This was a great place to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. Everything was exactly as described. The management team was responsive and friendly.

We loved our stay in Fernan and the house was fantastic. Lots of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The kids loved the area downstairs and spent any free time enjoying each others company or playing games. The adults had several areas to relax and enjoy great conversations. A couple of the adults had some unexpected work come up and were able to find a quiet spot to get their work done. We did most of our cooking at the house and was able to find everything we needed to make the meals we prepared. The patio was nice for us to sit and enjoy the view and were visited by deer everyday. We all really enjoyed the house and being able to spend time all together.

Excellent location on a quiet street high above Fernan Lake. Exceptional views of Fernan Lake and the surrounding area. Comfortable home setting for our annual family vacation. Extra fridge/freezer in the garage a plus. Could have used more paper products. Enjoyed carrying on a conversation with the wild turkeys in residence high up in the trees across the street.

Nicely appointed home for larger group. Location close to downtown and freeways. Would rent again.

The property was beautiful, clean and spacious. We had a great stay.

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.

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.

Excellent Christmas stay with family! The house was very clean and accommodating!

This place has a gorgeous view and everything needed to hang out with family. Lots of space to move about and we were very very comfortable.

Great stay

This vacation property enabled our entire family to meet up and enjoy a great week together. We didn't even use the dining area or the living room as the huge kitchen island was large enough for all 14 of us to eat and hang out while prepping meals. Everyone had their own bedroom and there were enough bathrooms to suit our needs. We really enjoyed the outdoor space for playing games. The location is quiet yet close enough to CDA to enjoy any activity that we wanted. We highly recommend this property for a memory making experience. Thanks for the great hospitality 🙂

Overall positive. Large home to accommodate our family and age range. Master suite is lovely, grandkids used the tub. Other bedrooms fine but odd that only one bathroom downstairs for 5 bedrooms. Set up worked for us but older kids would be an issue as rec. room downstairs with people sleeping. No glassware and refrigerator at bar area. The kitchen needs new fridge and oven. A separate ice machine to make up for the lack of one in refrigerator. The oven difficult to use and finally didn't work. could use a standard microwave. Lines and towels nice.
Down side was the inability to use the lake because of algae bloom. Had hoped could as least wade from dock on Fernan Lake. Weather not controlled by them. Convient to town and shopping. Nice parks in town but paid parking instead of walking down to lake. Nice well maintained yard and hot tub used.
So overall worked well for us as we are adaptable and came away with good vibes.

The house was perfect for our family reunion. The kitchen allowed us to cook meals for 12 people - great selection of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. The house had several living spaces where we could spread out and gather. The bedrooms were comfortable and nicely decorated. The house is close enough to town to shop and take advantage of outdoor activities. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely return.
6/13/2024
The house was PERFECT for us! There was space for all twelve of us. Fun times playing pool, playing cards and doing jigsaw puzzles. The only minor complaint was just one bathroom downstairs!
We would all go back in a heartbeat!
5/22/2024
The house is large and very comfortable. Beautiful view of the lake. Jacuzzi was so relaxing!! Just two drawbacks, stove is a bit finicky, always clicking to ignite gas burners. Also, we could hear critters scratching/digger on the walls. Life in the beautiful wilderness. A few sightings of deer too! Would stay again!
5/17/2024
I took a group of colleagues for a team building retreat. Great location and the house is very nice. The bedroom door on the main suite upstairs would not stay shut, which was a little annoying, but other than that, the home was great. Love the area and would bring my family there to stay. Thanks for letting us use this home!

The house had everything for a large group. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. Rooms were large and clean. Check in and check out were very easy.
I would only say it would be nice to have some sort of a refrigerator downstairs in the bar/game room area. And to have the bar glassware there as well.
Overall, it was a pleasant home in a great location.
12/26/2023
Beautiful home, lovely location. Kitchen was well equipped. Home decorated well, even had holiday touches. Wonderful accommodation for an extended family holiday, plenty of room to spread out, cool game room. Will definitely consider for another time.
11/4/2023
great for large groups
10/25/2023
House was great, plenty of room for the 15 of us. Awesome views, really nice location. The walk down to the dock was not for everyone, very steep climb back up to the house that was very difficult for most in the group. This was in the listing, so not a surprise. Those that didn’t want to hike down to fish took the car down and back. The only complaints I heard were that some of the beds needed new mattresses and the stove had a couple of burners that didn’t work. The only request I would have is a larger refrigerator or maybe another one. It’s a large house, that accommodates a large group very comfortably. If we go back we would definitely stay here again.

The Fernan Lake Lodge is the perfect venue for a relaxed family vacation or a playful group party. In a nutshell, the house is gorgeous, roomy and fun! Most rooms had a well thought out theme. My favorite was probably our cowboy bathroom which had a dreamy picture of Clint Eastwood and a pistol toilet roll holder. The kitchen had everything you'd need to prepare a gourmet meal. And there were board games, a pool table, game room, croquet set and hot tub to keep everyone entertained. We were disappointed the fire pit was off limits due to a burn ban, but there was no control over that. The neighborhood was quiet, and we saw many deer and wild turkeys awandering . Although the location is secluded, it's a short drive to downtown CDA for shopping or dining out. The property management company was very attentive and responded quickly if we had a question. We were very happy during our stay there, and we think you will be, too!

Happy with every aspect of the rental!

The home is beautiful and spacious. Of the seven bedrooms, six are comfortable for adults, the seventh, which has three double beds and one twin, is best suited for kids. There is a nice view of the lake. Parking is limited, so plan to bring as few cars as possible. The owners were very responsive to our communications. Everyone in our group of 14 adults really liked the place.
8/12/2023
Great house for a large group. The house was exactly as described. Great views and very peaceful setting.

Great place to getaway, but still close to everything.

Great size for our group. Plenty of amenities, dishes, beds. Close to town and activities and entertainment. Beautiful lakes!
7/23/2023
This property was perfect for our annual golf trip. We had 16 guys and there was plenty of room for all. The game room was a central hanging point where we all played cards, dice, pool, and hung out on the deck. The proximity to downtown and the surrounding golf areas were a huge selling point on this house, as well as the access to Fernan Lake. It’s a short-ish walk down the hill onto a private dock and after golf we would all go straight down to the lake and cool off. This house had everything we needed and then some! I recommend this house 100 times out of 100!
7/15/2023
Great view, tons of space.
7/8/2023
This place was all it was advertised as and more. For a large family this place is incredible. Location, views and comfort was fabulous. The house is beautiful and yet easy to enjoy. My family is still talking about how wonderful this place was. If you get the chance to stay here you should! Vacation Rental Authority was the property management company and they were excellent to work with. Our experience was absolutely incredible.
6/28/2023
Let me tell you the first thing about this place:
The house perfectly sleeps 18-19 fairly comfortably, especially if you have couples and kids. The bottom floor provides a great amount of activities and plenty of space for everyone to hangout.
The hosts are wonderful, they make the check in process easy and the clean up process even easier. If I was going to coeur D’Alene again, I wouldn’t hesitate to want to stay at this place!
6/27/2023
Perfect spot for large family gatherings. Didn’t want to leave!
6/10/2023
AMAZING place to stay and exceeded expectations.

Plenty of space for everyone to sleep, eat, and play. The private doc is a nice touch for warm summer days!

Great spot. Dock is sweet

Amazing house, everything you could ask for.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. I do agree with others you can't walk to the water without a steep hill or vehicle.
Lots of amenities to enjoy. The woodpeckers are a problem!! Need better lighting to hot tub. We loved how beautiful it was and relaxing.

This property was as advertised and had everything you could ever want for seven guys on an annual ski trip. The amenities provided made for a phenomenal stay. We would recommend this property highly for large groups.

The Fernan Lake Lodge was a lovely home to have a family reunion in. It was very spacious with lots of areas to hang out in. The views from the lodge were magnificent (we were there during the winter, so experienced snow covered scenery)! The VRA team was very responsive when I reached out to them with questions I had prior to the start of our trip. Overall, it was a very pleasant and relaxing stay.
2/22/2023
Very big! Tons of space

We had a group of 13 adults, 3 kids, and an infant. The house was very comfortable and had plenty to do - the pool table was used regularly, the hot tub was also used at least once a day, and we liked listening to music or watching videos on the TVs. We also used the grill for one of our meals (propane was provided). We appreciated having so many bedrooms, and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone to use, including showers. It looked clean and taken care of, cozy but still spacious enough to spread out when needed. Some minor downsides: we had to bring our own firewood, which we actually didn’t use (we only used the gas fireplace near the kitchen, which we liked, and didn’t get to using the outdoor fire pit for s’mores like we wanted); the downstairs was usually noticeably colder; there was limited fridge space (since we came during cold weather we were able to keep some things chilled by putting them in the garage or outside); and the property is on a steep slope, which didn’t seem comfortable, especially with kids and during warmer weather. Parking was also limited, but we were able to park along the street so it worked out. We enjoyed the lake - several people went ice fishing multiple times (we made fresh fish soup from the fish that was caught). The scenery and neighborhood were nice, and we made several trips to downtown Coeur d’Alene since it was so close. Overall we had an enjoyable stay and would have liked to stay longer.

Booked this for a family/wedding get together. I warned everyone that it appeared spacious but more on the rustic side. When I walked in I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was. SO many bedrooms, beautiful bedding etc….close to great restaurants, a quaint downtown, and hiking & walking trails. Skiing/snowmobiling a short drive in Spokane.
We had a fabulous time!
1/19/2023
This is our second time staying at this home, it was a great place and will probably be back again!
1/14/2023
This was a great space for hosting a large family and spending time together!
As a heads up for those who have small children, the stairs are easily accessible and there is not a baby gate provided. The host recommended Baby Quip when I inquired. This did not deter from our overall experience but definitely something to consider for families with smaller children.

Great stay! We would love to stay in the summer!
12/12/2022
Great for a large family. Enough room to be together but space to spread out. The views were amazing. We saw dear, wild turkeys and squirrels right out the windows. Only a few miles from town made the location perfect. Equipped with all the essentials plus some extras. Our family enjoyed the pool table, hot tub and the bar. Lots of great memories were made on this trip.

We enjoyed our visit!!

Our group has gone on many trips, and this was the nicest place we've stayed. Enough beds for our group of 10. Plenty of room to hide out or congregate.
9/24/2022
We rented this large for a 40th birthday party, which included three generations of guests. Easily accommodate 20 people plus a few day guests. As well as multiple gathering places in the house, the outside was well equipped with furniture to enjoy the outdoors with a view of the lake. A small lake however is a steep hike and not recommended for swimming or fishing. I would love to host Thanksgiving dinner here in this large kitchen that is so well-stocked with dishes and cookware! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
9/20/2022
House was clean and adequately stocked. Not as organized as I would have expected but nothing to worry about. Everything worked great
9/18/2022
Great house, great location, perfect for our big group.
Loved the big outside lawn space and hammock, as well as the game room with the pool table!
10/10 would recommend!

8/21/2022
Our family is growing and this place was the perfect size for all of us! Love the room with 4 beds which was a fun option for the teenage cousins! Kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook and plenty of different spaces to socialize and the hot tub was a delight! 🙂

Perfect place for a large group and close to downtown!
7/4/2022
This place was great for our group of 18. There were more than enough individual rooms for couples and multi-bed rooms and couches for the single members. The house itself was very nice and had large enough rooms to fit everyone for different activities. The kitchen, grill, and balconies were also good, with enough space for the whole party to prep, cook, and eat in.
The outdoor spaces were the best part. The backyard was large enough to set up a volleyball net and play actual games. The private dock was extremely well built and allowed us to moor two 24ft boats instead of trailering them each night. The parking was more than adequate. We easily fit 3 trucks, 2 boat trailers, and a car.
Highly recommend. Worth the drive from Tacoma, WA for me and the flights in for about half the group.

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. The views were stunning, there was so much room for everyone and communication with the property managers was quick and efficient.

The open spaces of the living room and downstairs game room were wonderful for the 20 of us. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen spacious, and the bathrooms terrific.

Incredible views! Plenty of beautifully decorated space. Close to downtown Coeur d’Alene. Great place for large families.
3/13/2022
good location
3/5/2022
We loved the layout of the property for hosting multiple families. We loved the house so much that we ended up adding an extra day to our stay at the end of the trip. The location was convenient for skiing Silver Mountain, Lookout Pass, and Schweitzer.

Great home for a large group!
10/17/2021
Our group loved this home! Excellent views, gathering spaces, and amenities. We had a large group and spent most of our time on the top floor which was enough space and never felt crowded. Quick drive to downtown and excellent food and coffee near by. Kids had a blast and adults were able to relax. We would love to stay again!
8/6/2021
Our family had a wonderful time connecting at this beautiful home. The views from every room overlooked the lake and lots of wildlife roaming on the meadow below the house. The house offers many opportunities for connecting while giving everyone space. The town of Coeur de Alene was so close and we spent a lot of time at the amazing children's park.
7/31/2021
Great location and large enough for a large family getaway. Would highly recommend and hope to use it again!

Loved our stay! Plenty of space for kids to stretch out. Comfy beds, wood fireplace was relaxing with the snow outside. Massive kitchen and sitting area. We’ll be back in the summer to enjoy the decks and lake!
12/3/2020
Wonderful huge home for a family gathering. We loved celebrating Thanksgiving there as a family. Warm and cozy with plenty of space to gather and to spread out as well.
11/14/2020
Fantastic location. Fantastic house. Fantastic view. I will stay here again.
1/14/2020
This home is VERY accommodating to a large group. I have rented several VRBO or similar homes and this one ranks at the top for sure! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!
1/3/2020
This house is an awesome place to stay! Great location with awesome views and lots of amenities. Everyone in our group enjoyed their stay and loved the cabin feel this place provides.
12/29/2019
This home was amazing. Enough space for 16 people to sleep and eat comfortably, could have even had more. Enjoyed having a large kitchen, large table for playing games and cards, 4 tv's for children to which their movies while then men watched their football games, and of course the pool table was a great hit. Great location - a few minutes from down town yet far enough out of town to enjoy the quietness. Definitely will be going back.
9/25/2019
We finally got the code to get into the house after I sent an email (never got a response) called and left a voicemail (never got a response) and called back again and finally spoke to someone the day of checking in. It was a little nerve wracking not knowing the code and thinking we didn't have a house.
8/17/2019
Place was great and accommodations were exactly what we expected!
7/15/2019
Was incredible house with incredible views. Great weekend. Thanks!
6/6/2019
We were really happy with the quality of the property. It’s a beautiful home with a lot of room for a big group. The kitchen is huge and well stocked. Lots of bedrooms that were very comfortable. The only issue was the bunk room is not as pictured on the website. If I had counted on using all the beds pictured, we would have been short by two beds. The house was reasonably clean though it appeared some of the towels had been sitting for a while. Lots of bugs underneath when they were moved. This is a forest home so not unexpected. The only two items everyone noted: There are no towel racks in the bathrooms and there is no soap provided. We’ve stayed in several vrbo properties and they have all provided soap. Not a big deal but wish I had known ahead of time. The wooded setting is so pretty. The view of the lake is amazing and we saw deer, eagles, hawks and turkeys. Overall great place for our family!
4/15/2018
The house was much bigger than photos suggested! Really great space and we had a great time! The view was amazing as well.
12/23/2016
We had a group of 16 family members from across the US come and stay with us for Thanksgiving. The house was perfect and actually has more beds than we needed, even for our huge group. We really liked that the house was a real vacation rental without any personal stuff filling closets and cabinets. The luxury was felt by all of us. We loved our family vacation and we highly recommend this home and we will be using it again ourselves.
9/11/2016
The house was awesome. It provided plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing.
