About this property

6 Houses from City Beach - the Doctors' Inn!

This spacious house has almost always been the home of a doctor, beginning with Dr Dwyer in the 1920's, Dr Carlson in the 1940's, and Dr Don and Dr Jane Gumprecht in 1951.

The Gumprecht children, three of whom are themselves doctors, now offer this gracious accommodation for your vacation enjoyment. Situated in the historic, peaceful Fort Grounds Neighborhood, it is right in the middle of all that makes Coeur d'Alene famous.

The neighborhood was born before the automobile, when everyone walked. It remains within easy walking distance of most everything. Confirm this by doing a map search of Military Drive. Then review the web sites of the CDA Visitors Bureau and the nearby Coeur d'Alene Resort for a complete run down of the area's attractions, close in and farther out, summer and winter.

If you can tolerate purple prose, read VRBO listing #185852 for further descriptions of neighborhood history. The Doctors' Inn has been refurbished with one new and one renovated bathroom (the half bath retains its 1957 pink glory). The kitchen appliances are new.

There are now 3 cable TV's, Broadband, a game room with foosball, Wii, board games, cards, toys, and the like. Sleeping space is ample and we are pleased with the preparations made to accommodate families with small children. We intend for everyone to have a vacation of cherished memories.

Spacious, Clean, and Nostalgic – A Perfect Stay

This was our third time staying at the Dr's Inn, and once again, it did not disappoint. The house is a delightful throwback to the 70's and 80's, which we absolutely love. It's spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean. Everything we needed was right there, making our stay incredibly convenient and stress-free. The neighborhood is terrific, adding to the overall experience. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a comfortable and nostalgic stay in Coeur d'Alene. We'll definitely be back!

Girlfriends weekend

We had a great time. 6 best friends, class of 1976. We had no problem with the stairs and walked everywhere in spite of the heatwave. Enjoyed the comfy patio furniture every night and were very grateful for the excellent air conditioning.

The Charming Dr's Inn

Lovely period home like walking back in time but charming through and through. This home had a well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and tons of space, and was a hit with our family during our reunion in Couer D'Alane this summer. No need to drive to the beach as a short walk brings you to the water's edge in 5 minutes. Would reccommend this for all ages of family members.

Fantastic Location

Charming place with a wonderful history. Plenty of room for all 10 of us. Accommodating for children but not great for the elderly because of a lot of stairs. Well appointed.

Our home away from home!

Love love love the Doctor’s Inn. I hesitate to write a raving review because selfishly I don’t want to ever lose our annual spot here. This home is a walk back into simpler, lovely, family times. We refer to this house and town as “Our happy place”. Roni, remember to keep our yearly spot please please please!

Perfect Location, Perfect Host

We LOVED this property. It is right in the middle of everything. You can walk to the beach, park, downtown, everything. Roni was extremely understanding when we had an unfortunate incident (sick baby) early on the morning of our departure. Roni was available to answer any and all questions immediately. There were so many dishes, the kitchen has everything you need. Enough towels for days! Thank you for sharing your property with us, Roni.

Family Home for a Family Vacation

The house was clearly a family home and was a good fit for our family vacation with our three adult children and two grandchildren. Close to the lake and the park which made for an easy walk. Plenty of space for everyone. Well equipped kitchen made for easy meal prep.

Can't Wait to Come Back

This was the perfect family vacation for us. Everyone had their own space, we fit around the dining table and played games in the living room. We loved being so near the beach and town. I can't recommend this house enough for family vacations.

Great Place to Stay Near Coeur d'Alene

This was a great place to stay with multiple people. One of the things that stood out was how this place had pretty much everything. The house was clean and had very unique character. If we are ever back in the area with a large group this place would be top on the list.

About the host

Hosted by Roni Young

Host profile image
Dr Donald M. Gumprecht and Dr Jane Gumprecht purchased this house in 1951 and raised a family of four: Donald George, Ruth, Tom, and Ernest. The boys went on to become physicians and Ruth's daughter, Heather, is a physician as well. Interestingly, two prior doctors had owned the house earlier in the 20th century also. In order to keep the house in the family and preserve it for family gatherings, the Gumprecht children have decided to offer it for vacation rental. As such, it is suitable for use by other parties with similar needs, particularly families with children. Many small Gumprecht feet have padded their way to the beach, the park, and downtown.

Why they chose this property

The city of Coeur d'Alene grew next to Fort Sherman out of which eventually was subdivided the Fort Grounds neighborhood. This explains why the location of the Doctors' Inn is so close to all of the attractions that make Coeur d'Alend famous: the beach, the park, excursion boat rides, downtown shops and eateries to name a few. Of necessity everything was within walking distance in the early days and it remains so today.

What makes this property unique

6 bedrooms sleep 11 with 3 tv's a basement game room (tv, wii, foosball, airhockey board games, cards, toys). An ample dining room with large table, good-sized tv room, large living room, sun room with tv, proximity to the Coeur d'Alene Resort, all of the downtown and waterfront activities.
