All about Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Coeur d'Alene is located on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, a large mountain lake spanning approximately 50 square miles. The town was originally established during the timber boom times of the early 1900s. Shortly thereafter, much of the area to the East of town was bustling with miners pulling large amounts of silver and zinc out of what is now known as the silver valley. Much has changed in the past few decades. After a recession following a reduction in timber harvest and the closure of mines, a resurgence came to Coeur d'Alene led mainly by the allure of outdoor enthusiasts. Tourism is a fairly recent boom, but for good reason. There are few places in the Rockies that offer the perfect balance of water and mountain sports along with a wide array of fine accommodations, dining, arts, festivals and events. The Coeur d'Alene area has become one of the most sought after tourist and retirement destinations of the West. There are millions of acres of national forests, serene lakes, rivers and trail systems where you will find solitude year-round. Our vacation rental is located perfectly nested between the Coeur d'Alene national forest and the city center. We are located just 10 minutes from Wolf Lodge bay of Lake Coeur d'Alene a small, quiet bay with a public boat launch ideal for kayaking, wildlife viewing and fishing.

We are surrounded by national forest, rivers, lakes and miles of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. We are privileged to live in such an incredible place.
