Downtown Coeur d’Alene Retreat Near Lake & Parks!

Reviews

• Clean, convenient, well-kept

  5/5

  I stayed with a co-working in this home near downtown Couer D'Alene. It was exactly as advertised in a really quiet neighborhood near a college. Plenty of towels, clean sheets, and a comfortable living room. We were only there to sleep so we didn't use much in the kitchen except to microwave some leftovers.

• Well maintained in a perfect location

  5/5

  The house is very well maintained, very clean, and plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 kids. The wood floor is old and creaky but not a big deal. The thermostat was set to 67 so it was a little chilly but we don't like it too warm anyway. Just something to keep in mind when visiting in the winter, make sure you have adequate clothes. The beds were comfortable, the TV had all the streaming channels, everything in the kitchen worked. The location was amazing, being less than a mile from downtown. There was not enough toilet paper for our stay so the property host sent over a Walmart delivery with a few items we requested. It was a comfortable stay!

• Perfect for families: charming neighborhood with 3 fantastic parks in easy walking distance!

  5/5

  Our visit to Coeur d'Alene was one of the most ideal family vacations we could ever imagine. We loved every moment of it and can't wait to go back!

  The house was perfect for us. There are two bedrooms in the front of the house (both with queen-size mattresses) and one bedroom on the opposite side of the house, facing the backyard (this one has two twin mattresses). The house looked just like the pictures. Cute decor, spacious yard for the kids to play, and comfortable living room to recharge after a day of exploring.

  The neighborhood is gorgeous. The streets are filled with beautiful, craftsman style homes. We loved walking downtown every day and stopping at the excellent parks along the way. The local food was delicious too. Crafted and Tito's are two of our favorite restaurants and they were both very accommodating for severe food allergies. Everything about our stay felt picturesque, to say the least - not to mention the gorgeous, crystal-clear lake just minutes from our front door. We highly recommend staying at this true retreat!

  Lastly, we want to say a BIG thank you to Virginia, our Evolve Guest Support, too! She was consistently easy to contact and very responsive. Thank you for helping to make our stay so refreshing!

• Stay Had Some Issues

  3/5

  The check-in process, location and communication with property manager was seamless and easy. However, we experienced some bugs that were located around the house (centipedes), the AC wasn't dropping below mid 70's (it was very hot outside during our stay) and there was a huge hornet's nest about the entryway what resulted in a sting, luckily it was not our infant.

  I reported all things to the property manager and she was very responsive and professional and let me know that after I reported all of these things, after our stay, she sent AC folks to the house, and insect exterminators to take care of the nest and centipedes. So we very much appreciated that.

  However, I did ask if there was a form of discount or coverage for a night of our stay due to these inconveniences and the owners of the property were contacted but we never heard back to them. I don't like to give bad reviews, but I think in this circumstance, it would've been appropriate to have some sort of monetary discount.
