One of the most popular winter activities is the Elk Feeding Sleigh Ride!

You’ll even get a chance to feed the elk! The Ashley Inn is also located around a half-hour from the Activity Barn in McCall, where you can enjoy tube sledding together with the family or sled for free at the nearby sled run at the Lake Cascade Golf course. Lake Cascade, an impressive 30,000 acres, is Idaho’s 4th largest lake and offers an excellent experience in ice-fishing. If you’re looking for something more relaxing, natural hot springs are just 20 minutes from the inn, located in the middle of the forest. They are cleaned each day so you can unwind and let your muscles soak to your heart’s content!
Return to the inn after all that excitement and unwind with warm cookies and milk every night at eight.
