Coeur d'Alene is such a cool place - what is your favorite little town?

[@jonbauer2977]

Leavenworth WA. Chelan, WA

[@aysae7125]

My favorite little town is called Allison Anderson! 🤣🤣

[@forwardtrace9553]

Red River, NM. It's a mountain valley town near some good skiing in Northern, NM. Haven't been in winter yet but it was a very neat place when I rolled through in the summer. They have ski lifts that start in the town and go up the mountain. Would love to ride those but they weren't in operation when I was through.

[@Rain3Silver]

A favorite of mine is Sedona, AZ. Red Rock Country just stunning.

[@SnowFamilyVacations]

Have you heard that the lake is reaching toxic levels? They don't recommend actually swimming in it right now. It has a bunch of mining equipment sunken in it thats releasing toxic chemicals. Sad

[@rebekahployhar2377]

The dislikes on the video must be Idahoans who don’t want the secret to get out that our state and city of CDA are beautiful ❤️

[@breevestal]

Busted😂

[@joshhartman5702]

Yeah we really just don't need a bunch of Californians coming up here ..

[@HayVolstar]

Pretty much. Stay away Californians. Lol

[@TheAnxietyAdvocate]

Rebekah Ployhar valid

[@wynterfir]

I live here and I dislike this place getting exposed like this because with Tourists there comes trash and trashy people.

[@BudgetBuddyZach]

Thank you for wearing a life jacket!!! Water safety is so important and often overlooked when boating! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@tonygoff2241]

I live in Coeur d Alene myself and sometimes I have to stop myself and remember how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place.

[@carahamelie]

I LOVE Coeur D'Alene! Such a beautiful lake and town. I remember jet skiing on that lake with my cousin and brother and it was probably one of the funnest vacation experiences I have ever had.

[@allisonanderson]

It's such a great spot. No wonder the celebs are flocking there!

[@wynterfir]

@@allisonanderson honestly as a local of Coeur d'alene I don't really like the celebrities because they think they're so important. They also bring paparazzi which isn't something we have since the only celebs around here are authors and illustrators.

[@katherinesalem]

Allison, I felt the same way growing up in Missoula! I couldn’t wait to get out and experience a big city, so I moved to SF in college. Now, I feel like there’s no place I’d rather be than back in MT, around family and in my beautiful hometown. Life’s complicated and I’m now married, stuck in CA (for the time being) and can’t wait to get back.

[@elleneastwood7435]

Boating is a great sponsor for you - loving these water vlogs. Would have liked a walk through the town as well.

[@jgheart3018]

Being near an ocean or lake or waterfall has always been my "happy place" thanks for reminding me in this video to do more of that.

[@jamyangtsering7686]

You are my favorite solo vlogger. And your Alaska video is mine favorite..i watched that video several times .😍

[@BensonGitau]

I really want to visit Idaho because of your videos. I went to Florida on July and I just finished editing that video which I’ll post on Tuesday. I love traveling. Thanks to your channel, I feel like I’m traveling every time you upload.

[@SamElle]

WOOOOW the water looks so so calming and tranquil. I feel like all the places I have visited in the past have been tourist destinations and haven't been to a "little town"

[@thompsonsmith7653]

great! ------------ what do you think on this adventure:VADER retired PADDLE boarding on LA RIVER (Narrated by Jones Earl James) - S2E1 The River Wild full"

[@wynterfir]

It really isn't a little town for Idaho. As a local we'll be nice to you when you say you're a tourist but we don't really want you here of you won't clean up after yourself or respect us. We're being overrun by Californians so our town is expanding and we aren't very happy about it. You'll get better treatment if you come up here in the winter when tourist season is peetering out because we don't have to deal with mobs of tourists. All of us here in Northern Idaho want it to stay as clean as possible you see.

[@drivewayauto9440]

@@wynterfir Definately the traffic has gotten.much worse in general with all these Californians selling there house and building mansions up here

[@kelan-erikareed8304]

I live vicariously through you right now. Please continue to post videos!

[@LaurenKiyomi]

My friend’s parents moved there maybe 6 years ago or so and I’d never heard of it back then and now I see people talking about it everywhere!!

[@drivewayauto9440]

Oh no! The secrets gotten out

[@clintgolub1751]

You should check it out; it’s really beautiful in all seasons

[@ericadean1247]

Great information. Boating is a great way to experience the outdoors!!

[@KarenSundays]

This is such a great gateway idea! The water and tall trees are beautiful and so scenic. I’m loving all the drone shots 👌🏽

[@arlenesee392]

I also live here in the Coeur d' Alene area, I moved here 26 years ago and still just love it. I go camping and hiking, it is a hikers paradise!! Winters are long but if you like snowmobiling, skiing or snow shoeing you would love it.

[@shuqahx3]

Wow it looks so nice! As someone from NYC I completely forget how beautiful other parts of the country can be lol

[@jonbauer2977]

We go there often. We live in Central WA. Love your videos. You (and Mr. Mckinnon) inspired my daughter to enroll in Colorado Mountains Professional Photography courses this year. Keep up the videos and great work.

[@laurenwilliams6314]

I am from the Tacoma, WA area and got married in Coeur d’Alene - we had a VERY small wedding and rented the penthouse/top floor suite of the resort overlooking the lake. Haven’t been back in the last 7 years - you are making me want to go back there and rent a boat!! 💗

[@10RRASK]

I just spent the weekend in CDA, such an awesome place. Definitely will be going back, next time with a boat and for a week!

[@Test11123]

I've never heard of this place, but it looks so beautiful!

[@drivewayauto9440]

It is trust me live here. Year round

[@queenella5819]

Amazing scenery shots as always!

[@robyn_southafrica]

I randomly cane across your channel at the beginning of quarantine szn and so far everything I've watched has intrigued me so much!! Your content is A1 and you're an interesting person to watch and listen too. Thanks for doing what you love Allison, & sharing your adventures with us!!! 🌞 Cheers to many more adventures ❤ love from South Africa ❤ (also, this location is so randomly cool because i just finished reading a book where this place was the main location lol)

[@drivewayauto9440]

Oh What book

[@joshuaponczoch]

I live in CDA, the only thing not correct is the celeb sightings. We do get some high profile people however there is a special hidden ranch they all go to. It’s very exclusive and stocked so that they want for nothing, very very rare for them to come into town. They have contracts that make them invisible except for passing them in traffic.

[@ModernMolliee]

This is so pretty and peaceful!

[@pearlme4028]

Thanks for showing us this gorgeous place, I haven't been visited to the place but I can know how calming this place for relaxing 👍

[@milagrossantiago9942]

Allison you are the prettiest little lakeside lady!

[@TheAnxietyAdvocate]

My heart. I worked in CDA the last 3 months at my mentors chiropractic office, as well as lived in that region during undergrad - you bet ima move back to open my own chiropractic office in just under 2 years there!

[@xvsj-s2x]

Great question, “Jenny Lake” Wyoming at the base of the Tetons ❤️

I live in Spokane and my grandparents live in CDA:) so pretty there!

[@christal9093]

That's funny what you were saying about high school you because when I was 15 we did a road trip to Coeur d'Alene from Vancouver Island and it was my favorite place. I wanted to move there and I always said I would when I grew up:) I never did, but as soon as we can travel again I want to do a trip with my kids through BC to Idaho ❤

[@breevestal]

We just moved to Coeur D’alene to escape WA. We love it here.

[@MrAphilipe]

Doing the same shortly ourselves

[@mspillum3893]

We boat there often. WE LOVE IT.

[@marlenaeva3813]

thank you, Allison, you're a gem

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I road-tripped there with my dad when I was 10. We went to a breakfast restaurant where I had what felt like the world’s biggest plate of pancakes. It was so much food that I literally didn’t eat pancakes again until I was about 30! Nice town! I have been enjoying lots of your videos lately! - Paula from Victoria B.C.

[@allisonanderson]

That sounds like such a great memory. It's funny the things we remember forever from our childhood.

[@mandalyngarrett5390]

I live here but out in the more rural area. Love it here so much.

[@picframe000]

It really is a little heaven on earth❤ used to go there every year❤ actually the highway from there along the border of Canada and Washington is the most gorgeous drive you will ever experience with a lot of cute little towns on the way

I don't cherish the sun since it's sunny year round in LA 😂

[@makeupandmore7]

It's so crazy to see celebrities coming to Idaho. I've grown up in a small town a couple hours south of CDA and we consider it a pretty big town. Some celebs actually have vacation homes up there, a lot of really beautiful mansions around the lake.

[@drivewayauto9440]

Yea my math teacher was just telling me today about how he use to serve and he served like kardashian and Mark wahlburg and kobe Bryant it crazy how many celebritys come here

[@laciduke8699]

I once met Ben Stein in my hometown of Sandpoint, it definitely is a strange thing to see someone famous like that in real life lol 😄

@@drivewayauto9440 We have a 22 foot Bennington and boat almost every weekend. CDA is nice when it is not choppy. For locals weekday boating has much smoother water.

Do you always travel alone or with your husband? The place looks absolutely beautiful.

Kodi James how do you get there? I tried looking at airfare and got confused . Thank you for the info

The winter is harsh, cold and gloomy. We moved there and left within a year. Many Californians go there, so housing is high and too many retirees. I would never go back. Not that great.
