Carlin Bay Retreat on Lake Coeur d'Alene

Great location & beautiful view. Furnishings, towels, bedding could use an refresh but the basics were provided. Easy access to lake and public beach.

The view of the lake was beautiful. The home was very cozy and had a large beautiful kitchen.

Beautiful house. Kitchen more than fully stocked. Quiet neighborhood.

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.

Outstanding View on Beautiful BayVery nice home with outstanding lake view. Exceptionally clean and well stocked. Great place for our group of five friends to gather for several days. Comfortable outdoor furniture, spacious kitchen. Note that the bedrooms are on three different levels, with one downstairs and through the garage. Also the afternoon sun in July-August is intense and heats up the living area, but the fans kept it comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves and will likely be back!

It was ok. The neighbor is way too close, the driveway is small. The house is under construction. There was large amounts of mouse crap all over our motorcycles and atv that were left on the trailer in driveway and all over the deck and end tables. A faulty flapper in the toilet tank caused a lot of water damage which resulted in us not being able to use the power and having someone come over for 3 days to check on the damage. I planned this vacation to honor my son who passed in 2020, we made the best of it, but it was a little disappointing. There was definitely no turn around for a trailer like the website says. The owner also stated that it was possible that someone put too much toilet paper in the toilet, if that were to be true, the toilet would only flood until tank ran out of water. On a positive note the view is great!

Absolutely beautiful views. It was so quiet and very clean. I had a question about the wi-fi and texted the manager. They responded immediately and were very helpful. Thank you for a great home to spend a few day in.

Comfortable and not fussy in any way. 3 of us taking retreat from the fires in neighboring states had a relaxing short stay. Although the house is not on the lake there is a lake view w only a few power lines to be seen out the large windows. The close neighbors have a beautiful garden. House is well stocked with kitchen basics. We enjoyed our stay.

Location has a very unique bedroom configuration, plenty of beds but on many levels of the house and garage. Large windows for terrific views, but they make the temperature controls difficult. Still had a great time!!

Long week-end of bar-b-cue, boating, and ice cream at Harrison. Appreciated internet for checking emails with a number of us on-line at a time. We spent mornings and evenings on the balcony deck enjoying the weather, the view, and each other.

The little beach and swimming area were a great place for everyone in our group and the house and deck gave us plenty of room to spread out. Communications with the owner and property manager were excellent.

Fantastic place right next to the lake with a gorgeous view and only a quarter mile from the beach. Plenty of space in the cabin and has all necessary equipment there.
