Cozy and lovely!

This house was so fun! Walking distance to everything we love about Coeur d'Alene in the summer! Park, beach, restaurants, etc. Skate park for the kids to play and a small park to play! The house is small but so cozy! The queen bed upstairs is so comfortable. The beds in the 2nd room is great for kids but i wouldnt recommend for adults because they are small. The ac works great in all rooms and it kept a great temperature during our stay. The kitchen is small, so not a stock up kind of refrigerator but restaurants are everywhere! Washer and dryer work great and if you want a cda experience i highly recommend!

Great location!

We had a lovely stay in this home. The location cannot be beat - we were able to walk everywhere: across the quiet street to an amazing children's playground, as well as the beach/boardwalk and into downtown where there were a ton of delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The home itself was clean, and the hosts included extras such as laundry detergent, shampoo, bottled water, and so on. They also included a wagon, beach towels, beach and sand toys....they've thought of everything! Our only complaints were that the bedrooms need curtains (the neighbors have a very bright orange security light that stays on all night and shines directly into both rooms), and the fruit on the large tree in the yard is rotten, and the smell was quite terrible exiting and entering the home. If we are planning a trip to Silverwood or to the Idaho area for any other reason, we would definitely stay here again!!

Great house, fabulous location

Would absolutely recommend this property. Walkable to Main Street and all the water activities. Great outdoor space. It’s a separate house behind the main house, so very close to another rental, so it’s safe and quiet. Host was prompt and easy to communicate with, and my friends and I had a lovely trip!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. I’ve traveled to Coeur d’Alene several times before and this stay has been my favorite, by far! Can’t beat the location, amenities, and convenience of not having to use our car to stroll downtown for perusing, eating, and activities. Great find and we absolutely loved our stay!

It was the Perfect Location!

Everything we wanted to do was within a walking distance, or a short drive. The park across the street was beautiful and the beach could be accessed easily. Also at the beach area, was a ferry ride, and paddle board rentals. It was a bit cold, so we plan to come back in the summer for parasailing and a boat rental. Sherman Street was a big hit for shopping, restaurants, live music. There was room for everyone to spread out or come together. Would definitely recommend!
