The space
The Home:
This classic McCall home was built in 1978 and thoughtfully renovated in 2025 with one goal in mind: give adventure-filled days a calm, comfortable place to land.

It’s a space for trail legs, lake days, golf rounds, ski mornings, and slow evenings. Kick off your shoes. Pour a drink. Put on a record. Everything you need is already here.

This is the Idaho rhythm. Go all day. Rest well at night.

Living Room | Wind Down, Properly

The living room is built for together time and decompression.

Seating for up to 10
85” TV for movie nights or game days
Sonos surround sound
Vinyl record player for an old-school reset

Drop the needle. Mix an Old Fashioned. Let the day go. This room does a great job of taking the edge off tired souls.

Kitchen | Meals Matter Here

A short-term rental lives or dies by its kitchen. We didn’t cut corners.

This kitchen is stocked for real cooking, not survival meals.

Sharp knives
Plenty of dishes, bowls, and glassware
Full-size refrigerator and freezer
Multiple coffee options, plus cream and sugar

Whether it’s a big family dinner or a quiet breakfast before heading out, this is where a lot of good memories happen.

Sleeping Spaces | Sleep Like You Earned It

Primary bedroom with King bed, closet, and 55” TV

Upstairs
King bedroom with closet and 55” TV
“Girls room” with two twin beds, closet, and 55” TV

Every bedroom includes:
Extra pillows and blankets
Two cozy robes

Because good sleep matters when tomorrow is another full day.

Bathrooms | Simple, Clean, Thoughtful

There’s a bathroom on each level, both with walk-in showers.

Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash chosen for scent and performance
Plenty of towels
Hair dryer in each bathroom

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

Ceiling Height Note (Please Read)

The upstairs was converted from an attic in the 1990s. Because of that, ceiling heights are lower, about 6’3”.

If you’re tall, just be mindful up there.

Laundry | Travel Light

Full-size washer and dryer
Laundry detergent sheets
Beach towels provided

Pack less. Stay longer.

Outdoor Living | Coffee In, Wine Out

Front patio near the carport, great for morning coffee or people-watching

Simple, usable outdoor space that fits the McCall pace.

Extra room for a boat or snowmobile trailer

The garage at the back of the property is owner storage and not accessible to guests.
