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.

It was our first time visiting family in Coeur d’Alene and this house made our visit absolutely amazing. The house was beautiful, even our family living on the lake said they wish they were staying there with us. The neighborhood is quiet and close to everything it was such a great stay. 100% will be booking our next trip to Coeur d’Alene just to stay at this house again.
