About this property

RED DOOR RETREAT Coeur d'Alene

Welcome to Coeur d'Alene's RED DOOR RETREAT! Live like a local, but with more comfort, space and privacy at the Red Door Retreat. A historic home built in 1915 but completely redone in 2021. It is in the heart of the highly desireable Midtown area at only 0.7mi to lakefront beaches and parks and a block from popular pubs, restaurants, grocery stores and shopping, so plan to park your car and walk to ride our bikes everywhere!

The RDR is aesthetic enough to make you want to stay in, but close enough to adventure to inspire you to get out!

My husband and I stayed here for our 19th anniversary. The host was excellent in communication and helpful to our needs. That added to our wonderful weekend at the Red Door. Everything we needed was within walking distance. The house was warming and homey feeling. The bed was cozy, and house was clean. Highly recommend this little hideaway.

Loved staying at the Red Door Retreat. We chose it for the location, price, and reviews and they were spot on. You have to climb stairs to the bedroom but there is a handrail and it's an easy staircase to use. Perfect for 2 people. Safeway right across the street. The thrift store on the corner and the Marketplace store across the street provide fun, eclectic shopping and it's a short walk or bike ride to downtown. Yard is large and has a fire pit in back. Highly recommend this house.

We really enjoyed our stay in Coeur d’Alene at the Red Door Retreat. The house is very clean with every detail well thought out. There was a very thorough and thoughtful guide to the property and neighborhood activities and restaurants. We enjoyed being able to walk to the grocery store as well as near by restaurants. John was a great host. He was quick in his communication with us and even accommodated us early. We highly recommend this property for a fun stay in CDA.

Cute Couples Getaway

We LOVED this little house and how close it was to downtown. The hosts thought of everything from the bathrobes to the bikes to get around town. We didn’t need anything for the house during our stay, communication with the hosts was great and they checked in on us multiple times during our stay to ensure we were satisfied, and everything we wanted to do was within walking or biking distance.
