The Space: Experience ideal lakeside life at the Downtown Lakefront Retreat—located directly in front of Lake Coeur d'Alene with Coeur d’Alene City Park and Fort Sherman Playground right across the street. In the highly sought-after Fort Grounds neighborhood, you'll be just steps from the beach, the park, and you’ll be within easy walking distance to miles of public beaches and the heart of downtown Coeur d’Alene. This home is truly in a dream location!
No car is needed when you stay here, but you still have options with garage parking for two, complete with an electric car charger, and off-street parking for up to three more cars.
The home itself is just as alluring as the prime location. You’ll enjoy plenty of style and space in this two-lever rancher with brand new mattresses recently added for every bed in Spring 2024. Upon entering through the front door, you'll find an open living and dining area with comfortable seating, a fireplace, Smart TV, and views of both the park and the beach. The wooden dining table seats six beside a beautiful wall of built-in cabinets and granite-top buffet. Continue down the tiled hall to find a large, open kitchen with granite countertops, high-end appliances, a wet bar, and a breakfast table with additional seating for four. Here you'll find access to the side patio with lounge chairs and outdoor dining for four with an umbrella for shade.
Around the corner, the master bedroom awaits with a king bed with new mattress and topper, desk and storage space, extra seating, and views of the lake. An ensuite bathroom boasts granite counters with a double sink, a large tiled shower, and a walk-in closet. You'll find a half bath across the hall.
Across from the kitchen, a den awaits with cozy seating, a desk space, and a full bath. Continue down the hall to find the back patio through the glass sliding door where outdoor dining for six awaits beside a beautiful, vase water feature fountain. Kick back while dinner sizzles on the grill or venture out to the private hot tub, perfect for relaxing on a crisp evening.
A washroom with a full-sized washer and dryer, sink, and plenty of counter and cabinet space awaits at the end of the hall. Then, round the stairs to the lower level where even more space allows for play and more guests.
A large entertainment room with Flatscreen TV and leather seating provides a great space for relaxing with your favorite movie or TV show. There's even a table with seating for two for all your late-night snacking. Continue down the hall to find a full bathroom with a standing shower, a large bedroom with a King bed and smart TV, a room with two twins, and a large room with a queen bed, extra seating and a desk.
When you’re ready to take advantage of the incredible location, the options are endless. The downtown Coeur d’Alene area is less than 2 blocks from this home, including City Park right across the street with playground equipment and concerts every Sunday afternoon in the summer months and large grassy lawns for throwing a football or frisbie, volleyball nets and a sandy beach for swimming. Miles of public beaches, a dog park, Tubbs Hill (suitable for mild to wild hiking and swimming opportunities!), shopping for all ages, a variety of fantastic dining options, and more!
You couldn’t ask for a better location to experience all that Coeur d’Alene has to offer with ease!

Fourth time staying at the house because it is comfortable with a great location -- on the lake, on the park and walking distance to the CDA Resort and town. Fun in summer and winter! A great stay as always!!
This large and comfortable home is a great gathering place to enjoy the lakeside city of Coeur D'Alene, ID. We held a family reunion in the house and its location was an easy few blocks to downtown stores and restaurants, as well as parks, walking trails on Tubbs Hill, the marina and the city beach. We really enjoyed our stay!
Property is in a great location. Walk to everything! Back patio was wonderful and private. While the house is still located steps from the beach. Could not ask for a better stay.
This home is cozy and comfortable. It felt like going to stay at Grandma's house. It was clean with comfortable beds. The location is perfect if you enjoy nature. We enjoyed walks on the beach as well as walks in the park. We look forward to staying in this home again.
We went to CDA to golf and hang out with family. We brought our dogs and the back yard was perfect for them. The house was walking distance to town and right next to a park. There was plenty of space and even a garage.
Perfect location and wonderful home! We had a wonderful time. The story of the home was the best! We realized our Grandparents were great friends with the owner’s family and for sure attended cocktail parties there. Our Grandparents were Ed and Ellen Gallivan❤️
Love the location and all the house inside and out.We stayed at this home 2 years ago and loved it.We tried to get it on Mothers day it was not available.
Next year we'll have to reserve it earlier so we can do it on Mothers day.
We all had a wonderful time!
We had a great time at this beautiful home. This location was perfect for our family gathering. January is not a typical tourist time so we were not here for any activities offered by CDA. We enjoyed this home and the spaciousness for our time to relax and catch up. There was easy access to walk in the park next door and short drives to stores. The view of the lake was peaceful and beautiful. We would like to return sometime in the warmer weather to enjoy outdoor activities and the hot tub.up.
Great house! Perfect for a family with small kids. Fenced back yard. Conveniently located to downtown and lake. Great park next door. Cable did not work in the living room. Upgrade to satellite would be nice.
The house was very comfortable and the location was 10
Was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay
One bed downstairs appeared to be broken. You may want to look at that not very comfortable for the couple that stayed there .
Would have been great if the outside patios weee clean and sprayed for spiders
We will rent again. The family enjoyed the beach access etc.
Thanks !
We absolutely love the location. Plenty of room very quiet and the views are amazing! A few things need maintenance - two strips on the front patio blinds came off during our stay. Also, a piece on the top part of the refrigerator came off and we couldn’t figure out how to get it put back on. The comforter on upstairs bedroom had several stains on it. The furniture is a bit dated but functional. The curtains could use a bit of maintenance as well. Overall we loved the location and the price was reasonable. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
Overall the experience was very nice. This was our second stay at this property. We enjoyed ourselves greatly. Property management handled a couple problems quickly. Improvements for an even better stay would be cleaner outdoor areas upon arrival, some updates to some older items (quality bedding, window coverings, new umbrella). Also, it would be nice to have some basic condiments, seasonings, oils, and other cooking items).
We will more than likely stay at this property again as it is very comfortable and one of the best possible locations for an enjoyable stay.
Our family stayed at this CDA home September 29-October 8. A total of 9 nights. Upon arriving, the home was very clean and communication with Vacation Authority was excellent for our check in and check out. The large hot tub was nice and worked well in the back beautiful courtyard. We stayed here for the location and yes it was just what we expected with beautiful views of Lake Coeur d' Alene. We loved the double ovens in the kitchen which looked brand new and the office near the kitchen. Some things that could be done to make the house more comfortable would be to replace the mattress in the master bedroom upstairs as it was uncomfortable and lumpy, put one rocking chair or glider upstairs, install a new cooktop in the kitchen, enlarge the downstairs bathroom as it is inadequate for the 3 bedrooms downstairs, put a dresser in the large bedroom downstairs, purchase some metal bowls for mixing and serving large salads, purchase a hand mixer as I couldn't find one. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, the location of the lake, park, and pickleball courts.
The host was extremely helpful and communicative with us. The home was super clean and everything that had been written up about it in the description was right on.
Location, location, location! We absolutely loved staying here. Home is right off the city beach, park, and a short walk to downtown for your morning coffee or dinner.
Our two family stayed in this home and we really enjoyed spending time at the beach, at the park and relaxing out front looking at the beautiful scenery.
Perfect location and the house was cleanEnjoyed the areaWould recommend brighter lights downstairs Loved the location Thank you and we left a game for your property

Not well taken care of..had to call manager about windows not being clean, landscape extremely overgrown, Teflon pans that were scratched to extreme, refrigerator not working properly...a few other things as well....could not have asked for better location!!!
The house was very nice and the kitchen was well appointed. The hot tub was a great addition. The location is perfect for enjoying the views and happenings around CdA!
Father’s Day weekend in CDA. It slept everyone great, we needed 4 bedrooms. We cooked breakfast and grilled steaks and house provided everything we needed. Loved walking downtown. Great house to people watch from as you are right on the lake and the park. Definitely would stay here again.
This home has a beautiful location right across the street from Lake Couerd’alene. The size of the home held 8 of us comfortably.There are three bedrooms downstairs but only one restroom. There is an extra full bath upstairs, but kind of an odd location. We really enjoyed the location of the house and could walk so many places. We thought an upgrade in kitchen pans would be great.
