Family getaway

We stayed at this beautiful home for a week with my wife’s siblings, their spouses and parents. We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere on the Spokane River. Fishing from the dock was a big hit with this group, and plenty of small mouth bass were caught turning the week. There are a ton of activities set up by the host for families to enjoy, our group enjoyed the slower pace and beautiful setting as a base to explore Coeur D’Alene. Beds were comfortable, brand new linens and towels, kitchen well equipped. Biggest enjoyment for my wife and her sister was harvesting the fresh eggs from the chicken coop everyday. What a hoot. Host was gracious to bring in a new BBQ and smoker the second day after we discovered a problem with the existing BBQ. What great service! We made good use of both. Highly recommended.

Great spot for a family gathering

There were 13 in our party -- ranging 9 to 80. There was plenty to do for all of us. We rented a boat from the host (David) and spent a great deal of time on it, but we also made use of all the other amenities/activities/games. Never bored and plenty of space for us to get a little quiet time away from the group when needed.

All around perfection!!!

This vacation home is an oasis! The lakefront is breathtaking but then add the trampoline, playground, volleyball, disc golf etc. you never want to leave. David has thought of everything, bikes, soda machine, ice-machine (which came in handy when filling the provided ice chest for the boat), all the streaming platforms for movies, the list goes on... there is even fresh chick and duck eggs on property!! David had impeccable communication with us from start to finish, he was at our beck and call. David even put our family in touch with Chef Erin, which Erin cooked three-four-course FROM SCRATCH meals for us during our stay!! The kitchen was fully stocked with paper towels, paper goods for eating outside, cleaning supplies etc. The beds were comfy with clean linens and plenty of fluffy bath towels. There are TWO washer and dryers, one set on each floor, which came in handy while traveling for a week with children. We will definitely be back!

Absolute Paradise

Our 2 families, with 5 kids total, had the most amazing week in David's home. He went above and beyond to make our stay fun, comfortable and relaxing. The kids were not bored for 1 minute the entire week which was priceless. The property is stunning and the location is perfect, just a short drive or boat ride from town. We've been to some beautiful places, but this one quickly moved to the top of our list. We can't wait to return!

Check all the Boxes

If you are looking for a home and location that will check all the boxes for a vacation look no further. We recently rented the property and had a wonderful family vacation at David’s riverfront home. From the time we inquired about the property until we checked out, David was a superb host. We can’t say enough about the awesome home and all of the high end amenities that will make your stay unforgettable. Likewise, the peaceful and park like setting offers an incredible view of the river as well as the opportunity to relax kayaking or canoeing. While staying here were able to disconnect from our daily lives and be in the moment with our family. We also didn’t feel the need to leave the property since there were so many activities to do there. If you are looking for a location that will check all the boxes for your next vacation look no further than this property.

Large, beautiful home PERFECT for families with kids!

We stayed for a week in August 2018 and had the times of our lives. We (mom/dad and our 3 kids ages 12, 10 and 8) stayed there with another family with three kids (ages 12, 9 and 6). We also brought our nanny to help out, so 11 total occupants. This home is absolutely a shangri-la for kids....SO much for them to do. If they weren't casting fishing poles of the dock, they were swimming and pushing each other in the river, playing on the trampoline, swinging on the swingset, playing pickleball on the regulation court, or rowing around in a canoe or on a paddleboard. If they needed a break from the sun, they played pool/foosball in the house or "pop a shot" in the garage. Each evening was a "smores" party after dinner in either the outdoor fireplace or firepit on the lawn. For the adults, it was equally terrific. The bedrooms and baths are plentiful and spacious, the beds all very comfortable and the air conditioning kept everything perfectly cool when we got a spell of 100 degree weather! The kitchen had every appliance and utensil you could ever need, and the outdoor grill got a lot of use from us. The large common kitchen table doubled for meals, and then card games in the evening. The commercial ice maker in the garage guaranteed we never had a warm drink. The home is only a 30 minute drive from the Spokane airport, and if you have friends at Gozzer Ranch or anywhere on the east side of the lake, it's a 10-15 minute boat ride. There is plenty of space to moor boats and jet skis. The owner met us when we arrived and gave us a run through on everything. Suffice it to stay this was one of the most memorable family vacations for us and our kids, and we would absolutely return next year! It was an OUTSTANDING experience. JJ, Los Angeles

Heaven on Spokane River - Peaceful and Exciting

We loved this place. The experience starts from the street. From the entrance, you cannot see the home. You drive down a winding road to a mansion next to the Spokane River. Once you enter you notice the mosaic tiles of a deer on the entry way. Then you notice the A-frame 30+ foot vaulted ceiling accompanied by a large fire place. You then see a large backyard lawn with a trampoline, kids house with a slide, canoe and kayaks, and a dock with a boat and 3 jet skis as requested on the Spokane River. The multi-level home has a huge kitchen with all the amenities, 2 convection oven which I enjoyed. The area is large enough to entertain the family and friends while I cooked. The high ceiling in every room give a very spacious and free feel. There are 5 large bedrooms, one on the 1st floor and 4 on the 2nd floor. The Master bedroom is huge. It is bigger than the first home I lived it. How time has changed The best part about the house my son loved was the fire pole from the 2nd floor to the kitchen. He loved being called for meals and coming down the pole right into the kitchen. My wife loved seeing our son come down, which reminded of her late father who was a fireman. For a large home, the water was hot throughout the house. Also the AC worked great. The temperature got up in the 90s, which was unusual for Post Falls, but did not know it while inside the house. Our family and friends really enjoyed going jet skiing. We also enjoyed taking the boat out towing the kids on a raft. Also enjoyed going to Cedars and docking it right at the restaurant. Got to try their cedar plank salmon. It was delicious. We also enjoyed taking the boat to the Couer D Arlene Resort for lunch and dinner. Did not worry about traffic or parking. Return sunset cruise was always beautiful. We also enjoyed the large fire place on the back side of the original fire place. The kids loved roasting S mores every night. There were plenty of chopped wood and skewers for the marshmallows. We had an issue with the TV and called the owner. They responded quickly and sent someone out to the house within 30 minutes. All transactions with the owner were very professional and timely. We loved our experience, we will be back next year.

serene and welcoming home on beautiful Lake Coeur D'Alene

We had a terrific stay at this property. Lovely home, giant kid-friendly yard and beautiful grounds. The house is big, lots of rooms for large groups (we had 5 children and 8 adults). It is a really comfortable space, the kitchen was great to cook in, the living room large and inviting. The back yard was entirely awesome for the kids: huge grassy area, trampoline, play set, volleyball, fire pits, beach area - it had it all. Dock easily accessible and big. The pickle ball court was really fun to play on. Bedrooms all large and really comfortable. What we noticed most was the lovely quiet at night. The Centennial Trail is minutes away and we spent ample time biking it. Town is a few minutes away via car, but we boated most of the time to the lake (about an easy 10 minute ride). The house was in spotless condition, very clean, and our host was totally available and easy to work with. We have stayed at lots of properties, and we would HIGHLY recommend this house for a lake vacation for a large group - it was simply stunning!

Fantastic property. Great attention to detail.

The owners provided every amenity one could think of. Although my previous stays were always on the main lake, we found the river to be much more accommodating for our water sports, yet the main lake and resort were just a short boat ride away. It was also fairly close to boat filling stations and a very short drive to town for shopping, groceries, etc. My family would definitely stay there again.
