Coeur d’Alene is a quintessential lake town located not far from the Washington-Idaho border. It is easily accessed via Interstate 90, or you can fly into Spokane, Washington. The area is beautifully picturesque with Lake Coeur D’Alene dominating the scenery. The downtown area is very walkable with cute shops and quaint sidewalk cafes. The city has lovely parks nestled alongside the lake. There are plenty of options for day trips with numerous small towns less than a one-hour drive from Coeur D’Alene.
Pro Tip: There is plenty of public parking in Coeur D’Alene, but parking enforcement is very strict. Make sure when you park you promptly pay the parking fees.
