Dog-Friendly Family Getaway with Two Canoes, Rec Room & Lake Access Nearby

Rockford Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Plan your next family reunion or getaway with friends at this Coeur d'Alene home that includes two canoes, two inflatable stand-up paddleboards, and water access only 150 yards downhill! Enjoy the views from the large deck out back, which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and group barbecues, and step inside to find a bright living room with a gas stove fireplace, comfortable furnishings, and an entertainment center that opens up to a cable TV. There's even a recreation room on the lower level, offering a pool table (with an interchangeable top that switches to Ping-Pong) and a wet bar for the adults once the kids have gone to bed.

What's nearby:
This home is nestled in a wooded area surrounded by natural beauty, right near the lake. The public access point is nearby (although please note that the path is a steep grade and can be challenging), and there's a canoe caddy in the garage to help you transport the gear. If you're traveling with a large boat, Rockford Bay Marina is one mile away. To experience the culture of Coeur d'Alene, a 20-mile drive will bring you to an assortment of quaint shops and restaurants in the center of town. Come winter, the lakes freeze up and it's not uncommon to see locals ice skating or playing hockey. This charming town also hosts a yearly outdoor ice skating rink (fees apply). Looking for even more adventure?The family favorite Silverwood Theme Park is only 34 miles north.

Things to know:
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
Two dogs up to 50 lbs. are welcome (kennel provided)
Two canoes, a canoe caddy, two inflatable stand-up paddleboards, three oars, and adult- and child-size life jackets provided

*Please note that guest access to the lake is limited to a narrow strip of grass between two private properties. It is marked with a 'Public Access' sign and is for launching paddleboards or canoes. No fires are allowed, and the strip is not to be used as a beach for lounging.

End of June stay
Loved the location and the house. However, there were a few issues with the cleanliness when we arrived. One toilet was plugged, there was what looked like laundry soap (a lot) in the sheets of one of the beds, there were a lot of foreign hairs in the showers and tubs.

Girls Trip!!
The view was wonderful the house was very comfortable. It could use a good cleaning and anyone who rents this needs to be aware that there are no condiments at all. Usually in other houses there are salt and pepper shakers, some cooking oil and maybe a few spices. There is nothing in the kitchen in that way so be sure and bring your own. We had a beautiful on the back deck in the sun, with the deer and an eagle in the tree for company. If the house was cleaner it could be a 5.

Spacious home, needs some TLC
Spacious home with plenty of space for a large group, and incredible views of lake CD’A. Nice place, but needs TLC and a deep cleaning. With this done it will be great. Bugs in the window sills, deck hadn’t been swept/cleaned in quite some time. Pine needles overflowing from the roof. Guest shower upstairs has a broken shower head bracket which was “fixed” by installing the wand at about the 4ft level. With some deep cleaning and upkeep this could be 5 stars.

Quilting retreat
Lovely big house with a fabulous view of the bay. Deer, eagles, wild turkeys. Short drive to city with nice restaurants and shopping. Quiet and peaceful. Owners are very accommodating and take suggestions. We stay here twice a year for our sewing retreat and the big dining table is perfect for all our sewing stuff. House is well equipped and we have a lovely peaceful time. Highly recommend.

Met our needs
The neighborhood was quiet and the view to the lake was 10/10. This home met our need of having a spacious place to stay with our family who traveled from Washington. One thing I will point out is the public access for the lake is in a steep decline to the lake and it is narrow. My wife and I are marathon runners and CrossFit goers and it was an exhausting to get the canoes down to the lake and back up. The place did have a dolly which has seen better days.

Weekend family getaway
This is our third time renting this home so it’s a testament to how much we like it. That said we had two issues this trip. First the door code provided did not work. We waiting quite a bit of time to get some support which was frustrating. Secondly, the hinge on the front door came undone. We were able to fix it so the door closed but it needs to be permanently fixed. Home is perfect for hosting family and great view of the lake. Yes we WIL be back

Tranquil spot in the woods
We stayed 4 days, and it’s a beautiful spot to relax. It’s a lovely property, and the amenities were as advertised. The Queen and twin mattresses could use improvement, and the lack of curtains on the lower level leads to 5am wakeups due to sunlight. The Venetian blinds present just aren’t up to the task. Some of the deck chairs are in need of repair, and one is nearly broken through. Overall, a lovely way to get away from the heat, and breathtaking views of Rockford Bay made this a family vacation that will be a treasured memory.

We loved the location of the property. The house was well laid out and we had plenty of room. It is an older home that needs some TLC to make it a bit more inviting. Overall we had a great time.

Peaceful
We loved the house. It was clean and in a very quiet neighborhood. The downstairs was perfect for our older children to hang out in. We had an issue but contacted the host and they made it more then right for us! Do bring your own laundry soap and toilet paper the house has some to get started but you will need more.

Really nice house!
Walking into the house when we first got there was probably the worst part about this stay. As you open the door, the stench of dogs just slaps you in the face. I understand this house is animal accessible but I think if animals are allowed there should be some sort of special cleaning that can be done for the next group that shows up. Other than that, the house was everything we would’ve wanted and more. It is extremely spacious and the jetted tub was perfect to end a long day. The amenities (pool table, ping pong, etc) were great as well. Will definitely recommend this house to any family/friends looking to stay near Coeur d’Alene and I will definitely rent again. Thank you

Lots of Space
Big home with plenty of entertainment. The weather didn't cooperate but can't blame the house for that. Gas stove, board games, pool and ping pong were a hit. A little further from town than anticipated.

Beautiful view
We loved the location of the home all though it is difficult if you plan to paddle board etc. There is a narrow strip of public land down to the water but there are huge rocks there so it makes it difficult to launch... we did it but we were hoping for a little better spot than that to launch our paddle boards. The view from the living room is incredible no need for a TV and that good because the TV in the living room will work for movies but not for cable. We did watch a football game while we were there but had to do so from the basement where the cable did work. It would be very nice to have a sheet there with what channels are what (ABC NBC ESPN etc). We enjoyed the games in the house and also used the ping pong table. The home was very nice except for how dirty it was inside. Most of the floors were clean but we had a dirty pan that was left in the oven, the pads for picking up hot things were very dirty and we washed them and they came clean so we assume they weren't washed at all. There were two towels left in the washing machine that had big red stains on them. we had a pretty big infestation of fruit flies in the kitchen that took us about 4 days to get rid of. We contacted the VRBO team but no one ever came to help with that. The master bathroom had a very small amount of tissue paper and the other bathrooms had none. The bathroom in the basement had an old bar of soap left in it so not sure if it was cleaned before we arrived or not. Apart from the home not being very clean inside we enjoyed the deck, BBQ and the view especially. We saw Turkeys, Deer, ducks geese and even a mother Moose with her young while were there. The good thing for the cleaners is we left the home a lot cleaner when we left than it was when we arrived.... We appreciate being able to spend time at such a beautiful place. OH yeah while you are there make sure you go to Shooters, food is great, service is great and also very quick!!

Great house w/ missing basic amenities
First off the house is great and I'd stay there again. I am also a Vacasa rental OWNER so I'm surprised at some of the missing items. - TV is incredibly small (basically a computer screen) with only local channels - There was no laundry detergent - The toilet paper was sparse at best, we had to buy local - We spent all weekend light on bath towels only to find at the very end that many were left in the dryer by housekeeping. Again, great house 5 stars would stay again but at this price and with no real beach access they should have it stocked properly. Brandon

Large, fairly nice house but many details were disappointing
Plusses: house is nicer and in better condition than the photos suggest. Can sleep many people in a number of rooms, big dining table, primary bedroom has a table that can be used as a desk, and wi-fi supported video conferencing pretty well. Paddle boards and kayak are very nice to have. But not the best value considering the price and the lack of waterfront (we were visiting friends with a place on the lake down the lane but wouldn't book without access to their beach) and many smaller things that added up. Such as... If you want to cook, bring your own equipment. While the kitchen has lots of dishes, there were no plastic cutting boards and only one incredibly dull chef's knife (basically useless). Remember to bring extra garbage bags and dishwashing tablets. There wasn't enough propane on our first night to barbecue and no extra can so we ended up forced to cook at our friends' house. (Vacasa's initial response was awful, "That's all you get." I drove out to Elder Road to try to buy an extra but nearest propane tank was back in CdA town, at least 45 minutes away.) AC shut off at night and there was no way to access the thermostat. Highs were over 100 degrees on the days we were there and so it was hard to sleep. Some beds were not comfortable. $500 mattresses from Costco would be a big improvement. The exterior dog area in the backyard was not secure so don't rely on it as a run.

There were some issues with cleanliness upon our arrival. Vacasa did make it right but hopefully they will correct it for the future. The home size was perfect for our group, the view of the water was beautiful. There is just about everything you need for cooking meals and the deck is nice.
