Two Lakes Inn to open on Lake Cd'A Drive

Stressing the name is "inn" rather than "motel," the Two Lakes Inn will open Friday at 320 E. Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive.

Situated between Fernan and Coeur d'Alene lakes, it offers seven rooms that accommodate four guests and two suites for six as well as plans for a commercial kitchen and dining area for a retreat center. Hence "Inn."

With woodwork adding a Northwest feel, the rooms include a patio, mini-fridge, a coffee maker and TV. Owners are Skyler and Hillary Shannon, and Danny Vredenburg is general manager. Phone 208-916-3338. Email twolakesinn@gmail.com.
