While it may sound like a French village, Coeur d'Alene (pronounced core-da-lane) is decidedly all-American. Located in northern Idaho, this lakefront resort offers five-star amenities in a beautifully rugged setting. Visitors enjoy everything from pristine golf courses and professional quality tennis courts to hiking on pine-forested trails and biking through natural preserves. The sparkling Coeur d'Alene Lake is the center of most of the action. Sunbathe on the beach, water ski, kayak or tour the area by sea plane. At night, dine in fine restaurants and see top-rated shows. With upscale attractions in an unspoiled setting, Coeur d'Alene offers visitors the best of both worlds.

Seven Stars Alpaca Ranch was amazing! Our guide, Sonia, was so nice and explained everything as we went around the ranch. You can tell she cares a lot about her animals and is willing to answer any and all questions about them. She offers to take your picture with the animals, and you can pet them. The little gift shop is amazing too, with items even made from the fur of the alpacas on the ranch! This is an excursion you won't regret!

We were going to rent the bike at the Hiawatha trail but they were having issues on their website and the website shows sold out ... We found this place thru Yelp... and glad we did. I spoke with Matt over the phone and he was very patience enough to explain things to me about the rentals and what comes with the rental. We rented 3 adult bikes and 2 kids bike. It came with the helmet and a 4 bike rack. (I wish they would give us the lights too since Hiawatha’s trail tunnels are dark) Nevertheless.... the start of the rental process and return process was very quick. They allow us to clean up the bikes on their parking lot and using their hose... (that was very cool!) Very nice people, Matt and Asher ... Thank you for all of your assistance ????????????????????????

Anytime I have an out of town guest, Figpickles is a definite stop when we head to downtown CDA. They have a large variety of toys, games, and puzzles, many of which you won't find anywhere else. The store employees are knowledgeable about the different games and products throughout the store. it's a fun place to browse (and be nostalgic as there are many toys and games that reflect toys of the past) and shop.
