The kitchen at Alder & Antler keeps it simple and solid—butcher block, Cafe appliances, and room for a skillet breakfast before you hit the trail

Alder & Antler is authentic, cozy, and tucked close to the lakes, mountains, and woods that make McCall feel like a pocket of timeless Idaho.

One cabin, four directions to play—Ponderosa State Park, Payette Lake, Brundage, and downtown McCall all within an easy reach

Your primary bedroom feels like a classic cabin loft—hand‑hewn beams, vaulted ceiling, and a king bed made for deep mountain sleep. Ensuite bath is super charming with dual copper sinks, a claw foot tub, and a walk-in shower

Downtown McCall is close enough for coffee runs, burgers, and brewery nights—far enough that you’ll still hear crickets when you get home

Trail mornings are easy here: roll out of the cabin and be at Ponderosa’s pine‑lined paths and viewpoints in just a short drive

Alder & Antler: a 2020‑built log cabin tucked under the pines, minutes from Payette lake, Ponderosa Park, and downtown. Enjoy 48'x18' of covered parking (plenty of room for toys), two covered porches, a covered patio, and Airstream hookups

Park once at the cabin, then fan out: bike paths, the golf course, and downtown are all within a few easy minutes

From the first step inside, Alder & Antler feels like a classic cabin with modern ease

The open kitchen and dining room keep the cook in the conversation, with the great room and pellet stove just a few steps away

At night, lamps low and stove humming, the living room feels like the cabins you remember, just with better heat and softer seats

Morning light pours across the table while the coffee brews and a huckleberry pie cools on the countertop—simple cabin routines

Enamel mugs, wood grain, and a well‑used cutting board give the kitchen its nostalgic, cabin‑camp feel

Butcher‑block counters and real cookware mean you can cook for real, not just “vacation snacks”

Small but mighty: everything you need for camp‑style coffee, pancake mornings, and easy suppers after a day on the lake

From sandy swimsuits to muddy socks, the laundry setup at Alder & Antler quietly handles the mess so the cabin can stay cozy. In addition to the stackable GE washer and dryer there's also a great space for hanging coats or wet beach towels

With the bunk room and great room close by, the main floor bath quietly does its job—rinsing off dusty kids and tired hikers. Hot water, soft towels, and straightforward finishes make this bathroom a no‑fuss landing spot between porch time and town

Sturdy Amish-built custom Q/Q bunks + real mattresses make the bunkroom the favorite crash‑pad for kids, cousins, or a couple trail‑tired grown‑ups. Close quarters in here--can sleep 4 but may be best suited for two adults plus their provisions

Close the door, pull the curtains, and turn the bunk room into a quiet nest after long lake days and late porch nights

Warm wood, soft light, and sturdy bunks give this bedroom a classic camp feel, only with real mattresses and cozy cotton linens

Hand‑hewn logs, vaulted ceilings, and warm light make the great room the heart of the cabin

The open‑concept great room at Alder & Antler keeps everyone in the same story—cooks in the kitchen, card players at the table, and loungers by the stove

Spread out the trail maps, deal a hand of cards, or linger over a long dinner—the dining table is where stories stretch out

From first coffee to last board game of the night, the kitchen and table are the quiet heartbeat of Alder & Antler

From first cup to last card game, the great room is Alder & Antler’s gathering place—simple, warm, and made for being together

After a day on Payette or in Ponderosa, the great room is your landing pad for wool blankets, snacks, and slow evenings in

Drop your bags, sink into the sofa, and let the pellet stove glow and timber beams tell you you’re off the clock

From the king bed, you can see the beams, feel the quiet of the pines outside, and know you’re in a true log cabin, not a copy. The mini-split offers the comfort of AC in the summertime

The king loft at Alder & Antler feels like a perch in the rafters—warm wood, soft light, and a comfy bed. With the loft open to the living room below, it’s full of charm—just remember sound and light travel like they do in an old-schol cabin

Wood grain, simple lines, and a private bath make the primary feel like your own little hideaway under the roof (6 drawers are locked for storage)

At night, the glow from the great room drifts up to the loft, giving the king suite a lantern‑low, tucked‑in feel. The closet adds nice extra storage space

The ensuite keeps to the Alder & Antler promise—rustic charm, just the good stuff: hot water, clean finishes, and a place to exhale. Soak in the claw foot tub or relax in the walk-in shower

Wake to pine‑filtered light in the loft, then step straight into your own bath—no shuffle down the hall, just cabin ease

The ensuite is unfussy and clean—hot shower, soft towels, and a spot to rinse off lake days and trail dust before turning in

The loft bedroom and ensuite pair nostalgia with ease—classic cabin layout, with the comfort of your own bath just a few steps away

Watch the seasons change from the porch—snowfall, fall color, long summer evenings—knowing you’re never far from what you need in town.

Gas or charcoal—pick your fire. The grills sit side by side, ready for burgers after Ponderosa or steaks after the lake (camp-style charcoal grill just out of frame to the left)

This is where camp really happens: long table, string lights, and room for card games, s’mores, and slow porch suppers

From the porch to Payette Lake in minutes—swims, paddles, and marina ice cream, then back to the hush of the pines by sunset

This is McCall’s sweet spot: a true log cabin in the trees, with state park, lake, lifts, shops, and cafes all just down the road

Hit two resorts in the same trip--a quick jaunt to Tamarack offers world-class golf, ziplining, and lift-serviced mountain biking in summer, or Nordic/downhill skiing in winter. Enjoy excellent dining and the Village lifestyle year-round

Where you'll be

Alder & Antler sits in a quiet pocket of McCall that keeps you close to everything without feeling “in town.” You’re less than a mile from Ponderosa State Park, with its pine‑lined trails, bike paths, lake viewpoints, and winter Nordic skiing. Davis Beach on Payette Lake is a quick drive or easy bike ride away for sandy toes and afternoon swims. The McCall Golf Course and the paved bike path system are nearby, making it simple to swap hiking boots for bikes or clubs. Downtown McCall—with its coffee shops, pubs, restaurants, grocery stores, and marina—is only a few minutes by car, so you can grab supplies or dinner out and be back on the porch before sunset. In winter, roads are plowed and you’re well‑placed for snowshoeing in Ponderosa, Nordic trails, and a short drive to Brundage Resort and other local snow adventures.

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.
