About this property

Lakefront, Private Dock, Best Views from the Best Bay on the Lake, Close to Town

Our home on Neachen Bay (formally Squaw Bay) is an ideal place to spend your vacation. It is lakefront with dramatic views of the lake and mountains from the house and two decks. We have a private boat dock that includes waverunner docking and use of paddle boat, kayak and swim ladder. The best thing is our proximity to town and Coeur d’Alene Resort and Golf Course - 10 minutes by boat. Lake Coeur d'Alene is a HUGE lake that extends over 80 miles south of town.

Keep this in mind when you choose a home to rent. Our vacation home is located on Neechen Bay which is on the east side of the lake, across the bay from the new Gosser Ranch Golf and Lake Club, and just minutes from town. This newer, modern home is very tastefully done with lots of amenities including WiFi. Our home has lots of large windows with exceptional views of the lake.

Come out, bring your boat and take advantage of this rare opportunity to relax, reconnect with your family and rediscover all that Idaho and Lake Coeur d'Alene have to offer.

The pictures of this place are very misleading. There is a road between the house and the lake and you have to climb a lot of stairs just to get in the house and then the kitchen and the master bedroom are on the upstairs if they would’ve taken a picture from the dock towards the house, a person would’ve seen all this and a floor plan would be nice if I’ve known this I wouldn’t have rented the place

We loved being on the lake and really enjoyed having our own dock! We were about 30 minutes to town (Harrison) and about 25 minutes to Couer d' Alene so going out to dinner each night was a bit of a trek. There is a futon in the bunk room but we could not find sheets or blankets for it so we were not able to use it. The bunk room does not have a door and is located next to the front door so it was hard not to disturb our teens as we were coming and going in the early mornings. The house was clean and we generally enjoyed our stay!

Gorgeous lake home with a fabulous dock that even had a kayak and canoe to use while there! Amazing views from house. We enjoyed the fire out on the balcony every night. The best were very comfy and the house had plenty of clean towels, a huge bonus for a lake house! The grill worked great and the glass baking dishes in the kitchen are good, so plan to grill and bake while there - all other pans are pretty scratched non-stick so we didn’t use. Loved having the general store with a dock right across the water, easy 5-minute paddle to ice cream, snacks, sandwiches, pizza! We highly recommend this cabin and would come again!

The biggest issue is that the internet is extremely slow (1-2Mbps which I tested multiple times throughout the week). If you need to use it to work remotely, it will not work well and streaming services will buffer frequently. Fortunately, a neighbor left their Starlink WiFi open without a password and I travel with my own mini router so I could rebroadcast it through the house. Other than that, the place was nice. The location is great and the house was good for our needs. A couple things to keep in mind:1. There are a lot of stairs.2. There is no door to the bunk room which is not mentioned in the listing3. The upstairs bedroom room can get very warm as the AC unit is pretty far away. 4. Water pressure in the showers is very weak and not very hot.

Great location on the lake, gorgeous sunsets, lake toys galore!!, plenty of bath and swimming towels, very comfy KB in master!! Unfortunately, we spent our first day cleaning the fridge, BBQ grill, picnic table, TONS of duck poop and spider webs of the dock, and trying to reorganize the overfilled kitchen cabinets so we could put away our groceries. There was an overwhelming ant problem in the lower level bedroom and several non-working lightbulbs, but the owners came by (unexpectedly) the next day and spent an hour spraying the inside and outside of the home and laying down ant traps, which unfortunately didn’t help much. At this price point I would expect a few additional comforts such as a microwave with a rotating plate, an automatic ice machine that you don’t have to keep filling with water all day, higher quality cooking utensils, nonstick pans that aren’t scratched, better WIFI. It is a GOOD home, but with some updates and organization it could be even better!! To those bringing boats, the dock and home is very dark at night, bring a flashlight to help navigate.

Thank you for the positive comments about our lakefront location, sunsets, lake toys, towels, and comfortable master bedroom. We also appreciate constructive suggestions and will consider appropriate adjustments. I do want to clarify the statement that we arrived “unexpectedly.” Through VRBO correspondence on Saturday, Aug. 8 at 6:28 p.m., I responded to your concerns about the light bulbs and ants and stated, “My wife and I were going to Sandpoint on Sunday and would stop by to bring bulbs and spray the house.” On Sunday, Aug. 9 at 11:33 a.m., you replied, “The ants are back this morning so if you could take care of that today, we would definitely appreciate it.” My wife and I drove from Boise and arrived at approximately 3:00 p.m. that day. We replaced bulbs, sprayed both inside and outside the home, and placed ant traps in an effort to address the issue immediately. We work hard to accommodate our guests. When we arrived at the house, the number of people at the property exceeded what was permitted under the rental agreement. Rather than disrupt your family’s vacation, we chose not to make an issue of it. We take pride in our home, respond promptly when concerns arise, and appreciate feedback that helps us continue improving our guests’ experience.

This house is located on a beautiful little bay. We rented a boat and enjoyed motoring out to the larger lake area for tubing and fun, and then swimming off the dock with bald eagles overhead. The house is clean and welcoming and the views can't be beat.

Perfect location!

Our family of five enjoyed our stay at this lake house. It's a bit of a drive from town, but ended up being the perfect location. The water on the bay is perfect for families to play in the lake and to use the kayak, canoe, and pedal boat. Plus the views are beautiful. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out and enjoy themselves.

Beautiful location on a quiet area of the lake close to CdA.

The house location is excellent in terms of proximity to the lake but not a busy area for lake traffic. As with almost every house on the lake renters should be aware there are a series of steps, 3 stories, that must be climbed, to go from the dock and lake level to the living and kitchen level. People with mobility problems might have issues. There is ample sleeping space and the house has all the amenities, appliances, and appointments like cookware, dishes, and water toys needed for an enjoyable stay.

Hi John, Thank you for your feedback. Yes, there are stairs involved from the ground to the top floor of the house. I am hoping the views of the lake and incredible sunsets from the top floor of the house and decks help make the stair climbing worth it. Thank you much for picking our house. Please come back if you are ever in the area looking for a lake vacation. Best regards and safe travels. Wayne and Jill, Property Owners.

Mixed Experience, Gorgeous Views

We stayed at the property for 10 days. Unfortunately, upon arrival, the house had not been prepared for guests, which was a significant inconvenience. We had to strip and wash all the soiled bedding and towels ourselves, as well as clean goose feces off the dock. Additionally, maintenance had to come to replace filters for low water pressure and fix a non-flushing toilet downstairs. However, the owner was very responsive and refunded the full cleaning fee. Despite these issues, the house had everything our family needed, with plenty of space, a well-stocked kitchen, and a beautiful location. The sunsets were magical. On a different note, there were several wasp nests on the house/ roof, which could become a serious issue if not addressed.

Great location

Location Location Location. Great property - well stocked with kitchen essentials, well-built (floors and doors don't creak), and great view. Beach towels, canoe, kayak. Internet did not work upon check-in, and host was quick to respond. We did some troubleshooting (satellite-based internet), and I actually went to the neighbor to look at their Hughes set up. Router was fried - and host got a new one there the next day....problem solved. What needs to be emphasized - the main living area is 3 floors up from the car. There are lots of stairs...in the house, and to the beach (which is across the 'road'). If you are mobility challenged, this won't work. Kitchen is 1 floor away from the grill and outdoor table. It's a beautiful and historic location on CDA. If you can make the stairs work, it's a great choice.

About the host

Hosted by wayne a callender

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Wayne. I live in Boise and bought this property in 2004 for family and friends to come rest, relax and enjoy. The views of Lake Coeur d'Alene are breathtaking. We often get wildlife around the bay, including Bald Eagles, Moose, Geese and Deer. I am sure you will love this bay as much as we do. This area of the lake is protected and calm, yet close to Coeur d'Alene Resort.

Why they chose this property

Our home is directly on the lake, and it’s a 20-minute car ride to Coeur d Alene, bike and hiking trails. It is a 5-10 minutes boat ride to restaurants, nightly entertainment, local coffee shops, grocery store, and fuel for the boat is directly across the bay. You can take relaxing walks in the morning and evening or dangle your feet in the water as the sun sets. You can enjoy your favorite beverage from the top deck and watch the deer as they nibble from the trees. The National forest is minutes away and boat rentals close by.

What makes this property unique

Our home is designed for FAMILY FUN, it has a kayak, paddle boat, room to dock your boat and/or waverunner. You can swim off the dock. The water is calm and clear.
