About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A-frame escape with Payette Lake views and backdoor Forest access. Pet Friendly.

Come enjoy the mountains with a lake view in our quintessential Alpenglow A-Frame in beautiful McCall.
We invite you to unwind and get lost in time as you indulge in peaceful tranquility of nature. This is a beautiful place to relax, rejuvenate, and spend quality time in solitude or gathering with friends and family. A connection to nature and the peaceful quiet of the mountains is at your fingertips. We are pet friendly and welcome your best friend(s) to enjoy our dog paradise. They will LOVE it here! and you will love that we charge NO PET FEES :) Our mountain retreat is located on 2 acres at the edge of the woods, yet conveniently only seven minutes to town.
There is (non-motorized only) access to the Bear Basin trail system and the Payette National Forest, offering amazing opportunities for mountain biking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, dog walking and exploring right out the backdoor! Wildlife abounds.
After your outdoor adventure, you can create culinary masterpiece in the large, open kitchen which is fully stocked with high quality pots, pans, and appliances. Relax together and enjoy the lake view in the open living/ dining room warmed by cozy wood fire or share a cocktail on the large deck in the fresh mountain air. We have books and games, Wi-Fi, and a Smart TV with Netflix.
The intimate view of the lake from the upstairs Master bedroom and balcony is priceless and can be enjoyed as you as you climb into a King bed made up with French Linen. Or while you soak in the vintage claw foot tub with a peek-a-boo lake view. The second bedroom has 2 queen beds, also fitted with luxury cotton linens and down comforters, a beautiful Forest view and large private deck.
There’s a cozy little loft with a single bed that is fun for kids. (Winter only. Too hot in summer) There is also a fold out sofa

As per the comments.... we have added solar outdoor lighting to the driveway to make the Aframe easier to find in the dark:)

*Four wheel drive is absolutely required in the winter. Driveway is a steep and windy, and not trailer friendly:)

Stay a week with us and save 10%!
Return guests save 10 %!
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Limited housekeeping is available.

Alpine Visit

This is a very fine property and very comfortable. The house was very clean and quiet, with a great fine view of the lake and the mountains to the east. It's located far enough off Warren Wagon Road that I did not notice any traffic noise at all. The owners clearly care about the place, and it shows.

Forest Getaway

Location was excellent. We saw a bear cub and a 4 point buck. The A-frame interior had a very nice roomy design, was clean, well-equipped and had interesting custom wood cabinetry and bathroom tile work. Portable AC units in living room and upstairs bedrooms kept the interior temperature very comfortable during late July heat. The three patios have beautiful views with comfortable furniture. Outdoor seating area with fire pit is very nice. The private apartment located below the guest A-frame should be described in the VRBO write-up so that future guests are not surprised when they see it and they know what to expect. The host was very responsive. I was very happy with our stay.

Charming Cabin

We absolutely loved this cabin. It was so clean and so well stocked with everything you need and more. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the lake view. It was so great to be able to bring our doggies and have space around the cabin for them to explore. The location was excellent, close to everything. The owners were excellent with communication, etc. We will definitely be booking this cabin in the future!

Stunning views

We loved the large space and stunning views with balconies everywhere! Our pups enjoyed the treats and dog bed. I loved having sharp Henckel knives to use! We enjoyed playing games each night after a day of working out. My son and I ran on the bear basin trails, then we ran the Jug Mountain 10k, then we drove to New Meadows-and biked 45 miles to Cambridge, then the last day we Biked the canyon between Midvale and Weiser. A very active vacation, made better by returning back to your comfy cabin. My husband enjoyed running along Lake Payette each day for his exercise. Pups were just happy to hang with us. So, thank you for helping us create lovely memories of McCall! Cheers

Great cozy A-frame cabin with great view and plenty of room

I loved this location. We went in March 2023 and there was a lot of snow. The narrow road up the hill to the cabin was plowed. A bit of a challenge for my long wheelbase truck, but totally doable. The last hairpin turn going up required a few back and forth's to make the turn due to the steep snow banks on the sides of the road. Actually made it more adventurous, which I certainly like. We were there for skiing and access to both Tamarack and Brundage were great. Short, easy access to McCall too. Our host was great and even offered a late check-out, which ended up helping our logistics in the end. We arrived at the cabin after dark, but following the hosts detailed directions is definitely the way to get there as Google is a bit off as the host mentioned.

Annual adventure place!

We were looking for a place where we could take our dogs and have a mini vacation in the snow. This place was beyond our expectations! When we arrived we were welcomed by a fire and a note on the chalkboard welcoming us. The dog treats and dog bed were totally unexpected and a welcomed addition. The fully stocked kitchen with all the appliances you have at home allowed us to cook out meals in, which we prefer. The bed was super comfy, the well thought out details, hooks in the bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen towels, soap, all the little details...you can tell the owners take pride in the home and think of all the details. We would definitely stay here again and plan to make this an annual snow adventure with our dogs.
