Lodge, 3 Bedrooms + Bunk Area, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 8)
Stay at Watson’s Rose Lake Resort in a modern vacation apartment on the upper level of a historic inn along the White Pine Scenic Byway, 25 miles east of Coeur d’Alene. Three bedrooms and bunk area can accommodate up to eight people. There is an open kitchen stocked with everything you need except for the food. Two bathrooms one tub/shower. There is plenty of parking for your RV or boat.
Rail to trail cyclists will find us conveniently located between Harrison and Kellogg, Idaho, just two miles from the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes and 40 minutes by car from the Route of the Hiawatha. The inn is located at the base of Fourth of July Pass, where backpackers, ATV riders, and Nordic skiers will find a network of trails to explore. But you don’t have to go anywhere to have a great time at this relaxed and informal getaway. Float a boat, water ski, swim, or wet a line in Rose Lake, just steps away from the resort. Fry up your catch on the barbecue grill on the deck and take in the beautiful views of the lake and surrounding forest.
In winter, the Inland Northwest becomes a snow playground. Downhill skiers and boarders can use Watson’s as central base from which to sample the area’s five ski mountains: Silver Mountain, Lookout Pass, Schweitzer, Mount Spokane and 49 Degrees North. Nordic skiers can experience miles of trails just up the hill on Fourth of July Pass.
Also available is a complete “Rustic Bar” that can accommodate up to 50 persons (must be 21) along with bartender in your own private setting. (May not be available on certain days depending on season). The bar and lounge closes at 9:45pm sharp when guests are staying overnight.
There are also two small rustic cabins. Please contact us for information on these separate units.

Great place to relax
We stayed here for our girls weekend. (7 ladies)
The beds were comfy, the house was clean. We over looked the info that said what kitchen items were available, and brought easy oven dinners to find no oven, but excited to find the crockpot! The lake is beautiful, we spent most of our time lounging by the water. We also enjoyed talking to the locals that came up to see if the bar was open, evening walks accompanied by the neighborhood cat. The little cabins look pretty cute and cozy as well. We were bummed about the fire ban, because that fire pit looked awesome. We would stay here again.
John was very helpful when my mom would go over and ask questions ~ my only suggestion would be a few more big bowls in the kitchen :)
We had a great time
Beautiful cabin with an amazing view. It is beautifully furnished and perfect for all family sizes.
Anything my family forgot, it was provided in this cabin. It was very accommodating. I really enjoyed this stay, my family and I will be back next summer
Thank-you for the nice words and we're very happy you had a nice time. Look forward to seeing you again.😊
Great location close to I-90
There were so many beautiful lakes in the area! Between Coeur d' Alene and Wallace lots of things to see and do!
The lodge was clean and well appointed.
Thank you and it was very nice having you stay at our lodge. God bless you always,
John
Fantastic family vacation :)
Watson's Resort on Rose Lake is a charming, cozy lodge with character. We are a family of 7 and it housed us comfortably and perfectly. With 4 rooms (3 rooms with Queen beds and 1 with bunk beds), extra spacious full bath and one half bath, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, BBQ outside, and very friendly and hospitable property manager and neighbours, gorgeous lake view, clear blue skies and lots of sun, this is truly a hidden gem...just as Rose Lake and the whole Coeur D'Alene area are!!! The lodge sits on top of a tavern where great music is played on weekends, though they shut down things early for us (even though we wanted to hear more music!!!). We also had our first earthquake experience 11:30pm local time on July 5th (epicentre was about 250 miles away in Lincoln, Montana), and the lodge stood strong during the light shaking...another story for us to tell alongside all the fun memories we have of our time on the lake, Independence Day fireworks up close and personal right by the lodge with super-friendly Joe and neighbours (thanks so much!!), Silverwood Amusement Park and Boulder Beach Waterpark, day trip to Spokane, our exploration of Coeur D'Alene, and the celebration of our youngest son's 4th birthday!!
We will always remember your lodge, John!! Much appreciation for how you maintain your property and we hope to visit again in the future when we're in the Coeur D'Alene area. Our family loved it and for those of you considering Watson's Resort on Rose Lake...you will too!!!
Thank you Heather for your very thoughtful letter. We're so happy for your experience and it sounds you are blessed with a beautiful and loving family.
It sounds like you're a wonderful mother and care taker.
May you and your family be always watch over and protected,
John
Quiet, Comfortable Lodging on Rose Lake
Watsons Rose Lake Lodge is the place to stay for a quiet retreat. The lodge is located above an old tavern and has been fully remodeled with all the amenities. It is tucked away just up the hill from the boat landing. And is within a 30 mile drive to Coeur D' Alene. After playing all day....kayaks, paddle boards, swimming, it was a pleasure to come back to the Lodge and enjoy the camaraderie of a campfire. The Lodge has comfortable queen size beds, a set of bunks for the kids, an adequate, stocked kitchen and dining area for us to sleep and feed the adults and children in our group. The washer and dryer was nice to clean up swim suits and towels. And with 90 degree day time temperatures, was nice to have air conditioning. One thing to note, is the Lodge is off the grid with no access to Internet. However, the lodge care takers, Joe and Yvonne, were wonderful in providing all the information we needed about the area. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Great Stay!
Our stay was too short. The facilities were wonderful and the Resort was beautiful. Hope to stay longer next time. Thank you John. Vicky and the biking ladies.
