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.

—(Alder & Antler does NOT have central AC; the loft has a mini-split with AC)—

Alder & Antler feels like the kind of cabin you remember from childhood trips—hand‑hewn logs, a roaring pellet stove, the smell of pine on the porch, and quiet starry nights. It’s authentic, cozy, and tucked close to the lakes, mountains, and woods that make McCall feel like a pocket of timeless Idaho.

•2 BEDROOMS
-Primary Bedroom (upstairs): King bed + full ensuite bath (the primary suite is an open loft with no door that looks down over the living room, just like an old‑school cabin. It’s cozy and full of charm, but sound and light do travel, so keep that in mind if you’re planning for early risers, late‑night chats, or extra‑quiet mornings)
--Bunkroom (main floor): Queen‑over‑Queen bunk (these are cozy quarters and designed as a space to simply rack out--while this room has beds to sleep four, it's a tight fit for more than 2 adults plus provisions/luggage--be sure to take a look at the photos and make sure it works for your crew)

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.

Self check‑in is standard; we send access instructions three days before arrival.

We kindly ask that you review your cancellation policy carefully before booking. To keep things fair and consistent for all guests, we follow the cancellation terms agreed to at the time of booking and are not able to make exceptions (including for but not limited to event cancellations, illness, surgery, weather (including regional forest fire smoke and low snowfall), changes in travel plans, etc.). For added peace of mind, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to help protect your trip against unexpected situations. Any refunds issued will be minus credit card processing fees.
