đź“ŤCoeur D’ Alene, Idaho
Even though this time of year can feel lonely and sometimes hopeless. There’s always going to be some sort of magic around the holidays. I grew up in this resort town and although I can’t say it’s “little” anymore; I’m so thankful it just feels like home. No matter where we go; it will definitely always be that place for me.
If you aren’t from around here. We do appreciate people that appreciate this place too! Coeur D’ Alene lake is hidden away in the mountains just a quick 30 minute drive to the Spokane airport!
We have made this staycation a tradition that we never want to go without missing especially while having kids, obviously makes it so much fun.
This is the Santa Family Getaway Package for just $219! Scroll down to see the fun and dates available! 
When we checked in we went up to Beverlys on the 7th floor for appetizers & drinks! Ask for the orange sweet rolls and huckleberry lemon drop cocktail. 
The elves will walk you down to the ship!
For 30 years, The Resort has put together The Holiday Light Show/ Journey to the North Pole Cruise across Lake Coeur D’ Alene! Next to The Grinch, Rudolph and more; there are more than 250 displays featuring over 1.5 million lights next to Santa + Mrs. Clause!At the North Pole, Santa greets kids and calls them by name from the “good list.” Santa’s elves also had a special surprise fireworks show waiting for after! As we cruised away, we saw one of the world’s largest floating Christmas trees animated to holiday music!
retired back to our room after we had story time with the elves in the lobby! They came back up to deliver milk & cookies! 
With the Santa Family Package; you receive $30 dining credit to the hotel restaurant Dockside or room service! The next day we woke up it was Thanksgiving! So we ended up ordering room service and watched the parade on tv! highly recommend this “rose petal breakfast”
