Situated on "one of the five most beautiful lakes in the world," according to National Geographic, Coeur d'Alene is the very picture of a thriving lakeside community. It is the gateway to 135 miles of shoreline and all the boating, fishing, waterskiing, and swimming that go with it. The resort itself features an indoor pool, seasonal outdoor volleyball court, and a marina with a limited number of rental slips available (seasonal). Coeur d'Alene captures the essence of the northwestern United States.
