Weekend getaway from Boise: we headed up Highway 55 to McCall, Idaho, and stopped in Cascade on the way home.

The drive is half the fun. Highway 55 follows the Payette River most of the way up, and it's about two hours from the Treasure Valley if you don't stop (you'll want to stop). We stayed at Shore Lodge right on Payette Lake, spent Saturday morning at the McCall farmers market on Second Street, and closed out the night at the Narrows, where the menu leans on Idaho ingredients like Hailey lamb and local huckleberries.

On the way home we caught the Valley County Fair in Cascade, a town of about a thousand people. Pig judging, peach lemonade, a coffee shop inside a converted horse trailer, and a whole row of local makers. Small, and worth the drive.

McCall isn't a commute from Boise, but it's a good picture of what living here gets you access to on a normal weekend. If you're thinking about a move to Idaho, grab our free Relocation Guide.

Weekend Getaway from Boise: Our Trip to McCall, IdahoDon't forget...

09/29/2026

We took a weekend out of the Treasure Valley and headed north on Highway 55 to McCall, with a stop in Cascade on the way home. The road follows the Payette River almost the whole way, so give yourself more than the two hours it technically takes.

McCall sits on the south shore of Payette Lake, with Ponderosa State Park taking up the peninsula that pushes out into the middle of it. The elevation keeps the nights cool even in August, which surprises people who've only spent time in Boise. We stayed at Shore Lodge, walked over to the Saturday farmers market on Second Street, and closed things out with dinner at the Narrows. Then 30 minutes south to Cascade for the Valley County Fair: pig judging, peach lemonade, and a row of local makers we ended up talking to for an hour.

If you're planning to retire in Idaho or move here to be near the grandkids, this 55 and older community in Meridian deserves a close look. 🌳

Denise toured a 3 bedroom, 2 bath patio home with an office. It has 1,846 square feet on one level and sits right across from the community park, ponds, pathways, and clubhouse. It was built in 2015, and the sellers recently added new LVP flooring, new carpet, and fresh paint on the walls and trim, so you can move in without a to-do list.

The kitchen has granite counters, knotty alder accents, a five-burner gas range, and a butler's pantry for hosting. There's even a pantry with outlets built right into the shelves, so the coffee maker finally has a permanent spot. ☕ The primary bathroom has a tile shower with a built-in bench and grab bars, dual vanities, and a separate toilet room.

If you're coming from out of state, the video also covers the practical things: crawl space vs. slab, radon mitigation, and how pressurized irrigation works in Treasure Valley HOAs. HOA dues were $100 a month at the time of filming. Settlers Park, The Village at Meridian, the Meridian Senior Center, and indoor pickleball at The Flying Pickle are all close by.

If you're moving to Idaho and trying to picture how a mid-size Meridian new build lives day to day, this tour is a good place to start.

Robin Ledward walks you through a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,317 sq ft two-story with an open loft upstairs and a tandem garage bay. Along the way she points out two features a lot of out-of-state buyers haven't seen before. One is the conditioned crawl space found in many newer Idaho builds, where a fan keeps air moving under the home to help reduce the chance of moisture and mold. The other is that tandem bay, which works as storage, a workshop, a home business space, or parking for a smaller third vehicle.

In between you'll see the kitchen island with bar seating and a gas range, a laundry room with a folding counter, a bedroom with a window reading nook, and a primary suite with a soaking tub and double vanity.

The question isn’t “is now a good time to buy.” The question is “is now a good time to buy for me.” Every situation is different, and not everyone had the chance to buy when homes were under $100K.

The real job is figuring out whether a purchase is doable for you right now, at the payment you can actually carry, in a market that fits your life. That’s what a realtor is for.

Fall is officially here, and if your weekend needs a little more pumpkin in it, we have you covered. Here are five Treasure Valley patches worth a visit this season.

Lowe Family Farmstead in Kuna is home to Idaho’s original corn maze, with a new design every year. Cherry Hill Farms in Caldwell packs in tube slides, a straw bale maze, and farm animals. Over in Nampa, Shindig Farms grows more than 20 pumpkin varieties, and its straw maze turns spooky on October Saturday nights. Jordan’s Pumpkin Patch in Boise has free admission, and The Berry Ranch in Nampa takes you out to the field on a hayride to pick your own.

Which one is on your list this year? And if you’d love to live a little closer to all this fall fun, give us a call or click the link in our bio to get more info.
