We really enjoyed the house as a base of operations for a family vacation to Coeur d’Alene. Hiawatha trail, Silver Wood and lake days were our daytime fun; evenings were spent at the house watching the elk, deer and turkey families share the property.

Harold, thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad the home served as a great base for your family vacation and that you enjoyed the local attractions and wildlife. We hope to welcome you back on your next visit!
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.
Wow- what a fun time in Idaho:) memories to last and relationships built - all because we had the perfect place to relax and enjoy each other! Thank you

Joy, thank you for your wonderful review. We're glad the home provided the perfect setting for your memorable and relaxing time in Idaho. We hope to welcome you back for more great moments!
This place was a DREAM! I booked it and had everyone complimenting me all weekend on finding us such a gem!!! This is perfect for big groups! Not a single negative thing to say! On top of the amazing property, the service was A+!
Perfect for my large family to gather for our Dad’s 90th birthday. Plenty of room in the kitchen for all to help with meals, outdoor seating was comfortable and large enough to accommodate most everyone, beds were very comfortable. The home was decorated very nicely and was warm and welcoming. Loved the 2 guitars in the family room. We are a musical family so that was most appreciated. We could not have asked for more!
This was the absolute perfect place to gather my family for our daughter’s wedding. It was so spacious and clean. the grandkids had a blast in the basement playroom/bedroom. The other bedrooms were nice and comfortable. The kitchen was enormous and had everything we needed to prepare meals. Living area was absolutely gorgeous and homey. My favorite part was watching the wildlife from the gigantic windows. We could not have asked for a better stay. Thanks a bunch.
Had a great time w/ kids (2-17) & 8 adults. Plenty for kids to do and we set up pickle ball net in back patio. Used grill and smoker. Very nice appliances although did run out of ice(ice maker). Not unexpected w/ 16 in summer.
Rec highly.
We chose this property because of the size and number of people it would accommodate. We had our family reunion here with 20+ people. (some stayed at a nearby hotel) Plenty of room to spread out. Lots of outdoor space to play and run around. The water feature was beautiful, but it was very attractive to the little kids who wanted to throw rocks in it. (not allowed!) We had deer wander through the yard each day, plus turkeys. So fun! Highly recommend this property. Quiet and peaceful
We were a family consisting of Grandparents, children, and grandchildren. This home was perfect for our family visit to Coeur d’Alene. It had the space and beds we needed. The kitchen area and large table on the patio provided a perfect place to eat meals together with plenty of seating area for all. Our grandchildren loved the large patio. It was a nice size, safe place to ride bikes and scooters every morning. We loved our stay. The only suggestion we have had since we were there during a warm week with lots of sun, is a roll down shade on the south end of the patio to provide some more shade during late afternoon and early evening. Thank you for being the perfect place for our family.
This beautiful home was perfect for our large family to spend the Christmas holiday. This seven bedroom home had plenty of room for 10 adults, 7 children and our furry babies. The home was decorated for the holiday and was very comfortable for everyone. We really enjoyed the game room and pool table as well as the Traeger grill and barbecue. The outside seating area would be amazing in the summer and we plan to come back to this wonderful property in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at this house. The hosts were very responsive and checked in throughout our stay. It fit our group of 14 adults perfectly! Although the house is just a few minutes from town, it’s set up perfectly to where you won’t want to leave! We took advantage of the pool table, fire pit, and air hockey! Will definitely be coming back here when we visit CDA again!
Nothing bad to say about this property! We loved it the downstairs full of games was very nice specially with 4 kiddos they never wanted to leave and were entertained the whole time including the adults! the appliances were very high end nice quality. House was very clean and check out was a breeze! we all loved it and hope to come back again and stay longer!
Our stay was excellent. The house accommodated all 8 of the guests. We were able to hold our meetings in the living space. The weather was beautiful and we spent lots of time on the back deck watching the wildlife (elk, deer and turkeys were frequent visitors). The house was close to downtown Couer d’Alene and hiking trails. Would recommend this location for large gatherings. Bonus was property was dog friendly.
We really enjoyed the spot. It was nice having the privacy and space that we did. The house itself was excellent and the back yard was enjoyable too. A very nice place to relax after a day out and about! We were able to see whitetail numerous times. The turkeys came out multiple days during our 4 day stay. We even saw a cow elk on the first night.
Large home comfortably accommodated our family of 16. The outdoor seating area was great and a few played pool and watched movies on the large screen in the living room. The kitchen was well equipped and two large tables accommodated all 16 of us. We enjoyed watching the deer that frequently appeared in the lawn.
4 Generations of family stayed in this home for a nearby wedding. It is a great location for large gatherings of this kind. Please be aware of the firm limitation that only 20 people can be on the property at a time (even though it can easily accomodate more). We had hoped to invite friends over for an after-wedding dinner but were told that we couldn't do so due to the 20 person limit (even though they weren't going to stay with us).
The home has a kitchen with everything needed to feed a large gathering, great outdoor places to sit, comfortable beds, games (like pool, table hockey, etc) and more. We would definitely rent it again for a large gathering in Coeur d'Alene.
For a perfect stay, we would recommend that the owners add the following:
* Wardrobes in all bedrooms (many bedrooms had no closet and no place to hang clothes) with more hangers.
* Kleenex boxes
* Bath mats for all bathrooms
* An electric kettle or tea kettle to heat water for tea
* Citrus juicer
* Garlic press
* Large serving platter.
We stayed in many high-end vacation rentals worldwide. Other than the above, everything we could have wished for was available in this home.
