Perfect stay in Coeur d'Alene

Although we only stayed two nights, we thoroughly enjoyed Coeur d'Alene and the Loft!! The location was great for walking to the shoreline and downtown locations. Two "must-do's" were the dinner cruise and the Dr. Bird Aviation Museum at the airport. The loft had everything we needed to make the stay super comfortable!!

Hidden Gem

We had a great time during our stay at the Loft. It is a home away from home, and David is an excellent host providing great amenities for the outdoors. Our visit was mainly to see our son, but we did so much more in this lakefront town of Couer d'Alene. The loft had everything we needed for the perfect visit!

Private & Spacious

My 23 year old daughter & I drove over from Montana to enjoy a few days on the lake. This place is super close to everything & walkable to the beach. The upstairs covered deck was super sweet in the morning & at night. The property is well stocked and very comfortable. We met the host & he was very kind. 10 thumbs up! Thanks so much!

Quaint loft for 2

David was a gracious host. He communicated quickly when we noticed the AC was not working. He had a repair person out quickly to fix it; which we were grateful for after a long day of exploring CDA in the heat. We stayed 4 nights. It was a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to CDA lake. We would definitely stay again!

Cute studio apartment above the garage

Great location. Quiet and private. I had everything I needed. A five minute drive to Tubbs Hill where you can swim, cliff jump, rent a paddleboard or kayak nearby. The beach two blocks down from the apartment doesn't allow dogs. But I preferred Tubbs Hill for swimming, so I didn't mind. There's also a great marina restaurant that is dog friendly there!

Great Neighborhood!

David's place is clean and super comfortable. The kitchen is great for cooking meals in, the a/c was already on when we arrived, and there is even a washer and dryer. The lake is a short walk through a super cute neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and stop to talk. You can walk to lots of restaurants and activities. David left clear instructions about where everything is and even recommended restaurants and hikes. We would definitely stay again if we visit Coeur d'Alene in the future.

Awesome Place! Perfect for Iron Man Weekend!

David was great to work with. He was very responsive to questions and allowed us to come early and stay later which was great since we only booked it for 1 night. The lake and park are only a couple blocks away so this made it the perfect place for us to stay for IronMan weekend. I competed in my first half IronMan and this place was the perfect spot to stay. Very quite and great part of town. I wish we could have stayed longer and we will definitely look into staying here again! David has kayaks, bikes, beach toys, etc that you can use in the garage. Very hospitable host and the loft is very open and inviting!

Perfect location and friendly host

I stayed here just one night for an event in downtown CDA and it was the perfect walking distance. The owner was very friendly. We did have one issue with not being able to find a parking pass for street parking (it had been taken by a previous guest), but the person listed in the contact information to help me was prompt and gave me a suggestion on where we could park nearby. There appeared to be a lot of fun extras (kayaks and outdoor activities) in the garage that I was not able to take advantage of due to my short trip but I would definitely recommend this place to a couple or small family. Also warning for large vehicles…parking is tight but doable!

Great location

The property is in a great location. Easily walkable to resort/lake/downtown. It was very clean and well stocked. David was the perfect host! If you are light sensitive, the bedroom faces sun rise and the blinds do let in light from that and also the neighbors garage light that is on all night. If you have a long SUV, the turning room to back out of the driveway is tight. We have a normal sedan and usually had to make a 3 point turn to avoid hitting the fence across the narrow alley (as two people before us have done). That said, we really enjoyed our stay here and would come back here again.

Highly recommended

The apartment is well thought out and very comfortable in every way, with everything we needed (we could live there), and the spacious covered deck made it even better. It's in a fantastic location, within walking distance of everything that makes CdA such a great place to visit: the lake/beach/marina, city park, McEuen Park, downtown shops and restaurants, and the trails on Tubbs Hill. It was also delightful to walk in the surrounding quiet neighborhood of well maintained older homes with interesting architecture and beautiful gardens. David, the host, came by one day while we were relaxing on the deck, to be sure everything was satisfactory, and we enjoyed meeting and talking with him. We would definitely want to stay there again when we're in the area - not changing a thing. Thanks, David!

Best Place in CDA for a Couple

The place is amazing and it is no wonder why it consistently receives top reviews. It it well designed, well equipped, well kept, and well located. Furthermore, David is a great host. We stayed one week and walked to town, the CDA resort, Tubbs Hill, and the beach/park many times. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The place is large with a great deck to enjoy outside privately. Furthermore, you have your own single car garage with garage door opener. How often does that happen? Thanks David!!!

About the host

Hosted by David Groth

Host profile image
In June of 2016, I retired after 37 years as an elementary school teacher and principal in Coeur d'Alene. I love what is accessible from the loft and my house, (on the same property) by foot, on bikes or by car. I enjoy great hiking, fishing, bicycling, cross country and alpine skiing within 45 minutes. I love Coeur d'Alene!

Why they chose this property

I have lived in this neighborhood since 1983; the loft is on the back of the property where I live.

What makes this property unique

I enjoy walking three minutes to the lake, biking the Centennial Trail from my house, walking to events and restaurants and bars downtown and at North Idaho College. I have rented to Ironman athletes for each of the 12 years of the event, and in 2009 and 2011 I completed the race.
