About this property
Lakeside Retreat in Downtown Coeur d'Alene with Beach Access & Hot Tub
Experience ideal lakeside life at the Downtown Lakefront Retreat—located directly in front of Lake Coeur d'Alene with Coeur d’Alene City Park and Fort Sherman Playground right across the street. In the highly sought-after Fort Grounds neighborhood, you'll be just steps from the beach, the park, and you’ll be within easy walking distance to miles of public beaches and the heart of downtown Coeur d’Alene. This home is truly in a dream location!
The home itself is just as alluring as the prime location. You’ll enjoy plenty of style and space in this two-lever rancher. Upon entering through the front door, you'll find an open living and dining area with comfortable seating, a fireplace, Smart TV, and views of both the park and the beach. The wooden dining table seats six beside a beautiful wall of built-in cabinets and a granite-top buffet. Continue down the tiled hall to find a large, open kitchen with granite countertops, high-end appliances, a wet bar, and a breakfast table with additional seating for four. Here you'll find access to the side patio with lounge chairs and outdoor dining for four with an umbrella for shade.
Around the corner, the master bedroom awaits with a king bed, desk and storage space, extra seating, and views of the lake. An ensuite bathroom boasts granite counters with a double sink, a large tiled shower, and a walk-in closet. You'll find a half bath across the hall.
Across from the kitchen, a den awaits with cozy seating, a desk space, and a full bath. Continue down the hall to find the back patio through the glass sliding door, where outdoor dining for six awaits beside a beautiful, vase water feature fountain. Kick back while dinner sizzles on the grill or venture out to the private hot tub, perfect for relaxing on a crisp evening.
A washroom with a full-sized washer and dryer, sink, and plenty of counter and cabinet space awaits at the end of the hall. Then, round the stairs to the lower level where even more space allows for play and more guests.
A large entertainment room with a flatscreen TV and leather seating provides a great space for relaxing with your favorite movie or TV show. There's even a table with seating for two for all your late-night snacking. Continue down the hall to find a full bathroom with a standing shower, a large bedroom with a King bed and smart TV, a room with two twins, and a large room with a queen bed, extra seating and a desk.
When you’re ready to take advantage of the incredible location, the options are endless. The downtown Coeur d’Alene area is less than 2 blocks from this home, including City Park right across the street with playground equipment and concerts every Sunday afternoon in the summer months, and large grassy lawns for throwing a football or frisbee, volleyball nets, and a sandy beach for swimming. Miles of public beaches, a dog park, Tubbs Hill (suitable for mild to wild hiking and swimming opportunities!), shopping for all ages, a variety of fantastic dining options, and more!

Really great stay: Location is unbeatable, house is big and comfortable, host communication was prompt and thorough. Will likely be staying again next year.
The location on lake CDA, walking distance to the shops and restaurants of downtown CDA was perfect for our stay. Beautiful views of the lake and a large park with children’s play area across the street. Home was clean and well appointed. Host responded to our 1 question promptly, check in and out was smooth. 5 star stay.

The owners did not tell me they had a gardeners come do an extensive project on the day I was planning a family birthday party I had to cancel the party because the noise was so loud Very disappointed
This house is fantastic! Steps away from the beach and one of the best playgrounds we have ever been to. This house certainly is not short on amenities and space. Our only two issues and why I only gave 4 stars were the mattresses were past their prime and could use an updating. The other issue is when downstairs, you hear every footstep upstairs. Normally not an issue, but 3 of the 4 bedrooms are downstairs.

Thanks for the 4‑star review. Glad the house’s location, playground, amenities, and space worked well for your stay. Sorry the mattresses felt past their prime and the upstairs foot traffic was disruptive. We’ll have our team inspect the mattresses. Hope to host you again.
The host was extremely helpful and communicative with us. The home was super clean and everything that had been written up about it in the description was right on.

Thank you for the great review. We're glad our communication was helpful, the home was super clean, and the description matched your stay. We hope to host you again.
Location, location, location! We absolutely loved staying here. Home is right off the city beach, park, and a short walk to downtown for your morning coffee or dinner.
This home is in a fabulous location with views through the windows to the lake on one side and the park and lake on another. It’s an easy walk to the hotel, marina, park and downtown. It’s spacious enough for a large group, but we had 3 couples and our goal when booking was for each couple to have their own bathroom. Because of the odd layout with one bedroom and 2 1/2 baths upstairs versus 3 bedrooms and 1 small bath downstairs, this created an awkward situation for one couple to have to go back and forth up and down the stairs. We did not pick up on this detail in the listing. It would be helpful to see floor plans for both floors in the gallery. We were able to do this on other homes which made it much clearer. The home was clean and kitchen well equipped and updated. The rest of the house could use some updating though. The property managers were very responsive. We had a tv problem and they had someone come by very quickly to fix it.

Thanks for the 4‑star review. Glad the location, lake and park views, walkability, and spacious layout worked well, and that the home was clean and the kitchen well equipped. Sorry the bedroom/bathroom layout created an awkward situation — we’ll try to update the listing to include floor plans for both levels so future guests can see the layout clearly. We’ll also review updates for the rest of the house. Glad our team could get the TV fixed quickly. Hope to host you again.
Our two family stayed in this home and we really enjoyed spending time at the beach, at the park and relaxing out front looking at the beautiful scenery.
Perfect location and the house was cleanEnjoyed the areaWould recommend brighter lights downstairs Loved the location Thank you and we left a game for your property
Fourth time staying at the house because it is comfortable with a great location -- on the lake, on the park and walking distance to the CDA Resort and town. Fun in summer and winter! A great stay as always!!
This large and comfortable home is a great gathering place to enjoy the lakeside city of Coeur D'Alene, ID. We held a family reunion in the house and its location was an easy few blocks to downtown stores and restaurants, as well as parks, walking trails on Tubbs Hill, the marina and the city beach. We really enjoyed our stay!
Property is in a great location. Walk to everything! Back patio was wonderful and private. While the house is still located steps from the beach. Could not ask for a better stay.
The house was very nice and the kitchen was well appointed. The hot tub was a great addition. The location is perfect for enjoying the views and happenings around CdA!
This home is cozy and comfortable. It felt like going to stay at Grandma's house. It was clean with comfortable beds. The location is perfect if you enjoy nature. We enjoyed walks on the beach as well as walks in the park. We look forward to staying in this home again.

Not well taken care of..had to call manager about windows not being clean, landscape extremely overgrown, Teflon pans that were scratched to extreme, refrigerator not working properly...a few other things as well....could not have asked for better location!!!
We went to CDA to golf and hang out with family. We brought our dogs and the back yard was perfect for them. The house was walking distance to town and right next to a park. There was plenty of space and even a garage.
Father’s Day weekend in CDA. It slept everyone great, we needed 4 bedrooms. We cooked breakfast and grilled steaks and house provided everything we needed. Loved walking downtown. Great house to people watch from as you are right on the lake and the park. Definitely would stay here again.
Perfect location and wonderful home! We had a wonderful time. The story of the home was the best! We realized our Grandparents were great friends with the owner’s family and for sure attended cocktail parties there. Our Grandparents were Ed and Ellen Gallivan❤️
This home has a beautiful location right across the street from Lake Couerd’alene. The size of the home held 8 of us comfortably.There are three bedrooms downstairs but only one restroom. There is an extra full bath upstairs, but kind of an odd location. We really enjoyed the location of the house and could walk so many places. We thought an upgrade in kitchen pans would be great.
Love the location and all the house inside and out.We stayed at this home 2 years ago and loved it.We tried to get it on Mothers day it was not available.
Next year we'll have to reserve it earlier so we can do it on Mothers day.
We all had a wonderful time!
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect, right at the lake. Our son enjoyed the amazing park right across the street & we all enjoyed walking on the beach across the street. It's perfect walking distance to all the downtown shopping & dining too. The house was clean & had plenty of space, plus a perfect yard for our toddler, & a hot tub! The house was also full of games for a family to play, perfect for rainy or cold days. & just open the curtains to take in the beautiful view of the lake & mountains.
