Summary:
Payette Lake Getaway: Private Dock & Deck
The Space:
A Secluded Lakefront Sanctuary on Payette Lake — Your Private Dock, Your Own Slice of Paradise
If you've ever dreamed of waking up to the glassy morning surface of a mountain lake just steps from your door, this stunning property on the northwestern shore of Payette Lake is exactly what you've been looking for. Peaceful, private, and beautifully appointed, this secluded retreat is the perfect escape for a small family or a group of friends who want to spend their days living on the water and their evenings unwinding in style.
The sprawling deck is the undisputed heart of this home — commanding breathtaking views of Payette Lake and the distant mountains that shift and glow with the changing light throughout the day. From the deck, it's just a few short steps down to your private dock and the lake itself, making spontaneous swims, kayaking adventures, and lazy afternoons on the water as effortless as they should be. When you're ready to come inside, the well-appointed kitchen is fully equipped for whatever meals you have in mind, and the comfortable living area — warmed by a cozy wood stove — is the ideal spot to curl up with a good book as the lake shimmers outside the window. Streaming TV, WiFi, and an in-home washer and dryer ensure every comfort of home is accounted for, making longer stays an absolute pleasure.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2024
View was fabulous basically the whole front is windows. Beds and furniture comfortable. Shades were clean and easy to use for privacy or to block the morning sun. Ceiling fan for cooling. There is furnace heat so I didn’t have to try and light the pilot lite of the gas stove. The high was 40 degrees the first 2 days so the heat was appreciated. The upper deck is very narrow more for standing out there and looking. If you do sit sideways the rail blocks much of the tree line view. Photos did not show the width. Downstairs deck more user friendly. Fairly private other than one neighbor which can be blocked out in the living room by the shades. The only criticism I have is that there was no sign that says the running water is potable from the lake. It probably said in the description but I reviewed a lot of different sites and if so did not remember. It does say in the house booklet but I rarely look at those first thing. It should be posted so people can make their own decisions. That said, I always carry a couple of gallons of water for emergency so it was no big deal for me. Weather was too cold to really enjoy the outside of the house-go figure in mid June! Did enjoy the peacefulness of the view from the inside

The house was amazing, the view was breathtaking. Beds were comfortable, we were provided with everything we needed for our stay. My only complaint is all the additional fees. I feel the per night was a fair price, but after all fees, we ended up paying over double the actual price for two nights during the off-season. Would love to come stay during the summer, but when we checked pricing it was completely unaffordable for only three nights after all the fees

A quiet relaxing time. The cabin is very clean and was spacious enough for our family. Very quiet area of the lake and close enough to plenty of activities. Will go back again.

It’s a very special location - very beautiful view and spacious home. We spent the weekend playing cards and relaxing. We were disappointed property management did not leave us a snow shovel during a major storm…. Only an old broom. And forgot to take out the prior guests’ trash. The kitchen is well stocked but there’s no salt and pepper, olive oil, etc (what I would consider basic cooking stuff). So simple improvements could greatly improve the stay
