Locating right on the lake near Coeur d'Alene, this lake house was a great place to stay and enjoy the lake. Beautiful views and easy access to the lake with a private dock and floating house. Comfortable accommodations with easy check in/out. We loved that it was so close to downtown Coeur d'Alene and boat launches very close to the house. Would highly recommend staying here! ##### Amy P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Damian I. 2 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Love this place Beautiful lake house, ##### Damian I.

Beautiful spot, quiet and very remote. 2nd house on the lake is a huge plus if someone needs some space or just wants to be right on the water. The hike is not easy to get to and from the lake house so you will have solitude. Will stay again. Hot tube, grill are also a nice addition. Thank you. ##### Liza W.

I stayed here in early August,,, my boys and their gf in their mid twenties stayed in the lower floating home. They were so happy with the water access with their jet ski and their dogs loved playing on the little beachfront ! The upper home I stayed in with a family friend and we found it to be very comfortable and well-appointed. The views of lake are gorgeous from every room,,, hot tub was nice too. We would definitely stay here again! It is equal to about 5 flights of stairs to get up and down from upper house to lower house ,,, but we didn’t mind,,, it was worth it! ##### Joanne D.

Access road a little rough once you went through the gate. A lot of stuff laying around outside the upper house like it was a work in progress project especially by the lower level entrance. Otherwise a nice place to stay, good supply of kitchen utensils etc., ample supply of towels and bedding etc. Would consider staying there again. ##### Donald E. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### K L. 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Cute place for family Very pretty location. Quiet and private. I thought both houses were very cute and had all the basic needs. The hot tub and canoe was a hit for the family. The place was pet friendly and I feel like that always comes with a little cleanliness compromise, but it was not dirty, just a little worn. The downstairs boathouse bathroom toilet and upstairs dryer needs attention. I didn’t not enjoy being required to take the trash to the dump, I definitely feel like we paid well enough for that to be covered and it was not in the website description. Overall though, I thought it was a family friendly property and feel blessed to be able to hang out with family there. Thank you! ##### K L.

The hillside in between the two homes is not very safe. Both house have good layouts. Homes are deteriorating. Did not feel clean. ##### marcie e. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Tina D. 10 Sept 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed the view and the joy of the Lake We enjoyed our stay, loved having the 2 houses and that we were able to bring our dogs. This was our first family vacation In years and we were so thankful to do it here, with the beauty and the joy of the lake. We rented jet skis for 2 full days, it was a joy to have the lake house. Things I would be aware of: 1)we had to wash bedding from the top bunk before sleeping. 2) we had to clean the stove before cooking 3) we cleaned the back patio by the hot tub because we spent most the time out there In the lake house: 1) the coffee pot has the wrong glass-craft and so coffee will run out if not fixed 2) the lights do not work up stairs in the game area and the bedroom 3) the bed was uncomfortable ##### Tina D. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy T. 6 May 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Great location, property needs some TLC The location of the property is great - it has a beautiful view of the lake, is private and quiet. The downside was that both of the houses are run-down, poorly appointed and they both need alot of deferred maintenance. The furniture was dated and dirty, the main living floor was scuffed & dirty, the tile counters in the kitchen had mildew in the grout, there was mildew & tiles missing in showers, the heater in the main living area didn't work, there was water damage & falling drywall in the ceiling of the lower kitchen, the smoke detectors were missing or didnt have batteries, the hot tub was crawling with ants and there was trash and debris around the property - just to name a few things... ##### Amy T. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tammy H. 14 Sept 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Horrible No heating on the main level of the home. There is a heater still connected to electricity that showed burn marks on the wall and a sign says “burned out Oct 2023” When I contacted Vacasa they said, “heating wasn’t listed as an amenity” . Which isn’t true. Tap water was yellow. Living room furniture is very dirty and worn. You could feel the springs poking you. Tile grout in the kitchen has mildew. Disconnected smoke detectors. Yes the view was pretty. But the experience was poor. Vacasa has responded to prior reviews, like this one. And prior reviews list the same issues. They are not addressing the issues, just say “sorry” ##### Tammy H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Darlene D. 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Two Lakefront Homes - not worth the money I had a lovely vacation with my family and will never let accommodation ruin my trip, I knew that the place was not luxurious in any way, BUT it was filthy and so very run down that I cannot in good conscience leave a favorable review. I cannot imagine why any reputable rental company would continue listing this as a possible destination. Someone from your company needs to take a trip here and look at the value your customers are getting for their money. The furniture is old and broken and filthy and screens don’t fit on windows so bugs are getting in. There is a tile countertop in the kitchen with grout that is so old and filthy that I was afraid to put anything down on it. The only good thing I can say about this rental is that the lake is gorgeous and the scenery amazing. The houses need so much work just to get them up to an acceptable standard and the cleaning staff needs to be fired. ##### Darlene D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen W. 5 Sept 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake House We enjoyed access to the lake and having a separate house for the teenagers was worth some of the less desirable qualities of the property which is definitely somewhat run-down and tired, but functional. I'd come back just for the 2nd house to give the teenagers their space. The hot tub took some work, but after adding appropriate chemicals (purchased in town since the on-site chem bottles were empty) and running the filter for several hours, it was a very nice addition to the evening routine. The evening serenity of the lake was interrupted my the truckers riding their compression brakes down the hill across the water. Certainly, not the fault of the property owners, but something to know about. The access road is somewhat steep and unpaved, but wasn't an issue. ##### Stephen W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lee D. 11 Jun 2023 Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Good location, bad access, house needs repairs We spent a fun weekend with family at this house. Not sure it was worth the price. The lower house was very nice with comfortable furniture. The good- 1. Lake location: having 2 houses was a big plus in that you get the lake-level view and a wider view from the upper house. Great views and the convenience of being on the lake for boating and swimming. 2. Hot tub: probably the highlight of the property. Great view from the hot tub at the upper house. 3. Upper house deck: great BBQ grill and tables. 4. Washer and dryer worked great and having a tankless water heater meant no running out of hot water while the washer and shower are running simultaneously. The not-so-good- 1. The access road is a VERY NARROW and VERY STEEP single-lane dirt/gravel road with only a couple of wide spots for passing oncoming cars. Very sketchy at night and in the rain. And there isn't a lot of room to turn around in the driveway (think 10-point U-turn). 2. The upper house furniture was terrible. The beds are hard and uncomfortable. The kitchen chairs are falling apart. The living room couches and chairs are old and broken down. Big contrast to the nice furniture in the lower house, but... 3. The lower house is a 2-story floating house, which means there is a lot of wave action in the house, especially on the 2nd floor. Most of our party was unable to be in the house or on the deck for more than a couple of minutes before being affected by motion sickness. Will not be renting again. ##### Lee D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### leah p. 18 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great vacation house but be open-minded This house was great for our large family get-together. We made countless memories and it had many opportunities for fun. We were easily able to dock our boat. The pros: -Size of the houses -a closet full of clean folded sheets and blankets -bbq ready with propane -fire wood on site for use -clean kitchen and a lot of utensils and cooking supplies -good wifi -pets allowed -driveway would easily fit a fourth car despite the listing allowance. Something for VACASA to consider. -most beds were very comfortable -T.V. was added, but we didn't end up using it:) - Hot tub was up and running (but was dirty and didn't smell any chemicals like normal so unsure of that) -Prior to our stay, vacasa was quick to respond to inquiries through the VRBO app The Cons -electrical setup in one of the kitchen cabinets had an unsafe setup. -this is important: the shower only lasted for 1 person. We had 10. So 9 people either had dripping water to bathe themselves for 5 days, or no water at all. This also meant the inability basically to do laundry. So having a washer and dryer didn't matter. No water would come out of the sink to wash our hands after using the restroom. -foul smell in the boathouse and water from the sewage system setup. Not sure if this is normal. -The step from the dock to the boathouse is unsafe. It needs a bridge system of some sort -steps are steep be ready for a cardio workout -couch felt dirty. It needs upholstery cleaning -Dead bugs in ALL the window seals. These looked to be old not new so even though many have made this comment here, it still has not been cleaned. -Wasn't aware there was a gate code and it was very hidden in the instructions from VACASA. This caused two cars to wait for almost a half hour while we tried to figure this out. I texted the phone number that was given to me on a pamphlet in the house, but no one ever responded to this. I also tried calling. Eventually another home owner saw them and let them in. I did finally find the code on the app -No A.C. that we could tell. This might matter for some -several broken outdoor chairs ##### leah p. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Stacey B. 3 Jul 2025 ##### Stacey B.

However, you need to be ok with little critters, after all it is in the woods.. also, this is not a luxury stay, which worked out for us as we wanted the experience of being in the woods. Be aware that the dirt road is very narrow and in a cliff and if you are afraid of heights this is not the house for you… we would however gladly stay here again! ##### Jenifer S.

There's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the scenery, beds/ bedding were comfortable, and the kitchen/ grill had all the accoutrements we could need. Our youngest kiddo was four and had no problems navigating the steps down to the boat house. All the kids (and grownups) loved jumping off the dock and swimming by the boat house and the kids were over the moon for the air hockey table. Great fun! ##### Tricia W.
