About this property

Idaho Lake Retreat - Home on Lake Coeur d' Alene!

Welcome to our little slice of heaven on Lake Coeur d' Alene! Our home is almost 2400 square feet with 3 bedrooms and a bunkroom for the kids.

It is fully stocked for a great family getaway with the lake and beach right across the street!

○Weber 3 burner Genesis grill on the main deck along with plenty of outside seating.

○Each bathroom has fluffy towels (plenty of extras if needed) small soap/shampoo to get started (guests should bring more), hand soap and toilet paper (one extra roll per bathroom is provided).

○The upper linen closet has beach towels for use by guests.

○Yellow towels embroidered (clean your paws) to wipe your dogs feet before heading into the house.

Other things to note

○No keys to return with the electronic Schlage lock.

○A cleaning fee of $225 will be assessed for each stay.

○A government issued ID is required for all rentals.

Some caveats:
○There is really no yard to speak of. No grass etc. so kids have no place to play at the house. Harrison has a nice park right in the center of town with kids toys.

○We are located on the open lake so it is possible the beach will have logs and other debris on it or nearby. We do our best to keep it clear, but cannot guarantee it will be free of logs.

○We do not have a dock, but the town of Harrison has a nice marina with space for your boat.

○Even though we are in town, it is way out in the countryside on the lake, so expect there will be some bugs in the house. Ladybugs especially seem to get in.

○As dog owners ourselves, we welcome canine guests with responsible owners to our vacation home. However due to the additional cleaning time required after a canine guest, we have added a charge of $50 per dog.

We would respectfully ask that owners clear any mess left by their pet. Guests must sign and return the pet policy form.

Amazing home and amazing hosts
We had a Thanksgiving meal in this home. The whole house was extremely well equipped, clean, and beautiful. It has an amazing view of the lake. The hosts are the best I have ever dealt with. Easy to communicate with, helpful with all needs, and even helped us find the right way out of there in the storm that was brewing! Will rent this house again! Thank you for everything!

More than met our expectations
The house was perfect for us. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything we needed for family meals, including appliances, spices, and cookware. The house was fresh, clean, and had all the comfortable homey touches. Balconies look to the lake and bike path. Communication with Mike was excellent before, during, and after our stay. Would absolutely recommend!

Parking is “tight”- we had two vehicles. We all had bikes and it is a fairly rough gravel road. Lots of room, 3 full bathrooms! Lovely balcony overlooking the Lake. We would stay here again.

Family get together
Great home for a family get together. Lots of room. Lots of games to keep younger kids occupied. Host was great, made sure several times that we didn’t need anything. Kitchen had everything that you could possibly need. This is a fully loaded kitchen. A little walk to the town and marina. Beach area for kids to swim. Beautiful lake view from the house and deck. Definitely will be coming back.

The greatest view from most rooms in the home.
We loved our stay at this house. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with every plate, pan and utensil you could use, and there were many places to gather. The best thing about this home is in my title -- the view was wonderful. We were there to bike the rail trail which is very close to this home. Perfect location. The add bonus was the ice cream shop just down the road. This place was very clean and the owners made sure there was nothing we needed. Good communication.

Family Lake Getaway
Our family get-together in Harrison, Idaho was a great time for the entire family. The house was well maintained and had excellent views of the lake from two different decks. It was very close to the downtown area, which was also very tourist friendly, and the owner Michael was very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone...

Great place and location!
Our group (extended family... siblings and cousins...) gather once a year at a rental like this and have for years. This place was well equipped and the owner was great at communication. Again, we have stayed at several rentals like this and often the pots, pans, towels, etc are cheap and/or hard to use. This place even had a small food processor and actual large pots! The pans were great quality and there were plenty of plates and cups and silverware, etc. It has plenty of table space both inside and out for folks to gather, and plenty of blankets and pillows, a Keurig, coffee pots, large fridge with plenty of ice, etc. They even had towels for the dog, and while I have seen complaints in these reviews about lack of yard, my cousin took their dog for a walk each day on the bike trail and he (the dog) had a great time! Harrison is a great little town--fun restaurants and ice cream and a little beach--it's a great summer getaway. Our only suggestion is a sign for the house's beach area just so guests can be sure of which spot is theirs since it is not totally obvious. We only used that area once--the bike path and the road takes you right to the town beach and the kids loved that. The view is amazing--we lived out on the deck and visited with each other to that great view! And the bunk room downstairs is terrific--the kids loved the games, etc. Thanks so much for sharing your home! We would definitely rent from here again!

A little piece of heaven
What a wonderful vacation house! The house is located on the bike path and lakeshore. Such beautiful surroundings. Great biking and bird watching. Short walk into town for lunches after rides. The owners have set the house up very thoughtfully. They have included everything that we could have thought of to make our stay fun and relaxing. I have never stayed in a better stocked kitchen in a vacation rental. Appliances were new and spotlessly clean (as was the rest of the house). Lots of good quality pots, pans, utensils, and small appliances (two kinds of coffee makers!). There was a kitchen dining area and another dining room. The living room was large and comfortable. There were six adults in our group, and there was plenty of room, with three nice bedrooms and baths. The beds were very comfortable with lovely bedding. Lots of fluffy towels in the baths. There was a bunk room on the basement floor, which was set up perfectly for kids (though we didn't have any). Three TVs - one in the living room, one in the master bedroom, and one in the basement kids hang-out. Full laundry. There was a wonderful deck outside the living-dining room with a lovely Weber grill. We used this every evening and ate outdoors, overlooking the lake. Days were hot, but nights were cool. Evenings were perfect. Lots of bird watching, so be sure to bring binoculars and a bird ID book. They had a game table with shelves full of board and card games. The table converted to a bumper pool table. The bike trail takes you through amazingly beautiful countryside. (And did I say it is flat as a pancake for miles?). We saw three moose and a flock of soaring pelicans, amongst other critters. The house is perched right above the lake. You can rent boats in Harrison, a short walk away. Mike is an appropriately attentive host, as well. I appreciated his helpfulness and found that he was available by texting at all times for questions. We had such a good time there and wish that we could have stayed longer. We're already planning our next visit.

Best Vrbo ever!
It’s was truly an amazing experience. They had everything we could possibly have needed and then some! Very clean and so organized. We had 4 adults, 2 children, one under a year and 2 dogs. Everyone had a place to gather and to have private time if they wanted. The master is a suite with a beautiful salon, coffee bar area. All the comforts of home and then some! 3 beautiful decks with lake views and my husband loved the barbecue! Just steps away from the Coeur d’Alene bike trail and just a hop to the public beach and marina! We will be back for sure😍

Lakefront Oasis
My family and I rented here for the Christmas / New Years holiday week and this was by far the best VRBO we have ever rented. The host / property owner Michael was an excellent communicator and so easy to deal with. We needed to add an extra day due to weather concerns and travel conditions and he was very responsive. He made sure once we checked in we had everything we needed for the week which was great hospitality to say the least. The property was well stocked with everything we needed which made my wife super happy, the views were spectacular and the area was really quiet. We for sure got enough R&R and would definitely rent this location again…we are hoping this summer actually. If you want a great location / great house / great host this is your place, I highly recommend it. Thank you so much for the use of the house and being so fantastic during our stay.

Great for Family Reunion
The property was comfortable and had a good view of the lake. The kitchen was better equipped than my own in terms of utensils, and pots & pans. The wifi and internet access was very good. Our family is small, and the 4 bedrooms and three baths was just right for our reunion. The common area was big and comfortable. The eight of us were able to gather and talk in comfort. Also appreciated the "welcome basket" of soft drinks and snacks. If you want to use the water the best bet is to go to the Harrison public docks and beach. The cabin has no beach front of its own. We didn't find the beach described in the ad. I'm sure it's there, we just got confused with the "private" signs on some of the trails and gave up. I highly recommend this home if you want to visit the lake with convenience and comfort.

Perfect Lake House
We stayed at this home for five nights and found it to be the perfect Lake House for a family vacation. There is a well equipped kids room downstairs and comfortable more adult quarters on the top floor. This home literally came with EVERYTHING you could need. The local beach is a short pleasant walk away. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. 5/5 would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Baum

Host profile image
We live in Olympia, Washington and have 3 kids. 2 are grown, one is married (with our 3 grandkids!) and our son is a Junior at Washington State University.

Why they chose this property

Mike grew up in the Coeur d' Alene area and wants to return there someday. We have been saving up to buy a home on Lake Coeur d' Alene for many years and now that dream has become reality! Our home is a great place to unwind and relax. We have outfitted the house as we would our primary home so it is filled with everything needed to have a great time!

What makes this property unique

The multiple decks and view of the lake, the great neighbors and of course the beach made this home the perfect choice for us.
