Hot August Nights.
Very nice home, clean and with a beautiful view & large outdoor deck. Furnishings are of quality & comfortable. Home is close proximity to town, park, beach, marina & local eateries. A few areas of note include steep rock walkway/stairs in/out the home, rock landscaping, limited lawn or uneven yard, and portable air conditioning units keep the house cool, but they are loud making it difficult to have conversations or listen to tv/music. Our stay occurred on very hot summer days. Host responded quickly to questions.

A lovely house
We really enjoyed our time here. The house is spacious and well cared-for, with a great view of the water. Chad was always responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Coeur D'Alene Rail Trail
Excellent location to explore the rail trail. Beautiful views of the lake. The second bedroom is only good for children right now. If the lower queen bed were made into a trundle (pull out bed) it would also work for adults. We put the mattress on the floor for our stay. The deck is good. The yard is not useful. Price was appropriate. The overall rating reflects the second bedroom and the yard.

Quiet place on the lake
The house was clean and comfortable. Lots of amenities. The AC kept the main bedroom cool; the living room was comfortable but the unit struggled to keep up with the heat. Fall or spring would be my suggestion if you are sensitive to high temperature. This met my needs as I was looking for a quiet place to rest and reflect.

Great Experience
The property manager was super quick to respond and communicate. The house was even nicer than we expected and very well supplied. The view was nice. Staying in August, we very much appreciated the AC. The neighborhood and neighbors were very nice. The town of Harrison was charming and we enjoyed the shops and restaurants. The people in town were very friendly. There wasn’t a foosball table or tandem bike like the listing stated, but we were more interested in spending our time at the lake anyway, so it wasn’t a problem. We had a very enjoyable and positive experience!

Cute town
Harrison is a very cute and friendly town. I enjoyed the small.town feel and the convenience of how close town and the marina was. House was spacious and well cared for. Hosts were thoughtful, prompt and even brought extra supplies mid stay. Even though house is within 30 miles of Coeur D'Alene, the road runs along the lake which is beautiful, but with the curves, it does take close to an hour to drive. Great house and town overall.
