About this property

Coeur d'Alene's Famous Lakeshore Cottage next to Sander's Beach and 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. The new 10' X 36' front porch with a firepit, rocking chairs and a lake and Tubb's Hill view is a wonderful place to dine or just sit and relax 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. Wife 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 insert, a fully stocked kitchen with Thor range.. Complete with a dishwasher, garbage disposal and the side patio has a new BBQ and separate griddle!
There are bicycles for the entire family and kayaks (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.

Perfect location!

We had the best time during our stay, this was our first time visiting CDA and we will be back! We were able to explore by foot all that CDA has to offer. We enjoyed walking to restaurants and downtown while also spending time enjoying the lake from the patio! Jack was responsive and so helpful with recommendations. So happy to have found this gem!

This property more than lived up to the description. Everything you need in the kitchen, kayaks and bikes in the garage, and a very responsive host. The location next to the hiking trail and proximity to town was perfect. Highly recommend.

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.

Sweet house in a perfect downtown location

We visit Coeur d’Alene 1-2 times a year and hope to eventually relocate here. This property was definitely one of our favorite stays for many reasons. It is located across from Sanders Beach and is in a lovely/quiet neighborhood. We loved sitting on the front porch next to the gas fire pit. The home had everything we needed, very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Super responsive host and communication was great. Will definitely stay here again.

Excellent experience.

Great house. Everything worked perfectly. Good location. This house would not work well for anyone needing assistance getting around as there are lots of stairs. Otherwise we totally recommend the house to anyone visiting the area.

Great little house

My wife and I visited during the off season, in March. It was quiet and beautiful, with a view of the lake. There was a scheduling snafu that was out of Jack’s control, but he was quick to communicate and worked with me to resolve the issue as best as possible. Downtown is walkable, and the Tubbs Hill trailhead is just around the corner. This is a great little get away spot, and I anticipate staying there again with my wife sometime soon.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jack Rosemary

Host profile image
We purchased the Lakeshore Cottage in 2005 and have had many repeat customers and even some "celebrity" guests. We work hard to make guests feel welcome and to enjoy their vacation or business travel stay. We go out of our way to offer all the amenities of home along with bicycles, kayaks, and sporting equipment to use to save you time and money from renting in town.

Why they chose this property

The Sander's Beach neighborhood is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in all of Coeur d'Alene. It is quiet, peaceful and yet it's just 2 minutes from downtown. The neighbors are very friendly and many will wave "hello" from the street as they walk with family, friends or pets. It's a beautiful area and the view to the lake and Tubb's Hill is wonderful.

What makes this property unique

This quaint home has a superb front porch view with lots of seating for dining or enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Sit by the firepit and enjoy the gentle breeze off of the lake. We offer all the amenities of home inside the Lakeshore Cottage and in the garage, there are bicycles (two electric bikes too!) and kayaks for up to 4 persons. (a 2-person kayak and two singles).
