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!

Outdoor fires are restricted Memorial Day through the end of October. We appreciate your help in protecting our beautiful lands and properties.

Great location! Large house for families!
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.

Blue Water Beach House
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.

Great comfort and location
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.

Lake house
The house has a perfect location, easy to get to. Once there you hardly need a car, most everything is in walking distance. The walking is safe and very clean. NO litter, police presence on bike, golf cart and car. At 10 pm there is no noise, only moonlight and cool breezes. Lovely experience.

Perfect location
We were in town for the Ironman and it was literally the best spot in town for the race. The views from the living room are insane, almost too good to be true. We arrived and were unpacking when a sea plane landed right in front of us, incredible! Location was 10 out of 10. Aside from location, the house was perfect for our family of 7. Plenty of space for all of us, the dogs loved the back yard, the jacuzzi was amazing. The kitchen was fully equipped and we had some amazing meals there. I even was able to charge my EV there! Extremely happy we rented this home and I hope we can do it again soon. We made core memories here...we need more.

The Best Staycation of our Lives
We rented this iconic home for a family reunion and birthday. Our children grew up in CDA, playing on the beach and in the parks. This year we rented this home for the 8 of us. It is steps away from the CDA city beach and the CDA city park. It is easy to see why so many people love to visit our town when we see it from this vantage. There is more than enough room for privacy as well as togetherness in this home. The patios (there are 2!) offer a welcome view of the people passing by, and also a totally private place to enjoy some solitude and listen to the water flowing through the water feature. The back green space holds a nice hot tub that is also entirely private. We had a wonderful local chef from "Melons Catering" do a family dinner for us that was spectacular. She was able to cook in the well-appointed kitchen, and we were able to enjoy a gourmet meal together without leaving home. We have traveled extensively, but this stay allowed us to see a wonderful side of our little town.

Great location, great house
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.
