A short 7-minute drive will take you to our neighborhood famous Wolf Lodge Steak House, one of the most renowned restaurants in Idaho!
This is a nice place to explore outside and have some peace and quiet. The owners have really taken the time to explain and label where everything is. This is one of the best outfitted Vrbo kitchens I have seen.
This property is amazing! The home is set in the middle of a beautiful forest. The view from the living room is magical. We never had to turn on the TV during our whole stay.
The place has several fun spaces to try out. We loved the greenhouse and the hot tub. Our stay was perfect even though it did rain every day. We spent time with family and 2 dogs and had a blast. We visited all the nature hike trails and were impressed with how well maintained they are.
The host was very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed.
If you are looking for a peaceful mountain getaway, this is it!
Our daughter got married at The Willows at Rider Ranch. The wedding party stayed at this home. It was perfect! Highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay over July 4. We took our hound and spent day trips getting to know the Coeur d'Alene area. We tried out the local hikes right off the house! The views are spectacular and the house was so comfortable- best vacation!
Owner’s Response: “Christine, thank you so much for being our guest this 4th of July. We appreciate your kind words! First, it means a lot to us that you had a wonderful experience at our nature retreat; and second that you shared your experience online. We hope to see you again at Mountain Light Retreat.”
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful 40-Acre Nature Retreat. The view is gorgeous. Unfortunately it is already booked for the timeframe we could come next year.
