Perfect for families, groups, or special occasions, this spacious retreat comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests with modern amenities, thoughtful touches, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the “impeccable cleanliness,” “stunning decor,” and “prime location,” making it one of the top-rated Vacation Rentals in the area.

Step into a charming, tree-lined neighborhood and be greeted by a picturesque front porch with a cozy swing, ideal for morning coffee or evening chats. Inside, the home blends vintage charm with modern elegance, featuring high-end finishes like Lutron dimmer switches, beautiful tilework, and a fireplace that adds instant ambiance. The open-concept living area is perfect for gatherings, with plush furnishings and a smart TV for cozy movie nights. Guests love the “thoughtful details,” like wireless charging docks, board games, and a welcome book with local recommendations.

The gourmet kitchen is a standout, fully stocked with top-of-the-line appliances, a Nespresso machine, coffee maker AND French press, and even spices and condiments. “The kitchen had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving feast,” one guest noted. The dining area comfortably seats large groups, perfect for family dinners or celebrations. Downstairs, the rec room is a hit with all ages, boasting a pool table, Pac-Man arcade game, and a TV nook. “The kids had a blast learning pool,” shared a family, while adults enjoyed the “fun, relaxing vibe.”

Each bedroom is designed for comfort, with plush beds and premium linens that guests describe as “incredibly comfortable.” The master bedroom on the main floor offers an en-suite bathroom with original 1911 clawfoot bathtub and dual head shower, while the other bedrooms upstairs and downstairs provide privacy for groups or families with teens. Three spotless bathrooms are stocked with toiletries, makeup wipes, and even feminine products, earning rave reviews for their “hotel-like quality.” The home is pet-friendly, with guests appreciating the “dog-friendly touches” including a fully fenced back yard.

Outside, the spacious back patio with couches, Adirondack chairs, string lights, a BBQ, and tables is perfect for al fresco dining. “The outdoor space was a highlight,” said a guest, who also loved the festive holiday decor during the winter months. The home’s safety features, like stairway heaters for icy steps and a first aid kit, ensure peace of mind. Its location is unbeatable—walk to restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, or the lake, with easy access to Tubbs Hill, Silverwood, and TriplePlay. “We barely used the car,” one group remarked.

We pride ourselves on responsiveness and guest comfort, offering early check-in when possible and a seamless experience. “Jeremy and Melissa thought of everything,” guests say, from holiday decorations to popcorn for movie nights.

This home is amazing! Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. Backyard courtyard was wonderful for hanging out as was the basement gathering area. Bedrooms were comfortable for 4 couples.Enjoyed the short walk to downtown and neighborhood recommendations.

You will absolutely NOT be disappointed if you rent this beautiful home from Jeremy and Melissa! We are a family of 9 including our 4 month old bundle of joy (and our pup, Max), and we were very comfortable here. Having two floors of living space (the pool table and PacMan arcade was so much fun) was such a plus! The backyard living space was perfect for viewing the meteor shower! Whatever you need, it’s there! All the comforts of home and so much more. The proximity to downtown Coeur d’Alene was perfect and we would love to come back to this home away from home!

This home was absolutely beautiful and in a perfect 5 minute drive or 10-15 minute walk from downtown. The neighborhood was gorgeous and quiet. My friends and I are already planning a trip back! It was perfect size for 10 people without us feeling cramped. Lots of space to hangout in and outside the home. The kitchen had more cooking utensils than majority of rental homes!

Beautiful house and back yard with lots of amenities. Great location. Except for the stairs is 1 old proof . The owners are very responsive. We got locked out of the house due to the Wi-Fi and they were on it within 5 minutes. We will stay here again for our next family reunion, if available.

Great Fall trip

Super cozy home for the fall season! The only hiccup was the oven was a bit complicated and one side would not stay on. But I may just be use to turning on a stove the old fashion way bs a touch screen type. But it was fun, comfortable and great walks to downtown and the water!!!
