Absolutely excellent location quick trip to the grocery store and walking distance to downtown.
This space itself is absolutely beautiful. Whoever did the renovation is extremely skilled.
The only things to be aware of is be sure you pay attention to what amenities are not included like shampoo and conditioner. Also, the pillows and beds are also extremely firm! All of them are the same profile.
Loved the space.

We stayed 15 days in February and loved it. In winter the lake always has a different view (fog, snow, sun) and the view from the top of the hill where it’s located is breathtaking! When we arrived it was snowing and the driveway had been cleared off for us. The city also does a good job keeping that paved road to the house in good shape. Once you go to the bottom of the hill you’re basically right off of Sherman Ave/downtown.
The house is practically brand new and is lovely with a great floor plan to divide spaces. Nice gas stove/oven for cooking too.
We just moved here and plan to use this Airbnb for when our family visits from AZ. I’m going to miss that amazing view every day.

A group of us dancers stayed here and it was so much fun. Loved the openness of the layout of the house.

This place was great! It was clean, well-kept, and spacious.
2/27/2025
The location is stunning with breathtaking views of the lake. The house was perfect for our family gathering. Loved the game room, the master bedroom and bathroom! The only issue is the lack of cell reception. Even with access to the internet and an iPhone you will not have the ability to consistently communicate with anyone outside of the lodge. Highly recommend this place as it was a wonderful home to stay in for twelve nights.
2/26/2025
Definitely a very nice place to stay. It is close to town, but at the same time in the middle of the forest and mountains. Highly recommended.
2/24/2025
The property is beautiful and would make a wonderful home for hosting a large family gathering. The $450 cleaning fee is absolutely insane. Nice property though

Our family had a great weekend in Coeur d’Alene and staying in the downtown dream
2/23/2025
we loved our stay — extremely roomy with high ceilings and generous common area space. had multiple amenities (sauna, spa, pool table). great space for large groups / families
2/22/2025
Perfect getaway for our anniversary. Amazing views. Had everything you could want in kitchen, laundry area, bathrooms, living spaces, etc. Loved the loft. Will definitely come again with family for vacation.

Spacious, new and well kept CDA vacation house perfect for family gatherings. We loved the massive 12 seater dining table and very spacious kitchen to host our local and long distance visiting family.
2/19/2025
The property was well cared for. We had a lot of snow. The snow was cleaned from the walkways regularly. The location was easy get around town. Good location for on and off the highway for skiing and snowshoeing.
2/18/2025
We stayed for a dance competition weekend!!! Loved how open the layout was, we could all be together and not be crowded. Will be back in two weeks!!! Love this place

I stay in a lot of airbnbs and I would highly recommend this location as well as company every time.

We had a great time at this beautiful home. This location was perfect for our family gathering. January is not a typical tourist time so we were not here for any activities offered by CDA. We enjoyed this home and the spaciousness for our time to relax and catch up. There was easy access to walk in the park next door and short drives to stores. The view of the lake was peaceful and beautiful. We would like to return sometime in the warmer weather to enjoy outdoor activities and the hot tub.up.
1/22/2025
This place was amazingly located and had all the space our group needed.

Was a quiet place to stay in the winter.

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving trip. We enjoyed the view from the home. Just as beautiful at night as it is in the day, We only used two bedrooms and they were wonderful.we stayed one week and loved all the wildlife. Deers are right outside the house. Watched bald eagles .You could see fireworks and Christmas lights every night from your couch and enjoy the fireplaces. The fireworks were not anything you could hear just see.It is part of the resort boat ride to see Santa on the other side of the lake. For thanksgiving we highly recommend Beverley’s at the resort. The food was outstanding along with the view.
1/15/2025
This property exceeded every expectation. The location is AMAZING and we walked right down to the resort for the Christmas parade and festivities even with little kids. The house itself catered to all my kids’ ages (1-16) with toys, games, shows, and then sleeping arrangements for all. We loved the hot tub, and in summer months will totally stay again and utilize the patio and outdoor area. We LOVED this property and will absolutely be back again.
1/14/2025
Entering the property was very easy. We were traveling with adult children and everyone was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well appointed which was good because I was cooking a makeshift Thanksgiving dinner. The condo was just perfect for us, the living and dining area were very comfortable. We loved looking over the water and watching the wildlife even in November. We are in the area frequently and would definately stay there again.

The property was beautiful, clean and spacious. We had a great stay.
1/13/2025
We stayed at the house for a gathering of 18 family members. The great room was big enough for all of us and the bedrooms had lots of room for spreading out.
1/12/2025
Need to replace the coffee maker pot. It’s a Mr Coffee pot in a Cuisinart maker and it makes a mess.Everything else was great!

This home is perfect for large families or groups. There are multiple spaces that accommodate a large meeting area and bedrooms that are far enough away for napping children or those who want to sleep in later than the group. The kitchen is very large and well put together to make meal prep for a group super easy. Appliances were updated and efficient. It was well stocked with everything needed to cook for and serve a large group. The hot tub was enjoyed especially during some falling snow. Downtown Coeur d’Alene was less than 10 minute drive & a 1/2 hour drive up into the CDA national forest ( Fernan Saddle) provided a sledding spot. We would book this home again.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful mountainside retreat! The house had all of the amenities needed for a comfortable vacation with my family. In addition, the views were breathtaking. Thank you to the wonderful hosts!
1/5/2025
The beds were extremely comfortable and I felt at home from the moment I arrived. The living room space was so cozy and I fell in love with the couch! Everything was as described and a representative from vacation rentals was always available to answer any questions I had. Would definitely recommend this place to others!

The house was Amazing!!! Everything we needed, great communications…A Big Thumbs Up!!!
1/4/2025
This property is amazing! We stayed here with our adult children and grandchild so we could attend a family wedding. The location, the cleanliness, the amenities all exceeded our expectations! We appreciated the communication by the owners/agency and the consistency of the advertised property. We plan to visit the area ma y times in the upcoming years and would be blessed to stay here each time!

A great home for a large group. We enjoyed the open concept and propane fireplace. The shuffleboard was a nice addition. The kitchen was large and well stocked and the home was clean. We were blessed. Thanks!

Spent a week at the house. It was very spacious. Plenty of room for our 12 family members. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, pans and silverware. Everything we needed could be found there. We had one maintenance request and it was handled immediately. I would definitely rent here again. Thank you.
1/3/2025
This home is beautiful. The kitchen was great and had some staples. Bathrooms were clean. The rainfall shower is nice but not the best for everyday use. The hot tub was awesome. Close to downtown and many restaurants. We walked most mornings for coffee. Quick walk to the lake.
1/2/2025
Really great stay . Fantastic communication and great location. The only complaint I have , is we didn’t have access to the gym or Hot tub on property. I saw it on the listing but I guess it’s extra payment for access. I didn’t do much research and just assumed it was included so that is honestly my bad . The house and everything else was perfect! 20 out of 10 !

Nice large house. Clean. Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Suited our needs!

This was our second family Christmas holiday at this beautiful property, and it did not disappoint! Our group of 16 (4 families) absolutely loved everything about this lovely home. There was more than enough space for everyone to be together comfortably.
The kids and teenagers especially enjoyed the downstairs area, spending hours playing foosball and air hockey. The pool table on the main floor added another layer of fun for the whole group. The kitchen was incredibly well-appointed with everything we needed, and the barbecue and Traeger on the patio made grilling a breeze.
The beds were very comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water for everyone—no small feat for a group our size! This home made our family time extra special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to gather and celebrate.
Thank you for helping us create such wonderful memories! We will absolutely stay here again.

This home fit our family gathering wonderfully. The best part about it was the number of bathrooms. Each bedroom had a bathroom attached which is quite rare but definitely a blessing with a large group. The kitchen had plenty of plates, bowls, cups, mugs and silverware as well as spices needed for preparing meals. We will use this home again if the availability meets our families schedule, we had a great time!

The DOWNTOWN DREAM house is indeed a dream house. This is the best VRBO I’ve stayed in for a family and or large group. The house is immaculately clean, large with multiple spaces for everyone. The owners have thought of everything from the firepit, hotbub, games room, music room, gym and a separate unit over the garage. Lastly, the home is a short walk to downtown. You will not be disappointed if you rent this dream house.

This is a beautiful home! It was the perfect fit for my family. We had both my own family (with teenagers) and my brother’s family (with small children) as well as my parents together for Christmas. The kitchen is huge and was perfect for cooking Christmas dinner. There were so many fun activities for the children to do in the game/activity area, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. Lots of televisions so everyone was happy. We would definitely stay at this property again!

This home was perfect for our family . We own a home in the area and needed extra space for out of state family that was visiting for the holidays .
