Our family enjoyed this property again this year for our annual family gathering. This house is clean, spacious and full of lots of fun activities. We enjoyed the game room very much with all of the equipment and the toys and games in the cupboard. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked with equipment for delicious meals.
Whispering Pines Retreat was the perfect location for our family to stay together while attending a family reunion at my sister-in-laws house. The house is spacious, beds very comfortable, bathrooms well supplies with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, well stocked kitchen with coffee and spices, lovely back deck to enjoy our morning coffee, and the tree house was a huge hit with our grandson. This home is perfect for families traveling with young children. We did not use the game room, but it was a nice addition to the property.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re so glad Whispering Pines worked well for your family reunion and gave everyone a comfortable place to stay together. I especially love hearing that your grandson enjoyed the treehouse! Always love to hear that simple pleassures are still enjoyed by children of all ages :-) It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Being from Phoenix visiting Coeur d’Alene to escape the heat was on our bucket list. We looked at a lot of places and chose this one. We were really happy with it. It has four bedrooms and three baths and all sorts of relaxing areas not to mention a game room in a converted garage. And the treehouse was the big hit, with some of the kids and grandkids.I’m really glad I chose this area to stay. Only 5 miles in a quick drive into Coeur d’Alene and 20 minutes to a half hour to get into Spokane. The small city of Post Falls also offered plenty of things to do. The number of beautiful parks with walking trails around the property were two numerous count.Highly recommend to stay here!
This was a wonderful home - we came with all our kids and grandkids and it was amazing. Arrived to a very clean home and they had everything we needed and more. Appreciated all the kids toys and games, ice chests, camping chairs and lots of beach towels. Beds were really comfortable. The game room was so fun and they LOVED the playhouse. The owner even made a scavenger hunt and printed it for the kids to find little things and had a prize box at the end. So clever!! We cooked all our meals there and the kitchen had everything we needed for our large group. They were very responsive when we messaged them. Thank you for sharing your amazing home. We loved it!!

We were surprised how quiet this neighborhood was given the proximity to restaurants/grocery. Our kids loved the game selection. Great stay!

Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood and the perks of being close to everything. So happy the kids loved the games—come back anytime for more fun and relaxation at Whispering Pines Post Falls! 🌲🎲
We travelled to Post Falls, ID for a surgery at Northwest Specialty Hospital. Whispering Pines was the perfect place to stay after surgery to recover. The space was perfect and the garage/game room kept our son very entertained. The primary suite was so comfortable and private while I rested and recovered.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re honored that Whispering Pines could be a comfortable and peaceful place for your stay during recovery. We’re glad the space worked well for your family, that the game room helped keep your son entertained, and that the primary suite provided a quiet, private place to rest. Wishing you continued healing, and we would be happy to welcome you back anytime.
This house was everything and more! We came into town to visit family, and it was so nice to have somewhere to host them for meals. So much to keep the kids busy, giving the adults time to connect. We will definitely be back!
Everything about this stay was great! They had everything to make you feel right at home and comfortable. The host was very communicative with details and check out. Would definitely stay again and recommend!!
Great property managers. Adorable house very comfortably. Would definitely stay there again.

Our group of nine adults had a wonderful stay at Whispering Pines. The property managers attention to the smallest details of the house from entry to exit should be a model for others to follow! Highly recommend staying at this wonderfully thought out house!

Clean, comfy, spacious, great location!
Love this house! It’s equipped with everything needed to make our stay so enjoyable and simple. Spending time at the house and in the yard was very comfortable during downtime, and its location made for easy access to great restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities. Thumbs up to Paula and Michael for being such awesome hosts and providing a “home away from home” kinda place. We look forward to returning!

We hope we can host you again someday and you can see how are kindness rock garden has grown. ;-).
Our two families stayed here for a soccer tournament. This house was PERFECT. There was so much for the kids to do. Between the game room and tree house, there was even a scavenger hunt the kids loved. We will for sure stay again for future tournaments

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear the house was a perfect fit for your two families during the soccer tournament. It makes us so happy when the kids get to fully enjoy the game room, treehouse, and of course—the scavenger hunt! (We had a blast putting that together!)
We’d love to host you again for future tournaments or even just a fun family getaway. Whispering Pines Post Falls will be ready and waiting!

About the host
Hosted by Paula
Hello! We’re Mike and Paula, the owners of Whispering Pines Post Falls Retreat. We’ve owned this home since 1996 and have many wonderful memories of raising our family here. We LOVE Idaho!
Since retirement, we spend our time between Oregon and Idaho, where we have family and roots in both places. Renovating our longtime family home into a light, bright, and comfortable retreat was a labor of love, and we hope you and your family enjoy making memories here as much as we have.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions, and follow us on Instagram @whisperingpinespostfalls.
Why they chose this property
We love this location because it makes exploring North Idaho easy. With 60 lakes within 60 miles, getting out on the water is just one of many ways to enjoy the area. The Spokane River, Lake Coeur d’Alene, Silverwood Theme Park, golf courses, restaurants, shopping, hiking, and other outdoor adventures are all within easy reach.
At the end of the day, you can return to a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac that feels tucked away while still being conveniently located less than 1 mile from I-90.
What makes this property unique
Whispering Pines is especially well suited for multi-generational families and groups who want to spend time together while still having room to spread out. Two separate family rooms offer flexible gathering spaces, while the garage game room gives kids, teens, and adults another place to play and unwind.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers multiple spaces to gather, play, and relax, including our classic, unplugged treehouse ~ a guest favorite for old-school outdoor fun.
Together, these spaces make it easy for different generations to enjoy the home in their own way while still sharing the experience together.
