We had a family of three generations, 12-14 people at peek times, ranging from 9-78. Everyone loved the experience. We were able to rent a nice pontoon boat that fit just about everyone and still had enough power to tow an inter tube. The stairs (and railing in particular) left a bit to be desired. We had one young one trip and bloody his knee on one of the make-shift landings, but otherwise went unscathed. It’s a beautiful home and perfectly located as far as getting into town for excursions and refueling the boat. We would absolutely rent this place again!

Wonderful Lake-Front Get Away

Booked this home for a 4 night get away with my spouse, parents and in-laws. The house was wonderful. From the massage chair to the easy lake access (minus some stairs) it was the perfect place for our group.

Fantastic Family Retreat

I have stayed here 3 times now and each stay has been fantastic. The house is clean, well stocked and very roomy for multiple families. The kitchen is a dream if you like to cook: awesome stove/oven, fridge, pantry. Cami (the host) is responsive and so accommodating. The lake view is serene and seeing eagles every morning is a delight.

Beautiful property!

We loved our stay at The Nest! The property was actually better than advertised. We had everything we needed, and Cami was super responsive to our questions/requests. We would definitely visit this property again. The kids loved the paddle boards, kayak, and heading over to the rope swing. My dad had mobility issues and loved sitting on the deck. The bay is so peaceful yet so close to town. Perfection.

A dream summer vacation

We fell in love with this property so fast! The house is so beautiful. It had a perfect mix of modern and charm. The kitchen was a treat to cook in, with the combination of a nice gas range and a propane grill on the deck. The way the kitchen flows with the eating space on the deck is awesome. The master bedroom made me feel like I was in a 5-star hotel. The dock and all the provided water toys never left us with a dull moment. We had so much fun paddling across the bay to the rope swing. We can’t wait to start planning our next trip here!

An absolute gem...

I can't give this place enough stars. The home has everything you need for the perfect lake vacation - no matter the season! Thoughtful details from firewood to the plethora of towels, bedding, etc. The bedding. Omg, the bedding. I felt like I was sleeping at a five star luxury resort every night. Bald eagles everywhere was just the icing on the cake. We've stayed at a lot of homes on CDA lake, but this is where it's at. Will never stay anywhere else! Excited to book for the summer. Well done, guys. The gold standard in short term rentals right here.

Never wanted to leave

This house is fantastic. Felt like you were home. So roomy. My family couldn’t stop saying how comfortable everything was. They wanted to know the brand of the mattress and pillows even the couch. This is a great part of the lake, a little less busy and calmer. The rope swing across the lake was so fun. If you rent a boat you are able to bring it in this area, a lot of the river areas you’re not allowed to bring rented boats. Praying we all get a chance to come back. Cami is a great host, answered all my questions timely. Thanks Cami for your great house, couldn’t have been better.

Nothing short of AMAZING!

Our stay at Cami's home was wonderful! From first booking to checkout, communication was very efficient! The home was very clean, and stocked with everything you'd need for a lake vacation! All the bedrooms were spacious and we loved having 4 bathrooms!! And the couch!! My goodness, it was sooooo comfy, I am getting one for myself!! From water toys to extra pantry items, we couldn't ask for a better stay! We also loved the firework show the neighbors were putting on since the CDA Resort ones got cancelled. The stairs to the lake might look intimidating, but we always planned ahead and brought snacks/ drinks so we can hang on docks for at least a few hours before walking up...(but we all needed that workout anyway from eating too much;) ) Thanks Cami, and family for allowing my family to stay and have an incredible 4th of July getaway!

Everything and then some!

We had an amazing time at the Nest for 6 nights! It was such a pleasant welcoming to find plentiful towels, blankets, bedding, pantry/kitchen items, binoculars, and so so much more (even some welcome goodies!). We rented a boat and the dock provided secure tie ups for it. We ran out of time before we ran out of things to do, so much more to discover both in the house and around the area. Rooms were large (you feel like you are in a deluxe tree house), beds were comfortable, bathrooms well stocked, washers/dryers on 2 floors. Dining/seating plentiful both inside and out. And NO BUGS! We couldn't believe it! The bay provided a fantastic and calm swimming/paddle board place with the rope swing right across from the house. The only tough thing were the stairs for my 80+ yr old parents, however they did it multiple times a day. The "spa corner" cured our aching muscles after a long day of biking, tubing, wakeboarding, skiing etc. The only regret we have is not booking it longer! Thanks Cami, you provided a wonderful home upon which many many memories were formed.

Location is fantastic. Right on the water, close to all the fun in Coeur d'Alene. Private dock made it easy and fun to use the available paddleboards, kayak, paddle boat and row boat. Plenty of room for the 7 adults and 5 children we had in our group. Owner was especially helpful in answering questions and ensuring we enjoyed our stay.

This is a nice older home on a beautiful area of the lake. It was nice to have the dock although the steps to the dock and the dock itself need some updating. That was our general view of the house as well, nice but in need of updating. The only real negative of the house was the traffic noise from the highway.

2nd Time Renting

We’ve rented this beautiful lake house during the winter and summer and it’s been wonderful! The kitchen is amazing. Well stocked. Lots of open space between kitchen, dining and living rooms. Decks are great in summer; we sat out in the morning and evening and the view was beautiful. We brought out jet skis and the dock worked well. The house is in a nice bay of this big lake and the water is calm and cool. Not too choppy.
