About this property
Beautiful Lakefront Retreat in Carlin Bay
Escape to a private lakefront retreat in Carlin Bay. This vacation home occupies the top two levels of our three-level residence, while your hosts live in a separate lower-level apartment with its own entrance, ensuring your privacy. We’re retired, respectful of your space, and available if you need assistance or local recommendations. Set on a small point with southern exposure, the home offers sweeping views of Lake Coeur d’Alene from nearly every room and sunshine throughout the day. Relax on the dock, enjoy the water, and take advantage of the complimentary lake toys. The home comfortably accommodates up to six guests and features central air conditioning. The spacious primary suite includes a king bed, and two additional upstairs bedrooms each offer new queen beds. The country kitchen opens to a large deck, perfect for lakeside breakfasts and sunset evenings with a glass of local wine awaiting your arrival. In the front yard, unwind beneath the pines, read in the shade, or nap in the hammock. The home sits on a hillside with a maintained trail, footpath, and stairs leading to the waterfront. Please review the photos to understand the walk to the beach. The natural shoreline features striking basalt rock formations and a deck extending to the pier dock, complete with ample seating, shade, and water amenities, including an Aqua Lily Pad, two stand-up paddleboards, and two kayaks. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with spices, pantry essentials such as olive oil, sugar, salt, and flour, plus paper products. Because of our rural location, we recommend purchasing groceries before arrival. We also provide doTERRA hair and body products and use eco-friendly cleaning products throughout the home. Ideal for a family getaway or two to three couples seeking a relaxing lakeside escape, this property offers comfort, privacy, and exceptional lakefront living. Please read our owner story and note that, as we live on the property, we may occasionally visit the private/shared dock to cool off on especially hot summer days. Highlights: ● Lakefront home with panoramic views of Lake Coeur d’Alene ● Private/shared beach and floating dock ● Aqua Lily Pad, 2 SUPs, and 2 kayaks included ● Expansive deck, BBQ, and hammock ● Central air conditioning ● Rails to Trails, Silverwood, and Coeur d’Alene attractions ● All fees included—no hidden charges
