Our family enjoyed the property and neighborhood. Walks in the neighborhood were enjoyable with the wildlife and friendly dogs. Very quiet and peaceful.
Great location and was perfect for me and a few mom friends to get away for a relaxing weekend. There were a couple housekeeping things that came up but nothing that affected our stay. We had a great time.
We stayed in this wonderful house for a second time while visiting family in McCall. If we come back again next year, we will most likely check to see if this house is available again. The location is wonderful and beautiful. Thank you!
Such a care free experience. Gorgeous property close to McCall with all the perks of staying in the country.
I loved the decor, the feel, the cleanliness, everything.
Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Idaho forever!
Home away from home. Had everything! they anticipated our needs! Clean! I would return.
We were very comfortable in the house, although we didn't understand the heating system. Directions were easy to follow, and the distance from downtown McCall was just right. Loved the drives on country roads to Little Payette Lake, around Payette Lake, through Ponderosa state park and to Roseberry.
I loved the mix of a cozy cabin feel with the open floor plan. I chose to sleep on in the loft bed just so that I could wake up to look out all the windows. If there was anything to complain about it would be that the kitchen was a little dated and not well organized, and the coffee machine needs replaced. Otherwise we all really enjoyed our stay.
This was a great place for our family of 5. The kitchen was well-stocked, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the books. Our teenagers loved the TV options, and my mother-in-law loved sitting on the deck. My only suggestion is to check the washer: it didn't seem to clean the clothes very well.

Cozy cabin with great views!
Lovely little cabin! Window views are beautiful (we observed Quail and deer). Not lots of privacy room wise here and steep stairs if you have little ones. This cabin is stocked well with necessities and even had toys available to use. The deck out back is roomy and has small table and chairs in which you can sit out back and enjoy the view and see stars at night. Perfect getaway cabin for a little family-we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful family cabin
Comfortable, clean cabin with big deck and yard. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Only thing I can "complain" about was having to keep grandchild off the white chair with her snacks lol. Not a great color for a rental but comfortable!! No neighbors on top of each other. Great for smaller family. We had 5 adults and a baby. My family really enjoyed their stay. Would rent this cabin again!

Average cabin
Overall, decent place if you are looking for a reasonably priced place to stay. Great location for outdoor activities, Mountains are right there. If you are looking for a cabin to be your base to stay while you're out doing outdoor activities all day then it works great. If you are looking for cabin to hang out and relax all day this is not the place to stay. Carpets are still stained and fridge handle is still broken. This place needs a fire pit and possibly a hot tub. I would stay here again, but I would not pay a lot to stay here.

Very nice mountain retreat!
I've stayed in many places in McCall, but this is a new favorite. It is the true "cabin in the woods" with beautiful mountain views, peace and quiet, a warm wood stove, and an open and sunny layout. For the price this place is amazing. The family loved it too! The only drawback is that it doesn't have a hot-tub. If they added one, this would be the true "dream retreat." Overall things were in great condition, with a few little/typical glitches, such as flaky hinges on one of the cabinet doors, and dead battery in garage remote. But apart from those, this was wonderful! I will stay here again!
