Job relocation to Spokane, WA and Hayden or Lewiston, ID (Coeur d'Alene: home, rent)

[misimis1]

I'm being relocated to Spokane, WA and I only need to commute once, twice a week. My husband has work in Lewiston, or Hayden, ID and will have to go 5 days out of the week. We are mountain, 4X4, ATV, horse, hunting, lite snow, and water people. We are from a small town and would like to move to a small town but we need an ok commute to work. We currently commute 45- hour to work as it is. We are looking for acreage and a home that is affordable. Any help about weather, traffic, commuting, activities, places close to where we both will work, and small town's is very appreciated. Realtor's we also need your help, we will be making a trip in April around easter to check it out.

I live in Hayden, husband works in C d'A and commutes to Spokane twice a week. It's about 40 minutes for him to his office there. Lewiston is a good two hours south of Hayden/Coeur d'Alene and would be a long commute to Spokane. Hayden is a small town...Liberty Lake WA is another possibility, halfway between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene (which is shoulder-to-shoulder with Hayden).
