Idaho Panhandle resort city on Lake Coeur d'Alene at 700m elevation — anchored by the lake (one of the prettiest in North America by widely-cited rankings) and a downtown lakefront resort-and-marina. Downtown Coeur d'Alene (Sherman Avenue + the resort area) is the walkable core. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Idaho has state income tax (5.8%). The structural draws are lake-and-mountain geography, four-season climate (skiing at nearby Schweitzer / Silver Mountain), and meaningfully-cheaper-than-Bend pricing. Summer tourist density is real June-August.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
