Coeur d'Alene Vacation Rentals

Locally Owned and Managed Vacation Homes You Can Trust

Premier service. Seamless stays. Forever Memories.


Unwind began with a simple belief that vacation stays should feel intentional; grounded in the kind of care that is memorable. Michele and Edward Johnson built that belief here in Coeur d’Alene, where the exquisite views cause you to exhale while neighbors still wave at each other from the porch.

Edward grew up in the Coeur d’Alene area and Michele was raised just over the border in Montana. They share a deep love for the region’s small-town charm, natural beauty, and close-knit community. These values shape their approach to hospitality and guide their commitment to serving local homeowners and guests with care. Together, they shape Casago Unwind around trust, intention, and the joy of helping people feel at home.

The Johnsons not only travel, primarily staying at vacation homes, but also own a vacation rental property on the Oregon coast. This connection strengthens their understanding of what thoughtful management looks like from every perspective – homeowner, guest, and partner.

Casago Unwind operates with local heart and national support by taking a hands-on approach backed by Casago’s vast network. Every home is cared for with precision, personal attention, and an understanding that true hospitality doesn’t need to announce itself. It simply invites you to breathe, rest, and truly unwind.

Welcome to Coeur d'Alene


In northern Idaho, the mountains rise from deep forests and reach the edge of a wide blue lake. Coeur d’Alene rests at the center of this landscape, a town that feels shaped by water and light. The scent of pine lingers through the streets. Morning sunlight drifts across the lake and catches on the windows of cafés where locals start their day.

Summer hums with motion. Kayaks slip across the water. Cyclists follow forested paths that climb toward high overlooks. Families spread picnic blankets in leafy city parks while boats drift offshore. The lake becomes a gathering place, and the days stretch long beneath the evening glow. As twilight deepens, downtown comes alive with music spilling from patios, laughter carrying along Sherman Avenue, and the warm light of craft cocktail bars where night lingers as easily as the summer air.

 

When the air cools, the trees flare with color. Autumn brings quiet mornings and crisp hikes. Winter replaces water with snow, and the hills turn into playgrounds for skiers and snowboarders. Schweitzer, Silver Mountain, and Lookout Pass all sit within an easy drive, each offering unique views of the northern peaks. As night falls, Sherman Avenue glows with Christmas lights. Take an evening stroll to enjoy the twinkling displays throughout town and the quiet magic of the holiday season. Then settle into a cozy igloo overlooking the lake and let the warmth of the moment linger with your favorite nightcap.

 

Downtown Coeur d’Alene stays lively through every season. You can wander from lakefront to gallery to restaurant without losing sight of the water. With Spokane less than an hour away, Coeur d’Alene feels set apart, a place that holds its own special rhythm.

Come unwind by the lake. Stay for the sense of calm that settles in and refuses to hurry away.
