Luxury Idaho Winter Getaways

Experience some of Idaho’s most fabulous scenery and adventures this winter! Cold weather doesn’t have to mean hunkering down at home and counting down the days until summer—especially in Idaho! You don’t have to go far or spend too much to enjoy exceptional service, delectable dining, and luxurious accommodations. Check out these blissful destinations and elevated experiences. 

1. McCall’s Shore Lodge - Set on pristine Payette Lake, The Shore Lodge has been named Idaho’s #1 Luxury Hotel many years in a row. A popular summer destination, this is also one of our favorite winter getaways. The upscale mountain chalet decor and large, open-flame fireplaces throughout set the scene for a remarkable experience. Stay for a weekend and ski at Brundage, only 10 minutes away. Book a delightful spa service and enjoy the use of the hotel pool & hot tub. Or just stop in for a cocktail served at their gorgeous bar overlooking the lake and distant mountains. The moment you're welcomed by their doormen donning black cowboy hats, you'll feel special, relaxed, and inspired.

With live music, outdoor fire pits and free s’mores, multiple casual eateries, coffee shops, and fine-dining establishments, there is something for every level of investment. The spa at Tamarack provides the ultimate luxury experience, and pass holders receive a discount for services! 

3. Idaho Hot Springs - While you’re in McCall or Cascade, consider a luxurious dip in one of the local hot springs! Gold Fork Hot Springs is tucked away off the beaten path and features several natural pools and private areas for soaking. Or make your way to Burgdorf Hot Springs just north of Payette Lake for an extra special treat. Accessible by snowmobile in the winter months, this rustic, historic resort is surrounded by pine trees and mountain views. Day passes run around $20 per guest, and reservations are required.
