Originally built in the 1970’s, Scandia Inn was inspired by some of the original Finnish homesteaders to the McCall area. Many of the original architecture in McCall, as well as events like the winter carnival, had roots in this Finnish heritage. 

Built by Knut Sjoberg, the original owner in the 1970’s, The Scandia Inn was designed as a replica of the mountain ski cabins that dot the Scandinavian mountainside and much of McCall Idaho.  Built with timbers from the very heart of Mccall, every log tells a story of this tranquil Mountain town.

The Hiltons took over ownership in the early 90’s and continued the Scandinavian culture of welcoming people from all around the world.  For 30 years they have flown the flags of Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland and the US as a reminder that all are welcome at The Scandia Inn.  With love and care, they hand sewed every tapestry, carved every sign, and hand made every quilt.  From the lamp shades, to the art work, to the care they've shown every guest, the Hiltons put their heart and soul into making The Scandia Inn a home away from home for our many travelers year after year.  

Today the tradition continues.  The new owners took over in November of 2018 with the vision of restoring the originally inspired Scandinavian Mountain design while preserving and maintaining the home away from home experience of this boutique mountain inn.  Inspired by years of family memories made in this alpine lake town, our goal is to provide a lodging experience that is as unique and inspiring as the town around it.  

Come stay at the Scandia Inn and walk to beautiful Payette Lake, local restaurants, shopping and activities.  Make the Scandia Inn your home base for snow and summer sports alike.
