Rare Find | Elegant Riverfront Retreat w/ Private Dock | Close to Downtown!

The River House - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho



Close proximity to Downtown Coeur d'Alene and sits on the Spokane River flowing into Lake Coeur d'Alene



2 BR 2BA / 2 Full Kitchens Sleeps 4



Welcome to your new happy place on the water! This bright and breezy lakefront retreat is tucked along a peaceful cove in Coeur d’Alene—close enough to town for ice cream runs, but just far enough away to pretend you’re living your best off-the-grid fantasy!



Experience the best of Coeur d’Alene from The River House on the peaceful shores just minutes from downtown. Tucked along a quiet lane and surrounded by towering pines, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and Idaho lake-life charm.



Step inside to warm, inviting interiors featuring panoramic windows that frame sweeping views of the sparkling water. The open-concept living area is ideal for relaxing after a day on the lake, with cozy seating, a stone-accented fireplace, and direct access to the expansive deck that stretches toward the shoreline.



Wake up each morning to golden sunlight glistening off the water, enjoy coffee on the deck, or head down to your private dock for swimming, kayaking, or simply soaking in the tranquility. In the evenings, gather by the fire pit, watch boats glide across the river, and take in unforgettable sunsets over the surrounding mountains.





Coeur d’Alene Lake: Coeur d’Alene Lake is 26 miles long with 135 miles of shoreline. It is a natural dam-controlled lake with plenty of space for recreational boating use. Coeur d’Alene Lake is known as the “Playground of the Pacific Northwest” where water skiing, tubing, and amazing sunsets take place. The scene is set with panoramic views of the climbing mountains, wildlife, and year-round access. Need help renting a boat? https://cdapontoons.com/



Spokane River: The Spokane River is a vibrant, scenic river that flows from Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho through the weaving together wild beauty and urban energy. Along its path, you’ll find forested banks, rugged basalt rock formations, gentle bends perfect for paddling, and dramatic drops that create some of the most photographed waterfalls in the Northwest. The river is a favorite for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and riverside walking, with miles of trails and viewpoints that showcase its ever-changing personality. Whether it’s calm and shimmering in the morning light or roaring through downtown during spring runoff, the Spokane River is a stunning, dynamic centerpiece of the Inland Northwest.





What’s nearby:




This home is a quick drive to downtown Coeur d'Alene and the beautiful views of Coeur d’Alene Lake. The city of Coeur d’Alene has an active downtown scene, many great restaurants, and lots of local shops. You will also be minutes from numerous trailheads for hiking or mountain biking. This area is known for the four season weather showing bright, white snow in the winter, beautiful blooming and green grass in the spring, sunshine and heat in the summer, and colorful turning leaves with a slight chill in the fall.
Take a drive north to the great Silverwood Theme Park and Boulder Beach Water Park. Get your adrenaline pumping with a Zip Line Tour or find relaxation on a sunset cruise across Coeur d’Alene Lake. This area has it all!
