As one person said, "It's a place where a handshake still means something," and that couldn't be more true. The genuine hospitality and sense of community made this stay one we'll always remember. The location is perfect, just a short drive to Silverwood Theme Park and Farragut State Park, yet it feels far from the busy destinations. There's a lot of interesting history in the area too, such as the nearby Navy Post. It's quiet, relaxing, and the perfect place to slow down and reconnect. We can't wait to come back!

It was just prior to Memorial Day weekend, so spring had sprung we had geese with babies parade through our yard and private beach. There were bald eagles and deer everywhere. We had one bald eagle that sat on a tree for hours almost every day. The natural beauty is unrivaled and the owner and his son were so helpful and friendly. We sat for hours outside just enjoying the natural beauty and wildlife. Farragut State Park is literally right next door to the resort, a must see. We loved it there so much that we would love to retire to the area. Thank you for an amazing stay and the most adorable cabin and private beach. Also, everything you could possibly need is in the cabin, including a wine opener so you don't have to bring one. Thank you for making our 25th wedding anniversary so magical!!!!

I wanted to provide an update to my stays. So far, I've stayed 3 times in 2026 and have another…read moretrip planned next month! April 2026- We had a Lakeview double with fireplace. Our stay was 4 nights and we booked several experiences for our time there. The first was a 90 minute massage. The massage room overlooks the marina and is beautiful. The massage itself was just okay. He asked the area he should concentrate and actually that area felt the least attended to. However, it was still very relaxing. My friend and I also booked "Hot winter night" at the infinity pool. This was so much fun as they have an adult hour and lucky for us the center above the pool was hosting prom. Yep- we got our dancing queen on. Might have annoyed the cute couples around us, but a girl's gotta dance! We also booked the "Floating in Frequency" on that Sunday morning. It was a small class and we drifted comfortably around the pool to the sound bowls. Highly recommend! Food is great at the resort and Beverly's "Lakeview Menu" is a great deal. Available until 5:30 each day, you get a 3 course meal for $29.99 with an optional wine pairing for $24.95. We had a window view and got to know the local geese (guarding their nests along the edge) June 2026- Had another friend in town and of course wanted her to experience this resort. We stayed 4 nights in Lake Tower and this time had a west facing view which had beautiful sunsets. The outdoor pool had opened, but we only visited once as it was windy and cold. Instead, we booked a "Girl's escape package" This included massages for both, lunch, and a pedicure. We had a great time. July 4th weekend 2026- This was a last minute book for us, and if we planned ahead would have gone for Lake Tower. However, we were pleasantly surprised at our view of the fireworks from the Park Tower Marina room (stay was 3 nights). This was probably the best for us since we had our dog Luna. It didn't have a balcony, so better for her not to hear the load booms. We spent a day at the infinity pool (rented a beach cabana) and ate dinner early. Then spent the time in the room waiting away for the crowds. The show was amazing and I've never been so close to fireworks with such an amazing view. We had an amazing time!

I am writing to share that our recent stay at the Coeur d'Alene Golf & Spa Resort was extremely…read moredisappointing. It has been many years since I have stayed in a room of such low quality, particularly for a high-end resort. I would like to bring the following issues to your attention: 1. The room was small, dark, and outdated. 2. I ordered chocolate-covered strawberries, but none were supplied. 3. The lack of available power outlets was unacceptable for a modern hotel. 4. The bathroom door was extremely difficult to open and close, requiring two hands to move. 5. Our room was next to the pool, and the pool lights remained on all night. Because the windows only had wooden slats with large gaps instead of curtains, the light shone into our room all night, making it very difficult to sleep. 6. The refrigerator temperature was so weak that the water we placed inside was only slightly chilled. 7. The television programming interface was poor, and the audio cut out frequently while trying to select a program. Any one of these issues would be unacceptable on its own, but experiencing all of them demonstrates a disappointing indifference to the comfort of your guests. While I typically avoid leaving negative reviews, I feel compelled to share this feedback so these issues can be addressed. I look forward to your response regarding how this will be resolved.

We own the timeslot that is at the end of June and beginning of July over the Fourth of July. The weather is always 85 to 95° with warm waters and the lake is amazingly always very open. Meaning you can be on the lake July 3 or fourth and maybe see 10 other boats on a busy day. They also have a firework show that lights up the entire leg. It's put on by Sandpoint and it something we look forward to sharing with our family and friends every year. There are also some new people that come every year that you get to meet from all around the US and we have friends that we have seen there year after year and become close with every year for the last 20 years. This is also the fifth deepest lake in the United States with some parts over 1000 feet deep they used to do submarine testing and part of the northern mountains were a glacier tens of thousands of years ago.

For adults though, it is a bit much with how loud the place is and the lack of care from staff. The furniture in the cabanas is hardly worth sitting on because all of the padding is gone. The key to the lockbox didn't work and there is no privacy. The rooms were a good size but again, the furniture is old and worn out! The room, like other reviews, was not fully cleaned. Loaded dishwasher wasn't ran, gum on a closet wall and toothpick still on the floor. Overall, if I can help it, I will not be returning.

We rented the suite for two nights and then we rented two conjoining rooms for two nights. We also paid for 10 water park tickets. Night one we get into the room and as I unpacked the groceries I noticed the fridge hadn't been cleaned. I was in a hurry so I just wiped it out with the soap and sponge they provided. I got to the table to start setting up the table cloth and found blood all over it. Next I used the bathroom and the trash can under the sink hadn't been changed. We sat down on the couch to hook up our fire stick and found a bra just lying under the corner table. The prices keep going up and up and the quality keeps going down. I am convinced they don't clean rooms. You can't miss blood, a bra, the fridge, and the trash. The waterpark no longer runs tabs. Every single time you want a cocktail you have to track down the member of your group who has the locker key so you can grab your wallet. So for a four day trip you are up and down those stairs to get to the locker non stop. They also don't do shots. So if you want to have a quick shot and then go back to the waterslides ..... you can't. You have sit there and down an entire drink. It was so much better when they ran your card and left it on file for the day. The rules keep growing and the quality is tanking.

They offered breakfast, lunch and dinner and even had adult beverages to enjoy in the evening. The place was well secluded and offered beautiful scenic views of the mountains and the lake behind the property. The lodge is perfect for meetings, events and even a nice place to take your loved one or a place to stay during the winter for snowmobilers.

We asked about seating in the bar and we were told they weren't seating customers in the dining room. I'm very hard of hearing so I usually avoid loud places like the plague but at the time the bar was pretty quiet. We were seated far from the windows which was really the reason we always travel the ~140 mile round trip over from Hope, ID for to see the tamarack's in the fall golden colors. We ordered and there had been a large group seated and they re-arranged the tables to accommodate them beside us. They were very loud, so much so that my wife and I seated beside each other couldn't hear anything. Our appetizer came and the mains were delivered ~1 minute later. We now had a choice eat the appetizer and let the mains go cold or eat the appetizer. I really wanted to just ask the waitress to box up our food so we could get the hell out of there but we shut up ate the cold food, paid the tab and on the way out found guests seated in the nice quiet main dining room.

She wasn't friendly and we actually felt like we were putting her out. We arrived about An hr after they opened. There was only 3 table there before the three of us arrived. It was not crowded at all. We have family who live around this area and this is a favorite place of hers. She messed up on her order and argued with major attitude and blamed it on our family member. Didn't even try to correct the issue or apologize. Not even I'm sorry if I heard it differently how can I correct this. Her attitude was eat it since that is how I heard the order. The other people at the table heard the order correctly. It upset our family member and put a damper on our meal . It was embarrassing she was being spoken to by the server. When all she said is this wasn't what I ordered. The server never came by to see if everything was okay once she brought out the food My husband had to go find her to ask for his toast. Never apologized and seemed like she just didn't want to be there. There were other servers there, so they weren't under staffed. The only time she smiled and was polite was when she brought us our bill. If I ever go back and see her I would ask for another server! I don't write reviews like this but this was sooo totally unacceptable!! Sad but the one star is all due to her, the food was a 3 star. I would give zero stars if I could!
