Our home is Craftsman-style - open and comfortable, on the Payette RIver. Tucked in the forest downriver from the Shore Lodge with a spacious deck that looks out over the river below - the beauty and tranquility here make it the perfect retreat and a great place to celebrate family and friends being together. We are in a quiet residential neighborhood, with lovely full-time neighbors, so the only wildlife we want here are the ospreys, deer, songbirds, and the occasional fox.

The 2,100 sf main entry level features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a spacious great room with solid cherry floors, large kitchen with island and barstools, a walk-in pantry stocked with more kitchen appliances and extras, and a laundry/mud room. 10 ft ceilings and 8 ft picture windows looking east at the river and mountain views brings in nature's beauty. The 4th and 5th bedrooms are downstairs in a finished 800 sf daylight basement. A queen bedroom is next to a full bath. The 5th bedroom is an open living room area next to the queen bedroom, with a twin bed, recliner chair, and 65 TV. It's a great suite for families with children who want a quiet separate area. A self-inflating single mattress is provided, along with bedding for it, bringing the total sleeping capacity to 10 people.

SNOWMOBILERS: Yes, there is room in our U-shaped driveway for trucks and trailers, BUT, our full-time neighbors are disturbed by the noise and exhaust generated by idling diesel trucks and/or snowmobiles being moved into the garage after dark.
If you bring your own sleds, you must agree to not start or run their engines or truck engines after dusk.

KITCHEN: open to the great room; fully equipped with all the tools for gourmet cooking, including a Cuisinart, large Ninja blender, pressure cooker, big turkey-roasting pan, enameled dutch oven, etc. We have granite counters, 2 sinks, custom cabinetry, and an island with 3 tall bar seats. Art tile backsplash with custom bronze tile and hardware. Dimmer switches throughout.

Dining Room: table seats 8 and sits along picture windows looking out to a beautiful view of the river and forest

Living room: sofa, wide snuggle chair and ottoman, plus a leather recliner. A new 77 SONY OLEDTV, AppleTV, Surround Sound speakers. High-speed Wifi, and YouTube TV and Netflix subscriptions. The river rock fireplace has a gas log insert that warms the room very quickly with a glowing fire and built-in fan.

Master bedroom: View windows face the river. California King natural latex bed, large bathroom with heated limestone floors, a separate toilet room, walk-in double showerhead shower with ceramic and bronze art tile, and a walk-in carpeted closet. The bedroom has a door out to the deck.

3rd bedroom: Queen bed, dresser, and desk.

Guest bath: tub and shower, 2 sinks, and a linen closet. Next to the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms.

Also downstairs is a bonus room with a 65 TV and one twin bed that serves as the “+” bedroom. A self-inflating air mattress is provided with bedding for a 10th guest.

    Everything was fantastic! Everything has been considered. There are wonderful, clear instructions for everything. We loved sitting on the deck every day and having coffee looking at the river and listening to the birds. It's close to town, but not too close. In a really nice neighborhood. Even better in person! It's very evident that this is someone's warm and well designed home. I'd give it 10 starts if I could. So grateful! I'd book again and again!

    We absolutely LOVED our stay. The home was well-appointed with great attention to detail. From the custom floor tiles to the thoughtful decor, and everything you might need for a home away from home, and just a short drive from downtown. The kitchen was very well stocked. In fact, we had fun trying to find items they didn't have, but nope, they had EVERYTHING! Coffee, cocktails and dinners on the deck were sublime. We were also treated to an epic thunderstorm while we cozied up on the covered deck. We will definitely be back!

    Extremely well-stocked cabin in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. Plenty of room and a great deck overlooking the river. We saw osprey hunt, deer and fawns, and a bear across the river. We have stayed in various rental properties in McCall every summer for 30 years, and this is one of the top cabins our family has stayed in. Highly recommend. Hosts are very responsive and have thought of many extras to include to make your stay great.

    Fabulous house that was very comfortable for our family and fully stocked. I like to cook and the kitchen had every utensil we needed. Great location in a quiet neighborhood--perfect for stroller walks with our grandson. We spent a lot of time on the large back porch watching the river and wildlife. Highly recommend and would definitely book again. Host was responsive and accommodating.

    This was our first VRBO experience and we could NOT have made a better choice! After initially booking with a different property, we discovered that the pictures vs descriptions were vastly different and reviews from previous guests supported our discovery. :( After cancelling that VRBO and then pivoting to our booking with Ken and Valerie's property- we knew we made the best decision right from our very first communications with them. They made themselves available for every question this nervous bride-to-be had, and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed. From the first step in the door, my family and friends from Ohio (some of which had never been to Idaho) were literally awestruck with not only the detailed beauty of the home, but the porch that overlooks the gorgeous Payette River. We enjoyed the space so much that we cancelled all of our week's dinner reservations in McCall and cooked homemade meals in the gourmet kitchen. As a biologist that works with birds we spend almost every waking moment on the porch birding, and loved the surprise visits of deer crossing the river in the morning mist with their fawns, and 3 handsome young bucks that would graze in the bushes on the rivers edge. We were over the moon to know that we could provide an unforgettable experience for our friends and family that will be talked about for years to come. Thank you Ken and Valerie! ~Heather and Adam
