This was a cute nicely decorated small quiet cottage on an attractive leafy street located few blocks from the core downtown area in Coeur D’Alene.
It was well provisioned for the small comforts of life, and the bikes were great to get out on the trail and see the town.
We are holding back of fifth star because of the smell of dogs in the cottage. I know that millennials have to travel with their animals these days, but if I was the owner or manager I would skip the “pet friendly” stuff. Somebody’s dogs are eventually going to lie all over the furniture and on the bed. I love dogs but I’m sorry, I can live without the smell of dog(s) and the constant hum of the two air deodorizer units that don’t quite cut it!
The queen bed was OK but it’s a foam mattress and it has a slight slope toward the middle. And perhaps I’m spoiled with a different standard on Airbnb, but it’s nice to have a little bit of ground coffee or beans/tea on hand to put in the supplied “Mr. Coffee” coffee machine. Some cleaning services will wipe out every last little leftover item left behind, as was the case here. Nary a stick of butter or a cup of cooking oil or salad dressing. If you plan to do any cooking, count on buying absolutely everything except salt, pepper and sugar. We left a half a bottle of red wine behind for the next patrons. Hopefully it’s survives to carry it forward.
Otherwise, a great stay in a cozy quiet unit that was otherwise well-equipped.
Thanks!
