Why Rathdrum?

​

Rathdrum is one of Idaho’s hidden gems. It offers the slower pace of small-town living with quick access to larger hubs like Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene. The views of Rathdrum Mountain are breathtaking, and nearby outdoor attractions like Farragut State Park, Twin Lakes, and Spirit Lake provide endless opportunities for hiking, boating, fishing, and exploring.

​

The town itself has a tight-knit community, with local schools, churches, and small businesses that contribute to its warm, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where neighbors know each other, kids ride bikes down tree-lined streets, and the stars shine bright at night.
