Perfect location!
We had the best time during our stay, this was our first time visiting CDA and we will be back! We were able to explore by foot all that CDA has to offer. We enjoyed walking to restaurants and downtown while also spending time enjoying the lake from the patio! Jack was responsive and so helpful with recommendations. So happy to have found this gem!

All of the positive reviews are spot on, but if you've never been to CDA, you don't realize until you get there how great the location is. Tubbs Hill is just steps away and you will want to walk it several times to enjoy its spectacular views. Restaurants/grocery store either walkable or a short drive away. The porch view is lovely and the shoreline street is very quiet in September.

Great stay close to beach - kayaks and bikes
Very nice place with a front balcony that had great seating and a partial view of the lake. The place was clean and comfortable. Best of all was the garage full of bikes and kayaks! The beach was just a half block away across the street, so we could launch the kayaks down there. And easy to bike from the house in various directions.

Best Location
This location is the best, it was quiter than staying in town, but just a few minutes away. It is about as close to the lake as you could want, and stocked with everything you could hope.
The kitchen had everything we needed. When I thought the floor plan was a little dark at night, I found an extra nightlight in the kitchen drawers.
The garage was stocked with inflatables and kayaks and bikes and I can't imagine anything else we could have possibly needed for a fun trip.
This location is the best and we hope to stay here again soon. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Such a pleasant stay!
I booked this idealylic cottage for my wife's birthday. While the Seaplane I had booked for birthday was cancelled due to weather, we were able to take in the car show and shops as the random rain torrents went on. It was very enjoyable to return to this cottage, the fireplace, and the view of the lake! The host were very responsive in answering questions. It is very likely that we will book this place again the next time we stay in Coeur d'Alene!

Would stay here again
The property has a great location. The kitchen had a good supply of dishes, pans and utensils. There were plenty of towels. The rooms were comfortable. The view was peaceful. If you are staying in the wintertime when there might be snow, you might want to know that the garage is detached from the house. This wasn’t a problem for us, but it might be for someone coming during the winter time. I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect, little cottage in one of Coeur d'Alene's most magical areas
I live in North Idaho, so I know a bit about the area and the offerings. This stay was for a min-sabbatical and it was a godsend.
The little cottage is clean and warm, with a Nest thermostat at your command. It's quiet, well-stocked with cooking tools, oils, coffee and more. There is off-street parking in back which I suggest you back into if you drive a big truck like mine. It's so nice to be off the street that it's worth the neck-craning.
Across from the legendary Sander's Beach (small Sander's to be precise), it's a one minute walk to the lake where I enjoyed early morning a late night cold soaks of 5:00. Just a few block North is the equally legendary Tubbs Hill, which one can make an easy hike along the stunning views of the loop trail or into a semi-challenging summit if you choose to kit-up with a plate-carrier and/or backpack.
The restaurants and shops of Sherman Avenue are a 10:00 walk away. Sweet Lou's was good, Hudson's Hamburgers was better, though not health food. ;>
Returning the the cottage after these outings was everything I needed from the stay: silence (aside from occasional dog barks), comfortable furniture, including the bed and bedding and a well-outfitted kitchen from a good dinner.
In check-out, the hosts simply ask you run the dishwasher and they promise to take care of the rest.
I wholly recommend this place.

Lakeshore Cottage
Sitting on the welcoming front porch, being warmed by a gas table-top flickering fire, one looks across street (to the left) to Lake CdÁ. Cottage layout is very straight forward ... combined living/dinning room, kitchen to left, one bedroom off kitchen and other off living room where bathroom (tub/shower) is located. If neighbor would move their truck, parked in alley, parking in back would be much more convenient (small vehicles only in alley). We were out'n about most of the time, so didn't take advantage of cottage's TVs or games. Jack is a very responsive host - we'd certainly stay there again.

Idyllic Cottage & Vicinity
We were visiting family in the area and had the fortune of finding this gem of a cottage for our four day stay in CDA. The home is super clean, well appointed, comfy and stocked with everything you could ask for and more. I especially loved sitting at the dining room table with my early morning coffee and watching the sunrise over the lake (while my husband slept in of course :) The view from the front porch is lovely and the street is quiet. Our beloved furry child LOVED running around the fenced backyard. We had planned on exploring a little more of CDA but rarely left this sweet cottage we enjoyed so very much! Maybe we’ll see more of the town next time!

Great Stay in CDA
So happy to have stayed at this cottage on a 3-day visit to Couer d'Alene. The house itself was lovely (and the bed in the master bedroom was super comfy). The location was fantastic. I sat on the porch several times looking at the lake across the street. We walked to dinner from the cottage every night and it was great. Definitely will try to book here again when I go back to CDA.

Perfect stay
Jack's house was perfect for us during our first time in Coeur d'Alene as part of a long road trip. We loved how close the location was to the lake. We enjoyed the porch out front while having an evening cocktail. The house was clean and comfortable, and the back yard was great for our dog. I'm not sure we will get back to this jewel of an area, but if we do, we will definitely try and stay here again.
