Excellent Location

Beautiful and right on the water. Do recommend AWD for the road down to the cabin. Beaches are a little rocky so water shoes are good to have. The cabin is small but well stocked. There is construction work happening next door so it can be a bit loud at times. Overall, exactly what we were expecting. Our family had a great time on the lake. Thank you!

Bike, hike, family, and lake view

My husband and I and our little dog stayed 2 weeks. Great location to The Trails of the Coeur d'Alene, and a few good hikes. The lake view is spectacular. The cottage was very well equipped but not alot if storage for food supplies but we made it work. The dock is great for sitting on or docking a boat. My son and daughter in law came to visit by boat and the dock was perfect. It is a little windy in the bay. There is a nice covered deck so if you have a day of rain there is still an outside spot to sit. The cottage was very clean. We enjoyed our stay.

You will not be disappointed.

This is our 3rd time renting this gem. We are veteran renters on Coeur d’ alene Lake. While smaller than some of the cabins we have stayed in, this home is by far the easiest to unload and the beautiful flat beach access and dock is second to none. Much of the lake is surrounded by a steep embankment and often cabins have many steps to off load and even more steps to get down to the beach. Additionally, the beds are very comfortable, it has AC, and is spotlessly clean and easy parking for additional cars. You can go for ice cream in Harrison about 20 minutes south or in to Coeur d’line 20 minutes to the north. The owners are lovely and always accommodating.

It's ON THE BEACH!

That was the basic idea of the vacation, to enjoy the water. Being able to go out the door across the beach to the water was ideal. Nice new large dock to hang out and swim from. The house is small, but you can see that. Kitchen has what you need, beds were comfortable. Great windows for views of the lake. We appreciate that it is dog friendly with a nice yard on the side with a little out front. We brought our boat and moored it on the dock. Yes, Henry, it was plenty deep. A storm came up the last night we stayed and the owner let us use a lift on the next door dock which was very appreciated since the water got pretty wild. Thank you to our hosts, the other next door neighbor, and (Mark?) the maintenance man for aiding us to use the lift.

Perfect spot

Everything was amazing from perfect home, location and neighbors. We stayed 12 nights with family and brought our boat. Did get windy a couple of days so make sure you have good rope and safety bumpers to prepare. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your home.

Idaho Getaway

My son and I (and our dog Sadie) enjoyed our time at Henry's imensely. The cabin was immaculate and the location was perfect for us. We towed a bass boat and was able to park our truck and boat safely behind the cabin just off the access road. Parking for our rig was a little tight right next to the cabin. The neighbors nearby were very nice and the cabin was well appointed with just about anything we needed. We would certainly stay here again.

It’s a very lovely setting! The view is spectacular!! The first day, I saw a young eagle just out from the dock catch a fish and fly away with it! It’s a very peaceful setting with friendly neighbors! The parking was difficult—4wheel drive is a must. Also, remember your water shoes!

A little Slice of Heaven

This is a great little lake home that actually accommodates 6 adults well. The kitchen and bath were well appointed, and the bedrooms had comfortable mattresses. The AC was great for what was a very hot week. We brought a base and a large umbrella for the end of the dock as it would have been very hot out there worthier some shade. We already have plans to return.

great stay with no dining table

Great location, nice neighbors. There is no dining table inside or outside, which left me speechless. We finally found four foldable TV dinners tables, but still, even a small table where a family could have a meal would make things so much better. The closest grocery store is at least 40 minutes away by car.

Wonderful lake destination for families

My family had a magical time here for 5 nights. The beach, water depth, and dock were all great for adults and small children alike. There is a bit of a drive to Coeur d'alene but it's a scenic one. The firepit was wonderful at night to sit and over look the beautiful water. Definitely recommend a stay here if you're looking for a quiet relaxing time. There are neighbors right next door but they are wonderful!! Mike and Norma lent us firewood and told us we were welcome to use any of their lake toys as well. They were just awesome!! We'll definitely be back!

Great beach and lake front

We loved the lake front with a large beach and dock. The views were beautiful! The house is small but cozy. Unfortunately there was no comfortable place to sit. We used the patio furniture foot stools for inside the house. New couches would be nice! We had it all on our 23 night stay, wind, smoke (lots) and rain. Loss power for 4 hours the second night. Not enough storage for that long of a stay. 2nd bedroom had cleaning supplies in its closet so no usable closet there. Small dresser, bunk beds very uncomfortable, felt like sleeping on rubber sheets. Main bedroom closet was good. Smallest queen bed I’ve seen. Bathroom was good, nice size. Water pressure iffy. Washer/dryer worked great. Loved the deck in front of the house and the under roof patio for storage. Be careful coming off the deck stairs no handrails. And the stairs didn’t go all away across the deck there was potted plants there so you don’t fall off! There was one picnic table and 6 sun chairs. No unbrellas. There was supposed to be blow up paddle boards and a paddle boat. Had neither one. Sand is like small gravel and big rocks in the lake so water shoes is a must. Water was fantastic! Pattie was fast to address our concerns. What we wasn’t ready for or told there is construction going on right next door! :( But all and all a beautiful place for a short stay with not a lot of people! Patti was kind enough to give me a nights refund so we could leave a day early to beat the holiday traffic home!

Wonderful Home

This property was everything we wanted. Plenty of room for a family of five, with all necessities provided. Per prior reviews I brought two things that made our stay that much better, kites for the kids (we had one windy day out of six) and water shoes (water line is rocky-plenty of sand above though). There is ample shade and sun on the property and inside the home was cool and relaxing with views of the lake. The only problem was a neighbor's large unleashed dog that decided to repeatedly mark his territory in the yard and on our water toys and visit our leashed elderly small poodle, getting him riled up🤦‍♀️we believe they were also renting and on vacation and this in no way reflects on the owners of this property. Just a reminder to please leash your pups

Perfect Family Getaway

This property was perfect for our little family. We had some issues with cleanliness when we checked in. We reached out to the owner and she was very quick to respond and made it right. Otherwise, everything was perfect. The road to the house is winding and about 20 minutes from the Interstate. We needed to make sure we had all we need before getting up there. I cooked all our meals, using the kitchen to its fullest. The kitchen had all the cookware and utensils I needed. The private beach was clean, our burn permit was very easy to obtain, and location was serene and picturesque. We would stay there again! Thanks for a great stay!

well appointed, clean home w great beach and dock. our chihuahua and doxie loved it, easy to launch Hobie kayak from property, AC worked great, wifi, dish TV, DVD player, well stocked kitchen, trash bags, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, high end TP (my son pointed out), loads of towels, great deck and propane grill, parking was good for the area, I could have gotten 3 cars in easily tho a bit steep w gravel if 2WD. waves can build pretty big if wind is right, but I tied up a jetski at a diagonal and it weathered waves well, beached the Hobie TI easily. Tap water not the best tasting for drinking so Id bring some other H2O. Great place IMHO

About the host

Hosted by Pattie Wozow

Why they chose this property

My husband Henry and I bought this adorable home in Driftwood Bay on Lake Coeur d'Alene in North Idaho about 10 years ago. Our family summer/lake home is right next door and we jumped on the opportunity to purchase the house next door to rent out. We have met the most wonderful people who have rented from us. Many Canadian's and more recently locals who are choosing to stay closer to home to eliminate the airfares involved with traveling further away. The house is so cute and extremely clean. It really is 'right' on the beach. Home was recently remodeled with new kitchen cabinets with granite counter tops, wood floors throughout, bathroom completely updated with new tile, sink, toilet and tub surround. Our home sleeps 8 comfortably. When you go out onto the front deck there are steps that lead to a grassy area and then right down onto the sand. There is a large tree right there for shade and lazy summer naps on the lounge chairs, but sun and water are also steps away. Brand new dock with protected boat slip, swim ladders, lighting for night activities. The dock accommodates patio furniture on the large deck area at end of dock. Night campfires are great in the fire pit on the beach. The neighbors all down the beach have campfires so you can hear the music and laughter from them as well. It really is a great place to vacation, you are in your own world or visit the resorts and restaurants within a short distance away if you prefer. I know you will not be disappointed.

What makes this property unique

If you want to travel into town it is about 20-25 minutes away, or you can go by boat if you have one. There are unlimited activities in Coeur d'Alene. Antiquing, hiking, renting jet skis, airplane rides, a beautiful resort to enjoy, wonderful shopping and fabulous restaurants to choose from. You can also go east to the 'Silver Valley' and enjoy a gondola ride in Kellogg, or again antiquing or hiking or tour a real silver mine. Another fun activity is to visit Silverwood Theme Park with a huge Water Park included. It is North Idaho's version of Disneyland. It is fun for the whole family and only about 45 minutes from our lake house.
