Ellen's Escape | Rockford Bay | Private Beach/Dock | No-Wake | Family & Pets CDA
Welcome to Ellen’s Escape!
Ellen’s Escape is your private lakefront retreat on peaceful Rockford Bay, Coeur d’Alene.
This home sleeps up to 16 guests + 2 dogs and features its own sandy private beach and deep-water dock in a true no-wake zone — perfect for swimming, boating, jet skiing, paddleboarding, and kayaking right from the property.
The open floor plan offers four bedrooms (king and queen beds with plush pillow tops), two bathrooms, and spacious game room featuring a vintage pool table plus life-size outdoor-style games like giant Connect Four and giant checkers for family fun.. Every bedroom includes chargers and dressers for your convenience.
*Fully Equipped Kitchen
Two refrigerators, coffee maker, blender, Instant Pot, ice cream maker, wine openers, toaster, griddle, and full bar setup with beer glasses, shot glasses, wine glasses, whiskey glasses, and margarita glasses.
If there's anything specific you need, just reach out - we may already have it! Enjoy meals at the breakfast bar, dining table, or outside on the spacious decks with stunning lake views.
*Outdoor Living
• Private beach & dock
• Provided paddleboards & kayaks
• Gas grills
• Deck for lounging and dining
*Prime Location
• 2-minute stroll to Shooters restaurant & bar
• Minutes from Rockford Bay Marina
• 25 minutes to downtown Coeur d’Alene
• 50 minutes to Silverwood Theme Park
• About 1 hour to Silver Mountain Ski Resort
*Parking
Parking for 4–6 vehicles. Carport fits 1–2 cars with additional space nearby. Please keep all vehicles within the designated area and avoid blocking neighbors.
*Quiet Hours and Peaceful Enjoyment
To insure everyone (including our neighbors) can enjoy a restful stay, we kindly ask that noise levels remain low between 10 PM and 7 AM.
We have a noise monitor in place that helps us maintain the peaceful no-wake neighborhood. It simply blinks a light if noise exceeds the limit for 10 minutes during quiet hours. If the excessive noise continues, you’ll receive a friendly text, followed by a call if needed – just a gentle reminder so we can all keep enjoying the lake.
We completely understand large families and kids having fun! This policy is aimed at excessive noise, loud parties, or late-night gatherings that could disturb neighbors. One-time normal family sounds are never the issue.
** However, if the warnings are repeatedly ignored and the noise level has not reduced for over 30 minutes, we will have no choice but to enforce our policy: this may result in forfeiture of your security deposit and eviction **
Family-owned since 1983 and pet-friendly, Ellen’s Escape is ready for your unforgettable Coeur d’Alene lake vacation!

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We had a wonderful stay at Ellen’s Escape for our annual family getaway! The house was spacious, clean, and very well organized, with plenty of room for everyone to gather, dine, and relax. The property was well maintained and in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood.
The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked, making meal preparation easy, and we loved the assortment of games and activities available for rainy days. The welcome basket was a thoughtful touch that made us feel right at home.
The hosts were friendly and communicated clearly throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were seamless. We highly recommend Ellen’s Escape and would happily stay there again!

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Our family had such an enjoyable stay at Ellen's Escape! There was so much for all of us to do and see. We had fun with the water toys and jumping off the dock. The birds and deer were exciting for the kiddos as well as our photographers. That beautiful night sky view from the dock and the deck was incredible! We were so comfortable with all the spaces to reconnect with each other. Kelly and Joe were quick to respond when we wanted to extend our stay. 10 out of 10!

Our group enjoyed a wonderful 5 days over Labor Day weekend. The water was excellent for swimming and the area was quiet. We definitely hope to be able to return next year.
