This place is spectacular. It truly is a home away from home. We made a cross-country move and the house we were going to be living in was not ready. We booked this place for two weeks and it was absolutely perfect. The neighborhood is great and there is so much to do within a short distance from the property. It was perfect.

Fantastic Home Base in Coeur d’Alene

We had a wonderful stay at this Coeur d’Alene property. The location is unbeatable, just minutes from downtown and the lake, making it super easy to explore the area. The home was clean, comfortable, and packed with thoughtful amenities. We loved the air hockey table and kayaks, which added a fun, active touch to our stay. One of our favorite features was the incredible coffee bar. It had everything a coffee lover could ask for. And the dog room? Absolutely adorable. It’s clear the hosts put a lot of care into creating a space that’s both stylish and welcoming. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Coeur d’Alene.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Washing the pots, pans, etc. took a long time though due to weak water pressure at the sink. We enjoyed playing air hockey in the garage but for a limited time bec the garage was filthy (dust, trash, cobwebs, etc.) For the amount we paid each night, we would have expected better. But overall, it was acceptable.

We had a great time here, and would definitely book again when back in the area. Everything we could wish for was in the well-stocked kitchen. The decorating was beautiful, thoughtful towel placement everywhere was helpful, and the couches and beds were very comfortable! We had a wonderful stay.
