About this property

Carlson Cabin - Payette River Views and Access - Fishing - Private Wooded Setting - Pet Friendly

Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of McCall's Rotary Park beach, this spacious, pet-friendly cabin on a forested bluff with views of the Payette River below is a must for your McCall Memory book. Lounge and relax with lovely, tree top views from the living area which opens onto the back deck. Wander down to the river below to enjoy an afternoon of fly-fishing. Nicely equipped kitchen with lots of work space and counter seating so you can chat with the Chef du Jour. There is a dedicated dining area and table to gather in and around. Stay warm in winter and on chilly summer mornings with the propane fireplace. Warm natural woods and wood tones make the living area extra inviting and comfy.

This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home can comfortably sleep 8 people. On the main level is a guest bedroom with queen bed and a second guest room with two twin beds. A hall-access bathroom is convenient to all guests. Upstairs you'll find an open loft bedroom with a queen bed and tree top view of the woods and ensuite bathroom. The couch in the living area downstairs converts to a sofa sleeper.

Savor your morning coffee on the tree top deck where the Payette River and birdsong will lull you into relaxation – you may even see a river otter or two during your watch. Celebrate a game day with two big screen 4K TVs (65" and 55"). Access Netfix and other streaming apps, just like from home.

Guests have access to the convenient, stay-out-of-the-weather, two car garage, as well as a wide driveway for your sled deck or boat trailer - so don't forget to bring your toys!

This cabin is close enough to downtown for convenience but far enough to allow for privacy. Just a five minute drive to downtown McCall's public boat launch on Payette Lake - McCall's glacially-formed, 6 mile long gem. In the winter, the house is only a 15 minute drive to Brundage Mountain Ski Resort which touts itself as having "The Best Snow in Idaho."

5 stars – The Perfect Getaway Spot!

From the moment we pulled up, we knew this cabin was something special. Tucked away in nature but still accessible, it offered the perfect mix of peaceful seclusion and cozy comfort. Every detail was thoughtfully curated—from the sparkling clean interior to the fully stocked kitchen and dreamy beds that made it nearly impossible to get up in the morning (in the best way).We spent our evenings gathered around the living room and our mornings sipping coffee on the porch, wrapped in a blanket with nothing but the sound of birds around us. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it feel like a true home away from home.Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat, a romantic weekend, or just a reset from everyday chaos—this cabin delivers. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already planning our next stay. Highly recommend to anyone craving that perfect cabin experience!

Snow Getaway

My family and I have a tradition of taking a yearly trip from the south to a place where we can find Snow. This year, we decided to go to Idaho and stumbled upon this adorable little cabin. It was located in a great spot, easy to reach, with plenty of food options and a fun downtown area. Plus, it was super close to two different ski slopes. The whole family had an absolute blast and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’re definitely coming back again in the future!

Perfect Cabin For Our Group

The cabin was exactly how the description presented it. It was super clean, well appointed and the perfect size for our group of 7! The kitchen provided all of the tools and equipment needed to prepare meals. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious enough. The fireplace was super cozy and the outdoor gas fire pit made for fun evenings. This is probably the best, most efficient and most easy to work with property management company that I have encountered while renting through VRBO. Most importantly, the location is beautiful and perfect! Highly recommend visiting Burgdorf Hot Springs while staying in McCall! We will definitely be back!

Great River Access

My wife and I traveled here from Texas. Such an awesome little house with GREAT river access to walk down and fish or just relax. It's a very short drive to town, and the garage parking was a plus! Would definitely book this place again.

Pro's and Con's

Pro's: Great location and view, antiquate stocked kitchen and baths. Con's: Carpet and throw rugs were disgusting and should be replaced. Patio/furniture was not cleaned off of bird poo or swept off before our arrival. We were left with three empty propane bottles but after a phone call to management they came during the day with replacements.

Family lake trip

This property served our group well- 4 adults. The listing says it sleeps 8 but you would have a hard time fitting that many people into the cabin comfortably, the living space is smaller than it appears on the photos. Also, the listing does not accurately describe the upstairs shower. Anyone 6 feet or taller is going to have a hard time fitting in it. The garage and pull-through drive way was perfect for maneuvering and storing our fishing boat! Overall a comfortable stay for our trip.

First time to McCall

This was our first time to visit this part of the US. McCall did not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful and the house was a great addition. The photos online made it seem bigger than it was. But was enough room for two adults. Between what we brought and what was furnished in the house, we did not want for anything. Being right on the Payette river was a bonus. The neighborhood was nice and very quiet. We walked the neighborhood and enjoyed the sights. Very close and downtown and the Shore Lodge.

Fantastic McCall getaway!

We were in town for a wedding at the shore lodge. We had 5 people in our family and this cabin worked perfectly. We would rent it again in a second. Kitchen was well stocked with essential equipment. Lovely decor. Good view of the river.

This is a beautifully maintained property with a magnificent view of the Payette river. Walking distance to the shore lodge and other restaurants. Property was as advertised. The only negative was that the deck was smaller than it appeared in the listing.

Enjoyed the Getaway

Super easy process from booking to checkout. Very pretty view. Easy parking if you have a large truck or van. Was not an issue for us but based on the photos it was a little smaller than I imagined. Everything was clean and tidy. Was even treated to a deer family out the kitchen window one evening snacking. I would book again for future trip.
