Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re glad The Beach Cottage’s location and bright, welcoming spaces made your stay easy — walking to Stubbs Hill, the beach, downtown, and McEuan Park sounds ideal. Happy the backyard, BBQ, and spacious yard were a hit for you and your dog, and that you enjoyed cycling the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Clean, charming, in a great location.

This house is well stocked, very clean, and has a beautiful back yard. We stayed for 4 days while looking at some nearby colleges for our daughter. The location is great and the house was perfect for our visit..

Perfect house

This was the perfect house in a great neighborhood. Just a few blocks from everything - the lake, Tubbs Hill, the Main Street, etc. But it was still quiet and relaxing. The house is precious, and the backyard is gorgeous. Our fur baby loved running around!

Great house at a great location

The property is located within minutes of downtown Coeur d’Alene, and within walking distance to the beach. The backyard is fantastic to hang out and relax with a fire pit and waterfall feature. The home itself was extremely clean, and the kitchen had everything you need to cook a meal. Bathrooms were immaculate. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great time!

Thanksgiving in Coeur d Alene

We had a fantastic stay. The house has a great yard. My daughter and I brought our dogs. We never had to . worry about them getting out. The location of the house was in a nice quiet neighborhood but only a few miles to shopping and restaurants

Wonderful stay in a very cozy near downtown

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was cozy and clean, and was so well equipped. Especially the kitchen, there were so many cooking implements and equipment. This was greatly appreciated, as I and my friend are serious cooks, and we found almost everything we needed to prepare our meals. There is a Traeger smoker as well as a BBQ grill, many games and books, extra blankets everywhere, comfortable beds and bedding, wonderful fenced in yard with a lovely fountain and a doggie door for our pooch. We had such a lovely stay in this cottage.

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved the home. As dog people, having the dog door into the back yard was the #1 reason we chose this one. It is a small cottage, not a 3,000 foot home, but was perfect for a short stay. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. The grill cooked some amazing chicken. Our daughter flew in from Florida and the basement suite was perfect for her. The only issue was the head room on the stairs going down, but they even included a cute “Watch You Head” sign. There were a few very minor questions we had and the management teams was VERY responsive. If you are a walker, especially a dog walker, it is a great walking neighborhood. Everyone was friendly except for the flock of wild turkeys around the corner. They for some reason did not want to play with my lab mix. And it is just four blocks to the Tubbs Hill trail system on the edge of the lake. It is a moderately steep but short climb to the top of the hill or you can stay level and take the two mile walk around the hill along the lakeshore. If you are looking for a cozy cottage to have a quiet hideaway, this is it. And if the weather is nice, the back yard is even more welcoming than the inside. It’s fenced and great for kids or dogs. If you would like to go out for food or shopping, there are lots of one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants in the ¾ mile between home and the Coeur d’Alene resort. There is a definite reason this home has 10/10 reviews.

Thank you for the incredible 5-star review! We’re glad the cottage was the perfect fit for your week and that the dog door and fenced backyard worked so well for your lab. Happy to hear the kitchen, grill, and basement suite met your needs, and that our team was responsive to your questions. We appreciate the note about the stair headroom — glad the sign helped — and loved hearing about your walks to Tubbs Hill and the nearby shops. Thanks for the kind words; we’d love to host you again.

great for pups/super clean and updated.

This was a very updated and very nice property. Everything was new and clean. Backyard was great with the waterfall. Communication was outstanding after we checked out. Stairs a little steep for our little pups, but we blocked it. Otherwise no complaints.

All was great!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. We spent a good deal of time sitting in your beautiful backyard listening to the babbling brook! We also loved the fact that it was easy to walk to town and to the lake through charming neighborhoods. Suggestions: trash can needed in the downstairs bathroom, note somehow that kitchen light is behind refrigerator(silly us we couldn't find it!), note to seniors that stairs going to 2nd bedroom are challenging(our friends could not have used that bedroom...steps narrow and ceiling height in stairwell is low.)

Great location!

This house was perfect for what we needed! Was very well decorated and had everything we could need in a rental. The location was great for taking walks to the beach and to go get ice cream from Rogers which was a couple of blocks away. The backyard was great as well! Highly recommend! Thank you again.

Great location within walking distance to the lake and downtown CDA! The house was well-stocked and very clean. Had a fenced-in backyard, which was perfect for our two kids and dog.
