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:)

Amazing getaway. Awesome views in the morning/dusk. Close enough to town but far enough away to relax and enjoy it. We were there for a softball tournament and asked for a late checkout and very understanding. Would definitely stay here again

Great place to stay
The house had everything you needed. Set up very well. The views from deck are wonderful and the ability to walk out behind the house to the bike/hiking trail system was what made this house perfect for us. The location was convenient to town and was very quiet and peaceful once you got to the house

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!

Great Spot
This spot was pretty sweet. However, you will need a 4x4 vehicle with chains for winter time. My 4x4 vehicle could not make it up the driveway. We were able to park below the house and hike up the remaining road without too much difficulty.

Amazing winter wonderland & retreat
It truly was a winter wonderland! We loved the stocked fireplace, cleanliness, 360 views/trees and privacy. The design of the A-frame is so well thought out. Amazing place to stay. Beautiful plants & color! We hope to come again. The snowy & icy driveway provided a lot of fun memories! 4WD/AWD and chains during wintry weather would have helped us make it all the way up 100% of the time. ;-).

Perfect weekend getaway!
We have been to McCall a couple of times, but always stayed in hotels. We came with another family and between the two of us, we had 4 dogs. The owners were gracious enough to allow us to bring all of our pets. The home is beautiful with a majestic view of the lake. Finding our way to the home was difficult to navigate in the dark, but we managed to make it. The beds are VERY firm. You may want to bring a foam pad or some kind of cushion if you desire a more soft sleep. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely book again at this home.

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.

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.
