Welcome to Coeur d'Alene's RED DOOR RETREAT! Live like a local, but with more comfort, space and privacy at the Red Door Retreat. A historic home built in 1915 but completely redone in 2021. It is in the heart of the highly desireable Midtown area at only 0.7mi to lakefront beaches and parks and a block from popular pubs, restaurants, grocery stores and shopping, so plan to park your car and walk to ride our bikes everywhere!
The RDR is aesthetic enough to make you want to stay in, but close enough to adventure to inspire you to get out!
