"We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin between Coeur d'Alene and Harrison with the large deck partially overlooking the lake where we viewed waterfowl, bald eagles and deer that visited the property daily. The deck overlooks the neighbor's beautiful garden; their house is close to the property, which reduces privacy a bit. Other neighbors have farm animals, so renters should be aware of roosters crowing at dawn/dusk (which we loved). The highway is just one street over so noise is pretty constant. The house was comfortable with good towels, well stocked kitchen (except scratched pots/pans), and very clean (except dirty deck windows) but could have used patio shading, blinds in living room for p.m. sun, and more lights, and some niceties like a laundry basket and suitcase racks. Due to a heat wave, the house was hot, so we appreciated the AC and fans. We recommend the banister to the master bedroom be extended to the top of the steep stairs and sliding doors updated with outside entry/locks. Renters should be aware that the third bedroom/bath are in a totally different wing of the house on the other side of the garage as was the laundry center, which was very appreciated as we didn't have to pack as much on our trip. The property was just down the road from Lattitudes food truck plus Harrison and their excellent creamery. The caretaker called us at check in to make sure we were settling in. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing time and recommend the Carlin Bay Retreat to all."
