Our little lake cottage has been extended over time to over 1,700sqft. The large outdoor deck overlooks the lake and Tubbs Hill; it includes a hot tub, dining table and barbecue.

Video walkthrough can be found on Facebook at Cottageonlakeshore. We recommend viewing the walkthrough as our quirky old lake Cottage has a very practical but unusual layout. Particularly note the entrance and low overhead for the small 3rd bedroom (two twins), also note there is no bathroom on the 2nd floor.
To relax after a long day in the outdoors we also provide a full entertainment system with LCD TV, sound system (yes, you can plugin your own device!), unlimited streaming movies/TV via our provided Netflix subscription, AppleTV, and a DVD player. Note only basic cable is provided.
The Cottage is set up well for families, with lots of open play space. Board games and books have been provided for all ages, beach toys and beach towels. We also have gates and a pack n' play available.
*Please also note the 3rd bedroom is a small finished attic room, on very hot days it has a hard time maintaining its cool and can require additional fans which we provide. Also, there is no built-in clothing storage.
Located on the quiet side of downtown it is a short walk to the downtown center of Coeur d'Alene. Just off Sherman Avenue you will find coffee shops, restaurants, wine tasting, shopping, live music and a vibrant art scene. As you walk past the downtown core, you’ll find the City Park; Public Beach (with stationed life-guards); the popular Fort Sherman Playground; and boat, jet ski, kayak & canoe rentals. Lake cruises, seaplane tours and para-sailing are also popular summer activities for hire.
The Coeur d’Alene area is home to several golf courses, ski resorts, water parks and the popular Silverwood theme park. Golf courses include The Coeur d'Alene Resort, Circling Raven, The Highlands, Avondale and many more. There are also many well maintained extensive bike trails including, The Centennial Trail, The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes and The Hiawatha trail.

We loved the location of the property and were able to walk to most activities. We had the opportunity to enjoy many of Lake Coeur d’Alene’s well known adventures and hope to return.
Our stay at the lakeside cottage was very enjoyable. The location was great and the accommodations perfect for our family. The cottage is very comfortable and homey.
This property was very clean and comfortable. The location is absolutely stunning. Communication with the host was excellent. We would highly recommend!
The location was exceptional and such a spectacular view of Lake Coeur d’Alene. The hot tub was awesome after a long day of a bike ride or a hike. Beds were very comfortable towels and linens were very nice. The amenities were all correctly detailed and we really enjoyed the property would stay there again.
This is a top notch location! Close to water, great walking, perfect location to trail head, and magnificent restaurants. House is quaint, clean, homey and comfortable. Thanks, we will return.
We came to CDA for my brother’s wedding. This cottage was a perfect location for us, as our kids are very young so being close to hiking and the beach made our visit to the area so much easier. My girls, ages 5 and 4, loved the tiny room that was just the right size for them. It’s a prime location and it had everything we needed.
Perfect location in a lovely neighborhood! House is so comfortable and the window views are even better than in pictures. :) Communication with the host was excellent and so accommodating!
This was a very relaxing, enjoyable getaway! This little cottage was perfect for us, great view of Lake Coeur d'Alene on a quiet, safe street and area. Jihan and Like were so helpful and prompt in getting back to our texts or phone calls! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your lovely little cottage!
We absolutely loved this property and will try to book again in the future if we have another opportunity. We were in Coeur d'Alene for a wedding and the host even had a steamer available. The bride and her mom (me) were very grateful for that! We loved the view and sat each morning with coffee overlooking the lake.
We loved our stay here. The cottage is very well-appointed and true to the listing. It was very comfortable and the loft rooms were fun. Plus the location is fantastic - the stunning 2-mile loop trail around Tubbs Hill is steps away, the neighborhood is beautiful, the lake is just across the street, and downtown is an easy walk. Hot tub on the deck was also a treat. Can’t be beat! I hope to return.
Perfect location! Steps away from the beach and Tubbs Hill and a quick walk to downtown restaurants and shops. The girls loved the access to the lake and the freedom to walk around in this quiet & safe neighborhood, the dog loved the little coves to splash around in the water and taking naps on the warm rocks and the wife and I loved the calm, simple life of the area and watching the moon move across the lake at night from the patio. Would highly recommend!

Six Sisters Reunion
The property and location was great. It was a little bit difficult for 4 sisters to stay upstairs with no bathroom.
We did Tubbs Hill and the beach. We all had a very good time, enjoyed the hot tub and never once turned om the television. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cottage.
Lakeshore Cottage was the perfect location for our stay in Coeur d'Alene.
Just steps from the Tubbs Hill trail head and Sanders Beach, the cottage was clean, well-stocked, comfortable and charming.
We loved the lake views, the hot tub, and the neighborhood filled with gorgeous homes. There were many restaurants and shops just an easy 15 minute walk away.
Communication with the owner was fabulous. Her description of the property is accurate.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Just one issue was I always felt we were being watched. Cameras on the outside of the house, real-estate office and mothers house all facing property. Other than that I recommend this property for family.
Our first visit to CDA was amazing! The house was lovely and well stalked. Owner was responsive. Favorite thing was to hike over Tubbs to The Bakery downtown, then walk back through the beautiful neighborhoods to hit the hot tub! 90 min Lake cruise was relaxing. CDA is perfect for a Girl's Trip. Upstairs occupants over 60+ might be challenged due to low ceilings and staircase.
Loved location. Patio. So busy did not spend time in house but to sleep .
Property was great. Busy area. Great place for people watching, getting out to tubbs hill and water. Walks etc. easy and short distance from town. Quiet neighborhood at night. I was to old rom limb up and down stairs for a smaller bed so ended up in King with bathroom. My grown children and their spouses slept upstairs. Got a little warm for them. So busy never used hot tub or cooked a meal in the house. Had a great time on patio under the trees.lovely town.
The house and location were perfect. The house was very nicely stocked.
It would have been nice to have sponges for washing pans. The corkscrew was broken.
We had a lot trouble watching tv. The host was very responsive and tried to help, but we ended up having to use my log in. This procedure should be simplified with very clear step by step instructions.
Overall, we loved our stay and would be rest this house again.
Idyllic location and amazing home! This place had everything you could want for a family. It was comfortable and conveniently located right downtown. We are originally from the area and loved being able to walk right downtown from the house. Loved it and would recommend it to everyone and anyone traveling to Couer D Alene
