Surrounded in the Pines with Occasional Wildlife; this spacious and well appointed family home is a favorite for May-Sept family fun with wireless internet access (only 1 of 2 vacation homes at the lake). Leave your computer at home a new Laptop is provided at no charge. This Coeur d'Alene Lake home is located in a small private secure lake community that comes with many amenities for Family Enjoyment starting with a great room with vaulted Cedar ceilings, a wall of windows with views of mountains and the Lake with a rock floor to ceiling gas fireplace.
Most recreational and leisure amenities are provided within the home which include board games, bicycles, foosball, shuffleboard, air hockey, ping pong, television, Wii game console, games, darts,
books, and a music library for the stereo. Many of our guests just enjoy sitting around the gas outdoor firepit at night, in a sky so black under an umbrella of stars where you can't hear a thing.
Several of our guests enjoy fishing off the docks (4 poles provided) or taking the bikes(6 provided)to the 'Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes' about 12 mile drive to bike downhill to a park for lunch then cross the lake to Harrison for ice cream and then be picked up by their boat back to Cave Bay.
Private lake access is .5 mile from the home. There is a park/community (only for residents/guests) beach with swings, firepit, volleyball court and picnic tables and a roped off area for children to swim in, all within walking distance or you can drive (with small children)
If you are interested in renting a boat while at Retreat at the Lake, you can try High Water Adventures at Harrison. VRBO will not allow us to put the link here but it can be found at our web site listed below. If you book the boat before May 1st they will give you a 20% discount. They will deliver the boat to Cave Bay and pick up the boat when you are done for an extra 50.00. Well worth the price since you would have to drive all the way around the lake to Harrison (at least a 45 minute drive one way) to pick up the boat. If you rent the boat for more than one day they will waive the 50.00 drop off and pick up fee. Ask for Russell

Wow! everything was simply great. Listing description very accurate, when they say they have everything they mean it. The house was spotless, modern and fantastic views. The owner was extreamly helpfull and answered everything in a very prompt manner. Would I recommend this property? Yes, in a heart beat. Go hang out in Couer d'lane for the day, great beach downtown, if you don't have a boat make sure you rent one for the day to explore the lake. The rest of the time was spent hang out at the house playing games and sleeping in the hammock :))) Knight/Collins family

Brought the family of seven to the lake for a week from Washington state and had a great time. The house had everything we could need for everyone (not easy when the kids range in age from 14 to 4) and matched the online description. The house was in great shape and the owners answered several questions via phone and e-mail during the week (very helpful). We highly recommend this house to anyone with large families like ours. All you need to bring is clothing and food; everything else is provided!!!! We went to Silverwood, Hayden State Park, Coeur d'Alene, and we fished a lot; but our favorite thing to do was enjoy time with the family. The house is loaded with games and fun for all ages.

This house was fantastic! Our group of seven adults and three small children had a wonderful stay. Upon entering the home when we first arrived, it was evident that the property is well-maintained and the house was very clean. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed, from condiments in the refrigerator, to CD's and movies, to toys and books for the kids. We were given peace of mind with the child proofed cupboards and the baby gates that were provided. The listing quite accurately describes all of the amenities the house has to offer, nothing was missing. We were all extremely comfortable and there was lots of space for everybody. Days were spent at the nearby beach, going for walks or taking a couple of day trips into Coeur d'Alene. Nights were spent relaxing around the fire pit or playing board games. I will absolutely be recommending this property to friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a beautiful home in a great community. I took my 3 grandsons and we all had a terrific time. Not once did I hear "I'm bored." Everything they could want to do was there. Bikes, fishing poles, games. It was easy to cook with all the condiments. I was so pleased to find everything we needed from cinnamon to tylenol. The layout of the home makes it easy to be together or have some privacy. We hope to go again.

My husband and I brought our children and young grandchildren and the house was set up nicely for all ages. The lake was only a short walk away which was very nice. Property is somewhat close to local activities. We enjoyed the games in the garage and just spending quality time with our family. The owners are very nice and I would reccomend this house to a lot of people. Everyone had a blast! Thanks for opening your home to us!

The house was very accomodating and in great repair. Tons of games and music available as well as a Karaoke machine. I was very pleased to find a main living area WITHOUT a TV. Wireless internet was also a perk most places still don't have. Overall, I would stay there again and found it very hard to leave.

The perfect family/multi-family vacation stay

Review Submitted: 07/31/10
We were amazed at everything that the house had! Very clean, great view of the lake, and close to Coeur D'Alene. The beach was a little disappointing (lots of seaweed, little sand), but we found an excellent one 25 minutes away. There was everything here for the kids to do. It definately exceeded our expectations....and more!

Another Great Trip to Retreat at the Lake

Our second trip to Retreat at the Lake was again perfect. We had great weather and were entertained the entire time. The house has everything that you could possibly imagine at a lake house. We played hours of ping pong at night and spent the days at the swim beach with the kids. We will definitely be returning in 2 years as Coeur d'Alene is our destination of choice every other year. The lake is just so beautiful...even for Colorado people.

We brought things that we though we would need, but it was all here...from soup to nuts as the expressions goes.
