Why should I book directly through your website instead of Airbnb or VRBO?

Booking direct means booking directly with Hannah, the owner, instead of through a big corporate platform. Cutting out those platforms' service fees typically saves 10-15% on the total stay, and guests get a direct line to a local owner who knows the properties inside and out.

What are your check-in and check-out times?

Standard check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM, which gives the cleaning team enough time to prepare the home. Because Hannah lives and works locally, early arrivals or late departures can often be accommodated at no extra cost when the schedule allows; a guaranteed early check-in or late check-out may carry a small fee.

Are parties or events allowed?

Formal events such as weddings, organized receptions, or ticketed parties are not permitted, since the homes sit in quiet residential neighborhoods and must comply with professional insurance requirements. Casual group get-togethers like birthdays, reunions, or weekends away are welcome as long as guests are respectful of neighbors and noise levels.

Are the hot tubs and pools open year-round?

Hot tubs are open for use every day of the year, including winter. The heated pools are seasonal, generally operating from the beginning of April through the end of October depending on Coeur d'Alene weather.

Are the kitchens fully stocked?

Yes. Each kitchen is stocked well beyond the basics, with quality cookware and thoughtful extras so guests can cook as if at home. If a specific small appliance or tool is needed and isn't already provided, guests can ask and Hannah will typically source it locally before arrival.

How do I get into the property?

All CDAstay homes use electronic keyless locks. A unique, guest-specific door code is sent a few days before check-in and stays active for the full length of the stay, so there's no key pickup required.

How do you handle pool and hot tub maintenance?

A certified pool and hot tub technician services water chemistry and filtration between every guest stay, with additional visits every other day for stays longer than two days. Pool and spa areas have exterior access, so the technician never needs to enter the house and guests don't need to be present.

Pet-friendly accommodations are offered at all properties, and most include a fenced yard. A pet fee applies, set by property size, and certain breed restrictions apply due to insurance requirements; details are listed in each property's house rules.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations made at least 14 days before arrival receive a full refund. Cancellations within 14 days of arrival receive a full refund of the cleaning fee plus a 50% refund of the nightly rate.

Autumn & Winter

Autumn & Early Winter Magic

Vibrant foliage, warm fireplaces, and crisp mountain air

As the autumn leaves turn vibrant gold and crimson along local roads and trails, North Idaho shifts to a peaceful, slower pace. Gather around a crackling fire pit or sink into one of our warm private hot tubs after a crisp afternoon hike. From scenic fall drives to the first dusting of early winter snow, our homes—including Midtown Modern, The Lake CDA Retreat, and Premium Golf Retreat—are fully stocked and perfectly prepared to be your comfortable home base.

Winter Recreation

Winter Snow and Where To Go

Deep snow, backyard fire pits, and cozy fireside recovery

When winter arrives, North Idaho transforms into an active playground for snow sports. Schweitzer Mountain, Silver Mountain, and Mt. Spokane are all within easy driving distance, offering exceptional skiing, snowboarding, and snowtubing. Spend your day carving down freshly groomed runs or snowshoeing through quiet pine forests. After a day out in the snow, there is nothing better than returning to your CDAstay home to roast s'mores around the fire pit. Warm up by the hearth, defrost in one of our private, professionally maintained hot tubs—like the Viking Spa at Walnut or the Wellis Spa at Blaze—and sink into our comfortable beds for a restorative night of sleep.

Spring Thaw

Early Spring & Crisp Lake Trails

Quiet shoulder season, late-season skiing, and early forest hikes

March and April bring a beautiful transition to North Idaho. In early spring, you can catch the best of both worlds: sunny spring skiing on the mountain peaks and thawing, quiet hiking trails down in the valley. Walk the peaceful loop at Tubbs Hill to spot early wildflowers, or explore local cafés and boutiques in Downtown Coeur d'Alene without the summer crowds. Since this is our quietest shoulder season, it is the perfect time for a budget-friendly getaway. After a day of crisp spring air, head back to your CDAstay home to relax in a hot tub, warm up by the fireplace, and sleep deeply on our comfortable DreamCloud beds.
