About this house rental
This little log cabin is a great place for a winter weekend ski trip or a summer vacation with your family. The location is ideal! For summer activities, Payette Lake is just a short walk down the lane. Rent a jet-ski, boat, kayaks or paddle boards at the marina in town (five minutes away); or just sun and play in the water at Davis Beach down the street. The cabin is very close to the entrance of Ponderosa State Park, which is a great place for hiking and biking. Many fishing spots can be found nearby. Or you can golf at the beautiful McCall Golf Course just down the street. Winter activities can include skiing at Brundage Mountain about 25 minutes away. You may want to cross country ski, snowmobile or ice skate at the nice rink in town. There are a couple of great hot springs in neighboring towns to warm up after a day in the snow. This rustic little two-story log cabin has enough beds to sleep 6.
The mattresses upstairs were new in 2016, providing a comfortable place to spend the night. A New Costco “Caspar” Queen memory foam mattress was installed in the downstairs bedroom in Sept. 2019. 2 Queen beds upstairs. Technically this may be considered a loft and 1 bedroom upstairs as you must access the second bedroom through the first.
This two-story log cabin has a newly remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertop. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils to accommodate cooking and dining, with a dining room table seating 6.
The living area has a wood burning stove, two loveseats and a recliner.
The living room has a Roku television allowing access to common streaming services with your own accounts as well as cable television service. One upstairs bedroom also has a television with cable and there is wi-fi internet.
This cozy log cabin nestled in the woods is a perfect year-round location for a McCall getaway. Only about a mile from downtown McCall and just outside Ponderosa State Park, you’re just minutes from Payette Lake access in either direction. Brundage Mountain is about a 25-minute drive for popular winter activities.
In the warmer months, rent a jet-ski, boat, kayaks or paddle board at the marina in town or take advantage of Davis Beach down the street. Ponderosa State Park is a great place for hiking and biking, as well as some fishing. McCall Golf Course is nearby if you’re looking for something to do off the water.
In the winter there is of course Brundage Mountain for the downhillers, but there are also numerous cross-country skiing paths, and snowmobile rentals that can be found in town. The ice rink downtown is always a good time! Just down the street there are miles of plowed trails through McCall golf course.

We enjoyed our stay, and were very happy they allowed us to bring our dog family with us! The only negative I would say, is that the home isn’t the cleanest…and there was a pet urine smell that was pretty strong upstairs. Other than that, being walking distance to a beach was great!

Overall, it was a nice cozy cabin, we did find a little dust, and one blanket would leave brown little furball‘s on the bed and on you, it was a older blanket. I would recommend getting rid of it. I would stay at this cabin again.

Cute little cabin. On the road too Ponderosa State Park so the only traffic is park traffic or residents. Very quiet. Ready walk to the park or to downtown.

McCall Vacation
Our stay at our rental was perfect. We liked the walking paths in the park and the short distance to the beaches. We loved being able to bring our dog, but dogs are not aloud on beaches so that was a little inconvenient. We have no complaints about our cabin. Nice, clean, and cozy !

Time Capsule of Mountain Charm
The Little Cabin at Ponderosa Park is a time capsule of McCall. Blending old with new the charm of this cabin is the feel of days gone by. Although the kitchen has been updated with new appliances the rest of the cabin has kept its charm from the past providing an authentic experience of a little cabin in the woods. The Little Cabin provided a cozy retreat during my stay with the first of the season’s snowfall.
Statically located within walking distances of Davis Beach and Ponderosa State Park Visitor Center you could easily ditch the car. Downtown McCall is a 10 minutes’ walk away.

Cozy and Nice location
The only con I have for the whole thing is I thought there was three bedrooms, but one of the rooms was a loft with a bed in it, and you had to walk through it to get to the other upstairs bedroom. Travelling with an infant, we wanted a third bedroom to give us some space but didn't have that. THe other thing was that the floors was super gross. Anyone with a toddler gets to see how dirty floors are as they crawl around or spill their snacks from the chair, and the floor was really nasty. Overall the property was nice and would be really great for a smaller family with a couple kids or what not, and its location is really good. Just a little small for our needs it turned out. The property management was very responsive while we were there and I appreciate that.

Excellent for us!
Short walk to the park. Short drive to town. Very convenient. Two bedrooms are upstairs and not listed as that on the site and was ok for us but might affect others.
This cabin is well equipped.

Great little cabin
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy little cabin. Comfortably fit my wife and I plus our 3 kids (ages 6-11) and dog. Location right outside Ponderosa State Park was perfect. Rode our bikes to the park to enjoy the beach and trails. Would definitely stay there again.

Nice little cabin.
Stayed for over a week. Relatively nice place, great location. Definitely rustic and simple, but it was clean and comfortable. Cabin can be a little warm on summer days. Everything was in working order. Would stay again.

Great location cabin needs work
The cabin is at a wonderful location. There is some minor repair work that needs to be done. They aren’t big things but the fact that they aren’t done is annoying. The front door sticks badly, the front deck needs replaced and the device holding up the trap door to the second floor is unsafe.

Would Never Recommend
Front door sticks 1/4 open. Nail heads trip you on shakey porch. No directions for live tv use. Many spider webs in 1st floor bedroom 3 feet from your head. Bathroom door blocks toilet. No water pressure in kitchen. Patio filthy.
No dishwasher . Broken cooking utensils. Crusty toaster. Pictures very deceiving. Basically unrentable until much work and cleanup. Sorry. Extremely disappointed.

We really enjoyed our stay. The only downside was a cold shower. With only two of us we were surprised to run out of hot water!

Great location, unclean during covid?
First off, the location of the cabin was great, close to Payette Lake and to downtown McCall.
However the cleanliness of the cabin was highly concerning, especially during a pandemic. Upon entry, we noticed sand and what looked like confetti left over from a bachelorette party. Which lead us to question, “what else isn’t clean?”
This was after we had inquired about arriving slightly before check-in, with the hopes of dropping off our luggage, so that we could enjoy the town w/o our items in a rental car. Management said “no, to allow for their cleaning service to thoroughly cleanse the cabin”... Yea right!
We decided to whip down the surfaces and door knobs ourselves.
Plus the trash can (which is rodent/bear proof) was practically full. Making us take the trash to a dumpster, so that animals wouldn’t get into it.
Nice cabin, terrible hospitality.

Great Getaway
The cabin was comfortable, close to the state park and lake. The weather was perfect. A couple of improvements needed: better lighting in the living/dining area and cleaner towels (kitchen towels had wood pieces/lint on them and bathroom towels are really stained). Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay.

Great stay near the lake.
The house was great. It is about 2 blocks from the lake. You can access the lake from the state park. My wife and I brought our three kids, plenty of room, three bedrooms all with comfortable beds. House was very clean, mostly well stocked. Only downside is that the steet it is on is a little busy as it is right near the entrance to state park. Also, if you bring a boat, there is not room to park it on the property, truly one parking spot. Fortunately neighbors saw us trying to figure it out and offered to let us use their driveway for our boat. Also, there is a back patio, but not where we spent our time.

Close to the beach and state park
We chose this property because we could walk 2 minutes and arrive at the beach and the Ponderosa State Park. It's a cute property and was as it appears on the listing.

Great cabin and location
Great location. Close to everything including great bike/hiking trails. Very short drive to everything McCall has to offer. Cabin itself is charming and cozy with all the appliances to make your McCall trip convenient. Would definitely stay again!

We overall enjoyed our time at the Little Cabin @ Ponderosa. It was great to be able to bring our 2 small dogs, as well as, such a short walking distance to the lake. The beds were very comfortable, enjoyed the newly remodeled kitchen and overall size of the rustic cabin. When we booked, the amenities said there was a washer & dryer. Only to find out when we got there that there wasn't. The bathroom didn't seem to be very clean when we got there. The bath rug was dirty as well as the floor. Also, the toilet seat kept falling off (a bigger toilet would be a nice replacement in the future). We struggled with the Internet/Wifi. For some reason, it was not very good for any of us with our laptops or cell phones. Anytime we had an issue, the property managers were there immediately to take care of the problem! Overall...we would rent again...location was awesome!

We had a great time at the Little Cabin. Our family of 4 fit very comfortably. The kids loved having a loft area to hang out. Great location with a short walk down to the water and a very quick car ride to all of the downtown attractions. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking. We even enjoyed playing Monopoly and attempting some of the puzzles that were available. The cabin is well-loved and on the rustic side, but it worked out perfectly for us. Would love to stay here again!

Perfectly perfect
We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. The cabin was stocked with the necessary amenities. Having three beds without having to stay in a huge house was nice for us as we were only at the cabin to sleep. We were able to check in early on our arrival which gave us time for a bike ride before our dinner reservations. Thank you for providing a much needed family vacation.
4.0
Sleeps 6 well, kitchen is nice and the walk to Ponderosa State Park is a breeze.
Not a suitable rental for families with small children, as the stairs are a safety concern and the yard isn't a place to play. We were able to switch family between properties and then enjoyed our get together and the park.

Wonderful weekend stay!
This is a wonderful rustic cabin close to the lake! Feels much bigger than it looks, and has a lot of charm. The brand new updated kitchen is beautiful! We enjoyed playing games by the fireplace, and overall enjoyed our stay very much!

Tiny
Base boards did not work. We had no heat upstairs or in front bedroom when doors were closed.
Not enough parking for a group of people at all, even though listing says it can sleep 8 people.
Couches extremely uncomfortable. Very old and cushions are terrible.

Cute Little Cabin
We enjoyed our weekend in McCall in this cute little cabin. It had everything we needed for a weekend but we'd likely not stay longer due to no laundry ammenities. It was warm with wall heaters and wood stove. The hot water was great and internet service was sufficient. The cabin could use a bit of updating but has rustic charm.

This cute little cabin was perfect for us. We loved that Davis Beach is literally one block away. We would definitely stay again.

Very cozy, great location, great for kids
This property exceeded our expectations. The proximity to the lake and the state park are amazing, while still having easy access to downtown, plus national forest where we could take our dog hiking off leash. Our toddler loved the cabin, and we loved how kid-friendly the setup was - basically no extra kid-proofing required, as long as we blocked off access to the stairs. Lastly, making the reservation was fast and easy, and when we called late on a Friday to get the wifi password, we immediately reached a very helpful person :) We would definitely stay here again!

Nice cabin, great location, a bit warm in the summer
It is cute little cabin. Great location with only a short walk to the lake and Ponderosa State Park. It could use better mattresses, and it was a bit hot the weekend we were there. Most of the cabins do not have AC, so you may want to check this if traveling in the summer.
