What it feels like to stay here
Shore Lodge stands on the Payette Lake shoreline at 501 West Lake Street in McCall, Idaho, where 77 spacious guest suites come with balconies and walk-out beach access to the water. Established in 1948, the lodge was built to reflect the casual elegance, natural beauty, and mountain adventure of McCall. Conde Nast voted this lakefront resort hotel and marina Best in the West in 2022, and preferred access to it is an exceptional Whitetail Club member benefit. A day can be shaped around the private beach, heated swimming pool, hot tub, movie theater, marina access, event facilities, and rentals of non-motorized sports equipment. Dinner choices run from The Narrows Steakhouse, billed as the definitive Idaho steakhouse with an award-winning collection of more than 450 wines, to The Cutwater on Payette Lake at any hour and The Bar for cocktails. The property also holds the Mercantile, described as a uniquely Idaho boutique, plus a coffee shop. Beyond the lodge itself, Whitetail Club membership reaches the Clubhouse, golf course, Fish & Swim Club, the Marina, the Tennis & Fitness Center, trails, the Yurt, and the Cove. Members receive discounts on rack rates, which makes hosting friends or staging an event at the lodge more enjoyable. Because the lodge functions as a natural extension of the club, arranging a stay through Whitetail Club's own Shore Lodge pages keeps guests tied to that club experience.
