We decided to leave the Dallas rat race and explore the nature in Idaho. The house is exactly as described. So nice! We felt off the grid with a magnificent view while also having wifi, a hot tub, washer and dryer and all the amenities of home....
We took suggestions from Lisa and we are so glad we did. I had the best pork sandwich of my life at The Intersection in New Meadows. (That's high praise from a 6th generation Texan). We also enjoyed a lovely dinner on the lake at Shore Lodge in McCall. It was delightful.
We found the house to be a wonderful place to lounge and relax after a fun day of hiking and kayaking.
Thank-you so much for offering your home on VRBO so that others may enjoy the fruits of your labor.
It was just what we were looking for in a quick get away!
10.0 / 10.0
This place is incredible. You are extremely secluded but still only a few minutes from good food and drink. The cabin overlooks a breathtaking meadow out to the mountains. Highly recommend The Intersection bar and grill for dinner and the Granite Mountain cafe for breakfast. When you are ready to start exploring just head up 95 and you will surely find it at Pittsburg Landing and Seven Devil’s Rd. If you are looking for something closer head to Brundage Mountain for a gondola ride and some mountain biking or hiking in the summer. The restaurant there is great when you are ready to relax. All in all this cabin is the best place to stay to be away from people but centrally located for some fun!

This was the getaway my family needed. My dad grew up on a ranch just a few miles away and with a similar view of the valley. He loved being able to stay in this area. The house is a charming blend of Texas and Northwest ambiance. The host was immediately responsive to any question and gave suggestions to help enjoy the stay. The house was more than adequately stocked with the basic supplies. I will be back with my husband. My favorite VRBO experience to date!

We stayed the 1st week of June.
The meadow was green and the area was beautiful. We heard the cows during the day, the coyotes at night & the turkeys in the early morning. This is an absolutely beautiful & peaceful place.
We stayed last in Dec of 2022 when there was 3' of snow. This was a different kind of beautiful!
The hosts are quick to answer any questions and are wonderful to work with. The house is well equipped, comfortable, the TV is great, but the best of all is the view. The sunsets are amazing!
We look forward to coming again. Next time maybe the fall with those lovely fall colors. This is definitely a place you can come back again & again.
Thank you to Lisa & Thomas.
We will be back! Lee & Rhonda (Boise)

The cabin is a warm and comfortable home in a beautiful, serene setting. It was perfect for my solo retreat to rest and recover after a hectic stretch of work. The communication and check-in/check-out process was seamless. I would return in a heartbeat if I have the opportunity.

The owners Tom and Lisa were very helpful. We had a few questions before we set up our stay and they answered everything very promptly. It's a very Nice cozy place. It is a short distance to New Meadows or McCall. Well stocked for everything we needed. Enjoyed lots of wildlife around the cabin, and the view of the valley was my go-to place to sit and and relax. We enjoyed the Fall Foliage on a couple of drives we took by Brundage Ski Area. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us. We'll be back. Stew and Cathy R

A short distance from New Meadows or McCall, you turn off the highway, travel a mile or two through the meadow, turn up the hill switchbacking up through the trees, down the driveway to the cabin and wonderful view.
Welcome to your piece of Heaven for your next few days!
The cabin is beautifully designed and decorated. Everything is high quality from the oh-so-comfortable leather recliners to the kitchen appliances to the sinks, tile shower, bed, heating systems, lighting, etc... I love the western motif. It is an Idaho cabin with a touch of Texas!
We went into McCall one day for a bit of shopping and dinner, otherwise we stayed at the cabin. The view from inside and out is lovely, the hot tub was perfect and private and we loved the sunsets. No neighbors for miles. And quiet? Only a distant coyote could be heard every now and then.
We cooked, ate, played cards, caught up on our computers with the fast internet service and were thrilled to find the TV had full Direct TV with access to all the football games. You could even record which was a great addition unlike most vacation rentals.
I had a couple of questions for the host, I texted & Lisa was great to answer promptly. She was very sweet to put up with a few of my questions. I guess I'm not a "tech-savvy' as I thought. It really is a "Smart House"!
We stayed in the winter when there was at least 2' of snow. We are eager to come back in the spring or fall to enjoy the deck and view even more!
Thank you Tom & Lisa for sharing this wonderful cabin with us. We will be back!

This cabin is a gem for getting away from the busyness of life. It feels remote and isolated, surrounded by beautiful scenery but, is in fact just a short drive to McCall and Brundage Ski Resort. This little cabin is a cozy retreat with all the amenities for a relaxing after your days activities. Lisa and Tom are excellent hosts and provided recommendations for area events while we were there. This is a new favorite and we will definitely be back.

The road climbs ito the trees from a valley filled with cows. There were planned burns adding puffs of smoke to the area at sunset. The sun obscured by the clouds of the recent snow. Then, we exit the car to a view that couldn't be more pristine.
We enter the house through the garage, kick off our shoes to the heated floor, pour a glass of wine, and relaxe to the view through huge glass doors. Oops, maybe we should empty the car.
After settling in, we prepped and ate a nice dinner. The house has quality pots, pans, and cooking utensils. We wrapped up the first day in the hot tube watching the glow of the planned burns across the way.
We enjoyed 5 more days of the same relaxation. Note, there is 4G service and solid wifi if you need to connect to the world.
We will be back. Great location and hosts.

Summer Vacation
This property is absolutely fantastic! The location is out of the way in the foothills of New Meadows but close enough to town and over to McCall. The sunsets were incredible with chirping birds and chipmunks along with a deer sighting or two. The house is perfect and just as the pictures show - super clean, well decorated and cozy. Amenities a plenty, including an air compressor for a flat tire fix on our UTV :) !!!
Looking forward to our next time in New Meadows! Thanks

We loved this property and the hosts are incredible!
We were looking for a winter get away and this property was perfect. The house is so cozy with such great details in each room to help you relax and soak in the quiet soundings. The owners were available for any questions and made sure everything was smooth during our stay. The scenery is breathtaking and the area is perfectly quiet. We can't wait to stay again, whatever the season!

Pure Heaven!
My husband and I spent a week here for our anniversary and it was amazing! The furnishings and decor were spot on and comfortable. We couldn’t get over how beautiful the view was and the large glass doors really make the most of it. The hot tub was the perfect way to wind down at sunset or for stargazing at night. The stacks and stacks of plush towels made each shower a spa experience. And that bed. Incredible! It was like sleeping in a cloud of fluffiness. We never slept so good. The whole trip was wonderful! We even had a fox come for a visit - right up to the door! We would LOVE to come back and stay again soon.

A great place to get away and recharge.
This property is by far one of the cleanest properties I have ever stayed at. I really have issues with paying rather substantial cleaning fees only to arrive at a property and find and the property isn’t “clean” that is not the case with this property it was super clean. In addition, there was everything needed to hang out and enjoy a long weekend. We arrived on Thursday evening and didn’t leave until Sunday. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook all our meals. I even made zucchini bread, there was a hand mixer and baking dishes. I did a lot of cooking and found everything I looked for. I also have an issue with places that don’t have a pitcher for making juice there was a pitcher at New Meadows. The basics were provided. Oils, spices, and coffee with a very cute pour over coffee maker a dream kitchen in a vacation property.
The description and photos on the VRBO site are extremely accurate. Towels and bed linens high quality. There are plenty of clean fluffy towels in the bathroom, hot tub and dog towels are also provided. The kitchen also has plenty of dish towels.
My husband enjoyed the hot tub while I enjoyed the quiet so I could and read and do some research. There was always something to see. One morning wild turkeys in the driveway another afternoon I was just sitting outside enjoying the warm weather and quiet and spotted a bear wandering in the distance. Deer in the yard and a variety of birds and a little chipmunk that drove my dog crazy. Speaking of dogs, we did love the dog tie out. It was nice to have Boots outside with us and she could wander a bit without getting into trouble. The view is great and if you get up super early in the morning (6 am one morning) the stars are amazing. The gas fire pit was also a big hit with us. We like to sit out in the evening and enjoy a cocktail and the fire pit helped take the chill off.
I am one of those people who asks lots of questions and Lisa was quick to answer them all. We stay at a lot of vacation rentals and this house is one of my top 3. We are looking forward to a return stay. Oh yea I really enjoyed the bottle of champagne.

Awesome
We arrived Friday ready to relax. Oh my, what a view and setting. The cabin is perfectly decorated to make you feel like you are in a luxury cabin. Everything you need is there. We had a couple of questions when we arrived and the owner communicated with us by text immediately. The setting is fantastic. You can't see cabins around you and can't hear cars or people. We heard an occasional jet at 30,000 feet and coyotes in the distance. We booked our next stay the day we arrived.

Fun and Relaxing Stay
We really enjoyed our stay in August 2021. We were able to relax and unwind on the property. The view from the patio and main living area offered great scenery and sunsets. We took advantage of the fully stocked kitchen and cooked several meals. The hot tub was relaxing and sparkling clean.

Secluded and very well appointed home
This is our second year in a row to stay at this property. It feels more like a home than a rental. Everything in this air conditioned home is made of quality and high end furnishings. There is literally not a single neighbor in sight of the home. Also, do not let the one bedroom fool you. This is a very large house!

Amazing Place
Past reviews are spot on, absolutely no surprises. The location is perfect with great views and propane fire pit. Remote location that is quite and without the busy nature of McCall but close enough to enjoy the skiing daily. We already booked a return trip for the summer.

So wonderful!
This place is lovely, the owners took such care with every detail. It truly feels like a home. We were kindly hosted! The view, the quiet, the privacy, the amenities made our kid-free vacation as rejuvenating as we'd hoped. We came to spend some time playing in the snow and hurray it delivered! Thank you for letting us in on your treasure.

Winter Wonderland
We loved our stay at this property. It is perfect for a small family or couple and our fur child absolutely loved it. The home is tucked in the woods and is calm and peaceful. We spent the days lounging, doing puzzles, and enjoying the hot tub. We had great excursions snowshoeing, and skiing at Brundage. McCall is an adorable town - and only a short drive away to stock up on essentials. Thank you for sharing this fantastic property!

Fantastic Stay in Beautiful Idaho Cabin
We were so happy with our stay at the cabin! Immediately on checking in, we had quick and clear communication with Lisa and Tom. The cabin itself was in a beautiful location, halfway up a mountain in a secluded but private neighborhood. Felt far enough for privacy but close enough that we weren't completely isolated. The details in the cabin were also spot on. So cozy and well equipped with everything you could think of for a relaxing stay. We would love to come back again!

Escaped from the world!
Beautiful view, peaceful and quiet. Feels like you are far away from civilization, yet quite convenient to town and McCall area. If we had to find something to complain about, it would be to consider a new mattress (It's very soft and sinks deeply in the middle). Had everything we needed to relax and get away from it all.
Thank you Lisa!
There were so many comments on the chalk board, there wasn't room to add ours!

Not a typical rental, but an actual home
I’ve stayed in numerous rentals and this particular one is extremely well stocked with quality everything. From the cutlery to the crystal we felt as if we were staying in someone’s home.
If your wanting a place close to town, but far enough out to hear nothing but the whispering pines and gaze at countless stars....this is the place!

Found this great place for a birthday weekend getaway for my boyfriend & I. The reviews don’t lie!! This truly is a 5-star retreat. Everything within the home pays so much attention to detail. The owners take great care of it! The other part that sold us was the VIEW!! The hot tub, fire pit, lounge chairs, kitchen & big leather recliners all allow you to sit back & relax & take it all in. We can’t wait to plan our next visit!

What an awesome property! Sooooo peaceful. Sitting in the hotub, looking out on the gorgeous mountain top to the vista below was just perfect. House was clean, comfortable and adorable! Plenty of towels and blankets, even beach blankets for the hotub. Lisa, the owner, was fantastic and gave some awesome recommendations for eats in town. Our dog loved playing fetch in the backyard . It truly is a mountain home retreat. Thank you, Lisa!!! Highly recommend!
