Your Happy Place on the Water

Welcome to The River House, a bright and breezy waterfront retreat tucked along a peaceful cove on the Spokane River, just minutes from downtown Coeur d’Alene.

Step inside to warm, inviting interiors and panoramic windows framing beautiful views of the sparkling water. The open-concept living area is perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure, with comfortable seating, a stone-accented fireplace, and direct access to the expansive deck stretching toward the shoreline.

With two full kitchens, the home offers added convenience for your stay.

Waterfront Living:

Wake up to golden sunlight reflecting across the water, then enjoy your morning coffee on the deck before heading down to the private dock.

Spend the day swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. As evening arrives, gather around the fire pit, watch boats glide along the river, and take in beautiful sunsets over the surrounding mountains.

Whether you spend your days on the water or exploring downtown Coeur d’Alene, coming home to The River House is part of the experience.
