Coeur d'Alene Idaho

Awaken to a sun-drenched bedroom view of Lake Coeur d'Alene. Sip morning coffee in one of the lake-view sunrooms. Take an early, refreshing dip in the lake, have lunch at a nearby sidewalk cafe, or the incomparable Hudson's Hamburgers, and plan a day at the beach or seeing the sights. Later, walk across the park for a supper cruise or an evening of downtown dining and entertainment, then stroll home with the moon reflected across the shimmering water. Fall asleep with the stars shining through the skylight. The recently refurbished Gumprecht Beach House is situated on the shore of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene in picturesque Northern Idaho. It offers spectacular views with comfortable and spacious, family-friendly accommodations plus close proximity to downtown shops and restaurants as well as the amenities of the famous Coeur d'Alene Resort. Enjoy water sports, lake cruises, bike trails, hiking, golf, antique shops, museums, art shows, performing arts, snow skiing and nature's beauty.

We are making a special effort to be both family-friendly as well as enjoyable for any party of adults, the vacation of cherished memories. The house is located but a short walk from all the fun and relaxation that Coeur d'Alene is known for. Families will find a game room with foosball, air hockey, kids' TV, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, DVD, kids videos, card games, board games, I-Pod dock, as well as a high chair, booster seat, kids dishes and sippy cups, portable crib, and training seat. There is a family room just off the kitchen with a blue-ray DVD player and home theater system. Adult board and card games are available. A total of 4 TV's ensure that the men, the women, and the kids can all watch their shows or videos. There is off street parking for 6 vehicles and the back fence opens on hinges to allow RV or boat parking.

The Gumprecht Beach House is situated on property that once was part of Fort Sherman, established in 1878 to protect settlers. Eventually the property was auctioned and subdivided, creating the historic "Fort Grounds" neighborhood. Recently extensively renovated and refurbished, the house was originally constructed in 1907 as the first private beach home. It was built on the pick of the lots, and, consequently, enjoys unsurpassed views of beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene from 3 of the 5 bedrooms (including the fully-appointed 3rd floor master suite), 2 lake-view parlors, 2 lake-view sunrooms, and the east stairwell where a view of the famous Coeur d'Alene Resort is framed by the windows. The Gumprecht House is located on the beach, not near the beach, and the beach is a part of the property right down to the water line. The start for the Ironman Triathalon is located just across the street where also passes the 24-mile Centennial Trail. Within 4 blocks are the city park with bandshell and quaint children's playground (modeled after Fort Sherman), the city beach with lifeguards (in season), the Tubbs Hill nature preserve, downtown shops, sidewalk cafes, the very famous Hudson's Hamburgers (since 1907, 5th generation, a "must"--written up in many national publications including The Boston Globe, USA Today, Gourmet Magazine, Sunset, and named by the food editor of the Wall Street Journal as the best $2 hamburger in America), upscale dining and bistros, a community college with art fairs and performing arts, seaplane tours, cruise boats for sightseeing or supper cruises, parasailing, windsurfing, jet ski and boat rental, guided fishing, a micro brewery, and the world-famous Coeur d'Alene Resort. The Rotary tennis courts and the public library are 8 blocks.

A beautiful,immaculately-maintained public golf course is 3 miles and several nationally acclaimed courses are within an easy drive. In winter, the Resort sponsors heart-warming Holiday activities. Snow skiing is just a 25 mile ride up I-90 to the base of the world's longest gondola which takes you to the top of Silver Mountain. Schweitzer Basin is roughly 56 miles north off Highway 95. For further information see our Website and those of the Coeur d'Alene Visitors Bureau and the Coeur d'Alene Resort. In the midst of this near-paradise, we offer a friendly vacation home.
