Wonderful stay on the lake

We completely enjoyed our stay at Ellen’s Escape. The house has beautiful views and everything you need to be comfortable. The beds were great. Communication with the owner was so easy. And, the slippers in the welcome basket were a wonderful touch. Thank you so much.

Excellent cabin for large family

Every year our extended family rents a cabin on Lake CDA and this one has topped all of the previous spots. The cabin slept everyone comfortably and the location is the absolute best. The home had everything we needed for cooking, water fun, and even indoor games for the day we got rained on. Kelly was a great host!

Lake getaway

This house is the perfect Lake CDA house! The house has lots of room for a large group and is in the perfect location. The kitchen is well stocked, and the owner has added all the special touches. The beach area has sand and shallow water for young kids. There are plenty of water toys renters can use as well. This is our 2nd year, and we are booking for next year, too!

Excellent Family Home and Location!

Our family had an amazing time. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for a family with children. The house was well stocked and furnished. The boat dock was perfect for our boat and Jet skis. Kelly was super helpful and responsive. We will definitely be coming back!!!

The Ideal Lake Getaway

Our group couldn't have been more pleased by the location, atmosphere and amenities of Ellen's Escape. Everything worked out perfectly for our group. There were a lot of boats on the lake over the weekend (as to be expected), so it's a good thing we had two days (Thursday and Friday), in addition to the weekend stay. The The neighbors were quiet, so there was no problem from noise. Everyone in our group had a great day, and we look forward to being able to visit again, hopefully, next summer.

Great family gathering destination

This was a great property to gather together with family and friends and enjoy the lake. We had a group ranging in age from 20 to 85 and all were able to enjoy the property. The entire stay from check in to check out went smooth. The property was clean and comfortable with a great dock and swimming area. There was plenty of parking, including covered parking for 2 vehicles.

"Strangers are friends you haven't met yet"

Why they chose this property

We love this part of Lake Coeur d' Alene. It is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Coeur d' Alene and Spokane but close enough we can get away for the weekend. There is something special about waking up to the sounds of the waves washing up on shore when a fishing boat sails by or drinking your first cup of coffee watching the birds trying to find a fish. It is a little slice of heaven.

What makes this property unique

This home has a spectacular view of lake Coeur d" Alene that can be seen by the large windows off the kitchen and living room. You can sit in the kitchen overlooking the lake or on the full deck off the kitchen and take in the serenity of the lake. It sits on the peaceful part of the lake as it is in the no-wake zone with its own private beach and dock. We are a 5 minute walk away to Shooters, which serves speciality drinks at the bar or you can sit on the deck for a wonderful lunch or dinner. We also have provided everything that we can think of to make your stay worry free. We have 2 brand new couches, pool table, games, game room with TV and water toys to make your stay as fun as possible.
