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."

We had a nice weekend escape in a spot close to town yet it felt like we were way out in the woods. We stayed in and cooked at the kitchen was well stocked. Comfy beds and a clean cabin as well!

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.
