Hosted by CDA Vacation Rentals
We’re proud CDA locals with a passion for creating unique, stylish, and comfortable stays that showcase the very best of North Idaho. Our mission is simple: make travel easy, modern, and fun. Plus, we offer early check-ins and late check-outs whenever possible, because your vacation should run on your schedule, not the other way around. At CDA Vacation Rentals, comfort meets convenience, and every stay is designed with care.
Why they chose this property
Welcome to Midtown CDA—where laid-back, tree-lined streets meet walkable eats, coffee, and quick access to the lake. 816 W Mill sits on a quiet residential block with classic craftsman homes and friendly neighbors, just a few minutes from everything you came for: downtown Sherman Ave, City Beach, Tubbs Hill, and the Centennial Trail.
From the front door, you’re a short hop to Midtown’s local favorites along 4th Street, plus everyday conveniences like groceries, coffee, and casual dining. Downtown’s boutiques, galleries, and restaurants are just a quick drive or bike ride away, and Lake Coeur d’Alene awaits with swimming, paddleboarding, and boat rentals. Tubbs Hill’s lakeside trails make for an easy morning hike, and City Park is perfect for picnics and Code Playground time in the summer.
Getting around is simple. Street parking is easy on Mill, rideshares are readily available, and cyclists love the flat routes into town and the Centennial Trail. Need to venture farther? I‑90 access is just minutes away for effortless day trips to Silverwood, Spokane, or Sandpoint.
The vibe is relaxed and residential—great for families and quiet getaways—with all the fun of downtown close by. In summer, you’re near outdoor concerts, farmers markets, and beach days; in winter, cozy cafés, holiday lights, and nearby ski hills keep the good times rolling. It’s the best of Coeur d’Alene living: peaceful at home, playful everywhere else.
