Lakefront Luxe on Payette Lake | Private Dock + Beach-McCall Group Retreat

Lakefront Luxe is McCall’s premier lakefront retreat for groups who want unpretentious luxury, modern convenience, and a home that actually works for entertaining. Set directly on Payette Lake with 60' of private sandy beach and a dock, this 6BR/5BA, 4,475 sq ft modern lake house (sleeps 16) wraps big water views, a chef’s kitchen, three lake‑view lounges, wet bars, hot tub, and a huge gear‑ready mudroom into one easy, come‑as‑you‑are gathering place. Traditions and memories both made here.

Lakefront Luxe sits in McCall’s Crescent Beach neighborhood, a tucked‑away stretch of Payette Lake that feels worlds away but is only about 2 miles from downtown. You’re on the quiet west side of the lake, surrounded by private homes, mature trees, and big‑sky water views—plus your own 60' sandy beach and private dock for boating, swimming, and year‑round lake time.

When you’re ready to roam, you’re a quick drive to McCall’s restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and shops, as well as classic Idaho adventures: Brundage Mountain Resort and Tamarack Resort for skiing and riding; Winter Carnival, golf, horseback riding, ziplining, rafting, and hot springs.

It’s a true lakefront escape that still keeps you close to everything McCall does best.

Note: The dock is typically installed mid‑May through early September. Reach out if you’d like to confirm installation dates for your stay.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
*If you're flying into Boise International Airport, we recommend renting a vehicle directly from the airport.

*It's possible to get an Uber from Boise/BOI to McCall, although it's not necessarily a reliable mode of travel; depending on your arrival time and season, you may have difficulty finding a driver who will accept your ride. Uber is not currently accepting advance reservations for trips to McCall from Boise; on-demand rides will be your only option.

*If you're traveling in winter or you plan to enjoy the many off-roading adventures available in Valley County, we HIGHLY recommend a 4WD vehicle.
