Información de la propiedad
On the Payette River - beauty, comfort, gourmet kitchen
Our home is Craftsman-style - open and comfortable, on the Payette RIver. Tucked in the forest downriver from the Shore Lodge with a spacious deck that looks out over the river below - the beauty and tranquility here make it the perfect retreat and a great place to celebrate family and friends being together. We are in a quiet residential neighborhood, with lovely full-time neighbors, so the only wildlife we want here are the ospreys, deer, songbirds, and the occasional fox.
The 2,100 sf main entry level features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a spacious great room with solid cherry floors, large kitchen with island and barstools, a walk-in pantry stocked with more kitchen appliances and extras, and a laundry/mud room. 10 ft ceilings and 8 ft picture windows looking east at the river and mountain views brings in nature's beauty. The 4th and 5th bedrooms are downstairs in a finished 800 sf daylight basement. A queen bedroom is next to a full bath. The 5th bedroom is an open living room area next to the queen bedroom, with a twin bed, recliner chair, and 65" TV. It's a great suite for families with children who want a quiet separate area. A self-inflating single mattress is provided, along with bedding for it, bringing the total sleeping capacity to 10 people.
SNOWMOBILERS: Yes, there is room in our U-shaped driveway for trucks and trailers, BUT, our full-time neighbors are disturbed by the noise and exhaust generated by idling diesel trucks and/or snowmobiles being moved into the garage after dark. If you bring your own sleds, you must agree to not start or run their engines or truck engines after dusk.
KITCHEN: open to the great room; fully equipped with all the tools for gourmet cooking, including a Cuisinart, large Ninja blender, pressure cooker, big turkey-roasting pan, enameled dutch oven, etc. We have granite counters, 2 sinks, custom cabinetry, and an island with 3 tall bar seats. Art tile backsplash with custom bronze tile and hardware. Dimmer switches throughout.
Dining Room: table seats 8 and sits along picture windows looking out to a beautiful view of the river and forest
Living room: sofa, wide snuggle chair and ottoman, plus a leather recliner. A new 77" SONY OLEDTV, AppleTV, Surround Sound speakers. High-speed Wifi, and YouTube TV and Netflix subscriptions. The river rock fireplace has a gas log insert that warms the room very quickly with a glowing fire and built-in fan.
Master bedroom: View windows face the river. California King natural latex bed, large bathroom with heated limestone floors, a separate toilet room, walk-in double showerhead shower with ceramic and bronze art tile, and a walk-in carpeted closet. The bedroom has a door out to the deck.
2nd bedroom: at the front of the home, King bed.
3rd bedroom: Queen bed, dresser, and desk.
Guest bath: tub and shower, 2 sinks, and a linen closet. Next to the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms.
4th bedroom + 1: In the private suite downstairs - an 800 sf daylight basement. The bedroom has a Queen bed and adjacent full bath with shower/tub. Also downstairs is a bonus room with a 65" TV and one twin bed that serves as the “+” bedroom. A self-inflating air mattress is provided with bedding for a 10th guest.
Upstairs laundry room. Washer/dryer, Iron and board, lots of coat hooks.
A two-car garage opens into the house. Remote garage door opener provided. Beach chairs, towels, bicycles, and coolers. are there for your use.

Fabulous house that was very comfortable for our family and fully stocked. I like to cook and the kitchen had every utensil we needed. Great location in a quiet neighborhood--perfect for stroller walks with our grandson. We spent a lot of time on the large back porch watching the river and wildlife. Highly recommend and would definitely book again. Host was responsive and accommodating.

Extremely well-stocked cabin in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. Plenty of room and a great deck overlooking the river. We saw osprey hunt, deer and fawns, and a bear across the river. We have stayed in various rental properties in McCall every summer for 30 years, and this is one of the top cabins our family has stayed in. Highly recommend. Hosts are very responsive and have thought of many extras to include to make your stay great.

A Gem of a Property with a Gorgeous View of the River!
We absolutely LOVED our stay. The home was well-appointed with great attention to detail. From the custom floor tiles to the thoughtful decor, and everything you might need for a home away from home, and just a short drive from downtown. The kitchen was very well stocked. In fact, we had fun trying to find items they didn't have, but nope, they had EVERYTHING! Coffee, cocktails and dinners on the deck were sublime. We were also treated to an epic thunderstorm while we cozied up on the covered deck. We will definitely be back!

Thanks! What a great review. You hit on one of our favorite moments in McCall - watching (and listening to) the wild summer thunderstorms on the deck. That's the main reason we built the deck that way. Snowfalls and glittering breezes are also enchanting. So glad you had a nice time.

Beautiful River property
We loved the area , house, community. We all fit comfortably in the property and enjoyed dinners on the deck- the only issue- it was hot the days we rented ( in the 90s) and we were all uncomfortable. Watch the weather - it can be Hot in July.

We've been thinking we should get air-conditioning installed - it just keeps getting hotter - so while you were there, I watched the weather and knew you were probably thinking the same thing. Sorry we didn't do it sooner, but it will be in by fall.

Mini McCall Vacation
Our family of 6 adults ages 25 to 62 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is even more beautiful than the photos. The best part was the private view of the river from the main rooms of the house. We didn’t mind the one rainy/snowy day because staying in was so cozy and relaxing.
The kitchen was the most well equipped of any VRBO we have ever stayed in. Even the knives were sharp!

Everything was fantastic! Everything has been considered. There are wonderful, clear instructions for everything. We loved sitting on the deck every day and having coffee looking at the river and listening to the birds. It's close to town, but not too close. In a really nice neighborhood. Even better in person! It's very evident that this is someone's warm and well designed home. I'd give it 10 starts if I could. So grateful! I'd book again and again!

McCall - Thanksgiving
The house - exquisite with a great deck overlooking the river. The view - spectacular. The interior - artistic, welcoming, very clean, incredible tile and wood work, wonderful heated floor in the master bathroom. The accommodations - spacious, comfortable beds and furniture, lots of bath and kitchen towels, very well stocked kitchen and pantry. The hosts - engaged and responsive. This is a terrific property. If you stay, notice the small things, like the brass inserts between the tiles - created by the owners, the binoculars for viewing wildlife (we see regularly saw deer, often crossing the river), swivel chairs for enjoying the incredible outside view or chatting with someone inside. We unreservedly recommend this vacation home.

Beautiful home
We have been coming to McCall for 15 years and this is the nicest place we have stayed. It was very clean, excellent choice of cookware. Even a ceramic dutch over which my husbands loves to cook his sourdough bread in. The Basement room was perfect for my daugher and her 2 little ones to be away from the noise during nap time. The only thing that would have made it better is an easier way to get down to the river. We tried twice but the kids couldn't make it. I know its a structural thing and can't be helped. Other than that it made our stay there memorable once again!

Thanks, Kalyn, so happy you liked our home. I know what you mean about the river hill - it's steep below our house so we walk down the neighbor's gentler slope. I don't know why he hasn't built us a staircase yet! We keep hinting... He did attempt to carve out a zigzag path years ago down his slope but it's eroded a bit. I think he's waiting for his grandkids to get big and strong enough to dig it for him. Thanks again for staying.

Wonderful McCall Vacation Property!
This home has it all! Great location, beautiful view, and fully equipped. We are a large family with several generations and had to rent two properties this year to accommodate our growing family. We rented a lakefront property in addition to this property and there was no comparison in relation to quality! Though the lakefront property boasted a beautiful view, our river view was just as beautiful, if not more so because of the amazingly tranquil nature surrounding this home. Plus this home’s kitchen is the first home we have encountered in 30 + years of Renting McCall properties that even came close to providing the basic cooking utensils and provisions you would need to prepare basic meals. We were extremely impressed with this basic feature, because this home goes far beyond basic and provides more than you need. It is so well appointed I can not imagine what else you would need🙂 we would highly recommend this beautiful home and hope to visit again in the near future!

We are SO happy you enjoyed our home! We love to cook, and we tried to duplicate our primary home kitchen so we'd have every tool needed. Thanks for noticing that. And after renting houses ourselves where there wasn't even a salt shaker, we wanted to make life easier for our guests with spices and oil and vinegar and as many pantry basics as possible. We hope you come back again to our little piece of paradise!

Family Stay for Wedding
This was our first VRBO experience and we could NOT have made a better choice! After initially booking with a different property, we discovered that the pictures vs descriptions were vastly different and reviews from previous guests supported our discovery. :(
After cancelling that VRBO and then pivoting to our booking with Ken and Valerie's property- we knew we made the best decision right from our very first communications with them. They made themselves available for every question this nervous bride-to-be had, and went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed.
From the first step in the door, my family and friends from Ohio (some of which had never been to Idaho) were literally awestruck with not only the detailed beauty of the home, but the porch that overlooks the gorgeous Payette River. We enjoyed the space so much that we cancelled all of our week's dinner reservations in McCall and cooked homemade meals in the gourmet kitchen.
As a biologist that works with birds we spend almost every waking moment on the porch birding, and loved the surprise visits of deer crossing the river in the morning mist with their fawns, and 3 handsome young bucks that would graze in the bushes on the rivers edge.
We were over the moon to know that we could provide an unforgettable experience for our friends and family that will be talked about for years to come. Thank you Ken and Valerie!

Acerca del anfitrión
Anfitrión: Ken and Valerie Swink
Ken and Valerie- We've been married 37 years, with 2 daughters and 2 grandsons. Valerie is a jewelry and tile designer from San Diego and Ken, her husband and business partner, is from Burbank. We reside in the North Diego area. Now retired, we have time to manage this vacation rental on our own after having not-so-good experiences using property managers in the past. We like to rent homes through Vrbo when we travel, so we know what it's like, and what good service and comfort is. Guests have told us the kitchen is the best equipped they've ever seen, even over their own home's. That was the goal.
Por qué eligió esta propiedad
McCall is a magical place. It hit us like a thunderbolt in 1994 when we first drove into town. Not that we had planned to buy a second home, it's just that we HAD to once we felt this place. Over 27 years later, it's still heaven to us. The lake, the trees, nature, and the locals - all enchanting. If we weren't such weather wimps, we'd probably live in McCall year-round, but Southern California and the ocean makes a great combination with magical McCall.
We found this house on a beautiful spot in Rio Vista overlooking the Payette River. The original house was built by Corey Engen, the Olympic downhill medalist who was part of the group that started Brundage Mountain Ski area. He also developed the Rio Vista neighborhood and kept this lot for himself. A bit dated when we bought it, we loved it regardless, and family vacations were blissful.
Until the great fire.
An electrical fire started when we weren't there. After the initial shock and tears, the loss turned out to be a blessing. We were able to completely rebuild, redesigning the floor plan and adding on a luxurious master suite. It's so much more beautiful now. The forest around it didn't burn - we were so lucky. We put in a circular driveway and lots of custom features. Valerie used bronze tile from our art tile line in her floor and wall designs. We love the Craftsman style, using fine touches like quarter-sawn oak cabinets, Arts and Crafts lighting, and warm wall colors. Big log homes have their charms, but this has a special quality to it that feels cozy, warm, refined, and peaceful to us.
Qué distingue a esta propiedad
Being outdoors in the forest is so wonderful that we made part of the deck covered so we could go outside whatever the weather. Especially when it rains - we love to go out and watch the early summer downpours. We also wanted a protected outdoor eating area with a gas barbecue. Two steps down is a wide deck with neither roof nor high railings to block the view. We line up the chairs, feet on the rail, and toast our blessed life. One more tip: Morning coffee out there in a warm jacket is heavenly.
