Winter get Away in the Mountains

Snow was huge factor accessing the house but once inside it was lovely. VRBO promptly responsive to issues with exterior lighting and snow in front of garage. Very cozy and access to McCall area delights was perfect whether driving or on foot.

Loved the location

Nicely remodeled home and quiet location. Only suggestions would be a garage door opener and the front entrance was unusable because of snow. Parking was limited also due to snow.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed this home. We will pass along the feedback regarding the garage door opener to our local manager. As for the snow, our local staff works hard to plow the passageways prior to each reservation. However, continuous snowfall is to be expected during this time of year. A snow shovel is provided in the garage for the convenience of our guests. We hope to host you again!

Base for weekend in McCall

The cabin was just right for our needs. Accessible to downtown, a quiet space to decompress between activities. The interior has been nicely update and maintained. The stairs to the second floor are a little steep as has been noted in other reviews, but were not a problem for us. The kitchen is well stocked. We had a slight hiccup getting access to the unit because someone had locked the door knob as well as the deadbolt, but the Vacasa team was very responsive and we were able to get inside with very little delay. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Nice place, good location for shopping

This house met our expectations. However, we arrived right at the 4 pm checkin on a cold January day. The thermostat was set at 55 degrees and it hours to warm to a comfortable temperature. There is a woodstove with one large log provided, so I went to the local Maverick and bought two wood bundles, which helped. The remainder of our stay was comfortable.

Snowmobile Trip

My family and I stayed at the Vacasa. It was a very nice, clean, comfortable house. We were able to cook meals and enjoy the beautiful property. My little one got to sled down the hill/ street using their sled. We saw many deer walking around. It was beautiful! My only complaint is that they have very cheap toilet paper and paper towels along with watered down hand soap. We ended up buying the good stuff ourselves. Other than that, it was a great place to stay!

Good but not great.

The house was very clean and updated. Good, quiet location. On downside, it was not supplied well. Only had 3 towels for 5 people—had to go out and buy more. Had to buy trash bags and toilet paper. Drain in bathtub very slow. We liked home, but could have enjoyed experience more with few tweaks.

Nice home for small family in wooded setting

Property was mostly clean but poorly stocked with dishwasher soap, dish soap, etc. The kitchen had no potholders, dish towels or dish rags. We had to go to the grocery store where we spent nearly $20 on 2 potholders and a pack of bar cloths. Furniture was clean and comfortable. Only one full bath was inconvenient for four adults but not a show stopper. The deck and backyard were nice and we enjoyed the hammock. We also used the bikes which were in good condition. Garage was clean and parking was more than adequate. A garage door opener would have been helpful. Would probably consider this property again.

Ruined our vacation

My husband is livid, haven't had a vacation in 5 years. Went up on the first evening and as I got there they were still cleaning the place, it was not cleaned well. Dog hair on the couch and it smelled of dog and black hairs in the sheet of the downstairs bed, we had to finish up the laundry, and BED BUGS in the upstairs bed, I was bitten on my feet and ankles. (I have pictures of the bites on me, plus the larve of the bed bugs from the mattresses) .I will be requesting a refund as we could not stay at the premises.
