Overall, very happy with the whole experience. Killer location! Big enough for our family and the couple we stayed with. Would recommend this location to anyone with a family traveling to CDA.
Perfect location, short walk to downtown and lake activities. We especially enjoyed the huge backyard for our evening outdoor games. This house has so much character and friendly neighbors.
This house is one of the best rentals we have had. The inside was very Clean and the yard and porch was amazing. Check in was a breeze and the location to downtown is within walking distance. We would definitely rent this home again.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Happy to have you stay with us again.
This is a lovely home in a very nice neighborhood All walkable to town and the lake. Very nice host who is easy to communicate with. Easy access to the house.
Amazing property with short walk to the lake and local eateries. Perfect for my family of 5 for the Ironman. I'll have memories for years to come of my family enjoying dinner in the backyard and all the yard games.
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.
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!
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.
This house is adorable with plenty of room for a group. There are tons of kitchen tools and dishes, which made our stay fun for cooking. Great location, a 5 minute walk to downtown.
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!
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.
We had a surprise mini family reunion. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for our85 year old mom. The outside space we lived in! Had a bbq and our granddaughter loved just running around. The porch was perfect for conversation and coffee in the am .
