Beautiful and Welcoming Romantic Getaway

I booked this stay for my brother and his wife. They were enchanted by the breathtaking views, wonderful hospitality and delicious wine. They recently had a baby and were in serious need of some time to relax and recharge, there couldn't have been a more perfect location then the Lake Song Property with the most considerate hosts! Whether you are looking for a relaxing romantic getaway or a gathering with your friends and family this property is highly recommended! We will definitely be booking here in the future!

Jay and Kathy thought of everything from Champagne and crackers, to smores for the fire pit. The home has a beautiful lake view, lots of wildlife, and atmosphere for relaxing in elegance.

Best Ever

From the moment you arrive, you are greeted with water and a tour of the property. Jay and Kathleen have worked hard to make sure your stay is the best it can possibly be. This was our first VRBO experience and frankly we’re concerned we have now been completely spoiled and anything after this will be a huge disappointment, J&K we’re the best and we have already planned coming back. We just wanted to stay, it was so hard to leave!

Lovely home with magnificent view

We stayed at Jay and Cathy’s house Easter weekend. I was stunned by the beautiful view. Jay and Cathy are amazing hosts. They even had a charcuterie tray for us in the fridge. The house is beautiful and I cannot say enough about the view of Lake Couer D’Alene. Everything we could have wanted and more. The hosts do live on the property but they aren’t intrusive. I really want to live there forever!

40th Anniversary Get Away!!

What you see with the pictures is what you get... perfection!! Jay and Kathleen are the perfect hosts, the only time we bumped into them was in the driveway and upon our departure. Plenty of treats and snacks are provided and the view is worth it all. While away for the day on a biking adventure they snuck a 40th anniversary dessert into the fridge. A pleasant surprise. If our travels take us to this location again, a return visit is a must!!

Welcoming home with very gracious owners

Words can not describe our gratitude for the kindness, tact and hospitality afforded us by Kathy and Jay. Their home is wonderfully located with attention to detail inside and out. My wife and I are blessed to have had the opportunity to share your home. Our stay was memorable because of Kathy and Jay's warmth and generosity. The fact that they are present is what makes their house a home, and an exceptional place to hang your hat to make new friends and explore the beauty that surrounds you. God Bless you and your family.

What a beautiful place with unmatched views of the lake!

We stayed 5 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it! We made good use of the hot tub and fire pit with views of Coeur d'Alene Lake. Could not believe there were absolutely no mosquitos, as we fully expected to be spraying up to ward off insects. The house is very secluded which also allowed us to enjoy visits from lots of deer, hummingbirds and even eagles and osprey over the lake. Jay and Kathy made us feel like good friends, making their beautiful home open to us, with extra touches like champagne on ice, fresh flowers and trays of Lindt chocolates throughout the house. We had a great experience and would not hesitate to rebook here when in the area!

Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had!

Lake Song Estates is amazing and beyond even what the pictures show and Kathy and Jay were wonderful! While they were clear they would give us complete privacy if that was what we wished, we thorough enjoyed getting to know them so that by the end of our visit they weren’t just our hosts but had become our good friends! They are people of amazing thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity. Our family’s visit to their beautiful home ranks as the best VRBO stay we’ve ever had in over 10 years of using these type of accommodation services for our traveling and vacation needs. We hope to return as soon as we are able for another visit! Loved Coeur d’Alene, loved Lake Song Estates and loved meeting and getting to know Jay and Kathy! Cannot recommend enough!!!

Paradise

This was the most exquisite VRBO we have ever had the pleasure of enjoying! The hosts were so accommodating and thoughtful. Our stay has EVERY comfort of our home; chilled and room temp bottled water, chocolate treats, muffins, cookies, bath robes, slippers, beach towels, quality shampoo, conditioner and body wash, plush blankets, laundry detergent and dryer sheets. It was pristine and had every kitchen appliance and spice possible. We cooked and entertained our local friends and the host made sure all the patio furniture was wiped down before their arrival. So thoughtful! The view was breathtaking, better than the photographs. I recommend this stay 1000%! I was not sure how it might be with the hosts on site, but we never really saw them and knew if we needed anything, they would be right there to help! It was wonderful!

Entering rental space unannounced

I very much enjoyed Kathleen and Jays hospitality. Although, I was not fully aware that they would enter and exit using the garage and enter in the space we rented to enter to the apartment. Everyone felt uncomfortable as they popped in unannounced a Couple of times. I did laundry at 11pm and he came in announced to check laundry. Definitely an invasion of privacy and the spa hot tub is in front of the host apartment so it was a challenge of trying to enjoy our weekend but feeling uncomfortable and uneasy host being able to come in as they please without notice or knock or call.

Dear Future Guests, We have recently received a poor review. We booked a group of girls that wanted to have a quiet weekend before a wedding. The booking was with 4 guests and ended up being 8. We clearly say, we do not host parties. Their intent was to have a nice quiet time and enjoy being together. Well, it turn into a loud bachelorette party. So how do we react? Do we get mad or let you know we're going to make your stay much more enjoyable. Our guest's privacy is of utmost importance. We were never informed that they had any concerns. Our hot tub does have privacy certains and we did go into the kitchen when they first arrived in order to introduce ourselves. We have be hosting since 2012 and we only continue hosting because of the enjoyment we receive from great guests. We have a separate self contained wing were we live that has its own entrance. Our guests enjoy their space, privacy and the amenities. When you read our past reviews, you see our guests have had great times. We pride ourselves in doing a good job. Our guests think so also. The guest that wrote the review commented, "Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful space"

AMAZING GETAWAY

I brought my partner, daughter and best friend to stay for Memorial weekend to catch up and relax (very hard for me to do). It was an initial shock to the system that the owner's live and remain onsite as my search filter was set for full house but they were absolutely fantastic. Their home is beyond anything I could have hoped for and they stay in a separate area that is tucked away. The owner's gave us wonderful dinner recommendations and were delightful to interact with the few times that we did. All of us were able to truly relax and enjoy their cozy home with incredible views! There were a couple of things off on my phone's version of VRBO versus the website we discovered after our stay. For example, the check-in time was 4pm not 3pm. 3pm shows on the phone version. I suspect that is what led to the "whole house" confusion. But again, we would do it all over again and the owner's are fantastic! I truly feel like the owner's have done their best to disclose everything...VRBO issue?

Jay is a retired Professional Photographer, Film Producer and Videographer. Kathleen has retired from the medical field as an OT after 22 years with Kootenai Health. We love to travel and meet interesting people from all around the world. We started our vacation home enterprise in June of 2012. Wow what a response we have had.

Why they chose this property

If you are vacationing to see the beauty of Coeur d Alene, this property is the one to stay. We have a view of Lake Coeur d Alene that is unseen from any other point on the lake. You will be staying in an Estate that boost of 4000 sq ft of large windows and patios viewing the lake. If you are reading, grilling, having smores' at the fire pit or spending time in the spa, the view will always be there for you to enjoy. We are located in an up-scale neighborhood which is very quiet and private. The distance to downtown is a quick 15 to 20 minutes. We purchase this year around home with several things in mind. We needed to have a view of water. We wanted a large property of 2.5 areas or more. We wanted a home with comfort and upscale luxury. We found it and bought it. The last 30 years we have worked very hard to make it even more charming. We have hosted guests since 2012 and have enjoyed every day of our experience. Living on the property gives an opportunity to meet wonderful guests and share their stories. Since 2012
