Elegant Cottage Near Downtown Coeur D' Alene
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Coeur d'Alene
Our cottage on 8th Street is really special. We spent 14 months remodeling the home both inside and out. Previous owners dating back decades would drop by and introduce themselves and tell of great stories of raising their children in this home. They very much appreciated the improvements that we made.
Of course the location is perfect. The home is on a quiet street but only 3 blocks from Sherman Avenue where all the stores, coffee shops, and restaurants are located.
The Unique Benefits at this House
From our cottage our guests love to take leisurely walks into town. No need for a car. Tubbs Hill nature walk is a really popular activity. Our home is fully fenced in and you have privacy in the back yard while cooking on our grill. Everyone really enjoys the home audio system. Mom can soak in the claw foot tub listening to Mozart while Dad is in the kitchen listening to 80’s rock while cooking for the family.
This is the location of our other rental property VRBO listing #97478 which can sleep up to 11.

This charming home made our stay special. It is the home of my dreams and for a week I was able to live my dream. The neighborhood with the mature trees is a perfect setting. The porch swing is delightful. Thank you for sharing your home and we look forward to our next visit soon. – From Guestbook -

This house met all of our expectations. We loved our week here in Coeur d’ Alene. The kids favorite activities were kayaking, the route of the Hiawatha bike ride, and hanging out at the house. They controlled the surround sound and television right away. The beds are very comfortable – we slept late everyday. The kitchen is very well appointed. We ate in all but one night and enjoyed the house while we cooked. – From Guestbook -

All the things I like about the house is the color of the wallpaper, the design of the bedspreads, the porch, the kitchen, and last but not least the technology. – From Guestbook -

What a wonderful vacation! Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful home. All of the renovations and upgrades made our stay most comfortable and enjoyable. This was the first vacation that we spent with my sister, brother in law and two nephews and it could not have been better. The weather was fantastic and we were on the go during the day and relaxing here in the evenings. CDA is beautiful. We will be back again!. Than you Phil, Jan, and Jim for all of your hospitality, knowledge, and making us feel welcome! – From Guestbook -

We spent a week in this lovely house. My friend’s teenage daughter saw the picture on the web and said it looked like something from “Gilmore Girls.” Each morning I enjoyed snuggling with my 6 year old on the front porch swing, which will be my favorite memory. My husband cooked for us all on the outdoor grill. A lovely, well-appointed home and we are so glad we picked it. We enjoyed lake fishing with a guide and caught several pike. We also enjoyed the silver mine tour in Wallace. Overall, a very peaceful and relaxing stay, especially this home. I know everyone says it is hot here, but we go back to 103 degree. The “cool” weather was great. – From Guestbook -
