Andrew and Lindsay's property was great! Fabulous location and close to everything! We walked to Capone's for dinner in 5 minutes, and I biked to Safeway for ice cream and back in 6 minutes! We rode bikes to City Park for the fireworks and got home in 10 minutes, avoiding all the traffic!
The house and guest house were great and had everything our family needed, including space for all 11 adults. Eating outside on the patio under the grapes was awesome. The kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner two nights. Beds were comfy and the main house was spacious. Check in and check out were super easy.
Loved our stay and would stay here again!

Family Reunion in July
Such a cute house in a great location. Owners are amazingly responsive. We had a coffee pot that didn't work and they made several trips to bring us one that worked. Gave us the opportunity to walk to a coffee shop around the corner that we really enjoyed. The outside pictures are older, and the vegetation has really grown up. The yard could therefore use a little TLC/Trimming. You can't walk into the house without brushing the bushes. It would have also been nice to have the outside furniture cleaned so we could use it. The house was pretty clean overall but could use a deep clean (crevices of couch etc.) And, my fault for not taking note, but even though it sleeps 15, there's really not a place all 15 can gather together. I would take note (part of the charm of this place) that the main house is difficult to shower in for elderly as it requires stepping into and old fashioned tub. We had such a great weekend! Thank you!

Perfect spot for our group
We came in for Ironman and Andrew's house was perfect for our group. Quiet neighborhood, some great restaurants/coffee right around the corner, less than 10 minute walk to downtown. Andrew was very responsive and helpful. Would absolutely stay here next time we come to CDA.

Property was not well maintained. Very uncomfortable beds/bedding. The layout of the property was weird. The Table is garbage and trying to eat on it was horrible because it was so uneven. The foundation of the house was iffy and The TV was basically a computer screen. The picnic table outside is in need of major repairs and the BBQ barely worked. For the money we paid, I am surprised this house was in the condition it was. The best part of the property was that it was in walking distance of shops and the water but overall Very disappointed. I don’t typically leave unhappy reviews, but if we had paid much less, I would have expected what was there - but since this was the price that it was, my expectations were higher.

This house is located conveniently to downtown CDA, and we took advantage of that for morning walks and shopping. As a baby boomer, the home reminded me of visits to my grandparents when I was little. The older generation oohed and aahed over the original architectural features of this great vintage house. It served us well for our family gathering.

This home is located walking or bike distance to everything. The owners provide a few bikes so that was fun for our almost 13 year olds. There are several rooms and beds so lots of sleeping space. It’s an old historic home so upstairs is quite hot and one of the bedroom AC units wasn’t working but there are fans to use if you need to.While the family room isn’t really furnished for gathering together comfortably there is a nice back deck and a playroom downstairs in the basement that looked comfy (we did not use it). The cottage put back was fun for the kids to feel independent. The kitchen is cute but not really set up for major cooking - but it’s fine for basic cooking. The cabinets and drawers are in need of replacing so seem a bit shaky. The upstairs bathroom was lovely with a deep claw foot tup with skylight over it - so nice for sunny morning baths! The owners are very responsive and ready to address everything you need!

Property was in a great location. We used it as a base for visiting silverwood. Not too far of a drive and walking distance to the lake. Big enough for two families.

The property sufficiently met our needs and the proximity to the Lake, downtown area and restaurants was a bonus. As out-of-staters we wore face masks and surprised that restaurant help was not required to do the same.

Owner rented the cottage
We showed up after a 5 hour drive to find some lady smoking weed in the cottage. I contacted the owner because the cottage was the main reason we rented the property. Our stay was May 31st through June 5th and he stated he didn't really think of it as a June reservation since it started in May. He offerred to refund $200 and would attempt to re-rent it. We stayed at a hotel.

We stayed here for our son's wedding
This is review is long overdue but we loved this property. We were 3 generations and 2 families in this house. We stayed for 10 days for our son's wedding. Great neighborhood. Fun house. Great owners. Loved it. We hope to return.

Roomy, Comfortable & Casual
Perfect property for our family reunion, cottage offers a nice space for a couple, or even a couple with small children. The floors are a little uneven for older folks, but everything was in excellent order: clean & well-furnished.
Thanks to the management for accommodating our special request!

We enjoyed our stay at your rental for our daughter's wedding!!
The house suited our purposes for the 10 days we were there, but the most important thing I would like to express is the fact that the house is not senior or handicap accessible in any way. I feel that you should express this fact on your website or you should put hand rails at the front door and down the steps in the back going out to the guest house. If someone was in a wheelchair or walker, they would have a very difficult time getting in the house. Maybe add some grab bars in the bathrooms; especially the main bath on the main floor. That shower was dangerous for seniors to climb in and out of. Maybe change the shower curtain regularly as it had mold on it because it lays in the water. We bleached it out. Secondly, the tv/internet service was difficult to maneuver around. So sorry we had to call numerous times about that. It would be nice if you would have step by step instructions typed up and laminated and have by each tv to prevent this from happening and adding limited cable would be great for guests. The refrigerator leaked so we kept a towel laying on the floor. Might have something to do with the ice, not sure. Maybe, repair and connect the ice maker. The window in the upstairs master bedroom is broken and comes completely out of its hinges. Get rid of throw rugs as they are tripping hazards for seniors. These are little things, but we bought a light bulb for the fridge, we bought a shower mat for the main bath on main floor and a sponge for the kitchen. There were plenty of towels throughout the house, but more kitchen towels would be nice. One of the sleeper beds downstairs was broken. Very important, there was a breach in the back fence behind the guest house. I put something in front of it, but our dog got out one day. Also, the fence needs repaired by and around the deck. A small dog could get out of one of those areas. The light above the bed in the guest house was not working. So sorry to go on and out, but I feel that it would be important to take care of these issues for future guests. We truly appreciate your hospitality and kindness during our stay and wish you continued success with your rental. Sincerely, Elisa K.

The house was great - the only reason it’s not a five is the WiFi didn’t work
The house is lovely. It wasn’t a fiive only because the WiFi didn’t work and the little house and one of the upstairs rooms had an unpleasant. odor. We would rent again!

Needs some TLC
Although the house did what it needed to do. We had 9 adults and 5 kids. The location was good and there were plenty beds for all to sleep. It did lack in many areas. There was ants in the kitchen, the garbage hadn’t been taken out when we got there so we had to get creative to handle that. No cable tv, the cooking utensils were lacking. No ice machine, the fridge in the main house leaked water, had to keep a towel to soak up the water. We ran out of toilet paper and paper towels.

Room for Everyone!
I spent a week in Coeur d'Alene with my 3 children, their spouses, and their children at the Blue House--which is really 2 Blue Houses. This was a nostalgia trip for all of us as we spent part of every summer swimming in Lake Coeur d' Alene when they were growing up. There was room in these 2 houses for all. The location is close to downtown and in a very nice neighborhood with restaurants, a Safeway, and thrift stores. We got needed baby toys and coolers from a thrift store for our day on a rented pontoon boat. We had some problems with the internet, but Andrew, the host was quick to fix them. We had a great time.

Eclectic Dirty House
Pros: plenty of space, Wii to play, old games, Netflix and cable, tons of beds, close enough if you wanted to walk downtown, about .5 mile, a couple of bikes you can borrow.
Cons: We had to wash sheets on one of the beds because it was obviously not washed in a while. The house itself really needs some deep cleaning and TLC. We had major allergy issues here. This neighborhood is in the process of being gentrified, but not quite there. We had to make sure trash was taken out (there is a list of upkeep chores the renters have to perform posted in kitchen), the back half house was overflowing with trash though. And on top of that, RENTER pays a typical cleaning fee.

Great Customer service!
Andrew and his family were so accommodating with our needs. He was upfront and honest with letting us know why he couldn't at first approve our reservation. And in the end he kept us in mind when his initial renter fell through. He communicated in a timely manner and his posting of the the accommodations, as well as the area, were spot on.

My favorite house!
The Bowman's home is so charming, eclectic, clean (especially the bathrooms &bedding), well-equiped, centrally located, spacious, quaint, perfect. We really enjoyed sitting out on the back porch catching up, in the breakfast nook or in the front yard. It was the spot for spending a long weekend
