We usually stay in McCall, but decided to try New Meadows and really enjoyed it! This cabin had lots of room to spread out in, a great deck to enjoy, and everything we needed. You will hear the cars on the hwy, but there is so much land around the cabin and it sits in such a secluded area from other people you do feel you are out in the woods, yet just a short drive to fun hikes and ice cream in McCall! We have lived in Idaho 30 years but went to places near this cabin we had never been before. Host is very responsive and cabin has everything needed to enjoy time in the mountains.

This cabin is Amazing!!!! Ellen is also amazing! Lots of room for everyone, setting is beautiful. We enjoyed every minute there. Ellen left me a lovely note and gift for my retirement that was so thoughtful. Just tells what a wonderful person she is. She also sent a left over piece of material back to us. She's awesome. I hope to go back again. Thanks so much!!

We really enjoyed our time up at this cabin!! Can’t wait for our next stay!!

The cabin is great and surrounded by pine trees. It was nice to have a drink on the deck.

This was the perfect place for us - convenient to all our activities.

Everything about our stay was wonderful! Absolutely beautiful cabin with everything you could ever need! Comfortable beds, stocked kitchen, and very clean! Definitely a gorgeous cabin in the woods! Ellen was quick to respond to any of my questions. Wonderful stay in a warm and inviting place!

cabin and surrounding property were amazing, very quiet and peaceful, will be back next year.

New Meadows is one of my favorite places in Idaho so I was beyond happy that my son and his wife chose it to celebrate their marriage. I wasn't sure that we could find a nice place in New Meadows that could accommodate all of us, but The Sportsman's Retreat was the perfect place for our family of 9 and mini Aussie, Lolo. The house and location are beautiful and even better in person. Everything was meticulous, comfortable, well appointed...and it even smells wonderful! Our family, traveling from 5 different states, needed time to clean up and change for rehearsal and dinner, and Ellen, our host, was especially gracious to allow us an early check in which we all so appreciated. The only problem was that our stay wasn't long enough. It was a wonderful place to relax and hang out, and we agreed that we would love to go back for a longer visit. And...the complimentary bottle of wine and truffles were enjoyed by all. Thank you so much from all of us!

The location is perfect and secluded. We enjoy the quiet stays. Interior and amenities are also superior. We will definitely visit again!

Absolutely gorgeous and magnificent. Just as it was described- a secluded Sportsmans paradise. Well kept and we had such a wonderful time. Thank you again.

Super clean, secluded cabin. Very relaxing. Great place for family games and not far from McCall!

Great location, plenty of room for all family. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a reprieve from the heat. Nice cabin in the woods. Great communication with the owner. Will consider another stay if up this way again. Thanks.

My gal pals of the class of 77 spent a fun filled weeked at this amazing rural property. While we didn't embark on any of the adventures there was plenty of hiking, fishing and sight seeing within 20 or 30 minutes of the home.

Our family showed up to this beautiful cabin and fell in love with it! We had everything we needed from the kitchen to each bedroom. It was amazing to spend our weekend here!

What a wonderful place! We had 4 adults staying during a recent a golf adventure and had a great time in a clean, secluded vacation home that provided access to all of the McCall-New Meadows area amenities.

The house was absolutely beautiful and so spacious! It was very clean and had everything we needed and more. Communication with Ellen was a breeze and I had no issues with getting in contact with her.

The cabin met our expectations, even exceeded it in several instances. It had a warm cabin decor and feel. The kitchen was especially well stocked, the beds comfortable and the entire place roomy. A special surprise was the 6 shower-heads in the master bedroom bathroom. Too cool! Highly recommended to others. Just be aware there is slightly less than a mile of gravel road and be sure to bring mosquito spray. The only thing we could suggest is a sign of some sort at the driveway turnoff since it slopes downward off the right and the cabin isn't highly visible...one of our two cars drivers missed the turn. But these are little things...overall a great family experience at the cabin, thanks!

Ellen is awesome to work with! The house is fully stocked 💖

What a great place. Very clean and all around outstanding!

The cabin was very nice and clean! In a great location for all the activities we wanted to do and for the places we wanted to go!

Very well stocked home. It was perfect for relaxing and staying in. Large home with a cozy feel. Star link was perfect for a “off the grid but connected “ stay. Very close to New Meadows and not to far to McCall. We love it and are planning next summer to return and hope to stay here again.

We looked at several cabins on VRBO and saw many prices. This one was on the lower end, in my opinion, but was VERY nice. Everything was ready when we arrived, communication with the host prompt and polite. We have zero complaints and only have positive things to say. It was beautiful, roomy, great kitchen and bathrooms. Rooms were comfortable with 2 rooms on the first floor good for older people while the master and bonus room were upstairs. Honestly, this cabin was as good or better than some more expensive cabins we saw on the website. Highly recommend staying here, you won't be disappointed.

Our stay was amazing. The cabin was beautiful; all in the trees, you would never know hwy 95 was just on the other side. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had all you would need. We will definitely be back.

This home was perfect for our stay for a family wedding in New Meadows! We really appreciated the extra linens and fully equipped kitchen. The owners were very easy to communicate with and quick with responses. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We had such a wonderful time at this cabin. It was a beautiful cabin and wonderful property. We enjoyed a much needed family vacation. The cabin is large, comfortable, clean and quiet. The decor is gorgeous, very nicely done. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into making the cabin a perfect place to rest and relax. The cabin stays nice and cool in the evenings and mornings. Just shut the windows during the day and the place stays comfortable temperature wise. It's secluded and peaceful. We took several hikes and enjoyed it immensely. Payette Lake is about 20 minutes away. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Ellen, for a great home away from home!

Clean and comfortable stay. Great communication with the owner. Convenient distance to local towns. Would recommend to others.

We booked a last minute 4th of July getaway. The cabin was perfect! Just like the other post say, pictures don’t do it justice, each room was decorated so nicely and the feel was warm, cozy and beautiful. The kitchen was stocked up so well. I would definitely book again. The host answered fast whenever I had a question. We extended one extra day just because we loved it so much. Thanks Palmer family for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

Great place! The location is excellent. Very private with paths through forest to walk. The home had a TV and DVD player with lots of good DVDs. There were a lot of board games and card games my kids loved playing. There is no A/C, so it did get a little hot mid day, but not too bad.

This was a great property for our family getaway. Beautiful scenery and a spectacular cabin. Lots of room, great layout and very luxurious.

Very nice, quiet, easy to get to property. Comfortable furnishings and large living room which was great for visiting with family. Would definitely stay again if returning to the area!

I gave the accuracy of the listing a 4-star; I did this because the pictures do not give the property justice; when my family and I walked in the house, all we could do was drop our jaws and stare; this property was more than I ever expected. Also, the items provided to help make our stay easy was exceptional. My family and I give this property 5+ stars!!!
