Beautiful resort. My mom claims it was originally built as part of a movie set for an Alfred Hitchcock flick. On my mother%26#39;s advice, my fiancee and I checked out North by Northwest hoping to see the lodge...to no avail. Was my mother dreaming? If not, which movie was the original lodge in?
Thank you for any help you can give us.

Whitetail Club
This may be a little delayed..
The Whitetail Club was first called the Shore Lodge, here is a bit of history:
In 1938, Hollywood came to McCall. Northwest Passage was filmed on Payette Lake and the surrounding area. Robert Young, Spencer Tracy, and Walter Brennan stayed in the area during filming. The Forts were built using Brown Lumber. The current Girl Scout Camp had a ';fort'; and east of the Shore Lodge were stables built for the horses used in the film. About 900 people, many from the area, were paid $5. 00 a day to star as extras, or to help build sets.

I just ran across this post by accident and will add one thing. The movie itself was filmed at the far north end of Payette Lake. I miss Mccall!
