Property was not well maintained. Very uncomfortable beds/bedding. The layout of the property was weird. The Table is garbage and trying to eat on it was horrible because it was so uneven. The foundation of the house was iffy and The TV was basically a computer screen. The picnic table outside is in need of major repairs and the BBQ barely worked. For the money we paid, I am surprised this house was in the condition it was. The best part of the property was that it was in walking distance of shops and the water but overall Very disappointed. I don’t typically leave unhappy reviews, but if we had paid much less, I would have expected what was there - but since this was the price that it was, my expectations were higher.

Our family was exceptionally happy with our stay. There was more than enough room and lots of space for us to gather. The house is eclectic which makes it so fun and charming. We walked down to the lake every day and loved the neighborhood!!! We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time - the back garden was perfect for early evening cocktails. The house is beautiful and spotless. Thank you!

The worst. We were there for a wedding and with the condition of the house and all the other stress We ended up in the hospital Very bad time We did not stay in house Out money

Enjoyed staying in this old school Victorian home.

This house is located conveniently to downtown CDA, and we took advantage of that for morning walks and shopping. As a baby boomer, the home reminded me of visits to my grandparents when I was little. The older generation oohed and aahed over the original architectural features of this great vintage house. It served us well for our family gathering.

Had a great girls weekend. This place is awesome

This home is located walking or bike distance to everything. The owners provide a few bikes so that was fun for our almost 13 year olds. There are several rooms and beds so lots of sleeping space. It’s an old historic home so upstairs is quite hot and one of the bedroom AC units wasn’t working but there are fans to use if you need to.While the family room isn’t really furnished for gathering together comfortably there is a nice back deck and a playroom downstairs in the basement that looked comfy (we did not use it). The cottage put back was fun for the kids to feel independent. The kitchen is cute but not really set up for major cooking - but it’s fine for basic cooking. The cabinets and drawers are in need of replacing so seem a bit shaky. The upstairs bathroom was lovely with a deep claw foot tup with skylight over it - so nice for sunny morning baths! The owners are very responsive and ready to address everything you need!

Property was in a great location. We used it as a base for visiting silverwood. Not too far of a drive and walking distance to the lake. Big enough for two families.

The property sufficiently met our needs and the proximity to the Lake, downtown area and restaurants was a bonus. As out-of-staters we wore face masks and surprised that restaurant help was not required to do the same.

We showed up after a 5 hour drive to find some lady smoking weed in the cottage. I contacted the owner because the cottage was the main reason we rented the property. Our stay was May 31st through June 5th and he stated he didn't really think of it as a June reservation since it started in May. He offerred to refund $200 and would attempt to re-rent it. We stayed at a hotel.

This is review is long overdue but we loved this property. We were 3 generations and 2 families in this house. We stayed for 10 days for our son's wedding. Great neighborhood. Fun house. Great owners. Loved it. We hope to return.

Perfect property for our family reunion, cottage offers a nice space for a couple, or even a couple with small children. The floors are a little uneven for older folks, but everything was in excellent order: clean & well-furnished. Thanks to the management for accommodating our special request!

The house suited our purposes for the 10 days we were there, but the most important thing I would like to express is the fact that the house is not senior or handicap accessible in any way. I feel that you should express this fact on your website or you should put hand rails at the front door and down the steps in the back going out to the guest house. If someone was in a wheelchair or walker, they would have a very difficult time getting in the house. Maybe add some grab bars in the bathrooms; especially the main bath on the main floor. That shower was dangerous for seniors to climb in and out of. Maybe change the shower curtain regularly as it had mold on it because it lays in the water. We bleached it out. Secondly, the tv/internet service was difficult to maneuver around. So sorry we had to call numerous times about that. It would be nice if you would have step by step instructions typed up and laminated and have by each tv to prevent this from happening and adding limited cable would be great for guests. The refrigerator leaked so we kept a towel laying on the floor. Might have something to do with the ice, not sure. Maybe, repair and connect the ice maker. The window in the upstairs master bedroom is broken and comes completely out of its hinges. Get rid of throw rugs as they are tripping hazards for seniors. These are little things, but we bought a light bulb for the fridge, we bought a shower mat for the main bath on main floor and a sponge for the kitchen. There were plenty of towels throughout the house, but more kitchen towels would be nice. One of the sleeper beds downstairs was broken. Very important, there was a breach in the back fence behind the guest house. I put something in front of it, but our dog got out one day. Also, the fence needs repaired by and around the deck. A small dog could get out of one of those areas. The light above the bed in the guest house was not working. So sorry to go on and out, but I feel that it would be important to take care of these issues for future guests. We truly appreciate your hospitality and kindness during our stay and wish you continued success with your rental. Sincerely, Elisa K.

The house is lovely. It wasn’t a fiive only because the WiFi didn’t work and the little house and one of the upstairs rooms had an unpleasant. odor. We would rent again!

Although the house did what it needed to do. We had 9 adults and 5 kids. The location was good and there were plenty beds for all to sleep. It did lack in many areas. There was ants in the kitchen, the garbage hadn’t been taken out when we got there so we had to get creative to handle that. No cable tv, the cooking utensils were lacking. No ice machine, the fridge in the main house leaked water, had to keep a towel to soak up the water. We ran out of toilet paper and paper towels.

I spent a week in Coeur d'Alene with my 3 children, their spouses, and their children at the Blue House--which is really 2 Blue Houses. This was a nostalgia trip for all of us as we spent part of every summer swimming in Lake Coeur d' Alene when they were growing up. There was room in these 2 houses for all. The location is close to downtown and in a very nice neighborhood with restaurants, a Safeway, and thrift stores. We got needed baby toys and coolers from a thrift store for our day on a rented pontoon boat. We had some problems with the internet, but Andrew, the host was quick to fix them. We had a great time.

This house exceeded our expectations! The patio was perfect for our large group, and there was ample room for everyone. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Pros: plenty of space, Wii to play, old games, Netflix and cable, tons of beds, close enough if you wanted to walk downtown, about .5 mile, a couple of bikes you can borrow. Cons: We had to wash sheets on one of the beds because it was obviously not washed in a while. The house itself really needs some deep cleaning and TLC. We had major allergy issues here. This neighborhood is in the process of being gentrified, but not quite there. We had to make sure trash was taken out (there is a list of upkeep chores the renters have to perform posted in kitchen), the back half house was overflowing with trash though. And on top of that, RENTER pays a typical cleaning fee.

Our family had a great time at our family reunion in Coeur d'Alene. We loved staying in this home, there was plenty of room and we were very comfortable. It's a charming house in a great location. The owners were great, and we would definitely stay here again!

Owners very welcoming. House warm and cozy with allot of charm. Great outdoor and private deck. Location awesome. Close to town and small shops. Enjoyed the stay.

We had a fun time at this quaint and quirky blue house.. Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of town and the lake. It was clean and well supplied...with great antique charm

The Bowman's home is so charming, eclectic, clean (especially the bathrooms &bedding), well-equiped, centrally located, spacious, quaint, perfect. We really enjoyed sitting out on the back porch catching up, in the breakfast nook or in the front yard. It was the spot for spending a long weekend

Andrew and his family were so accommodating with our needs. He was upfront and honest with letting us know why he couldn't at first approve our reservation. And in the end he kept us in mind when his initial renter fell through. He communicated in a timely manner and his posting of the the accommodations, as well as the area, were spot on.

Great place, great communication, and very accommodating last minute!

We were immediately welcome with flowers, wine, candy and a warm fire greeting us when we arrived in the evening after dark. The house was perfect for us, charming, comfortable and roomy. We all had our own room. The location was great as we walked to town and through the neighborhood everyday and in the evenings it felt very safe. Our family will come back again. Thank you.

Our family stayed in, what our 11-year old deemed, The Blueberry House for two nights. The moment we walked through the doors we were charmed by the sweet antique-like furnishings, tuned piano in the living room, the inviting breakfast nook in the kitchen, and the spacious living quarters. We loved this house so much that we had more fun relaxing on the covered patio, eating cherries and playing cards, than we did sightseeing. Andrew and Lindsey were gracious hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we had just what we needed. They dropped off bicycles which was perfect for biking over to the lake. Andrew was kind enough to give us some tourist trips, which helped us make our way around town. The only downfall was that we couldn't stay longer. Fingers crossed we will one day return!

This home was perfect for our family to join to celebrate with 4 generations. This home is very comfortable and the owners are the perfect host. We had everything we needed for a family gathering with plenty of outside and inside space and privacy. The living room, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, comfy and well maintained. The heart of town was easy to get to walking &/or driving. Given another chance to visit beautiful Coeur d' alene again we would certainly consider staying here.

Our stay was perfect. The owners delivered exactly what was described. The home was clean and well stocked with basic supplies. Loved the downtown, some great shopping! Also grocery store was very close-which was very handy.

Property was very well maintained and clean and had everything available there that we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Would rent this property again.

When my in-laws and I were searching for a house to rent, we came across this gorgeous house near Lake Coeur d' Alene. We found the house affordable with all the amenities we were looking for. It was a major plus that the owner, Andrew was a gem to work with! Two payments allowed everyone to budget accordingly. The kitchens had everything we needed to cook for 10 people (plus 3 babies). I would highly recommend it to any group!!!
