About this cottage rental

Enjoy the great outdoors in rustic North Idaho. This adorable cottage on the East End of Lake Coeur d’Alene has everything you need for a great Vacation adventure.

Located just 17.5 miles (by road) to CdA and 4 miles by boat, you are just minutes from world-class golf, great mountain biking, hiking, boating, sailing, eagle watching and so much more. Enjoy your own private beach and dock or use the lake as your playground.

The fully equipped kitchen can accommodate several cooks at the same time. There are beautiful views from picture windows in living areas and front two bedrooms. The sunsets are often a picture postcard. It is a place where you can truly relax and refresh your soul.

Unfortunatly We must maintain a strict one dog policy, must be a small or medium size dog, no puppies. No exceptions.

Please be aware of the following "features" that may impact your decision to stay at our cottage:

* There are approx. 130 steps on the hillside trail from the parking area to the house. We recommend bringing or renting a boat for easier access and more FUN!

* The serpentine gravel driveway is steep. It was engineered and permitted per county code, but it may be difficult for some vehicles and drivers. 4WD/AWD is recommended. Look it over when you arrive and park at the top if you are not comfortable with it. Don’t even think about going down with a trailer.

* The house is on a lake-water system. We have the UV filter system tested periodically (latest report posted in cottage) , but we can't guarantee it's effectiveness. We are comfortable drinking it, but it it concerns you please bring drinking water.

* The bedrooms have open partition walls under a cathedral ceiling. Bring earplugs if anyone in your party snores.

* The 2nd bathroom is in the detached deckhouse. Very convenient for showering after playing in the lake, but not so great for late-night visits.

The cottage is very well maintained, stocked, and appointed, and the location is magnificent! The owners responded to all questions promptly and provided good advice, especially with regard to access. The dock is nicely located and strong for boating, and we took full advantage of that by renting a pontoon boat. The four adults and two kids had a great time with paddle boards, the paddle boat, and being towed around the lake behind the pontoon boat. We also anchored in a small cove and had a swell time swimming among many others doing the same! While the land-access stairway looks daunting, it is well-maintained and the strong railing makes it very manageable, even for me at 70 years old. Multiple decks and chairs make for relaxing times by the water. This is a place we would love to come back to again!

Gorgeous views, amazing sunsets and sunrise, perfect private access to the lake. Access to the cottage is a bit challenging if you are not in shape. Inside the cottage, there are numerous labels to indicate what is in a drawer, or for instructions, that was quite helpful, need another label on dishwasher to inform that the door is broken and to avoid surprise. The cottage is old but that is fine; just make sure to check diligently everything including the inside of the oven: after 7 days at that place, we noticed white powder dropping onto our food that was cooking in the oven. We checked the inside of the oven and the top part still had oven cleaner on! We contacted the host to request that someone should come to finish cleaning the oven and in the same time the individual fans as they were quite dusty, and we couldn’t use them. The owner responded that mid stay cleaning was not provided, and that we should find new accommodations that meet our standards….

Our family of 5 and 1 lil Golden Doodle had an amazing time at the cottage. The view, beauty, and serenity of the area was perfect! We are a fit family so had no problems with the 130 stairs, but thy do need to be considered by visitors. Its a steep incline. Carting heavy luggage could be an issue. The house appliances and furniture are dated, but the beds we’re comfortable….and the view from every room is amazing! The little yard and dock were a highlight! We parked jet skis on the dock and spent so much time hanging out and swimming! The TV and internet worked and the owners were accessible!!! Check in was easy! Make sure to rent 4WD or AWD for driveway! Thanks for the stay Blevins!!!! You own a little slice of paradise! We hope to come again and the muffins you left were a treat!

We thoroughly enjoyed this property and location on the lake. This is our second summer renting a lakefront home as a group of three families. It was spacious, clean, and provided everyone with plenty to do. The location was awesome, making it easy to rent a pontoon boat in town and having gas for it nearby. The hosts communicated clearly and inquired about our plans ahead of time so they could understand how best to help make our trip a good time. Wonderful all around!
