Our family of 9 had a very comfortable stay here :) The only issue we had was not getting our check-in/out instructions in time. Luckily the host was responsive and corrected the issue.
We had a wonderful time. The house was cooled during these 90 degree days. Stairs from parking and dock/lake would be hard for some, but we managed. Deck was wonderful⊠views terrific! Only complaint was a fishy smell in fridge and freezer that kinda permeated food. Water pressure was low, but owners rushed to change fliers when we contacted them.
We had our family of four (2 teenage daughters), and the space was perfect for us. We loved the location on the lake. We loved sitting on the deck and playing games and reading books on the dock. We were able to rent a pontoon and have it delivered right to the dock.
We didn't eat much, but the kitchen seemed well-supplied.
Great Property! Great Lake views. Lots of indoor/outdoor living space. Plenty of room for 8 people. House was SPOTLESS when we checked in. Owners frequently checked in with us to make sure our needs were being met. Plenty of space to dock our 22 ft tri toon. Donât hesitate to book if looking for Lakeside getaway.
Our family of four had a great week at this lovely lake cabin. The private dock was great, and we spent a lot of time paddle boarding and swimming on the lake. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. My kids really enjoyed the DVD collection. We would definitely go back!
We had a great time, and loved the view. Older home, and odd layout (no bathroom upstairs), but plenty sufficient. Host/owner was great ⊠very responsive. Upstairs beds were a little old/crickedy, but again, plenty sufficient.
So many memories were made. Situated in a calm alcove of Lake Coeur dâAlene, this is a beautiful, well-appointed, vacation home. We made countless memories and enjoyed sunsets from the deck each night. We brought quite a bit of luggage and the stairs, while daunting at first sight, were easy to navigate. So thankful we found this home and hope to return again in the future.
This was a very nice house, quite clean and overlooking the lake. It has a nice front porch to hang out on and good light in the main living room.
Make sure that you are up to climbing the front steps before renting this house -- it has 65 steps from the street to the front door! Also, only one bedroom is on that main floor. The other bedrooms are another flight up the stairs.
The house is situated in a beautiful location. However, the cleanliness of the house left much to be desired (we shouldnât have to clean the grill upon arrival). Also, the house is literally falling apart in some places (drawers donât open, mirrors falling off the wall). The stairs need several coats of paint.
In spite of these shortcomings, we enjoyed our stay and the owner was very attentive. If the house had a makeover, it would be a really great property.
The view was super from the house and the dock was a perfect swimming spot. The house is located on a fantastic bay where the wind is blocked so it is very peaceful. Throughout the day there was always sunny spots and shady spots on the deck and dock which we really appreciated so that you could situate for what you wanted. Our teens liked going into town and the drive was only 25 minutes to downtown CDA which was a big plus - perfect balance between being at a peaceful lake spot but close enough to downtown. It was easy getting a boat delivered to the dock. Paddleboating was fun and easy in the bay. The house is nice for the price point and had everything that we wanted. The cleaning crew did only an ok job. We got used to the stairs and that is the tradeoff to get the view and less bugs a bit up off the water. We would rent this house again.
Great place to stay on CdA lake!! Stayed here with a small group of friends with young kids. The location was ideal as we spent all of our time down at the water. Property owners were very responsive, when there was confusion over checkout time, they quickly responded and allowed for a later check out time. This was the only discrepancy we had as the checkout time was listed at 11 on our rental information but was actually 10, but this issue was resolved promptly. The cabin and amenities were what you would expect for a slightly dated lake place. The fire pit did not work and we did run out of toilet paper the last day, but both issues were communicated to the owner and they offered to reimburse any personal costs for TP. Before booking, know that there are a lot of stairs from the parking spot/lake to the cabin, as this would limit accessibility for anyone with knee or hip problems. The bay itself was private, quiet and ideal for swimming and water sports. The dock is in good condition and the water is clear with a nice sandy beach walk-in, as you get deeper the bottom gets a little rocky. We really enjoyed our stay, the lakefront location is ideal, there is an amazing view of the lake from the deck, cabin was cozy. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Owners were responsive and pleasant.
This home was very nice and well cleaned when we arrived. Check in was simple and communication with the owner both prior to and during our stay was excellent. There were a couple of kithchen stock items out that the owner offered to remedy immediately. The views in the evening are amazing from the deck. There are many stairs as others have mentioned but it was only really noticeable unpacking and packing for us. We had a great time here. The bay is quiet with regards to boat traffic. We did not take advantage but the home is very close via boat to the Coeur dâAlene Marina if you wanted to zip over for lunch or a walk downtown.
One thing to note (and something not in the control of the property owners) was that there was a great deal of lake weeds/grass in the water around the bay in which this house sits. There was enough that my kids did not want to swim off the dock. We have an inboard, V-drive boat and every time we left the bay I had to dive under the boat and remove weeds tangled in the prop and shaft (it causes a noticeable vibration underway if not removed). However, there were several other boats that came and went from neighboring houses that didnât seem to have the same issue so maybe chalk this up to my ignorance on how to deal with it? Not sure if this is seasonal and we just hit high time? This didnât affect our enjoyment but was an interesting start to each day when we headed out onto the lake. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful week here.
The property was just as described. We had a wonderful time with 2 families (4 adults and 3 children (4-10 years old). Yes, there are a lot of stairs to get to the house, but that was expected and clear in the pictures. The hosts were attentive and offered help when needed.
We have always loved the Lake Coeur d'Alene area and wanted to have a piece of it for years to come. Summer nights spent on the lake are unbeatable and this home allows us to share those moments with our family, friends and our guests. We encourage feedback from all of our guests as we are always looking for ways to enhance the property and the vacation experience.
We purchased this property because we absolutely love the Pacific Northwest and specifically Lake Coeur d'Alene. Neachen Bay is a beautiful, quiet cove that is close to downtown and all of the amenities that Coeur d'Alene has to offer.
The house sits up on the hill which creates privacy along with spectacular views. The private, sandy beach and the dock are great benefits to this home.
