A true rating of Moose Lodge is six stars! My family and I couldn't have been happier with our experience. My entire family lives in Michigan, and I don't get to see them as often as I would like. I had always dreamed of reuniting with all of our kids for Christmas, but bringing everyone together in one location had always been a challenge. I wanted for my children to have a glimpse of the magic my sisters and I experienced as kids. I found Moose Lodge online and knew it would be the perfect place for us. I just didn't realize how perfect it would turn out to be!
From the moment we arrived, the magic came alive. This home was incredible! If you can imagine the perfect balance between comfort and elegance, you have it. The driveway winds down to the lakefront estate, which offered a cozy escape to the frigid wind outside. The grand entrance opens up to the main living area with an incredible gourmet kitchen. We were so surprised to find a gift tote filled to the brim with local goodies...coffee, wine, snacks, BBQ sauce, and games for the guests! Such a nice touch! There were several fireplaces that we lit immediately. The ceiling was high and quite grand as were the windows offering an exquisite view of Lake Coeur d'Alene. The looming pine trees were all heavy with globs of freshly fallen snow, and the contrast of this against the lake and the stormy skies was just breathtaking! There were 18 of us all together, and we couldn't have been more comfortable! The beds were so snugly and of high quality. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the beds tucked inside large closet nooks, which were hidden in the upstairs bedrooms! So cute and cozy...perfect for those games of hide-and-seek! Each of the five bedrooms had a full private bathroom. And, the bathrooms were stocked with everything you might need...blow dryers, shampoo, conditioner, dental floss, toothbrushes, thick luxurious towels, and the list goes on. There was even a movie theater with super cozy lazy boy chairs and couches...the kids were in hog heaven!!
Downtown CDA was only 15-20 minutes away, so we drove in to town a couple of times for some shopping, but to be honest...we didn't want to leave Moose Lodge! It had everything we needed without all the crowds!
We will absolutely be back and are so very grateful to the owners for their thoughtful preparations!
