WE had a vacation group of four couples, and we have been traveling together for the past 9 years, this was one of our favorite homes. We would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a comfortable, well furnished, and equipped home. I believe one of our couples are planning on coming back next year, thank you for sharing your lovely home.

This place is the hidden gem of The Gem State! We traveled to the area for a family wedding and were blown away by how beautiful the accommodations were. The condo is perfect for a young family of five, location on the property is top notch, scenery is amazing. Truly cannot say enough about this place. We are planning to book again for multiple visits.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. We had a large group and the house was perfect. Everyone had their own space, but also room for everyone to be together. The deck was the best. The views were beautiful and there was enough seating for everyone…even witnessed a meteor shower. We cooked most of our meals, and the kitchen was spacious and well stocked. The family loved the pool table and hot tub also.

The only thing that surprised us were the number of steps to the dock. The lift was not available. My husband is disabled so the treck down to the beach was challenging The home was well stocked – had everything we needed. Loved the decks and view of the lake. A great property to rent.

This property is great for a large groups and has beautiful views. We had 7 adults (3 couples + 1 single) and felt like there was a lot of space. We spent quite a bit of time on the back deck which has beautiful views of the lake below and the surrounding mountains. The property manager was very responsive. The kitchen inventory was mediocre – certainly not ‘well stocked’ but was very manageable for breakfasts. I will stay here again if we travel with a similar group in the future.

Had a great time in this home. Loved they had a doggy door for pets. Although we did not book with our pets this time, this detail makes us want to book again with our furry family members.

Coopers Bay Escape provided the perfect vacation home for our out of state family during our visit for our nephew’s wedding. This home turned out to be the “hub” for the extended family as we entertained and enjoyed the dock. We especially loved the well equipped kitchen and the water toys at the dock! They thought of everything from beach towels to a lovely fire pit on the deck over looking the lake. We loved that we could walk to the local restaurant down the street. We made unforgettable memories at the Coopers Bay Escape!

When VRBO royally screwed us, we found this place last minute. It was perfect for our needs last minute. The only minor issues were no toaster and they only provided one dinky little shampoo and conditioner which isn’t typical of most home rentals we have done so that was inconvenient but we were super happy to find a place last minute and had a great vacation!

We had a terrific week at the Conkling Bay Escape. Communication was great from making our reservation through to our check-out. Great place for three couples. Kitchen was very well stocked. Outdoor areas were wonderful and the dock was perfect for our boat. Location was awesome and fun being close to the marina.

The house was perfect for us fully relax and enjoy the river and beautiful surroundings. We walked around the island many times and talked with some of the very friendly neighbors.
We will surely return to this house on our next trip to Idaho

This place is beautiful! Plenty of space for the whole family. Grandkids loved playing outside and in the creeks, and tried chasing wild turkeys! Kitchen has everything needed for cooking. Plenty of towels and bedding, including extra pillows. Beds are softer than we are used to, but still very comfortable. Love how private it is.

This was our second family stay at Wildcat Creek Lodge and it was just as wonderful as the first! The location is perfect—quiet, right on the lake with a private dock, and only a short drive to Hayden and Coeur d’Alene. Hayden Lake isn’t known for its beaches, so if you want to truly enjoy the lake, renting a boat is the way to go. Perfect home for families to relax and soak up lake life. Highly recommend!

We fell in love with this house. We had 4 kids that were older and enjoyed the bunk beds. Also had a 1 year old, and there was a baby gate to keep her from the stairs. The back porch was our favorite, we sat out there most of our stay. The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to Sherman Street and the lake. We would love to stay here again!
