Summary:

Two Private Cottages, One Shared Backyard—Perfect for Groups Who Want Space & Connection



Your private gateway to downtown Coeur d'Alene starts here: two fully independent side-by-side cottages with zero shared walls, each with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance. Sleep 8 guests across 3 bedrooms while maintaining the independence every group craves. Blocks from restaurants, under 15 minutes' walk to City Beach, and a shared fire pit where both families naturally gather each evening. This is group travel solved.



The Space:

This is a rare find: two charming, fully private side-by-side cottages on E Front Avenue, each with its own dedicated entrance, no shared walls, and completely self-contained living. Available together as a single booking, they're perfect for two families, multigenerational groups, or friend groups who want to stay close while maintaining independence.



SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS & CAPACITY



Cottage 1: King bedroom upstairs + Queen bedroom on main floor = sleeps 4

Cottage 2: King bedroom + Sofa sleeper in living room = sleeps 4

Total: 8 guests across 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 4 beds



Important note: The upstairs king room in Cottage 1 does not have air conditioning. Heating and air conditioning are available in other rooms and throughout the main living areas. Plan bedroom assignments accordingly if heat sensitivity is a concern for your group.



KITCHENS & LIVING AREAS



Both cottages are fully equipped so you can cook, dine, and settle in with everything you need:

• Complete kitchens with oven, stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and microwave

• Coffee makers in each cottage—because morning coffee is non-negotiable

• Cooking basics, dishes, silverware, and wine glasses all provided

• Smart TVs in both living rooms—gather together or split into separate spaces as you prefer

• Extra pillows and blankets for comfort

• Heating, air conditioning (in main areas and select bedrooms), and WiFi throughout

• Washer and dryer in each unit—do laundry on your own schedule



No hunting for missing equipment. No sharing appliances between units. Every detail is thought through so you can relax immediately upon arrival.



OUTDOOR LIVING — Your Shared Gathering Space



The magic happens in the beautifully maintained common backyard between the two cottages. This is where both groups naturally gather:

• Gas BBQ for outdoor cooking and grilling

• Fire pit for evening gatherings under the stars—where stories get told and memories stick

• Outdoor furniture and patio space

• A calm, inviting shared area that becomes the center of your stay



PARKING & PRACTICALITIES



• One private parking space per cottage

• Additional free street parking available

• Private entrance to each unit—come and go as you please, no shared foyer or hallways
