Idaho's Shore Lodge Resort and Spa is a Cool Summer Getaway
The quintessential mountain retreat, Shore Lodge features rich wood architecture, inviting fireplaces throughout, and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and expansive Payette Lake, which the resort sits on the sandy shores of. At just 77 rooms, the crowds are nonexistent, helping to create the perfect feeling of intimacy and elopement.

In summer 2011, the 1948-built property opened a full service luxury, spa The Cove. The crown-jewels of the space are the indoor/outdoor heated immersion pools that were handcrafted from 68,000 pounds of local granite boulders, capturing the spirit of Idaho in all seasons. The floor-to-ceiling glass wall that separates the pools can be opened to create a breathtaking open air space in the warmer months. In the winter, the outdoor immersion pool is a red-hot refuge nestled inside a winter wonderland.

The immersion pools at The Cove were built to emulate Idaho's acclaimed natural hot springs, a number of which are within a short jaunt from Shore Lodge. For guests who want to get away from their getaway, a trip to Gold Fork, Zims, or the most peaceful of them all, Burgdorf Hot Springs, provide a soothing soak amidst McCall's natural beauty. These springs are surrounded by the Payette Lake National Forest, providing privacy of the towering pines that surround the peaceful meadow lands and multiple pools. Burgdorf is only accessible by snowmobile or cross country ski in the winter – both of which can be arranged by Shore Lodge – creating and adventurous day trip with a worthwhile reward.

The Cove also offers calming massage, body and facial treatments utilizing all organic products in one of six treatment rooms, created from natural materials meant to feel as though they were carved out of the surrounding mountains. An awakening peppermint pedicure or seasonal manicure tops off the day in The Cove's salon as guests get ready for an evening of fine dining and a glass of wine overlooking the pristine Lake.
