About this property

The Conifer Lodge - Rustic & Grand! SLEEPS 35, PET FRIENDLY, 4 DIFFERENT WINGS.

Conifer Lodge – McCall’s Most Iconic Handcrafted Retreat
Sleeps 35 · Pet Friendly · Largest Single-Family Rental in McCall

Welcome to Conifer Lodge, the legendary hand-built lodge of McCall, Idaho — a place where grand gatherings come to life and cozy moments linger long after the trip ends. Sleeping up to 35 guests across three sprawling levels and multiple wings, this rustic yet refined estate is the largest single-family home available for rent in McCall — and the only one where your entire group can stay under one roof with space to spread out, reconnect, and make memories together.

WHAT MAKES CONIFER LODGE SO SPECIAL
Conifer Lodge isn’t just big — it’s unforgettable. Picture waking up to birdsong in a handcrafted room, sipping coffee as morning sun dances off the trees, and spending your days surrounded by loved ones. It's the kind of place where kids play freely, grandparents relax in rockers, and friends gather over games, fireside chats, and meals that last for hours.

Whether you're celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary, hosting a leadership retreat, or planning the most epic friendsgiving ever — this is the home base where everything just feels right. Everyone has their own cozy bedroom to recharge, yet the home invites connection at every turn — in the living room, on the patio, and even on the bunkroom floor during late-night giggles.

CRAFTED WITH HEART, BUILT TO FEEL TIMELESS
Though just 15 years old, Conifer Lodge was built over 7 years to reflect the character and charm of a historic mountain home. Designed to feel like it's stood for over a century, the lodge blends hand-crafted detail with thoughtful, modern comfort. All the woodwork was done by the owners' sons, giving every corner a story and a sense of legacy.

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Aucoin

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Virginia — a full-time property manager with a degree in economics, a heart for hospitality, and a deep love for helping people feel at home wherever they are. I’ve spent years managing unique short-term rentals across Louisiana and Idaho, combining my passions for design, travel, and service into a career I truly love.
Originally from Louisiana, I bring warmth, attention to detail, and a strong sense of care to every guest experience. I believe great hospitality is about more than clean spaces — it’s about thoughtfulness, clear communication, and creating an environment where people can rest, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
Whether you're planning a quiet getaway or a meaningful celebration, I’m here to make sure the experience is smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. My goal is always the same: for guests to feel welcomed, supported, and free to enjoy their time to the fullest.
When I’m not managing properties, you’ll usually find me paddle boarding, hiking, soaking in a hot spring, or exploring new places with my dog Roux Ga Roux. I’m grateful every day to do this work and look forward to welcoming you soon.

Why they chose this property

Tucked away just minutes from downtown McCall, Conifer Lodge is located in one of the area's most peaceful and picturesque residential neighborhoods. Surrounded by towering pines and wide open skies, the setting offers the quiet of the forest while still being close to everything McCall has to offer.
This part of McCall is beloved for its sense of calm. You won’t hear the buzz of traffic or the noise of nightlife — just the wind through the trees, the occasional crackle of a firepit, and birdsong in the morning. Neighbors here are full-time and seasonal residents who cherish the area's natural beauty and peaceful way of life, so guests are encouraged to embrace the quiet and respect the surroundings.
Despite the sense of seclusion, you’re only a short drive to McCall’s top attractions. Ponderosa State Park, Payette Lake, Brundage and Tamarack resorts, and Davis Beach are all within 10 to 30 minutes. Whether you want to hike, ski, snowmobile, fish, or relax at a local hot spring, adventure is always nearby.
The neighborhood’s proximity to outdoor recreation makes it an ideal home base for active groups, while its tranquility also appeals to families, wellness groups, and those celebrating milestones. During the winter, the snow-covered trees and stillness create a storybook setting. In the summer, the long daylight hours and cool mountain breezes invite you to linger on the porch and soak it all in.
It’s this balance of privacy and convenience that makes the neighborhood so special. You’re not just booking a house — you’re stepping into a peaceful mountain enclave where nature, comfort, and connection take center stage.

What makes this property unique

Conifer Lodge stands out as McCall’s most iconic, handcrafted retreat — and not just because of its size. Built over the course of seven years by a family of skilled craftsmen, this three-level, 35-guest lodge was intentionally designed to bring people together. It’s the largest single-family home available for rent in McCall, yet every inch of it feels welcoming and thoughtfully curated.
What makes Conifer Lodge truly special is its rare combination of scale, soul, and story. You’ll find hand-carved woodwork throughout, oversized gathering spaces, and cozy corners where meaningful conversations unfold. Whether it's the soaring ceilings and grand fireplace in the living room, the wall of windows that draws the forest inside, or the bunk room filled with childhood giggles, every space encourages connection while still offering privacy when it’s needed.
Guests love that there are multiple wings, private bedrooms with their own Roku TVs and thoughtful amenities, and large communal areas to enjoy meals, games, and music together. The oversized porch and central firepit make outdoor gatherings just as inviting as those indoors, while the game and media rooms offer everything from foosball to an indoor slide.
It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a space to celebrate big moments, reunite with people you love, or simply escape the pace of everyday life. Every detail, from the seasonal flower boxes to the fully stocked kitchen and generous laundry facilities, reflects a commitment to comfort and care.
Conifer Lodge is not just the biggest — it’s the kind of place guests return to year after year, because it becomes part of their story too.
