Carlin Bay Retreat on Lake Coeur d'Alene - Eagle Watch this Winter!

Beautiful views of Lake Coeur d'Alene, and a 10 minute walk to Carlin Bay Resort & Marina. Our 3-bed, 3-bath, 3-level home sits on a hill 70 feet above the lake, looking out the floor to ceiling windows at Carlin Bay, the lake, and the surrounding hills. The newly renovated wrap-around deck provides spectacular views of the lake and beautiful sunsets.

Seasonal note - Last winter there were a record number of bald eagles that visited our area from Thansgiving to early January. For more info, check out the BLM's Lake Coeur d'Alene Eagle Watch page.

The Loft En Suite has a king bed and jetted tub. Main floor bedroom has full/ twin bunk-bed with additional twin-size pull-out trundle and adjoining full bath. Ground level bedroom has a queen bed and adjoining full bath. There is also a queen-size sofa-sleeper in the living area on the main floor that has a comfy memory foam mattress. And a twin-size day bed nestled in the corner of the main floor living area.

The king and queen beds have plush foam-over-spring mattresses. The bunk beds have memory foam mattresses.

The fully complemented kitchen has plenty of storage space for food and supplies, and a large granite-topped island providing plenty of room for food preparation and serving. Dining table seats 8 and there is additional seating at the high-top table and the kitchen island. An outdoor gas grill is also provided just outside the kitchen door on the newly renovated deck.

On the lake side of the house is a secluded sitting area with a propane fire table where you can enjoy the view and perhaps a glass of wine after a day on the lake or exploring local backroads and trails.

We recently installed StarLink satellite internet service (June 2024). Back-up service is provided by a Verizon mobile hot-spot. Verizon signal is excellent. All cell providers' signals are boosted with a We-Boost unit.

There is a public beach and boat launch next to the Carlin Bay Marina, providing easy access to the lake within a 3-minute drive (about a 10-minute walk). Free public parking is available directly across the street from the beach park.

Overall, it's a great place to get away and relax, or use as a base to do some boating, fishing, hiking, bird watching, and exploring. Don't be surprised to see a bald eagle or two soaring overhead or perched on a nearby tree limb...

Nice, quiet retreat
Lovely cabin in the woods with an incredible view of the lake. We had a family getaway and enjoyed the location very much. Our only suggestions would be that a few oversized baby gates be provided, as there are a lot of stairs and it was a challenge keeping our 2 year old granddaughter safe.

Great Stay
We had our annual family get together at Carlin Bay last weekend, the home was perfect. Large kitchen well stocked with cooking equipment, plenty of places to sleep and just hang out and visit. Our son brought his fishing boat and we used the ramp just down the hill, couldn't be more convenient, you could walk to it from the house if needed. The Latitudes food trailer at the ramp and park has a great menu too. The outdoor fire and large deck are great to watch sunsets from, and the grill was big enough to make a meal for everyone. Had no trouble getting information from the owner and check in was quick over the phone. Great location, great stay.

Spacious house with beautiful views
We had a wonderful time staying at Gary’s property. The home is spacious and well supplied. The view from the back deck is amazing!! We were grateful for the a/c on the main floor and loft, as the August sun beats in STRONG in the afternoon. Glad to see he updated the listing regarding the WiFi/internet and TV streaming; neither is provided by host. The deck and outdoor stairs definitely need some maintenance. Hopefully that will be seen to soon. Overall we had a great time in the Coeur d’Alene/Harrison area and we will definitely be back!

Lovely part of the lake but house is tired
The location was perfect - quiet, out of the way and close to a marina. But the house needs some love. The inside was very nice, but There is no grassy area as shown - if there was, it is now over grown with tall weeds. We were going to bring our boat but decided not to and that was a good thing as there is no way we could have turned it around. The outside was very tired and the deck was super sketchy. Pictures online seem to be after a remodel some time ago.

Nice place...
This house was very clean, well equipped and furnished with new and clean pieces. It was more updated than the pictures depicted. To be honest we only used the home to sleep in as we were gone every day till very late. We spent very little time there durning the day but it met all our needs. The mattresses were very comfortable! The master is in the wide open which was a little inconvenient, especially with children. The water heater does not have a lot of endurance and the pressure in the upstairs shower was lacking. But overall we were very comfortable and pleased with the communication from the host and property manager.

Home sweet home
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.

Lovely Place a a Home Base for Exploring CDA
The cabin was nicely appointed and had everything that we needed. Anyone with mobility issues should be aware that there is a long flight of stairs into the main floor. You will need to carry everything in up the stairs. This is very typical for all of the houses in this area since they are lakeside. We enjoyed the deck with its beautiful views. We had plenty of room to park our car and trailer
