Check-in: We were well prepared before arrival for check-in. Even though, I couldn’t locate the door code, the property manager answered right away and it was resolved before even the bags were unloadedKitchen: The kitchen was well equipped and had nice touches like nespresso with Torani sauces and plenty of staples. Outdoor dining space: A very spacious and nice setup with a covered patio, a couple of outdoor games, bubbles, balls, hula hoops. Our toddlers loved it. House: spans three floors, including a basement. Basement was cool at all times. The house central air worked great. Beds were comfortable and had a variety of pillows to chose from. Laundry: Laundry room was well equipped and we used the steamer before the wedding we were attending. Check out: I appreciated that we didn’t need to strip the beds. Checkout was easy and as one would expect.

This house is perfect! We were 2 families with teens and the room configurations were great, plus the outdoor space and location couldn’t have been better. Upon arrival check in was easy and we were pleasantly surprised how well the kitchen was stocked. We had a question regarding the laundry and our response from property management and our issues were resolved immediately with follow up. We would all love to return one day!

Family time

The house was everything we needed. The space was perfect for our 7 family members to get together and yet have separate private areas. Loved the decor and the high quality of it all. Very comfortable. With the exception of the key pads for access not working and not being able to contact anyone for about 2 hours, we eventually got that resolved and it was all wonderful after that!

Enjoyable Thanksgiving Weekend

This property was perfect. Our adult children are spread from Seattle to Livingston Mt and for the last several years we have chosen to meet in Coeur d'alene for Thanksgiving as it is half way for all of us. This was our first time at this address. Cooking a big dinner, the kitchen was a dream. Everything you can imagine to work with and plenty of room for everyone to get involved in the process. The dining room table large enough for us all to sit together This house has lovely furnishings, comfy beds, and a play area for children as well as 2 large gathering areas with couches and Tv's. Plenty of room for everyone. Easy walk to town and close grocery for the little things you forgot. We had a great time.

Immaculate and Lovely Home

We are 4 friends who meet once a year (for 30 years now). This lovely, extremely well appointed and immaculate home was a perfect fit for us during our stay in Coeur d'Alene, ID. The owners have thought of aboslutely everything that one might want or need for a 'home away from home'. The picket fence around the home makes it so appealing, so cozy, and so private. It is located on a quiet street near downtown. Highly recommend this lovely home!!!
