Regardless of the season, weddings and adventures in McCall are magical. Summer lends itself to waterfront activities on Payette Lake. Autumn’s crisp air provides the ideal time to hike Ponderosa State Park, where you can immerse yourself in the vivid colors of the changing leaves. Winter calls all ski enthusiasts to shred some snow on Brundage Mountain. And when the snow begins to melt, spring invites you to soak in one of the various local hot springs that call McCall home. Whether you’re declaring ‘I Do’ in the peak of summer for a sun-kissed celebration or with a snow-draped winter wonderland, the Gem State offers various pursuits you and your girls can experience together and cherish for a lifetime.

After countless months of meticulous wedding planning, treat the bridal party and indulge in a much-needed mountain-luxury spa day at The Cove. Looking for a clarifying facial for glowing skin on your special day? Seeking a soothing massage to calm the pre-wedding jitters? Or a refreshing body treatment that’ll leave your body silky smooth from head to toe? The Cove’s got it all. And after completing your 50-minute spa treatment, escape and enjoy up to two hours of serenity in our saltwater immersion pools. Choose between basking in the beauty of nature or relishing in the calm indoor pool. The best part? Sharing this pampering retreat with your girlfriends.
