Coeur d’Alene feels like a lively lakeside resort town—think scenic downtown, year-round outdoor options (boating, hiking, biking, golf), a busy restaurant/brewery scene and regular events—perfect for multi-week contracts that still feel interesting and active.
You’re also a short drive from Spokane for big‑city amenities and an international airport, and nearby Post Falls adds extra shopping, dining and river access, so you won’t be stuck with nothing to do.
