This gorgeous lake house was designed by Mittmann Architect together with Lexi Westergard Design on the pristine shores of Coeur D’Alene Lake in Idaho. This second home was designed as the ultimate family retreat—a place to create countless memories. With its stunning lakeside backdrop, the home invites family gatherings and moments of togetherness, serving as a perfect escape from everyday life.
From the early stages of the build to the final, Lexi and her team played a pivotal role in bringing this vision to life. The design balances luxurious comfort with practical living, ensuring the home is not only visually stunning but also ideally suited for a family vacation. Every space is thoughtfully curated with layers of texture, rich natural materials, and a palette inspired by the home’s serene surroundings.

The furnishings were selected with both family function and aesthetics in mind, fostering an environment where kids can run freely, guests feel at ease, and the family can enjoy years of lakefront living. With its blend of modern comfort and timeless charm, this lake house is more than just a vacation home—it’s a place to gather, unwind, and make lasting memories.
What We Love: This beautiful house overlooking Coeur D’Alene Lake offers serene views, refined interiors, and a seamless connection to nature. Every space is thoughtfully designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape while providing comfort, warmth, and understated elegance. We especially love how the unassuming front facade contrasts with a dramatic rear elevation that unfolds toward the lake. The covered porch offers a comfortable oasis to entertain family and friends while soaking in tranquil views of the water.
