About this property

Elegant Lakefront Cabin, Private Dock, Bocce Ct, WiFi

Plan a luxurious summer vacation in our green-built (2009) cabin in Pilgrim Cove, the quiet side of Payette lake. Enjoy magnificent lake views from the gourmet kitchen, living room or one of three lakefront decks. Whether you are peacefully greeting dawn from the end of the dock or basking in the heat from the fire after a great day of skiing, you will enjoy the serenity and beauty that only a lakefront property near Ponderosa State Park provides.

Savor lake views from the well-appointed main floor kitchen, great room, dining room and master bedroom (queen). The main floor is wheelchair accessible and includes a master bedroom complete with an accessible walk-in/roll-in shower and safety rails. The main floor opens to a large lakefront deck with breathtaking views, comfortable outdoor dining and a gas grill.
Downstairs there is a family room stocked with toys and games, TV with BluRay, 2 lakeside queen bedrooms, full bathroom and laundry facilities. Access the adjoining lower porch and lake from this walk-out lower level.
Upstairs is a large second master suite facing the lake with a private balcony, queen bed and master bathroom with a double shower.


In the winter you can cross country ski or snow shoe on miles of groomed tracks marked for a variety of experience levels through the woods of Ponderosa State Park just 1/2 mile from the cabin. Load up your alpine skis and head up the mountain to Brundage Mountain Resort just 20 minutes away.
In the spring and fall you can hike in Ponderosa State Park or the abundant hiking trails in the surrounding forests or fish off the dock or in one of many nearby smaller lakes, rivers and streams. Three golf courses offer nearby recreation. Afterwards you can relax by the fire pit, play some bocci or sip hot chocolate or make smores while the little ones play in the sand. Sharing the cabin with family and friends or enjoying a romantic retreat will build lasting memories of peaceful nights and spectacular days.

Amazing home and lakefront location! Communication from the owners was exceptional from start to finish. We had so much fun on the water using the private dock, kayaks, canoe, paddleboard, and beach toys. The kids' air hockey table was a hit all weekend. You can enjoy the spectacular views from both inside the home and outside on the decks. It is spacious, comfortable, and perfectly equipped for a wonderful lakeside getaway!

Beautiful Cabin on Lake Payette in McCall

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at the Poole's cabin on the lake; perfect spot for a family as a lake get away. The cabin is not far from dining and other activities in McCall and the state park is very close. This is a quiet spot on the lake and the view is beautiful. The Poole's are fantastic hosts and you will find the cabin really has everything you need.

Comfortable Lakeside Cabin with Outstanding View

We met some friends for a winter get away in McCall and chose the Poole Cabin. We were NOT disappointed, the layout is fantastic for multiple families and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved the wood trim and nostalgia that went along with it (boards salvaged from original cabin). We hope to visit again soon!

Spectacular setting and accommodations

Enjoyed a week at this property with adult siblings and their spouses. Great place to relax and rejuvenate or stay busy hiking and kayaking right from the property. Nice dining table to spread out family pictures and reminisce for hours. Close to town, just a few minutes to downtown restaurants and shopping. Clean, comfortable and everything needed for a wonderful experience, and the hosts were extremely helpful and communicative. Highly recommend!

Love this place!!!

Wow, what a gem this cabin is. There are breathtaking views of the lake throughout the house and from the decks. We loved eating breakfast on the deck and gazing at the lake! The cabin is elegant and comfortable at the same time, which made for a relaxing trip. We have a toddler, and the cabin has many built-in features to make it safe for little ones. The sandy beach and dock were amazing for playing in the sun and water. We also enjoyed taking the short walk to the state park and the miles of trails there. Can't wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Poole

Host profile image
We were born and raised in northern Idaho and both graduated from the U of I. 35 years ago, our first Christmas away from home as newly weds, we rented a cabin in the cove and we have been coming back since then. We bought this land and a very rustic cabin in 1999 and decided to rebuild in 2009. The knotty pine paneling in the great room of the new cabin was lovingly reclaimed from the original 1940s cabin.

Why they chose this property

We love the cove because of its strong, welcoming community and 1950s neighborly values. Our children learned their love and respect for the lake and its fagile ecosystem and made life-long friends of all ages here. Both daughters celebrated their marriages here and both extracted spousal commitments for frequent returns. For our family this is paradise.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is located on the east side of Payette Lake, in Pilgrim’s Cove. Anyone who has ever stayed on the east side of the lake knows that is offers the benefits of fewer boats and smoother water than the other side of the lake. In the winter it offers the opportunity to experience long hours of silence.
