It was the perfect house for us! Clean and comfy. The location is fantastic with a park across street, downtown 5 min walk and the beach is a block away. The beach items and stroller were a huge plus. Thank you for sharing your home.

Perfect Location

We were in town for my mother's funeral. Perfect location for early morning and evening walks. We could meet family across the street at the park and visit while the kids played. There was an issue with the door code, Flo was very responsive and the issue was resolved almost immediately. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay was terrific. The house is charmingly quaint and extremely well equipped. Each of us (four couples) had our own bedroom and the common areas are more than adequate for all of us gathering together. While we did not have dinners at the house, we easily prepared our breakfasts and lunches in the well stocked kitchen. The location of the house is great. It is right at the edge of a park with a playground, basketball and pickleball courts, and is a short walk to the beach. We took advantage of the outdoor equipment in the “shed” (bikes and beach chairs) behind the house. The house is close enough to the downtown area of Coeur d’Alene that we were able to walk nearly every place we wanted to go for shopping and dining. We liked having an easily (for us) remembered door code that negated the need for a key. There is also parking space behind the house so we did not even need the parking permit provided.The host Flo was always very quick to respond to our questions. Overall we and our three adult children and their spouses thoroughly enjoyed our three day visit to Coeur d’Alene and our stay at the Fort Grounds house. (July 7 - 10, 2025)Thank you.

Great Place to Stay in Coeur d’Alene’s Fort Mason Area

This home was a great place to stay. An older home remodeled to the comforts of modern day living. We enjoyed the air conditioning the days it was up over 100. Family loved eating outside, then walking to the beach. I would highly recommend this VRBO listing.

Absolutely loved this property. It is within walking distance of a beautiful park, the lake, Coeur d’Alene resort, downtown, and several courts for pickleball etc. The unit came stocked with all kinds of water toys and bikes.

Amazing location for vacation

House was very comfortable. Location is unbeatable! Some of the bedrooms for kids are a little quirky, but they had so much fun in their sleeping spaces that it kept them occupied! We enjoyed the outdoor eating area a lot as well. We had so much fun with the activities that we did not watch TV, so I can;t comment about infotainment.

Perfect place to stay in Coeur d" Alene!

We like to travel with our children and grandchildren. We usually pick VRBO for our stays and we all agreed that this home was one of our favorites! It was extremely clean and comfortable. It is in a quiet neighborhood right by the lake. We loved that we could walk to town along the lakeshore to go to dinner every night. The owners are very kind and respond to questions quickly. We definitely look forward to staying here again!

Staycation in Coeur d'Alene

My husband and I, daughter, her husband and their 5 kids, ages 1-10 had a wonderful time. The location was perfect. We could walk to the park, the beach and playground. Kitchen was setup perfect with a big kitchen table with benches where we played board games and ate. Bathrooms updated, clean and stocked well. I forgot my pillow which i travel with but the pillows and linens were soft! Each room had an air conditioner which was nice! I would recommend this property and we can't wait to return!

Great location next to downtown, the beach, and parks!

Overall, this home had all the amenities we needed to make it a home-away-from-home, and my family was very happy with it. It was very clean, we could find everything easily, and there were no amenities we wanted. Being right across from the Fort Sherman Park was great. The only thing I would caution is for family with young kids: the bedrooms are on 3 different levels, so if a kid wakes up in the middle of the night s/he will have to go up/down stairs to get to the parents; you cannot get from one bedroom to another without encountering stairs. The bedrooms that work best for kids have a step down immediately upon opening the bedroom door. We worked around this through the following: One of the top floor rooms has a queen bed with a little alcove that has a table and chairs for kids. We hauled the twin mattresses from another room and placed them in the alcove and we slept in the queen bed in the same room. The kids loved it, and they are still asking to go back to this house!

Excellent!

We second a previous review - the owners HAVE thought of everything! The house is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well-stocked with dishes to cook and feed a family, and the fridge even had some standard condiments! It snowed when we were there, and I received a text from the owner saying they'd be there soon to shovel the walk. Maybe this is standard, but in my opinion it was above and beyond, and much appreciated. Oh, and the bath towels! My husband checked the brand so we could buy some. =)

The house has a lot of character. It seems to be a bit old but very clean. It looks as if the bathrooms and kitchen have be remolded recently. It was great they had a Kerig and a supply of coffee. They also had two bottles of water in each bedroom upon our arrival. There are only two negatives.... The kitchen table is not the best set up for playing cards and there were no baking dishes. We made a coffee cake and a breakfast casserole and had to go to the store to get some foil pans. We would definitely stay here again.

We are proud CdA residents for the past 17 years. We are SoCal transplants, and although we enjoyed the dynamic lifestyle of the big city, we absolutely love the scenery and pace of our life now in the Northwest. We believe we have found Heaven on Earth in Coeur d'Alene and would not consider living anywhere else. We have two little girls, and they enjoy everything the Northwest has to offer, in every season. Thank you for considering our home for your vacation accommodations. We would be honored to help make your vacation memories special by offering you comfortable accommodations with beautiful furnishings, and special amenities and complimentary treats in every room. We will be readily available to answer any questions you may have. Cheers!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property upon first sight. We knew that it would make the perfect getaway for people visiting Coeur d'Alene because of its balance of old charm and modern upgrades that blend together well. The biggest plus to this home is the location, a few homes up from City Beach and across the street from City Park, making it just a few steps to everything Downtown Coeur d'Alene!

What makes this property unique

We love to sample local specialty products and treats, made here in Coeur d’ Alene. We want you to also experience what our city is famous for. We offer complimentary baked goods, huckleberry truffles, and huckleberry hand made soaps from local vendors. Hope you love them as much as we do!
