Who are the faces of CDAstay?
CDAstay is owner-operated, and that's by design. Hannah curates every property personally, from the design down to the coffee in the cabinet, and makes sure each house is fully stocked and ready before guests arrive. Robert is the boots on the ground — handling hot tub and pool maintenance, property improvements, landscaping, and anything guests need during their stay. Between the two of them, you're getting a real team that knows every property inside and out, not a call center.
Are parties or events allowed?
Because I operate my homes in quiet, residential neighborhoods and to stay compliant with my professional insurance, I do not allow formal events or 'parties' (such as weddings, organized receptions, or ticketed events).
However, I want you to enjoy your stay to the fullest! If you are a group of friends or family getting together to celebrate a birthday, a reunion, or just a weekend away, you are more than welcome. My only ask is that you keep the 'human touch' in mind—be respectful of the neighbors regarding noise levels, especially late at night, and treat the home as if it were your own.
Why should I book directly through your website instead of Airbnb or VRBO?
When you book here, you are booking directly with me—Hannah! By cutting out the big corporate platforms, you avoid their extra service fees, which usually saves you 10-15% on your total stay. Plus, you get a direct line to a local owner who knows the properties inside and out. It’s the best way to get the best price and the most personalized service.
Are the hot tubs and pools open year-round?
The hot tubs are open and ready for a soak every single day of the year! There is nothing quite like watching the Idaho snow fall from the warmth of the tub. My two heated pools are seasonal and generally open from beginning of April through end of October, depending on the Coeur d'Alene weather. If you are booking a shoulder-season stay and the pool is a 'must-have,' just reach out to me and I can give you a better idea of the opening/closing dates for that year!
What are you check-in and check-out times?
To ensure my cleaning team has enough time to make the house perfect for your arrival, our standard check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM.
Because I live and work locally, I always try to be as flexible as possible! If the home is ready early or there isn't a back-to-back booking, I am happy to accommodate early arrivals or late departures at no extra cost. However, if you need a guaranteed early check-in or late check-out, a small fee may apply to coordinate the cleaning schedule. Please reach out to me directly to check availability!
Are the kitchens fully stocked?
Yes, and I take immense pride in this! One of the most common pieces of feedback I receive from my guests is how much they love my kitchens. As a local mom who loves hosting, I make sure my kitchens are stocked with more than just the basics—I want you to feel like you’re cooking in your own home.
I try to anticipate everything you might need, from quality cookware to those thoughtful extra touches. If there is a specific small appliance or tool you need for a special meal and you don’t see it listed, please just ask! Since I live right here in the Coeur d'Alene area, I can usually source it and have it ready in the kitchen by the time you arrive.
How do you handle pool and hot tub maintenance?
Cleanliness and safety are my top priorities, especially when it comes to the water! I employ a certified pool and hot tub technician who personally services the water chemistry and filtration systems between every single guest stay.
Because I want you to have a crystal-clear, worry-free experience, my technician also stops by every other day for stays lasting longer than two days. These visits are quick and unobtrusive, and you do not need to be present for them. I have carefully arranged my properties so that my technicians have exterior access to the pool and spa areas, meaning they never have to enter the house. You can simply relax and enjoy your privacy while we ensure everything is perfect behind the scenes!
How do I get into the property?
For your convenience and security, all of my homes are equipped with electronic keyless locks. No need to worry about picking up keys or keeping track of them during your stay!
I will send you a unique, guest-specific door code a few days prior to your check-in date. This code will be active for the duration of your stay, ensuring you have easy and secure access from the moment you arrive.
Do you allow pets?
As a dog lover who travels everywhere with my two terriers, Lola and Luna, I know that a vacation isn’t complete without the whole family! I am proud to offer pet-friendly accommodations at all of my properties, most of which include fenced yards for your pups to enjoy.
To keep our homes sparkling clean for every guest, a pet fee (determined by the property size and set by my cleaning team) will be applied to your stay. Please note that due to insurance requirements, certain breed restrictions do apply. You can find specific details and fee amounts in the house rules or property description for each listing.
