Nestled in the hills of Coeur d’Alene, ID, Trail House is a modern cabin designed as a dream home for a family seeking a simpler, more connected lifestyle.
Built during the pandemic on a steep, challenging slope, Trail House is a testament to intentional living, where every design detail adapts and enhances the beauty of its setting. Inspired by nature, its design balances warmth, simplicity, and modern elegance, creating a tranquil everyday retreat.

Our master plan was to move back to Idaho after the kids graduated. We wanted a more simple life in a smaller town with some work/play space and hundreds of acres of outdoor recreation at our fingertips. We had been looking for land for a couple years with no luck. Then COVID hit and a whole series of crazy events happened, including stumbling on this lot. Once we saw it in person we knew it was what we were waiting for! Our architect will tell you our building site has its challenges, but that’s never scared any of us away.
