North Idaho: Resort Style
(from the print edition, May 2012)
Coeur d’Alene is the Northwest’s celebrated summer resort region. A five hour drive from Seattle (or a short drive from the Spokane International Airport), this famous “Lake City” is a perennial favorite. At the center of town, on the lake’s north shore, stands the newly remodeled Coeur d’Alene Resort with its famous golf course and iconic floating green.
 After a short, scenic drive from the center of town, you’ll discover the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort, with its lush natural setting, contemporary Northwest design, and authentic cultural feel.A recent expansion of this property by Seattle-based Mithun includes a luxury hotel, fine dining, spa and a transparent “bridge” connecting guests to the nearby wetlands and adjacent Circling Raven golf course.
 With dozens of beautiful alpine lakes and hundreds of miles of navigable waters, North Idaho is a boater’s paradise. Custom yacht aficionados: behold “Blue Star” – a stunning Van Dam ’38 foot cruiser. She’s a beauty – dressed in satin-varnished mahogany, semi-gloss eggshell and midnight blue – and currently available for sale in Coeur d’Alene (bluestarcda.com). |
