Pros:
-Huge dining table, great for family meals and card games
-The family room flows easily into the kitchen, making the house very open and great for entertaining
-Lots of extra sheets, pillows and towels
-The perfect blend of quiet and remote location-wise, but still easy to find and close to downtown
-Seamless to book, enter the house, and check out (minimal check out requirements, but early check out time)

Cons:
-It's a small thing, but the house didn't have any multi-purpose cleaner, which made it tricky to tidy spills throughout the weekend
-Lots of knick knacks, which gives the house a dated feel and made it difficult to store food in the pantry
-The tv is very old, and there is only a small random selection of DVD's. Upgrading to a Smart TV with access to streaming services like Netflix would be a huge upgrade!

This house was beautifully kept. The warm feeling of home away from home. Soft carpets, plenty of space to relax, and property had plenty of space for outdoor fun also. There were plenty of extra blankets, utencils and cooking ware. Check in and check out were a breeze. We would highly recommend this house for family fun, and it is only 18 mins from Silverwood. Better deal than any hotel in the area.

Honestly, there was not much to love about the home itself. It is advertised as sleeping 8, but that would be impossible with the amenities, beds, and chairs available. The home just felt dirty/musty and neglected. The front covered porch/deck could be lovely, but there were 2 dirty mismatched chairs, no tables, and a gas grill that had not been cleaned in a long long time. The location is beautiful. It is convenient to town, and the scenery is lovely. Too bad the home does not invite you to enjoy that !

Nice place to get away with the family! Quiet country home, yet close to Coeur d'Alene! We enjoyed our vacation! (The small gated area in the back of the garage needed to be mowed, but the rest of the property was mowed.)

My first bad review ever. This property has a ton of potential as a rental unit, unfortunately after staying there and reading 5 years of reviews it is clear that there is just very little effort put into maintaining this listing. For context, we paid a considerable ammount for 7 nights. So we were not a casual renter. Our initial experience checking in an hour after the designated check in time revealed the property managment company still on site. They quickly left as we arrived. Linens were still in the dryer, but worse, the floors and counters still had debris on them. As we checked in, we quickly discovered that the toilet paper and paper towels were nearly empty with no reserves. We immediately contacted the property management and recieved replacements about 24 hrs later. That was pretty poor response for saying we had almost no toilet paper left. A day later we found there were no trash bags either. Frustrated with having to make calls back and forth, we used grocery bags...for the cost of this rental...not acceptable. The kitchen is lacking basic supplies such as steak knives or a full set of bowls for a meal. These are easy to furnish from WalMart for minimal money. Just a simple fix to avoid frustrations. In looking at previous rental reviews going back 4 years, the same concerns were mentioned. $40 could mitigate this simple issue. But responses from the rental in 2017 claims that "this is being addressed". The furniture is old, but not character old, it is just in disrepair. The couch has holes in the fabric and the bed frames are falling apart. Again, for the price of this rental, that is disappointing. Finally the yard...while 4 years of responses to reviews claim the "sprinkler system is under repair", that is not the issue. The yard is overgrown with thistle and other weeds that make having kids or dogs play in it unsafe or unpleasant. The greenery around the house is completely overgrown and needs attention. The pictures do not reflect the current property condition. Again, a few hundred dollars for a landscaping company to come in and trim back the plants and treat the thistle would be a minimal investment to make the outdoor space useable. I am fine with not wasting water on grass in a drought. But at least mow down the weeds and thistle so the grounds can be walked on safely. We rent for a week in CDA every summer and typically spend a fair amount on the property. This is by far the worst bang for the buck we have spent

Great location, 10 minutes from downtown. Wonderful open living/kitchen/dining for visiting. Great for dogs. Quiet, lovely view.

beautiful acreage would love to live there permanently. only one tv had cable but it was from the early 80"s very limited channels. one roll of paper towels for 8 days..no salt no laundry soap. Paying this price you should have the basic essentials. loved the big kitchen homey feel! my two labs were in heaven!

Wonderful property. Could use a little upgrading of kitchen items.

we were exceptionally pleased with the location of this home. And the rich history inside the home from the past owner. this would be a music lover's paradise. Accessibility to Coeur d'Alene Resort and the lake and all the activities were close. it was nice to only have a five minute drive to Coeur d'Alene. The house is super clean yes the beds were a bit uncomfortable. we had an enjoyable stay the kitchen is huge and so is the living area. Thanks again.

Beautiful setting. Very comfortable home.

Location of the house was perfect! It was beautiful, peaceful and yet close enough to the city! Enjoy our stay!

We were looking for an open floor plan home for our family trip to cook meals and enjoy time visiting our son. This home gave us lots of space and a huge kitchen! Although the kitchen is large, it is ill equipped for cooking family meals. Some serving bowls, measuring cups and spoons, new grater, etc are necessary. There are lots of wine, juice glasses and coffee cups, but no tall beverage glasses for water or beer - we bought Solo cups.
We wanted to watch a football game together and the old box tv was a big downgrade. The master bedroom
sheets were a bit pilled. The screen on the sliding door to the back yard had a couple of big holes in it.

Lovely, solid house. They just need to give attention to some details in order to make it a great rental experience.

House was nice and the setting was perfect. Some things could have used a little tlc but over all it was a great place to stay.

Just outside the city, quiet area, and easy to find. Thank you!

The house was very nice, out of town but minutes away from downtown. The stay was very pleasurable.

Very nice place, quiet but not that far to downtown

Very good

This is an amazing place! We absolutely loved the idyllic setting (a nearby field had a mama horse and her 1 month old foal), and the comfortable and beautiful home arrangements. The kitchen has all the cooking items we needed, the grill was amazing. But the coup de grace was absolutely the piano and music and literature library. We all we stunned by the history in the place. Our thanks to the maestro's family for sharing it with us. And, if the maestro was listening, I apologize for my somewhat sorry rendition of Voi Che Sapete and De Vieni Non Tardar. Wonderful, wonderful experience. Fantastic vacation to Coeur d'Alene.

Stayed here with my parents and 3 little kids, room for everyone. Great library to peruse after the kids were in bed. Amazingly lovely piano and scores abounding, if you play. 4 miles from the gorgeous city beach and park where we spent all our time. We had intended to take hikes, but the beach was just too marvelous and convenient.

We came into town for "Car D'alene" and this home worked perfect for us, plenty of room for parking (we had two trucks, two trailers and two classic cars), it was quiet and the perfect distance from everything! We definitely will try to stay here next year. The only minor flaw is that the tv's are out dated but we weren't there to watch tv anyway.

Great property with no neighbors right next to you, and close to town and lake. The beds were good, but the lighting inside could be better. Would definitively recommend.

Love the area, house is spacious. Lighting isn’t very good in the house, but I would book again just for the area, it’s beautiful

House was in beautiful country setting, near horse farms. Easy access to downtown CDA and I-90. Very quiet out there!

This place was great and really enjoyed the location. I found the place to be extremely dog-friendly and the whole family enjoyed waking up in such a beautifully serene location. The place could use a little updating but for the price and location we were definitely satisfied with our stay.

Nice big house. Glad we came prepared because it was not very well stocked. But way better than staying at a hotel!

Very nice home, especially if your musically minded. My kids enjoyed the piano and the copious books of music and opera references. Neighbors dog were very friendly and met us on our porch on more than one morning. Kids liked the playmates.

Beautiful house in a lovely setting

Very nice home in lovely setting
