Nearest Airport: Spokane, WA at 60 Miles
Nearest Beach: beach at 60 Miles
Lake Coeur d'Alene is one of Idaho's largest lakes - from the dock you can cruise up the lake with your boat 15-20 minutes to downtown, or take the 25-minute scenic drive by car on paved Highway 97. You can spend your whole vacation exploring this magnificent lake. Swimming is great from June until the end of September when water temperatures reach 75F. Our dock and beach are good for kids because there is a concrete ramp that goes part way out to about 3.5 foot depth. You can watch them close by from the dock or the decks, and the water is invitingly crystal clear. Our west exposure brings the odd squall when it's best to pull boats out temporarily.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Driftwood Bay, Idaho

You can plan your day over morning coffee on the deck, even listen to music from the deck speakers. Many of our guests enjoy the area golfing at a dozen local courses ranging from lavish to pitch-and-putt. Others come to fish and boat. We have a great central location for fishing and there are many lovely, quiet mornings for water skiing. Some of you come to relax and soak up the views, the gentle sound of the waves, the shade of the lawn, or late Fall sunshine. Our main deck is built around a 100-year old pine, and there are sitting areas there and on the slate patio and upper deck for both sun and shade as the long summer days change. Winter and Spring are wonderful times here when there is a lot of game and few people and boats. It's a four seasons vacation area with four major downhill ski resorts within a one to two hour radius of the house.

If you have to do some work, we have cell and cellular broadband coverage, as well as a land line for dial-up. The satellite service features HD packages and local stations. No smokers or pets. Shorter stays and lower rates available off-season. Boats docked at the house are limited to 21' or 5000 lbs. Larger boats up to 30 feet can be docked in our Large, sheltered boat slip- 5 minutes away from the house.

Here are a few quotes taken from the in-home guestbook we ask our guests to sign. 'We had a fabulous time here. Who knew you could find such a beautiful house on the internet?' 'We had one of our best family reunions here.' 'Thank you so much for sharing a bit of heaven on earth with us. It was such a great week- just too short.' 'A peaceful oasis that's scenic and relaxing-this place is a wonderful retreat for us from the hectic lives we lead.' 'We really had a great time and I personally enjoyed your kitchen layout and all the kitchen utensils you have provided. Fantastic kitchen' ' We have traveled all over the US and Europe but this still ranks as one of my favorite vacations! ' 'Your home is just impeccable...immaculate and stocked with more amenities than we ever expected!' 'Fabulous place, we'll be back!' 'We've been to Alaska, Hawaii, Disney World, Cancun and Chicago-but we've been to Driftwood Lodge three times!'

Other Activities: parasailing, biking, snowboarding, shopping, boating, Near Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes 85 mile-long bike trail.

Ironman at Driftwood Lodge

LaBeanie Portland, OR
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had a wonderful week at Driftwood Lodge for our son's Ironman competition. The house was perfect for three couples and two young children with each family having it's own separate quarters and bathroom and everything was in tip-top shape. The view of the lake is lovely and the deck well set up and comfortable. The Cameron's are extremely hospitable and feel like part of your family before you are done. They have certainly done a thorough job of stocking the house. We would certainly recommend this house and would love to return.

Driftwood Lodge July 2009

Chuck & Lorraine Monmouth, Oregon
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our famly thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Driftwood Lodge. We arrived to be greeted by Tammye, Don and Sarah who gave us a tour of the house, which was really helpful as far as explaining the amenities.

The house was immaculate and beautiful. The bathrooms were luxurious. The kitchen was very well stocked. We especially loved the fresh flowers in the foyer which were beautiful all week. The view to the lake was just great. The house is close to the beach, no long winding steps down to the lake, and the house area is enclosed by a gated fence, which was great for the safety of our 2 grandchildren. They enjoyed the water and the swing set on the lawn every day. The air conditioning was great to have as it did get hot. If we got too hot we went inside to play games and read books in the library/loft. The kids caught a few bass right off the dock.

We loved the house and relaxation so much nobody really wanted to do many activities off of the property. Some did take a mountain bike ride on the Hiawatha Rail Trail, a very scenic and mostly downhill ride of 15 miles of tunnels and trestles. Silverwood Theme Park was fun for the kids. We also went to Emerald Creek to dig for garnets. It took over an hour to get there but our 6-year old grandson had a great time. You dig pails of dirt, sift the dirt, then wash the stones in troughs of running water. It is run by the Park Service. We did find 2 ounces of garnets. Mostly we just enjoyed being by the lake. We went boating, tubing, swimming and fishing. We sat on the patio at night, played cards and listened to the water lap on the shore. Can you believe it, hardly any bugs to bother us?

The big grill on the patio was great for steaks and hot dogs. We did have pretty good hamburgers out one night at Carlin Bay Resort. We boated to Arrow Point Resort intending to eat there one night only to be informed they were closed for a private party. Call first.

Since our 24-foot boat was too big to dock overnight at Driftwood Lodge, we had a slip at Carlin Bay Resort, only 8 minutes from the house. It was only a mild inconvenience and all in all worked out pretty well.

We just had a great time on our vacation and would recommend this house to friends and relatives. Tammye & Don thought of everything to make our stay so wonderful. Hope to go back soon.

Better than advertized.

Review Submitted: August 9, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We are experienced property renters in both the US and abroad.

The Driftwood was very enjoyable for the following reasons:

The property looked better in real life that the photos. -Not always the case everywhere you go these days…

Three of the four rooms are suites with their own bathrooms plus there is a bonus bathroom. No waiting!

The owner's are a delight to work with. Everything was as they said. The house was well supplied with many things that a guest might forget. They gave us a great orientation.

Our group of 8 had plenty of room, there are many areas of the house-both inside or out- to congregate in or to find solitude. -This is not apparent on the web site photos.

The lake is huge and you can never run out of places to go and things to do.

The house has a great dock for swimming, fishing, snorkeling or boating.

Coming from the Midwest it was great to do some boating on bigger water compared to the smaller lakes that we have here. While very large, the lake is still great for tubing and water skiing.

My teenagers loved it.

I would recommend this destination for a family vacation\reunion, a fishing trip or a romantic getaway. The home was fresh, modern, well furnished and impeccably maintained. We had no problems with anything.

Family Vacation

Papa Fox Puyallup, Wa
Review Submitted: August 8, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Took the family to Driftwood Lodge and we had a great time. We brought two jet skis with us.They provided 4 whips to tie them up at night, have to use anchors during the day. Gas and boat launch are close by.The water was warm and kid friendly for our 7, 8 and 9 year old grandkids (bring water shoes), the decks were fantastic, the house was clean and was supplied with everything we needed, just bring food and suntan lotion.
I would recommend this house to anyone. Very nice inside and out.
