Here’s Why Planners are Choosing Shore Lodge for Their Corporate Meeting Retreats
Here at Shore Lodge, we offer guests seeking relaxation and adventure an idyllic, authentic lodging experience in one stunning location. While many flock to our lodge from all over for an exceptional vacation experience, did you know that we also specialize in corporate events and meeting retreats? Shore Lodge offers upscale accommodations and direct access to over 5,000 acres of majestic mountains, lush forests, and crystal-clear glacier waters, making it the perfect location for your next corporate event.
Location & Accessibility Are Key
Located a scenic two-hour drive north of Idaho’s three biggest cities–Boise, Meridian, and Nampa–drive along the Payette River Scenic Byway (Highway 55) to McCall, where our lakefront property awaits. This breathtaking route features picturesque mountain peaks, serene valleys, and rippling rivers, making it all a part of the experience to get to Shore Lodge. Stop along the way to stretch your legs and take advantage of the photo opportunities. See for yourself why the Payette River Scenic Byway earned its designation as one of the 184 national scenic byways in the country.
Unique Meeting Spaces to Accommodate Corporate Events up to 300
Shore Lodge’s expansive facilities total over 15,000 square feet of meeting space spread across fourteen unique venue options with the latest technology set in comfortable spaces. Our expertly designed venues invite creativity and collaboration, perfect for productive meetings beyond what you can achieve in the typical boardroom.
We are well-equipped to accommodate small to medium-sized groups and events with venue spaces ranging from our 2,900 square foot, 300-seat Upper Pavilion, which features the most spectacular floor-to-ceiling views of Payette Lake, to our smaller, more intimate Steelhead Room, which fosters connection between colleagues and clients.
For those who prefer to mix business with pleasure, we host meetings and breakout sessions in our in-house theater – which has a Pro Cinema 4k enhanced projector, a cutting-edge Slate projection screen, and a Dolby Atmos 11.2 sound system, all built for maximum impact presentations.
Eat Like a Local with Our Varied Catering Options
Consider hosting a meeting that takes advantage of our top-tier catering options in our private dining room or our fine-dining restaurant, The Narrows Steakhouse. Shore Lodge values high-quality local ingredients and partners such as Boise-based Snake River Farms to source regional Wagyu beef.
With the help of a healthy and hearty meal, your team will have the energy to boost creativity and productivity during your corporate planning meetings. Choose from small bites to promote socialization or plan a full-fledged formal affair.
We have designed themed breakouts, such as Whiskey Tasting and Trivia Games at the theater.
We offer fantastic breakfast options for the early birds to start their day on the right foot. Nothing says corporate like a power lunch. Satisfy your team’s cravings with hors d’oeuvres, sandwiches and wraps, and three-course plated lunches. We’ll plan a fabulous, formal spread for dinner meetings to entertain your potential clients, holiday parties, or corporate milestones. You and your group definitely will not go hungry at Shore Lodge.
Take Your Adventure Outside of the Boardroom
In recent years, employees have increasingly aimed for work-life integration, seeking flexible arrangements and remote work to eliminate commute time and gain more control over their schedules. As this trend gains more popularity among new and older generations in the workforce, Shore Lodge is perfectly suited for those striving to blend their personal and work lives.
Offering everything you need to work effectively on property, from unique venue spaces to hold workshops to private dining settings to discuss company goals to cozy spots throughout the lodge for you to log in and be productive, Shore Lodge offers everything you need to work hard followed by a play (or relax) hard lifestyle.
We pride ourselves on providing the best for our guests – and that starts with our world-class amenities, from our outdoor heated pools and fitness studio to our valet parking and guest shuttle. After 5pm, your employees can book an adventure in luxury with a spa treatment at The Cove or turn to nature’s grandeur and hike through Ponderosa State Park, make a splash at Payette Lake, or hit the slopes of Brundage Mountain.
Hit the Refresh Button with a Springtime Corporate Meeting Event at Shore Lodge
Shore Lodge is an incredible, year-round destination for corporate retreats and vacations, but the upcoming spring season is ideal for a company-wide reset as we enter into Q2. Wrap up Q1 and enter into the next phase of the year with a decompressing, relaxing company excursion to McCall, Idaho, where your workers will rest, refresh, and relax – allowing for enhanced creativity to flow through your team.
