Cozy and lovely!

This house was so fun! Walking distance to everything we love about Coeur d'Alene in the summer! Park, beach, restaurants, etc. Skate park for the kids to play and a small park to play! The house is small but so cozy! The queen bed upstairs is so comfortable. The beds in the 2nd room is great for kids but i wouldnt recommend for adults because they are small. The ac works great in all rooms and it kept a great temperature during our stay. The kitchen is small, so not a stock up kind of refrigerator but restaurants are everywhere! Washer and dryer work great and if you want a cda experience i highly recommend!

Great location!

We had a lovely stay in this home. The location cannot be beat - we were able to walk everywhere: across the quiet street to an amazing children's playground, as well as the beach/boardwalk and into downtown where there were a ton of delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The home itself was clean, and the hosts included extras such as laundry detergent, shampoo, bottled water, and so on. They also included a wagon, beach towels, beach and sand toys....they've thought of everything! Our only complaints were that the bedrooms need curtains (the neighbors have a very bright orange security light that stays on all night and shines directly into both rooms), and the fruit on the large tree in the yard is rotten, and the smell was quite terrible exiting and entering the home. If we are planning a trip to Silverwood or to the Idaho area for any other reason, we would definitely stay here again!!

Great house, fabulous location

Would absolutely recommend this property. Walkable to Main Street and all the water activities. Great outdoor space. It’s a separate house behind the main house, so very close to another rental, so it’s safe and quiet. Host was prompt and easy to communicate with, and my friends and I had a lovely trip!

Absolutely perfect location! The property itself needs some tlc and needs to have a deep clean.

Great first time experience. Host was excellent. And super easy check in. Just recommend a bit better cleaning crew, it wasn’t awful but definately needs a deep clean.

We really enjoy this little property. It was so nice to be so close to the beach and downtown. We could bike and walk to all the fun shops in town. We loved having the option to have our pups there with the enclosed yard. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. I’ve traveled to Coeur d’Alene several times before and this stay has been my favorite, by far! Can’t beat the location, amenities, and convenience of not having to use our car to stroll downtown for perusing, eating, and activities. Great find and we absolutely loved our stay!

Super cute and well stocked house in prime location. Our kids loved the park and courts across the street, and as a family, we really enjoyed walking along the promenade and the Main Street just steps from the property. Would highly recommend and we plan to be back later this summer!

Great little house in a perfect location

As a family we loved this location, everything was so close by! We took advantage of the park across the street and being able to walk to downtown and along the beach without having to drive anywhere. Flo was very helpful during the whole process and with giving recommendations.
