Swede Bay Sanctuary

Tucked into the serene shores of Swede Bay on Lake Coeur d’Alene, this unique retreat spans a vast landscape featuring multiple living spaces, a standalone bar, and a summer camp-style lodge. A network of retaining walls, stone steps, and flagstone patios seamlessly connects the buildings, blending effortlessly with the natural surroundings. The design leads guests from elevated lodgings down to a private pickleball court and a sprawling beach that stretches to a floating home on the lake. Carefully chosen stone mirrors the architecture, creating a cohesive transition between the built environment and untouched nature, making this lakeside getaway a true sanctuary.
