Visit with family & bike the trails

Nice location with good access for bike trails & shopping. House is comfortably furnished & roomy even when it’s too cool outside to take advantage of the lovely outdoor seating areas. Our only issue was low water pressure. Particularly in upstairs bathroom. Not sure if that was a municipal issue.

Top house we have rented…

We absolutely loved this home! It was a convenient spot, close to family who live in CDA and close to downtown. The home was nicely decorated, had excellent main level living, dining, gathering space and the kitchen was nicely equipped-we all like to cook! Hosts were very nice and very responsive! Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Excellent stay.

The home was very nice and clean but not close enough for us to walk to the lake or downtown area. The home is located in an area that is being rehabilitated. We felt very safe and comfortable.

Great property

This was a great place to stay with my family. The location was convenient. The house was darling. There was plenty of bed space and the living area was open and really conducive to great family time. We really appreciated the backyard play space and the board games. Had a small issue with the grill and the owner was very responsive and helpful. Next time we're in Coeur d'Alene we will definitely rebook!

Our Experience

When departing we emailed the owner that the garburetor wasn't working. We did not damage it, but the owner claimed repair on a damage insurance policy I HAD PAID FOR. She used a policy procured by renters for routine repairs to her revenue-producing personal property. And that without the decency to communicate with us about her intentions This is not honorable. Huge red flag!

Most Excellent Stay

This house rental was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. 7 of my family members stayed here and it was perfect. We especially loved the outdoor space both on the front porch and backyard which we used a lot. The house was well stocked, and even included board games and a large table to play. The neighborhood was nice and the house was super convenient to downtown Couer d'alene and the lake. Would definitely consider this rental for a future stay.

All it's rated as!

We wanted a place to stay with our friends while we visited the Coeur d'alene area. This home gave us the comfort we were looking for when we came in for the evening. The bed's were comfortable! The only thing that I would recommend is that they upgrade the pillows in the room at the top of the stairs ;-)

Spacious and beautiful

We had a lovely time at Fat Louie’s Retreat. The place was spotless and it feels more spacious than the photos look. We had 7 people staying and it didn’t feel cramped. The front and back yard space was beautiful. The AC and Wi-Fi were perfect, and the kitchen is well stocked. I highly recommend this place.

Perfect!

We loved everything about this vacation rental. It was a great set up, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with anything you could need or want on a vacation. It was cozy, comfortable and relaxing. We can’t wait to go back to CDA (when the weather allows us to enjoy the lake,) and stay here again. The only complaint I have is that the back gate doesn’t latch, so even though property is pet friendly, the yard isn’t pet safe.
