Rockford Bay Retreat: Your Private Waterfront Resort

Step inside and be welcomed by the stunning 180-degree panoramic views of Lake Coeur d' Alene, providing you with the best possible lake experience. Our spacious bedrooms offer premium bedding for a good night's rest, and the state-of-the-art A/V equipment will take your experience to the next level.

With 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 full baths, this lake house comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests, making it the perfect choice for families, couples, or groups of friends. You'll love spending lazy afternoons lounging on the deck, soaking up the sun and taking in the breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Start your mornings with our coffee/tea bar, where you can prepare yourself a cup of joe or tea while listening to the sounds of the lake. Spend your afternoons wading in the water, lounging on the dock, or shading in the gazebo, then enjoy your evenings grilling your favorite meats on our BBQ or Smoker. The open floor plan and fully equipped kitchen makes whipping up delicious meals with your group a breeze, and our high-fidelity audio system and Smart HDTVs provide endless entertainment options.


Inside, the home is beautifully appointed with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. With plenty of space to stretch out, you can cozy up next to the rock fireplace and enjoy the warmth from the heat circulation fan, which provides an efficient heating boost to the entire living room area. In addition to free high speed WiFi and Smart HDTVs with access to Apple, Fubo, and Netflix, the home also provides games for entertainment, ensuring that you'll never be bored no matter what the weather is like outside. So whether you're looking to relax and catch up on your favorite shows or engage in some friendly competition with your group, Rockford Bay Retreat has something for everyone. The kitchen is stocked with everything a master chef would need, from coffee makers to wine openers, blender or rice cooker - we have it all. The granite countertops and stainless steel appliances provide a luxurious feel throughout the kitchen area. The open floor plan and kitchen make cooking fun with your group, and spices are available to spruce up your favorite dishes. Enjoy your meals inside at the breakfast bar or table, and find plenty of seating on the top deck with stunning lake views.

But the real highlight of this lake house is its location. Situated just steps from the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, you'll have easy access to all the water-based activities you love, from swimming and boating to fishing and kayaking. And with plenty of hiking and biking trails nearby, as well as world-class golf courses, shopping, and dining, there's something for everyone in Coeur d'Alene.

Located in a gated community, Rockford Bay Retreat is a custom-built lake home nestled high upon the mountain, providing guests with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. For those with boats, the location is particularly convenient, as there is a gas station just a few minutes away in Rockford Bay, making it easy to refuel. Additionally, the home is conveniently located only 25 minutes away from downtown Coeur d’Alene, a beautiful city known for its lakeside beauty, quaint shops, and restaurants. The home is also just 50 minutes from Silverwood Theme Park, and 60 minutes from Silver Mountain Ski Resort, an excellent winter destination for skiing and snowboarding. For those interested in gambling and entertainment, the Coeur d’Alene Casino is also only a 25-minute drive away. Don't forget to enjoy lunch or dinner at Shooter's in the Black Rock Marina, just a 10 minute car or boat ride from the house.




Docking privileges are one of the highlights of Rockford Bay Retreat! Our lakefront property offers a spacious dock with slip, Seadoo parking, grass landing, and gazebo, making it the perfect spot for boating enthusiasts. You can easily dock your boat and enjoy all that Lake Coeur d' Alene has to offer. We also provide you with four kayaks, four to six tubes, and a paddleboard to explore the crystal-clear waters of the lake.

We had an extended family and friends stay over the Christmas and New Year holidays at this property. This was a perfect location, with several gathering areas, generous bedrooms to accommodate a variety of guests. The main floor, with a professional scale kitchen, large dining and living area provided more than adequate room for all of our guests. The large decks on two levels provided an opportunity to get outside and take in the beauty of lake Coeur d’Alene, each morning revealed a new dide of the lakes personality. We will use this venue again.

Rockford Bay Retreat truly deserves its 5-star rating. I brought my entire family for a week-long stay at the stunning Lake Coeur d'Alene to celebrate my 75th birthday and 53rd anniversary. The property is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything needed for a perfect vacation. A huge thank you to Nicole for making our stay exceptional. 5 STARS!

This property is as advertised, a beautiful home on a breathtaking lake. Outside of purchasing our groceries, everything we needed was provided. If you love sunrises or sunsets, this is your place. Communication with the property manager was great leading up to the rental and while staying on the property.

Great property right on the lake. Has a dock and lawn area right by the water to spend your day relaxing. With a large kitchen, expansive deck and within range for grocery delivery, meals were a breeze. Highly recommend!

The house was perfect in every way. It was clean, comfortable, extremely spacious, and everything worked the way it should. The dock had quality equipment to safely park our boat and jetskis for the duration of the trip. Definitely 5 stars!

We came for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday with extended family. House was very clean and well maintained. The house is right on the lake. There are quite a few stairs to travel up and down to dock, but the dock and gazebo on lake are stocked with paddle boards and Kayaks. We had a great weekend and would recommend this property!

Extremely nice, secluded, modern, clean and well placed. Our family was fortunate to enjoy this spacious home along with the evening shaded gazebo and dock. The large decks on two floors also gave us a great place to take in the beautiful views while sipping our morning coffee and evening cocktails. The location is excellent at its a minutes boat ride from Shooters Bar & Grill while also being in the middle of the lake, away from the congestion and other boat traffic. We will be back next year!

My family of 8 had a fantastic time and we are definitely planning another weeks+ vacation there again!! Rockford Bay Retreat definitely earns a 5+ Star rating! Communication with the owners was great and informative and the whole process of checking in went perfectly. The house was very clean, with all appliances working. The lake is beautiful and the dock was great as well. We brought our 23' Wake/Surf boat with us and had a fantastic time. There were very few boats in the lake in front of us, so never choppy or busy. 15 minutes max to Harrison and it only took 22 minutes to get to downtown Coeur d'Alene by boat. The dock and gazebo are both clean and very nice. We spent a LOT of time in this area over the week. We also enjoyed using the fire pit! 2 things to note - 1) Idaho requires an Invasive Species sticker on your boat. The sheriff's patrols don't sell them, we got ours at the Parks Dept. in CdA. 2) VERY difficult to turn our trailer around once I got to the house after dropping the boat. I had to back the trailer to an earlier intersection (about 1/4 mile), turn it around, then back it to the house. There are limited spaces before you get to the house, so you may get lucky. My trailer is somewhat long since the boat is 23'. Definitely not a big deal once I figured it out :) Thank you again Rockford Bay!! Best, Finch/Molander/Wiard Family
