Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1952
Why the Owner Chose Coeur d'Alene
My parents purchased the lake front lot in 1952, the year I was born. I have been privileged to grow up in this wonderful environment in the summers. I have continually updated the cottage through the years to keep it modern. My aunts and uncles also purchased property near and I was fortunate to get to know many of my cousins as we played together in the summers.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
We love to swim, hike, boat, water ski, jet ski, but mostly just relaxing with a cool beverage and enjoying the environment. Family always is a wonderful ingredient for the best memories.
100 front feet on Beautiful Coeur d'alene Lake with 700 feet of boat dock. Google Earth will show you the gorgious weeping willow tree on the beach for the ones who love shade like me.
Owner's Map of Coeur d'Alene
Hello from Leo, Janet and our dog Moose. We are empty nesters and have hosted WHL Junior League Hockey players from Canada and Czech Republic for the last 10 years with much enthusiasm. We enjoy going to the games and having a personal interest in the teams success. I am a real estate appraiser and specialize in water front properties due to my passion for our lake cottage in Coeur d'Alene and the beauty of being around lakes and outdoors. My wife is a manager of Homestead Birkenstock Store in Northtown Mall in Spokane were we live. We enjoy going to the cottage in the summer and sharing it gives us joy along with helping with the cost. We have had many years of plesant memories on the lake and hope that if you come stay you will have similar fun times as we have with our family. Come prepared to relax in a private getaway with a serene beauty that calms the soul. Best Regards
The Green Family

The Most Relaxing Holiday Ever!

(Airdrie, Alberta Canada)
Date of Stay: 07/16/11
Review Submitted: 08/25/11
Amazing, Beautiful, Breath Taking... I could really go on and on! We were blown away by the breathtaking view!!! Janet and Leo made our holiday so easy and no stress at all. Their 'Little Piece of Heaven' really is just that! We went with little children; a 5 month old, 2 year old twins, a 3 year old and a 6 year old and it was perfect! So much for them to do and the walk down to the lake made it a fun adventure for them. We plan on going back again and again!
Owner response:Thank you for the pleasure that I get with people that enjoy my cottage like I do.

Our stay was excellent. Weather was kind of cold, but there were plenty of wetsuits for kids and adults to still be able to enjoy the paddle board, and kayacks we rented. The view was spectacular. Plenty of room for the eight of us. Improved my cardio by ten fold going up and down those 50 plus steps to dock and car.

Our time spent at this property was a highlight for us. You could not ask for a better set up for a deck area. It has so many pluses, the main one being a perfect spot to watch a sunset, and believe us when we say there were many in the 2 weeks we spent here. Plus, too, the willow tree down by the dock area is a beautiful spot to sit and relax. You're only minutes away from Tony's at the Lake or the Coeur d'Alene Resort by boat. All in all, we would have to say that this is a little piece of heaven away from home.

fantastic relaxing vacation

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Green's cottage. The rock garden as you come down the hill is beautiful and and attracts many humming birds. The views are even more beautiful than the photos and we saw many eagles and deer. Everything we needed was there! We just brought our clothes and food. We also rented the studio unit and this provided extra space for our large family. We have stayed at many fantastic, 5 star resorts and this property is right up there - not much to ask for. It is clean and well maintained, beatuiful bedding, beach towels, kirchen supplies, patio sets, flower pots, etc. We received great information about some of the nearby activities and good resturants along the lake. It was so convenient to be able to rent kayaks right there, we really had fun checking out the bay. Not many ski boats come in even though there is a gas dock at the private marina. So water is pretty smooth and with the hot weather arriving the lake is quickly warming up for swimming. We enjoyed camp fires on the beach and also made smores at the fire pit right by the cabin. Thank you for sharing your beautiful lake cottage with us. Our family has many great memories to take home with us. We will definitely come back. We will tell friends about your beautiful cottage but only after we have reserved our vacation. It was also great to have such a quick return on our deposit- it's like we got paid for a fabulous vacation.
Owner response:Thank you for your glowing discription of the closest that I get to heaven on earth. I get great pleasure from most of the people that rent the cottage particularly when they enjoy it as much as your family. I will accomodate your families needs in the future as well as possible and look forward to your return visits. If it werent for people like you I would not be able to afford this luxury. I will say with ernest I never take it for granted and pinch myself constantly to make sure it is real when I relax at the cottage. Best wishes and thanks again for your kind words. Leo& Janet

My family and I have been blessed & lucky to spend several summer vacations at a this fantastic lake cottage. It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places we have ever been - Mexico, Hawaii and the Carribean can't top this. Ospreys, hummingbirds, swallows, deer, beaver - you name it, it's there. Everywhere you look there are gorgeous views from the deck and cottage. The bay is great for swimming, boating, jet skiing and the dock and beach offer fantastic tanning areas. The addition of the daylight unit really makes the cottage a great multi-family rental with plenty of space and privacy for adults and kids alike. Everything we needed was there, and it was nice and clean. We just bring our suits and food. Please save me my favorite week, Leo!!!

Couer D' Alene Vacation
Guest: none
(Seattlw/tacoma)
Date of Stay: 07/31/10
Review Submitted: 08/14/10
It's been two years since we've been able to come back up to Couer D' Alene for a week and I am sure glad we got this wonderful cottage! We were abe to get 7 people and two dogs in the top half of the cottage and everyone was comfortable. I love the location of the lake. It's close to town and is a great area to go wakeboarding in the morning. The cottage is also a short drive to silverwood which we had a great time there. When we got to the cottage the Greene's were very hospitable. Thank you for such a great place to stay for the week.
Owner response:My wife cleaned after you left and was so impressed she sent your deposit back that day. We can only say thank you for leaving the cottage as if it were your own. Please come back anytime. Best Regards, Leo & Janet

Summer Fun

Review Submitted: 08/09/10
Our family enjoyed a wonderful week on the lake. The 3 year old kept us all busy and the 6 month old enjoyed the air conditioning when it got too hot. Spent most of our time at the cabin or the water and enjoyed a nice week. The water was incredible. Very nice to swim in. Took the Pirate Cruise in town with the 3 year old and she loved it. We also went to Harrison one day and really enjoyed that little town. If you go there have a bike to use the wonderful bike trail. The humming birds at the cabin were definately entertaining.
Owner response:Thanks for taking the time to help us promote our cottage. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. It is a pleasure to have people like yourselves stay and hope that you come back. Sincerely, Leo

May Stay On the Lake
Guest: Adventurous Old Folks
(Boise, Idaho, Sacramento California)
Date of Stay: 05/13/10
Review Submitted: 06/01/10
My cousin, our wives and I just spent 10 delightful days in this lakefront cottage. The stay was most enjoyable. The cabin is totally furnished right down to the helpful binoculars. We especially enjoyed the hummingbirds on the deck. We docked our boat at the property and enjoyed our time spent on the water. The owners are delightful and most helpful. As with most properties on Coeur d'Alene, there is a pretty good climb to the cabin from the road and from the cabin to the lake. We left the better for the exercise but wouldn't recommend it for the handicapped or infirm. If you are interested in spending time in this area, this is definitely the place.
Owner response:Thank you for your positive comments of your experience at our cottage. I enjoyed communicating with you through the booking process and overview of the property. Your call to me to inform me of the flying pigs eating you out of house and home (Hummingbirds) at the feeder on the deck was a chuckle for my wife and I. As I extended you an invitation for next year, please come back again when the pigs fly. Ha Ha. Thank you for the neat and tidy way you left the cottage. It is very much appreciated and a pleasure to have made your acquaintance. Best regards, Leo & Janet
