There is only one U.S. destination Iâve considered moving to after my visit: McCall, Idaho. For someone who loves the vibrancy of the mountains as well as the relaxing aspects of water equally, McCall has it all. There was a cabin for rent, located right across the street from Payette Lake that had the Payette National Forest in the backyard and the surrounding mountains all around. To me, it felt like home.
Our visit started with a family reunion in Boise. My two sisters, our mother, and I made a side trip to McCall to relive an experience our mother had with her mother years before. As she did with her mother, we stopped at a farmerâs stand to purchase deep, luscious cherries to eat in the car on the way.
7 Gorgeous Secluded Getaways In Colorado

Colorado is filled with remote destinations scattered throughout the state. Depending on how remote youâd like to get, you can go deep into the mountains to stay in a cabin in the wilderness, or seek out one of the quaint towns to find small-town charm set in breathtaking locations, each with unique and remote lodging options.
For nearly 30 years my family, or sometimes I, solo, have traveled regularly to Colorado. The altitude, brisk mountain air, wildlife, hiking opportunities, and vibrant food choices bring us back time and again. Although the larger cities such as Denver, Colorado Springs, and even Boulder hold their unique charms, I find thereâs nothing more majestic than to explore the rugged and less-visited parts of Colorado.
