Perched at the northern end of Cascade Lake on the edge of a working ranch directly adjacent to BLM land, this beautifully secluded cabin delivers mountain and valley views, hundreds of acres of private land to explore, and direct access to the Payette River (3/4 miles down the road) for fishing and wading on warm summer days, all while keeping you just seven miles from Donnelly and 18 miles from McCall when civilization calls.
