Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Five days in Coeur d'Alene is just what we needed as summer comes to an end.  We stayed at the Coeur d'Alene Golf Resort, which turned out to be absolutely breath taking.  Somehow we ended up with a room facing the lake with living room and balcony.  Waking up and opening the blinds to this was dreamy!!!! (specially with a touch of a button👏😊)

And first..............Coffee!

                         Your shuttle to the Coeur d'Alene Golf Course

Coeur d'Alene Golf Course

The Coeur d'Alene Golf course was beautiful.  Hitting balls into the water to warm up was unusual but fun.  The 14th tee, which is out on the lake (floating green), was super cool.  You hit the ball onto the green and then you take a boat out to putt and back.  Pretty neat!!!

Hiking around Tubbs Hills was perfect! Not long or strenuous, just right, with a view of the lake at all times.  The fresh air was wonderful. Needless to say I did it three days in row, beats being inside working out, which I love.

The views while hiking

The downtown was small and quaint, with restaurants, boutiques and little shops lining both sides of the street.  Very nice for evening strolls

(Side note.  When I was little, I would always ask for a quarter for a gum ball, it was my thing😬 according to Todd, nothings change.  My mother, will get a kick out of this lol!)

Some of the places we ate at that we thought were wonderful and if you're in the area we recommend checking out.  Beverly's on the 7th floor at the Coeur d'Alene Resort.  Fine dining and very very good. Fire Artisan Pizza and Crafted Tap House+Kitchen were both good with and easy vibe.  Both great places to chill, enjoy and hang out.

Cedars on the Lake.  Floating restaurant, a little bit of a different vibe, but it was really good!!! Reminded me of a log house in the woods, but this is ON the lake.  We heard you can't go to Coeur d'Alene and not eat here, so we did!  It did not disappoint. Reservations are a good idea, it gets pretty packed.

Definitely coming back in the summer.  So much to do on the lake!  That and Todd has a few more golf courses in the area that he would love to play at.

Until Next time Coeur d'Alene
