product exceeded all of our expectations. Throughout our project Kate thoroughly listened to any questions we had and in the end, all of her design recommendations were spot-on! We were so pleased with the Base Camp Team that we plan to work with them again this year as we build our dream home in Sandpoint.
The process of building a new home is stressful to say the least. The amount of decisions to be made is staggering. Throughout our entire process, Kate remained a constant. She was patient with me when I was frustrated. She was laser focused on every single detail including ones that I had no idea even existed. She was absolutely chalked full of wonderful ideas and her combination of the above referenced items led to our new home being more spectacular than I could have ever imagined.
I had a great time working with Kate on a fun furniture project. Kate was very responsive and there to help me with all the materials and design details needed. I was very happy to see the products I delivered to come together with her incredible interior design work! I highly recommend working for Kate if you take pride in your projects and can deliver a great product.
Transitioning a shop to a home has had many challenges. Kate gave us a selection of colors to choose from, lighting, window coverings, flooring, and furniture selection. Appropriate sizing was another big challenge for us and Kate's expertise was exactly what we needed to cut through our confusion. I would confidently recommend Kate's design expertise to make your house a home you will love.
Kate helped me create the house of my dreams. She listens and gets what matters to you. She brought me ideas that helped me get out of my box and those have become the favorite parts of my house. She also could tell when something was really important to me. Kate managed the subcontractors for high quality which was a load off my back. I have used Kate for two updates and am thrilled with both results. Kate helped me create the house of my dreams and was a true partner in creativity and execution.
Kate has that rare combination of creativity paired with excellent communication and organization skills. What that means is you get an incredible and gorgeous interior design, that is well presented with a timeline and budget. Design is art and beauty uniquely designed for each client — but to have an artist who is also a professional such as Kate makes the entire process so enjoyable. Kate has helped me personally with my own condo, as well as professionally with other clients. I highly recommend her and her team.
