The captain, who was very congenial, explains the sites along the way and some history of the area and the lake. We learned a lot! Our cruise was probably less than half booked. There was plenty of food and everything tasted good. The staff on hand was friendly and competent. The dock is easy to find. Parking was ample, although paid. My spouse had a delicious huckleberry lemonade. I had an (overpriced) glass of wine. They did promise more than one dessert (I think?) and only had one. I felt sorry for anyone who didn't like chocolate cuz that's what it was. Surprisingly nice bathrooms for onboard a small boat. Lovely views. Very pleasant overall with nice music playing as well.

Thomas and Gina were incredibly kind, welcoming, and made sure we were set up with everything we needed for a perfect day on the lake. Omega helped so much with the jets !!! The pontoon was in amazing condition--clean, comfortable, and ran beautifully. You can tell they take pride in their fleet and care about their customers' experience. We felt totally taken care of, and the whole process was so stress-free, which is exactly what you want when you're trying to enjoy time with friends on the water. Love that it's veteran-owned and community-focused. Can't recommend CDA Pontoons enough--we'll definitely be back next time we're in Coeur d'Alene!

I wanted to provide an update to my stays. So far, I've stayed 3 times in 2026 and have another…read moretrip planned next month! April 2026- We had a Lakeview double with fireplace. Our stay was 4 nights and we booked several experiences for our time there. The first was a 90 minute massage. The massage room overlooks the marina and is beautiful. The massage itself was just okay. He asked the area he should concentrate and actually that area felt the least attended to. However, it was still very relaxing. My friend and I also booked "Hot winter night" at the infinity pool. This was so much fun as they have an adult hour and lucky for us the center above the pool was hosting prom. Yep- we got our dancing queen on. Might have annoyed the cute couples around us, but a girl's gotta dance! We also booked the "Floating in Frequency" on that Sunday morning. It was a small class and we drifted comfortably around the pool to the sound bowls. Highly recommend! Food is great at the resort and Beverly's "Lakeview Menu" is a great deal. Available until 5:30 each day, you get a 3 course meal for $29.99 with an optional wine pairing for $24.95. We had a window view and got to know the local geese (guarding their nests along the edge) June 2026- Had another friend in town and of course wanted her to experience this resort. We stayed 4 nights in Lake Tower and this time had a west facing view which had beautiful sunsets. The outdoor pool had opened, but we only visited once as it was windy and cold. Instead, we booked a "Girl's escape package" This included massages for both, lunch, and a pedicure. We had a great time. July 4th weekend 2026- This was a last minute book for us, and if we planned ahead would have gone for Lake Tower. However, we were pleasantly surprised at our view of the fireworks from the Park Tower Marina room (stay was 3 nights). This was probably the best for us since we had our dog Luna. It didn't have a balcony, so better for her not to hear the load booms. We spent a day at the infinity pool (rented a beach cabana) and ate dinner early. Then spent the time in the room waiting away for the crowds. The show was amazing and I've never been so close to fireworks with such an amazing view. We had an amazing time!

When I…read morereceived a confirmation two days before our reservation, it showed that we had a morning confirmation (which was incorrect). I called them right away to sort this out and was told that they input our reservation incorrectly and that they do not have any boats available for the afternoon. Due to it being a mistake on their end, they offered to give us a discount if we reserve a boat for another day or morning. Unfortunately, we were unable to make that work due to other reservations we had the next day and then were heading home the next day after that. All of us, four adults and 6 kids, were really looking forward to boating on Coeur d'Alene lake. The other family we were with had also made arrangements to change campgrounds so we could be close to the boat dock. Moving a RV for one night isn't ideal, especially now that we don't have a boat. CD Boat Rentals didn't help us find another boat and, of course, every other boat rental I called that day was already booked. This was a huge disappointment to our trip and I would not recommend this company to anyone.

When you get back you're responsible for filling up the gas which is pretty easy with the dock attendants. All around great service with helpful tips on different parts of the lake. Worthwhile to get out on the water and enjoy this beautiful area!
