Location is remote - about 20-25 minutes from town. This is not a drawback at all if you are looking for peace and quiet. The house definitely has a cabin feel. The steps are the real deal, but the view and the decks are fantastic. Buddy and Shannon are as good of hosts as we have ever had. Very responsive.Only real blips were a lack of instructions on how to join wifi - and no cell service to ask how to do it. Drove to service and go the answer right away. Also the photos and description indicate a BBQ grill but there is only the Blackstone griddle which was very nice.This property was exactly what we were hoping for on a 5 day getaway. Fishing guide picked us up right at the dock. Fins and Feathers was awesome too.

This property is amazing! The relaxing lake atmosphere can’t be beat. I had the best time being able to cook with a million dollar view and kick back and relax watching the sunset from the deck. Communication with the property owner was fast and effective with all questions being answered. I would recommend this property to anyone and would love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful time. The house was cooled during these 90 degree days. Stairs from parking and dock/lake would be hard for some, but we managed. Deck was wonderful… views terrific! Only complaint was a fishy smell in fridge and freezer that kinda permeated food. Water pressure was low, but owners rushed to change fliers when we contacted them.

This was a great place to stay

We had our family of four (2 teenage daughters), and the space was perfect for us. We loved the location on the lake. We loved sitting on the deck and playing games and reading books on the dock. We were able to rent a pontoon and have it delivered right to the dock. We didn't eat much, but the kitchen seemed well-supplied.

Lovely cabin on Lake CDA!

Our family of four had a great week at this lovely lake cabin. The private dock was great, and we spent a lot of time paddle boarding and swimming on the lake. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. My kids really enjoyed the DVD collection. We would definitely go back!

We had a great time, and loved the view. Older home, and odd layout (no bathroom upstairs), but plenty sufficient. Host/owner was great … very responsive. Upstairs beds were a little old/crickedy, but again, plenty sufficient.

Great Property! Great Lake views. Lots of indoor/outdoor living space. Plenty of room for 8 people. House was SPOTLESS when we checked in. Owners frequently checked in with us to make sure our needs were being met. Plenty of space to dock our 22 ft tri toon. Don’t hesitate to book if looking for Lakeside getaway.

Fantastic lake home

So many memories were made. Situated in a calm alcove of Lake Coeur d’Alene, this is a beautiful, well-appointed, vacation home. We made countless memories and enjoyed sunsets from the deck each night. We brought quite a bit of luggage and the stairs, while daunting at first sight, were easy to navigate. So thankful we found this home and hope to return again in the future.

Excellent Lake House for Family and a Friends

The house is in a bay that stays relatively quiet and calm even when a lot of boats are out on the weekends. That helped us really enjoy swimming and kayaking around the dock. The only slight issue was some broken glass outside on the deck when we got to the property and One of the garbage bins was full which was challenging with 5 adults staying for a week. Beautiful views of the lake from the balcony and more than enough room for us. Highly recommend this rental

Beautiful Property

This was a very nice house, quite clean and overlooking the lake. It has a nice front porch to hang out on and good light in the main living room. Make sure that you are up to climbing the front steps before renting this house -- it has 65 steps from the street to the front door! Also, only one bedroom is on that main floor. The other bedrooms are another flight up the stairs.

Lakefront property in quiet bay

Great place to stay on CdA lake!! Stayed here with a small group of friends with young kids. The location was ideal as we spent all of our time down at the water. Property owners were very responsive, when there was confusion over checkout time, they quickly responded and allowed for a later check out time. This was the only discrepancy we had as the checkout time was listed at 11 on our rental information but was actually 10, but this issue was resolved promptly. The cabin and amenities were what you would expect for a slightly dated lake place. The fire pit did not work and we did run out of toilet paper the last day, but both issues were communicated to the owner and they offered to reimburse any personal costs for TP. Before booking, know that there are a lot of stairs from the parking spot/lake to the cabin, as this would limit accessibility for anyone with knee or hip problems. The bay itself was private, quiet and ideal for swimming and water sports. The dock is in good condition and the water is clear with a nice sandy beach walk-in, as you get deeper the bottom gets a little rocky. We really enjoyed our stay, the lakefront location is ideal, there is an amazing view of the lake from the deck, cabin was cozy. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Owners were responsive and pleasant.

great location with private dock but needs an upstairs bathroom

On a positive note, the house has a wonderful western exposure and a fantastic private dock and it is also only 15 or 20 minutes to town. In our case, six adults stayed in this house and it was plenty big to accommodate us, however, we should have more closely scrutinized the bathroom situation. The first floor was very comfortable and easily fit 6 of us in both the living rooms and the kitchen but the sleeping accommodations were less than perfect. Two of the sleeping areas were on the second floor; one being a open loft area with 2 beds and the other a bedroom with a queen bed and a door. The loft would have been fine had the second bedroom not needed to walk through the loft area at night to access the narrow wooden stairs leading to a bathroom on the first floor. The stairs were narrow and poorly lit (unless you left lights on which would have kept the ppl in the loft awake) thus a flash light was needed to navigate the stairs. It was not an ideal situation for adults who need to get up and use the facilities at night. The 3rd bedroom, located off the kitchen on the first floor, was very comfortable and conveniently located next to a bathroom however the floors above that room squeaked a lot every time a person in either of the upstairs bedrooms got up and moved around. The kitchen was well equipped and the washer/dryer was very appreciated. There were plenty of towels and beach towels too. The deck off the kitchen had a grill, fire table and dining table with an umbrella but the railing was a bit shaky and the deck surface had a few holes. We used it but were careful not to lean on the railing. The view off the deck was fantastic. All in all we had a nice visit. The house was clean and comfortable. I think this house is perfect for a family with older children or two couples. Just beware all the stairs both inside and out...

Response from VrboOwner on 28 September 2021
Thank you for the feedback Jackie. We have taken note of the stairs to the upstairs bedroom needing better lighting and will install some rope light. Yes, the deck railing is safe structurally but it is getting a little worn and will be replaced this fall and ready for the 2022 season in additional to a very nice kitchen upgrade!

About the host

Hosted by Buddy & Shannon Braach

Host profile image
We have always loved the Lake Coeur d'Alene area and wanted to have a piece of it for years to come. Summer nights spent on the lake are unbeatable and this home allows us to share those moments with our family, friends and our guests. We encourage feedback from all of our guests as we are always looking for ways to enhance the property and the vacation experience.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because we absolutely love the Pacific Northwest and specifically Lake Coeur d'Alene. Neachen Bay is a beautiful, quiet cove that is close to downtown and all of the amenities that Coeur d'Alene has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The house sits up on the hill which creates privacy along with spectacular views. The private, sandy beach and the dock are great benefits to this home.
