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.

Oh my gosh, this home is beautiful, lake view was gorgeous, home was clean and had all the essentials we needed. Both hosts, Mary and Dan were excellent communicators. We will definitely recommend this home to others.

We love sharing our cabin with those who enjoy it and care for it. Thank you so much for being both.
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!
The lake house was well maintained, clean and better than expected. The communication from Dan and Mary was exceptional. We loved every minute and would definitely go back.

We are always pleased to meet your needs and add a little happiness to the world we share. I am sure the snowy days brought even bigger smiles to your faces as well.
Great location and awesome set up for two families. The house was stocked very well and was very comfortable and the hosts were very responsive to questions.
We were so impressed with everything this property offers.The owners could not have been more attentive to our comfort. The property is in a lovely quiet area with anincredible view. Everything you need and want is available.
We had a wonderful stay in this large, quiet, well equipped cabin on the lake. Sunrise is amazing from the deck, close to town but feels a million miles away. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future.
The views and the property were everything you could ask for and Mary and Dan were outstanding hosts. The property is perfectly laid out for multiple couples or a couple families offering plenty of common area to socialize and privacy on every level of the home.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this house. It is so nice and has everything that you could want with only being 12 minutes from downtown. The owners are super available and helpful.

Julie, we agree Pilgrim Cove is the best part of the lake! Thank you so much for your kind words. So sorry you had jet ski issues. Looking forward to hearing from you in the future.

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.

We love this cabin!! For a group of four couples this cabin was absolutely perfect. The layout is great, the house was immaculately clean, kitchen stocked with all the utensils and dishware needed. The hosts are wonderful and take the extra steps needed to ensure your stay is great. We want to come back!
We are a group o 8 senior citizens who take a yearly short trip together. This was our first time in McCall and we all loved it. The home was a dream come true. We are all hoping to return next year! Great hosts and gorgeous home.

Thank you so much. We are pleased you enjoyed our happy place,
We rented this house because it has a private dock and community boat launch. There are lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. You can easily feed 10 people and have room to spread out.
Owners were very helpful

We are so glad the cabin worked for you and your family. I hope you take some happy memories with you of our special place.
Our annual mother-daughter trip was great at this property! Enough bedrooms that no one had to share. :) We thoroughly enjoyed the deck, accommodations, and extremely well-stocked kitchen. We hope to be back soon!

Katie I hope you come back soon. I thought it was so serendipitous that you know P. We like her and her family so much and have come to feel similarly about you and yours. Good Vibes
And the housekeeper appreciated how nice you left the house. Her husband broke his leg and she really deserved considerate helpful guests.
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!

Cindy, thank you. You were great and I love vicariously enjoying McCall through our communication.
We were a group of five friends from several different states who gather annually to celebrate our friendship. The Poole's cabin in McCall was perfect for our group! There were plenty of bedrooms, super comfy beds, gorgeous views, and space to sit and visit, eat and cook together. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and only wished we'd had more time to spend there. Dan and Mary were wonderful hosts who made every effort to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend this beautiful home and look forward to coming again!
Definitely will be back. Quiet and peaceful setting overlooking the beautiful lake. Home very well furnished. Extremely Clean and great value.
Know this—you will not find better hosts than Don and Mary. During our stay they checked in with us to make sure all was well. Priceless.

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
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.
