Where Lake Days Meet Hot Tub Nights

Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom cottage in Coeur d’Alene’s beloved Fort Grounds neighborhood, conveniently located near North Idaho College and just minutes from the lake and downtown. Sleeping up to 6 guests, this inviting home blends vintage character with comfortable spaces and an unbeatable location.

Start your morning with a stroll or bike ride to the beach, spend the afternoon exploring downtown shops and restaurants, then return home to relax in the private hot tub beneath the stars. The backyard waterfall adds a peaceful touch, creating a relaxing atmosphere after a day of North Idaho adventures.

Whether you're planning summer lake days, colorful fall hikes, snowy winter escapes, or springtime outdoor adventures, this cottage makes it easy to experience the best of Coeur d’Alene year-round.

A Perfect Coeur d’Alene Location:

One of the best features of this home is its walkable location. You're steps from North Idaho College, about a 5-minute walk to the beach, and approximately a 10-minute walk to downtown Coeur d’Alene.

Downtown offers an active atmosphere filled with local restaurants, shops, breweries, entertainment, and access to the beautiful Coeur d’Alene waterfront. When you're ready to explore farther, you'll find hiking and mountain biking trails, golf courses, parks, and family attractions within easy reach.

Enjoy Coeur d’Alene Lake:

Coeur d’Alene Lake stretches 26 miles long with 135 miles of shoreline and offers plenty of room for recreational boating. Known as the “Playground of the Pacific Northwest,” the lake is perfect for boating, water skiing, tubing, fishing, sightseeing, and enjoying spectacular sunsets surrounded by mountain scenery.
