Top house we have rented…

We absolutely loved this home! It was a convenient spot, close to family who live in CDA and close to downtown. The home was nicely decorated, had excellent main level living, dining, gathering space and the kitchen was nicely equipped-we all like to cook! Hosts were very nice and very responsive!

Excellent stay.

The home was very nice and clean but not close enough for us to walk to the lake or downtown area. The home is located in an area that is being rehabilitated. We felt very safe and comfortable.

We had a great time here, and would definitely book again when back in the area. Everything we could wish for was in the well-stocked kitchen. The decorating was beautiful, thoughtful towel placement everywhere was helpful, and the couches and beds were very comfortable! We had a wonderful stay.

Great property

This was a great place to stay with my family. The location was convenient. The house was darling. There was plenty of bed space and the living area was open and really conducive to great family time. We really appreciated the backyard play space and the board games. Had a small issue with the grill and the owner was very responsive and helpful. Next time we're in Coeur d'Alene we will definitely rebook!

Nice Family Trip

It was our first time visiting family in Coeur d’Alene and this house made our visit absolutely amazing. The house was beautiful, even our family living on the lake said they wish they were staying there with us. The neighborhood is quiet and close to everything it was such a great stay. 100% will be booking our next trip to Coeur d’Alene just to stay at this house again.
