Charming

Staying at this home is like staying at your Grandparents house. It’s vintage and charming while being comfortable and homey. We enjoyed the location and having a few comforts provided such as coffee and laundry soap. We are a multi generational group and everyone was more than satisfied with the accommodations.

The Benson House

We had a wonderful experience and stay in CDA thanks to The Benson house. The house is full of charm and quirks, the porch and backyard are magnificent, and the owners were very responsive and accommodating. I’m tempted to leave a terrible review to keep this gem a secretBut I won’t do that to Gary!

Funtastic!!

Couer D'aleane is a great vacation spot to go with kids. We had lot of fun going around the town and visiting the lake. The house is located at 10 min walking distance from lake and it is great. We were supposed to be a group of 8, but we actually ended up as a group of 4. The living and bedroom may have been smaller for 8 people. The host was fantastic in communicating and checking with us regularly.

Get-away Week with Friends

We are three well-traveled (nationally and internationally) friends. We all agreed that this was the BEST VRBO property in which we have ever stayed. From the well-stocked kitchen to the beautifully decorated interior to the fantastic front porch and backyard, the home exceeded our expectations. The owner was super responsive in all communication and access to the property was simple (and contactless). Highly recommend this Turn of the Century rental!

Great home - clean and comfortable

This home was just as it was advertised. The bedrooms were a nice size. Two bathrooms worked well for our family of seven. The kitchen was well stocked, with plenty of pots, pans, bowls and dishes. Plus there were spices and other cooking essentials in the pantry. It is the nicest home we've stayed in when booking through VRBO. Thank you.

We stayed for the week, husband, myself and three adult children. Lots of room to spread out. Enjoyed sitting in the backyard every morning. It’s a short walk to many things…..grocery store, lake, downtown and lots of restaurants. The house is older but so quaint! Absolutely loved the area for vacation.
