A lovely house

We really enjoyed our time here. The house is spacious and well cared-for, with a great view of the water. Chad was always responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Great Vacation home in a quiet setting.

This home was excellent. Great location and a very quiet neighborhood. My wife and I spent 9 nights here for the fourth of July and enjoyed everything the house had to offer. The owner was very easy to work with and responsive to all needs we had. This is a great home if you're looking for a little down time in a beautiful lake community.

Cute town

Harrison is a very cute and friendly town. I enjoyed the small.town feel and the convenience of how close town and the marina was. House was spacious and well cared for. Hosts were thoughtful, prompt and even brought extra supplies mid stay. Even though house is within 30 miles of Coeur D'Alene, the road runs along the lake which is beautiful, but with the curves, it does take close to an hour to drive. Great house and town overall.

Spacious and comfortable! Great sunset views of the river from back porch and deck! The only surprise (that I missed from the online description) was that the second bedroom had a three level bunk bed with a full on the bottom level.

Biking the trail of CDA? Great place to stay!

Easy access to trail, good parking, great place to stay especially if you are planning a biking trip on the trail of the CDA. Contacted Chad to see if we could park there early and he gave us early access to the place to stash our stuff and head out on the trail to Plummer on arrival date. Absolutely lovely deck with overview of the lake and the inner covered porch as well. We played cards there in the evening. Super comfortable and great host. Thanks again.

Hot August Nights.

Very nice home, clean and with a beautiful view & large outdoor deck. Furnishings are of quality & comfortable. Home is close proximity to town, park, beach, marina & local eateries. A few areas of note include steep rock walkway/stairs in/out the home, rock landscaping, limited lawn or uneven yard, and portable air conditioning units keep the house cool, but they are loud making it difficult to have conversations or listen to tv/music. Our stay occurred on very hot summer days. Host responded quickly to questions.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location

Not quite what I expected

We stayed one night out of four because of the location. I have asthma and couldn’t sleep in the room with three beds stacked up! Too claustrophobic for my lungs. Also the view was mediocre at best, not really on the lake, but across the street from a swamp. The owner was gracious and communicated extremely well. I take responsibility for this choice, just didn’t research thoroughly, so it wasn’t at all what I expected. But you couldn’t go wrong working with this owner if this is the kind of setting you want

Coeur D'Alene Rail Trail

Excellent location to explore the rail trail. Beautiful views of the lake. The second bedroom is only good for children right now. If the lower queen bed were made into a trundle (pull out bed) it would also work for adults. We put the mattress on the floor for our stay. The deck is good. The yard is not useful. Price was appropriate. The overall rating reflects the second bedroom and the yard.

Quiet place on the lake

The house was clean and comfortable. Lots of amenities. The AC kept the main bedroom cool; the living room was comfortable but the unit struggled to keep up with the heat. Fall or spring would be my suggestion if you are sensitive to high temperature. This met my needs as I was looking for a quiet place to rest and reflect.

Great Experience

The property manager was super quick to respond and communicate. The house was even nicer than we expected and very well supplied. The view was nice. Staying in August, we very much appreciated the AC. The neighborhood and neighbors were very nice. The town of Harrison was charming and we enjoyed the shops and restaurants. The people in town were very friendly. There wasn’t a foosball table or tandem bike like the listing stated, but we were more interested in spending our time at the lake anyway, so it wasn’t a problem. We had a very enjoyable and positive experience!
