*Parking

Parking for 4–6 vehicles. Carport fits 1–2 cars with additional space nearby. Please keep all vehicles within the designated area and avoid blocking neighbors.

*Quiet Hours and Peaceful Enjoyment

To insure everyone (including our neighbors) can enjoy a restful stay, we kindly ask that noise levels remain low between 10 PM and 7 AM.

We have a noise monitor in place that helps us maintain the peaceful no-wake neighborhood. It simply blinks a light if noise exceeds the limit for 10 minutes during quiet hours. If the excessive noise continues, you’ll receive a friendly text, followed by a call if needed – just a gentle reminder so we can all keep enjoying the lake.

We completely understand large families and kids having fun! This policy is aimed at excessive noise, loud parties, or late-night gatherings that could disturb neighbors. One-time normal family sounds are never the issue.

** However, if the warnings are repeatedly ignored and the noise level has not reduced for over 30 minutes, we will have no choice but to enforce our policy: this may result in forfeiture of your security deposit and eviction **

Family-owned since 1983 and pet-friendly, Ellen’s Escape is ready for your unforgettable Coeur d’Alene lake vacation!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host profile image

Our family have been hosting guests since 2005. We love the interaction we have with potential guests and getting to enjoy our little piece of heaven.
Our goal is to treat every guest that enters our home as family. We have tried to think of every amenity that one would need so as to not have to worry about anything during your stay. If there is something you need or have any special requests, we will do our best to accommodate your request.


"Strangers are friends you haven't met yet"

Why they chose this property

We love this part of Lake Coeur d' Alene. It is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Coeur d' Alene and Spokane but close enough we can get away for the weekend. There is something special about waking up to the sounds of the waves washing up on shore when a fishing boat sails by or drinking your first cup of coffee watching the birds trying to find a fish. It is a little slice of heaven.

What makes this property unique

This home has a spectacular view of lake Coeur d" Alene that can be seen by the large windows off the kitchen and living room. You can sit in the kitchen overlooking the lake or on the full deck off the kitchen and take in the serenity of the lake. It sits on the peaceful part of the lake as it is in the no-wake zone with its own private beach and dock. We are a 5 minute walk away to Shooters, which serves speciality drinks at the bar or you can sit on the deck for a wonderful lunch or dinner. We also have provided everything that we can think of to make your stay worry free. We have 2 brand new couches, pool table, games, game room with TV and water toys to make your stay as fun as possible.
