The Space:
A Secluded, Cozy Lakefront Sanctuary on Payette Lake, A Private Dock, Your Place to Unplug
This is the cabin you’ve been looking for! Wake up to the glassy surface of a crystal-clear mountain lake just outside your bedroom door at this stunning property on the northwestern shore of Payette Lake. Peaceful, private, and thoughtfully furnished, this retreat is the perfect escape for a small family or a group of friends who want to spend their days on the water and their evenings unwinding around the table with good food, easy conversation, and late-night card games.
The deck offers breathtaking views of Payette Lake and the distant mountains, which glow with the changing light. In the summer, the lake beckons. Dive in for a spontaneous swim, marvel at the ospreys, bald eagles, or mergansers from your kayak or paddleboard, or enthusiastically tackle your next trick behind your boat. In the winter, snow adventures (skis, boards, snowmobiles) are just a few minutes’ drive away. Snowball fights, maple syrup snow ice cream, and silent observation of the night sky need no travel time at all! 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 fireplace, is the ideal spot to curl up with a good book. Streaming TV, WiFi, and a washer and dryer ensure all home comforts are accounted for, and longer stays are easy and stress-free.

Nearby Towns and What to Explore:
- McCall, Idaho (within a few miles): The quintessential mountain town, set right on Payette Lake. It’s known for its beautiful views, easygoing pace, and the kind of community that makes you feel at home right away. McCall is the heart of Long Valley for dining, shopping, and activities, with local boutiques, great restaurants, and year-round events and festivals. It is where you will find the most grocery stores, cute coffee shops, and local favorites.
- Donnelly, Idaho (approximately 13 miles south): A quieter lakeside town near Lake Cascade with a laid-back feel. It’s also home to Tamarack Resort, where you can enjoy skiing, mountain biking, live music, and events throughout the year for more of a resort-style experience.
- Cascade, Idaho (approximately 26 miles south): A relaxed lake town centered around Lake Cascade, known for its easy pace and outdoor access. It’s a great spot for boating, fishing, and beach days in the summer, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the water.
- New Meadows, Idaho (approximately 15 miles north): A peaceful, scenic area that feels a bit removed from the busier lake towns. Surrounded by open landscapes and mountain views, it’s a great place to unwind, take a quiet drive, or simply enjoy a slower, more relaxed day.

The house was super cozy and a great place to get away for the weekend!
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
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2022
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
6 / 10Average·Dec 2023
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
