About this property

Coeur d'Alene's Famous Lakeshore Cottage steps to Sander's Beach & Tubb's Hill!

  • The newly upgraded 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Lakeshore cottage is located in the prestigious area of Sanders Beach on Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Enjoy the new 10' X 36' front porch with a firepit, rocking chairs, a dining table and lake and Tubb's Hill views! Dine or just sit and relax by the fire with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. This darling home was originally built in 1915 and remodeled in 2025, adding a 3rd bedroom and a 2nd bath. It is comfortably furnished and offers all the comforts and amenities of home. Fast Wifi and a smart TV in every room, a coffee maker and a Keurig, tea pot and plenty of kitchen appliances and utensils for cooking. Central heat and air conditioning, washer dryer in the laundry room, a steam shower, a bathtub, a gas fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen with Thor range and dishwasher. The side patio includes a new BBQ and griddle!
    There are bicycles (2 electric) for the entire family and kayaks for 4 (2 person plus two single kayaks) in the garage available for your use!

    The cottage is within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, churches and art galleries in downtown Coeur d'Alene. Boat, jet ski and parasailing activities are available or walk/hike/picnic on Tubbs Hills which is located
    literally steps away from the cottage. Play a round of golf at the world class 'floating green' resort golf course which is located minutes away or go to the beach across the street and relax at the lake!

    We typically fill the summer bookings up by spring, so if you're ready to book an adorable home in the best location in Coeur d'Alene, it's best to book early.
    This home is on Lakeshore Drive and across the street from "Sander's Beach" in the heart of Coeur d' Alene. There is very little traffic on the street and it's one of the quietest neighborhoods for a Coeur d' Alene vacation. Many
    happy past vacationers have referred others to stay here at the Lakeshore Cottage. We are confident you'll love your stay at the Lakeshore Cottage in CdA.

Awesome little cottage! Perfect for our family of four to gather for Thanksgiving. Close to town and directly across from Lake CoeurD’Alene. It had everything (& more) we wanted for a long weekend getaway…even bikes and kayaks!! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, the bedding was cozy and we were walking (or biking) distance to anywhere.

Great stay close to beach - kayaks and bikes

Very nice place with a front balcony that had great seating and a partial view of the lake. The place was clean and comfortable. Best of all was the garage full of bikes and kayaks! The beach was just a half block away across the street, so we could launch the kayaks down there. And easy to bike from the house in various directions.

Perfect stay

Jack's house was perfect for us during our first time in Coeur d'Alene as part of a long road trip. We loved how close the location was to the lake. We enjoyed the porch out front while having an evening cocktail. The house was clean and comfortable, and the back yard was great for our dog. I'm not sure we will get back to this jewel of an area, but if we do, we will definitely try and stay here again.

A perfect summer family spot!

We loved our stay, with walks up Tubbs and paddle boarding trips to beaches. The quick jaunt to town and Coeur d’Alene Coffee Company was fun, and the location was perfect for feeling ‘away’ in a quiet lakeside neighborhood while also having conveniences minutes away The house is perfectly cute and comfortable, and our mornings and evenings on the porch were bliss. Jack, the owner, was accessible, warm, and helpful. Can’t wait to come again next year!

Great Stay in CDA

So happy to have stayed at this cottage on a 3-day visit to Couer d'Alene. The house itself was lovely (and the bed in the master bedroom was super comfy). The location was fantastic. I sat on the porch several times looking at the lake across the street. We walked to dinner from the cottage every night and it was great. Definitely will try to book here again when I go back to CDA.

September 15-22, 2024 All of the positive reviews are spot on, but if you've never been to CDA, you don't realize until you get there how great the location is. Tubbs Hill is just steps away and you will want to walk it several times to enjoy its spectacular views. Restaurants/grocery store either walkable or a short drive away. The porch view is lovely and the shoreline street is very quiet in September.

Such a pleasant stay!

I booked this idealylic cottage for my wife's birthday. While the Seaplane I had booked for birthday was cancelled due to weather, we were able to take in the car show and shops as the random rain torrents went on. It was very enjoyable to return to this cottage, the fireplace, and the view of the lake! The host were very responsive in answering questions. It is very likely that we will book this place again the next time we stay in Coeur d'Alene!

Would stay here again

The property has a great location. The kitchen had a good supply of dishes, pans and utensils. There were plenty of towels. The rooms were comfortable. The view was peaceful. If you are staying in the wintertime when there might be snow, you might want to know that the garage is detached from the house. This wasn’t a problem for us, but it might be for someone coming during the winter time. I would definitely recommend this property.

Best Location

This location is the best, it was quiter than staying in town, but just a few minutes away. It is about as close to the lake as you could want, and stocked with everything you could hope. The kitchen had everything we needed. When I thought the floor plan was a little dark at night, I found an extra nightlight in the kitchen drawers. The garage was stocked with inflatables and kayaks and bikes and I can't imagine anything else we could have possibly needed for a fun trip. This location is the best and we hope to stay here again soon. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Idyllic Cottage & Vicinity

We were visiting family in the area and had the fortune of finding this gem of a cottage for our four day stay in CDA. The home is super clean, well appointed, comfy and stocked with everything you could ask for and more. I especially loved sitting at the dining room table with my early morning coffee and watching the sunrise over the lake (while my husband slept in of course :) The view from the front porch is lovely and the street is quiet. Our beloved furry child LOVED running around the fenced backyard. We had planned on exploring a little more of CDA but rarely left this sweet cottage we enjoyed so very much! Maybe we’ll see more of the town next time!

Lakeshore Cottage

Sitting on the welcoming front porch, being warmed by a gas table-top flickering fire, one looks across street (to the left) to Lake CdÁ. Cottage layout is very straight forward ... combined living/dinning room, kitchen to left, one bedroom off kitchen and other off living room where bathroom (tub/shower) is located. If neighbor would move their truck, parked in alley, parking in back would be much more convenient (small vehicles only in alley). We were out'n about most of the time, so didn't take advantage of cottage's TVs or games. Jack is a very responsive host - we'd certainly stay there again.
