Payette Lake Getaway: Private Dock & Deck
A Secluded Lakefront Sanctuary on Payette Lake, Your Private Dock, Your Own Slice of Paradise
If you've ever dreamed of waking up to the glassy morning surface of a mountain lake just steps from your door, this stunning property on the northwestern shore of Payette Lake is exactly what you've been looking for. Peaceful, private, and beautifully appointed, this secluded retreat is the perfect escape for a small family or a group of friends who want to spend their days living on the water and their evenings unwinding in style.

When you're ready to come inside, the well-appointed kitchen is fully equipped for whatever meals you have in mind, and the comfortable living area, warmed by a cozy wood stove, is the ideal spot to curl up with a good book as the lake shimmers outside the window.
