Carlin Bay Retreat on Lake Coeur d'Alene

Beautiful views of Lake Coeur d'Alene, and a 10 minute walk to Carlin Bay Resort & Marina. Our 3-bed, 3-bath, 3-level home sits on a hill 70 feet above the lake, looking out the floor to ceiling windows at Carlin Bay, the lake, and the surrounding hills. The newly renovated wrap-around deck provides spectacular views of the lake and beautiful sunsets.

The Loft En Suite has a king bed and jetted tub. Main floor bedroom has full/ twin bunk-bed with additional twin-size pull-out trundle and adjoining full bath. Ground level bedroom has a queen bed and adjoining full bath. There is also a queen-size sofa-sleeper in the living area on the main floor that has a comfy memory foam mattress. And a twin-size day bed nestled in the corner of the main floor living area.

The king and queen beds have plush foam-over-spring mattresses. The bunk beds have memory foam mattresses.

The fully complemented kitchen has plenty of storage space for food and supplies, and a large granite-topped island providing plenty of room for food preparation and serving. Dining table seats 8 and there is additional seating at the high-top table and the kitchen island. An outdoor gas grill is also provided just outside the kitchen door on the newly renovated deck.

On the lake side of the house is a secluded sitting area with a propane fire table where you can enjoy the view and perhaps a glass of wine after a day on the lake or exploring local backroads and trails.

We recently installed StarLink satellite internet service (June 2024). Back-up service is provided by a Verizon mobile hot-spot. Verizon signal is excellent. All cell providers' signals are boosted with a We-Boost unit.

There is a public beach and boat launch next to the Carlin Bay Marina, providing easy access to the lake within a 3-minute drive (about a 10-minute walk). Free public parking is available directly across the street from the beach park.

Overall, it's a great place to get away and relax, or use as a base to do some boating, fishing, hiking, bird watching, and exploring. Don't be surprised to see a bald eagle or two soaring overhead or perched on a nearby tree limb...
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The memory foam bed provides a full night's sleep, and the bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin between Coeur d'Alene and Harrison with the large deck partially overlooking the lake where we viewed waterfowl, bald eagles and deer that visited the property daily. The deck overlooks the neighbor's beautiful garden; their house is close to the property, which reduces privacy a bit. Other neighbors have farm animals, so renters should be aware of roosters crowing at dawn/dusk (which we loved). The highway is just one street over so noise is pretty constant. The house was comfortable with good towels, well stocked kitchen (except scratched pots/pans), and very clean (except dirty deck windows) but could have used patio shading, blinds in living room for p.m. sun, and more lights, and some niceties like a laundry basket and suitcase racks. Due to a heat wave, the house was hot, so we appreciated the AC and fans. We recommend the banister to the master bedroom be extended to the top of the steep stairs and sliding doors updated with outside entry/locks. Renters should be aware that the third bedroom/bath are in a totally different wing of the house on the other side of the garage as was the laundry center, which was very appreciated as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. The property was just down the road from Lattitudes food truck plus Harrison and their excellent creamery. The caretaker called us at check in to make sure we were settling in. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time and recommend the Carlin Bay Retreat to all.

Outstanding View on Beautiful BayVery nice home with outstanding lake view. Exceptionally clean and well stocked. Great place for our group of five friends to gather for several days. Comfortable outdoor furniture, spacious kitchen. Note that the bedrooms are on three different levels, with one downstairs and through the garage. Also the afternoon sun in July-August is intense and heats up the living area, but the fans kept it comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves and will likely be back!

Carlin Bay Vrbo vacation rental

It was ok. The neighbor is way too close, the driveway is small. The house is under construction. There was large amounts of mouse crap all over our motorcycles and atv that were left on the trailer in driveway and all over the deck and end tables. A faulty flapper in the toilet tank caused a lot of water damage which resulted in us not being able to use the power and having someone come over for 3 days to check on the damage. I planned this vacation to honor my son who passed in 2020, we made the best of it, but it was a little disappointing. There was definitely no turn around for a trailer like the website says. The owner also stated that it was possible that someone put too much toilet paper in the toilet, if that were to be true, the toilet would only flood until tank ran out of water. On a positive note the view is great!

Home sweet home

Comfortable and not fussy in any way. 3 of us taking retreat from the fires in neighboring states had a relaxing short stay. Although the house is not on the lake there is a lake view w only a few power lines to be seen out the large windows. The close neighbors have a beautiful garden. House is well stocked with kitchen basics. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice, quiet retreat

Lovely cabin in the woods with an incredible view of the lake. We had a family getaway and enjoyed the location very much. Our only suggestions would be that a few oversized baby gates be provided, as there are a lot of stairs and it was a challenge keeping our 2 year old granddaughter safe.

Spacious house with beautiful views

We had a wonderful time staying at Gary’s property. The home is spacious and well supplied. The view from the back deck is amazing!! We were grateful for the a/c on the main floor and loft, as the August sun beats in STRONG in the afternoon. Glad to see he updated the listing regarding the WiFi/internet and TV streaming; neither is provided by host. The deck and outdoor stairs definitely need some maintenance. Hopefully that will be seen to soon. Overall we had a great time in the Coeur d’Alene/Harrison area and we will definitely be back!

Lovely part of the lake but house is tired

The location was perfect - quiet, out of the way and close to a marina. But the house needs some love. The inside was very nice, but There is no grassy area as shown - if there was, it is now over grown with tall weeds. We were going to bring our boat but decided not to and that was a good thing as there is no way we could have turned it around. The outside was very tired and the deck was super sketchy. Pictures online seem to be after a remodel some time ago.

Great Stay

We had our annual family get together at Carlin Bay last weekend, the home was perfect. Large kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment, plenty of places to sleep and just hang out and visit. Our son brought his fishing boat and we used the ramp just down the hill, couldn't be more convenient, you could walk to it from the house if needed. The Latitudes food trailer at the ramp and park has a great menu too. The outdoor fire and large deck are great to watch sunsets from, and the grill was big enough to make a meal for everyone. Had no trouble getting information from the owner and check in was quick over the phone. Great location, great stay.
