Great getaway
All the comforts of home! Clean, cozy, and quiet! Loved the fireplace and cabin decor. The dog door to a fenced-in dog run was a definite plus. Close to downtown McCall and a tubbing hill right around the corner made for family fun.
This place is everything a mountain cabin should be! Well over a foot of snow fell over our week-end stay. We were peacefully holed up in the coziest cabin I have ever been in. You are surrounded by gorgeous wood floors, walls, ceiling and countertops. There is a wood stove with all the wood you could ever burn available, blankets galore, and space heaters if those aren't enough. The lay out makes coming and going a breeze. The internet service is amazing. It is whimsically decorated throughout making each space an adventure in and of itself. We had our two dogs with us who relished the door door and contained outdoor run. We will be looking forward to a return visit for sure!
First impression was frankly a shock when first drove up. The exterior is littered with debris, rotting tree house, an old rusting pickup truck parked under the back deck. None of this was shown in the posting pictures. Inside, we discovered dirty floors, filthy bathtub, soiled bedding, only one sheet of a paper towel ( not a roll ), towels in the dryer, cobwebs on the fixtures and a cracked window that had been temporarily covered by cellophane tape. Towels were found still inside the dryer. The lack of cleaning andan additional shock. Def not rental ready by VRBO standards. Left message with local mgr, went to store and purchased cleaning supplies. Cleaned for the first 4 hours to make it tolerable. We contacted local and central VRBO mgmt teams. Other than offering to come in and do a quick “wipe down” on the second day, no assistance or other response was forthcoming.
The interior decor of the cabin is eclectic and filled with curios and diverse things. For those that enjoy old antique stores, you’ll enjoy this decor. Our young grandchildren thought it was fun. The air hockey on the 2nd floor was a big hit with the kids.
Overall, it was a disappointment for us. It was a chore keeping young kids from trying to climb into a broken down and rotting tree house along with piles of wood and slash around the property. Its a safety hazard. Not kid safe!
Sadly, I don’t like giving low reviews. But this rental was the worst in our many years of renting places
Nice house. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults, 4 children. Appreciated all the amenities and kitchen items available. Easy short walk to river access.
The cabin fit our stay in McCall well. The house was well stocked . In a nice neighborhood. The decor could be updated. The outside and yard area needs to be maintained so that you can use the yard. The house does have a fenced in area for dogs which was unusable.

I wish we would have been prepared for mosquito territory. The cabin is situated right in the prime area for bites. Overall we had a nice stay but it was a tight squeeze for our group of ten. Cabin is older but has a lot of charm.

Quiet time in woods
Peaceful, cozy, quiet. Fun with our 4 grandchildren 20-25 yrs old. Lots of games.
Nice quiet place. We enjoyed our stay. Plentiful wood to burns and nice house. Refrigerator is a little outdated but works fine just makes a nice humm to keep you entertained.

Rustic & Quaint but Dang those Mosquitos!
This place accommodated 10 of us quite well, from a two-year-old to a couple of septuagenarians. The morning view from the deck is peaceful and there are plenty of quirky artifacts in the cabin to keep one entertained and reminiscing. The hosts were very accommodating for pets and even have a doggy door to the deck, which can be gated off. (Great feature!)Pros: Plenty of bed space and bathroom options; great space for gathering for morning coffee and breakfast; nicely stocked with dishes and utensils/cookware. TV options were ample; really great pet setup!Cons: Mosquitos were *terrible* especially in the evening (no opportunity to enjoy the deck or walk about late in the day); the cabin's vaulted ceiling is dramatic but the lack of insulation (typical of cabin construction) makes for every movement upstairs heard in the downstairs bedroom (problematic for a downstairs light sleeper). Summary: this home was fun to hang out in and served its purpose adequately for a family gathering to attend a wedding. However, due to the mosquito problem alone we would look for a different option were we to have a do-over.
