With the shores of Payette Lake just a few blocks away and downtown McCall within two miles, your inviting home away from home has it all. Outdoor enthusiasts will have a field day thanks to the plethora of activities available nearby. Go horseback riding at Ya-Hoo Corrals, sailing and stand-up paddle boarding at Payette Lake, whitewater rafting at Riggins on the Salmon River, mountain biking and hiking at Ponderosa State Park, or swimming at Davis Beach. During the colder months, hit the slopes at Brundage Mountain Resort and Jug Mountain or rent a snowmobile and take your own scenic tours of the area.

After exciting days out and about, step inside and unwind in the comfortable living area. Start up the fireplace for a cozy ambience and watch your favorite streaming service on the smart TV or head out to the well-equipped kitchen to prepare anything from a light snack to entire meals for the group to enjoy. During the warmer months, take advantage of the gas grill to sear your meals to perfection. Indulge in your hearty meals indoors or dine alfresco to feel the crisp Idaho air on your face. While outside, go for lovely expeditions on the water, courtesy of the two provided kayaks, whenever you like. For some friendly competition, take out one of the included board games or head out to the garage for some Ping-Pong, foosball, badminton, or air hockey. In winter, end your days here by the firepit outside roasting s'mores and gazing at the stars before heading back inside and blissfully falling asleep in one of the bedrooms.

Weekend Getaway
The cabin was super cute and clean. I felt like the owners thought of every detail. We were excited to see they had cornhole but bags were missing so we were unable to use them. It was not advertised to include cornhole. We had a ton of fun with all the amenities! Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Frustrated and cold
We rented for the hot tub after skiing. We arrived after driving 7 plus hours with a broken hot tub. We were never notified. The house was dirty (I have photos and sent them to the management company and no one responded) the house was extremely cold and we tried everything to heat it up. Several heaters did not work and we used the oven and a fire to get warm. A man was sent with a space heater from Vacasa. With not one tool we barely got it together so it would work, and the two times we spoke on the phone, he was rude. We cleaned up really well and left this morning

Great Escape for the Holidays
We booked here over Thanksgiving and it ended up being a great time! The house was clean and comfortable with all of the necessary items in the kitchen. It took us a minute to figure out the heat, but we managed to get it nice and warm for the family. I do think there may be a leak or service needed on the hot tub as the water level was low enough that we didn't use the jets. Overall though, this was an excellent stay and one we will keep on our list!

The place was dirty. Smelled like cleaning solution was used extensively to cover pet urine smell. Garbage disposal, washing machine, and tv in bedroom did not work. Knew about the washing machine, runner tried to fix tv.There was very little toilet paper and paper towels, was rectified by manager when informed. Light outside master bd door was useless. Would not recommend staying here.

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty…
Both the showers had hair in the drain. The master bath smelled like mildew. The master bedroom reeked like pet urine. We closed the master bedroom door to keep the odor in the back half of the house. We did not use the back half of the house. (I hope the sheets were washed). The washing machine was broken (and per reviews last year, the washing machine was broken then). The ice maker was broken. The hot tub leaked and needed to be refilled regularly. There was only two rolls a toilet paper for a 7 day visit. We had a hornets living in the interior of the hot tub. The garbage disposal was broken. They did send someone out to spray the hornets and offered to send out a carpet cleaner. BUT WE PAID A FORTUNE IN FEES and don’t want to deal with maintenance people. This is the dirtiest VBRO we have ever rented.

Great, quirky house.
The house is really nice (much bigger kitchen & living room than the pictures make it look) with some great amenities. The deck is great and shaded in the afternoon heat, the hot tub and yard are nice to have as well. The master bedroom was beyond spacious, and very comfortable! The garage was messy with random tools and odds and ends, but we never really used it. The house has some odd quirks though. The master bathroom fixtures are SHORT (our 4 year old could reach the faucet flat-footed and I had to hunch to wash my hands) and the very cool rock shower has a window looking out on…the bed. The light switches are just bizarre: they are different heights on the wall, the one in the guest bedroom doesn’t do anything, the switch just inside the master bedroom door turns on the lights on the far side of the room while the switch by the bathroom turns on the lights near the door, etc. That being said, none of the quirks outweighed the great aspects of the house!

Pleasant Stay, But Needs Improvement
Pros: - Easy check-in - Close to town - Great master bdrm Cons: - Cleanliness concerns - Not as described - Deferred maintenance The check in process was great, straightforward; loved the text and email communication with lockbox code. Also, the tvs, soundbars, cable boxes, etc are not user friendly, but Vacasa responded within 24 hours to try to assist in getting things up and running for our stay. The property lacked cleanliness, maintenance, and was not as described: - Overflowing exterior trash can that animals spread everywhere the first night we were there, dirty barbecue to use, mushrooms going in the master shower, hot tub water had lots of floaties, bed sheets had pet hair embedded in them, etc.. - The outdoor and indoor games had many missing, broken, moldy pieces, the hot tub jets and filtration system appeared broken, excess wires and cabling all over the exterior of the home that should be cleaned up for safety and esthetics. - The property description states it comfortably sleeps 8 adults, with 1 king, 1 queen, 1 double, and two twins. This is inaccurate; there is 1 king, 1 queen, and 1 bunk bed with a double and twin. It would "comfortably" sleep 4 adults and 3 children at best. All things considered, I would stay again, but not at the same cost; it was nearly 1k total for 3 nights and definitely wasn't worth that.

Wonderful home in a great location.
This house was perfect for our little post covid family reunion. We took advantage of the hot tub, horseshoes, ping pong and foosball tables and the fire pit. The master shower was definitely a highlight, too. The property managers were prompt and efficient in adding more water to the hot tub when we asked. There was plenty of room for all five of us and our dog, the master bedroom is huge!

Over all experience
Arrived and checked out hot tub, green and slimy was not very happy, called company to put a order in for someone to check hot tub and make sure safe. Could not get any tv to work no sound either so that was very stressful. Next morning had to call again about hot tub, guy come very nice and shocked tub was told it was dirty!!!! He finally got to going for us. Washing machine stopped mid cycle, dishwasher stopped mid cycle. Lighter for fireplace empty finally found another one... seem to be lots of issues.

Worked great for what we needed
This property was a great size and was well stocked. The cleaning could be a little more extensive (cob webs and dust along the ceilings), and the carpet in the master had several stains. The master and bunk bed had very firm mattresses, so we woke up a little more sore than usual, but that just made the hot tub even more enjoyable. Since this place is extremely close to my family’s cabin, we would probably stay here again. Hopefully some adjustments could be made.

Not Impressed
We visit McCall multiple times every winter to enjoy the snowmobiling and winter activities. We rent different houses each trip. This place has potential to be great but doesn’t seem to be well taken care of and is not worth paying $$$ night after fees. When we arrived we were shoveling snow out the pathway to the front porch, shoveling to get to the wood pile so we could get wood, the pathway to the garage with the ping pong table was not shoveled out and this was 4 days after the last McCall snow. The ping pong table was covered with dust and garbage, one of the overhead doors to the garage was broken and open to the outside so ping pong table wasn’t usable. The other bay in the garage had 4’ of snow in front and was inaccessible. We were told we could park a vehicle in the garage but when we arrived we couldn’t. The house has a nice fire place but when we went to get fire wood, after shoveling a pathway to the wood, we found a broken ax so we had no way to make kindling. There were light bulbs out, one of the bedroom lights did not turn on when you hit the switch, cracked glasses in the kitchen cabinets, no grill available, no outside fire place accessibility when there is snow. The walk in shower fixture was about ready to fall off the wall. The Master Bedroom, double-glass door that is the primary route to the hot tub and the main egress from the bedroom in case of emergency. This door was pinched tight from the snow load on the roof and was extremely hard to open. My wife could not open the door to hot tub. All this and to top it off the outdoor garbage bin was full and critters had gotten into the garbage so we got to clean up someone else’s garbage and had nowhere to put our garbage on our vacation. All in all we made the best of it but for 4 nights and for the investment, it was disappointing. We hope that VRBO will make it right!

Great location
Location is great, house is very functional, large garage and half circle driveway are awesome for parking vehicles and snowmobile trailers. Hot tub is great. Dog friendly! Would have given it a five rating if there hadn’t been some burned out light bulbs and missing hot tub head rests. I would recommend a larger ax or splitting maul for chopping kindling wood and some newspaper for easier fire starting in the fireplace. We enjoyed our stay! Thanks!
