Welcoming Retreat - Walk to Town & Payette Lake

Summary:

McCall Family Home: Yard, Fire Pit & Downtown



The Space:

A Tranquil McCall Hideaway — Downtown at Your Doorstep, Nature at Your Back



Pack your bags, gather the crew, and let the good times begin. This charming ranch-style home in the heart of McCall strikes the perfect balance between peaceful retreat and convenient location — tucked into a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood yet just a short stroll from everything that makes McCall so special.



Inside, comfortable amenities and a warm, welcoming atmosphere make it easy to settle in and truly unwind. High-speed internet keeps those who need to stay connected happy, while everyone else can focus on the important business of relaxing. When the day winds down, the covered deck with its four-person table and gas grill is the perfect spot for a sunset cookout, and the tree-surrounded backyard firepit practically begs for an evening of s'mores and stargazing. With a spacious backyard for the kids to run free and a double sofa bed in the living area for extra sleeping flexibility, this home is ready for the whole family.

We enjoyed our time in this home with our family of 10! It was comfortable, well kept, and a great location. We felt secluded and tucked away, yet it was just a short walk to town and the lake. We would definitely stay here again!

Great home for the family

We had a great time at this location during spring break. Clean, just enough space for the 5 of us. Close to downtown, yet secluded enough to feel like you're in the woods. We are looking forward to returning to McCall and seeing if this home is available.

Great accommendations and property.

We loved the house it was beautiful and great location. The layout of the house is great for multiple couples. There was a lot of deer around that were fun to watch. The beds were a little soft but would stay again.
