Shore Lodge
"This 77-suite lodge is an upscale naturalist’s dream, situated right on glacier-fed Lake Payette, a protected state park. The Salmon River Mountains envelope the horizon, and the resort has an impressive array of biking paths, hiking trails and even a few hot springs at your disposal. The resort, first opened in 1948, has seen several bouts of renovations, and include the addition of a world-class, rustic The Cove spa with outdoor and indoor saltwater immersion pools. You’ll get a warm and cozy vibe in the spa lobby itself, built with pine logs that run from floor to ceiling. The true locavore might indulge in an elk and smoked mushroom plate at The Narrows Steakhouse, or cozy up at a bar whose signature drink, The Huckletini, is a nod to locally-grown huckleberries (i.e. bear food)."
