“Staying here felt like waking up in a fairytale. I could not have imagined a better place to enjoy time reuniting with friends. This stunning lakefront cabin has great character—loved the art and small touches. It is spotless, and thoughtfully set up for guests with everything you’d need for a short or long stay and feels like a beloved home, not a rental. We’d move in if we could, and for sure, we will go back.”

“I had the most amazing stay with my family at the Front Cabin. The interior is warm, inviting, and full of character — every detail speaks to its rich history. And the lakefront access is second to none, offering everything from peaceful morning coffee views to unforgettable afternoons swimming, paddling, and soaking up the mountain air. Truly a special place.”

“Along with many adventures in the surrounding area, I also enjoyed a lovely afternoon lounging on the patio bench swing reading a book. The view out across Payette Lake, carved by glaciers 10,000 years ago, to Ponderosa State Park is an iconic snapshot in time. I could imagine the site as though I were one of the first settlers to arrive. That The Front Cabin is surrounded by majestic pines only added to my experience. If you are looking for serenity with access to a wealth of outdoor activities, I highly recommend The Front Cabin. This was an exceptional and memorable experience!”
