Lake access and private dock are ideal. The place has an interesting history and a lot of charm. 3 or 4 lights were out and the bulbs in the pantry didn't work or were the wrong size. The hand rails going to the lake and upstairs were loose and wobbly.

The stay was very nice overall. However, the grease trap on the grill had not been cleaned for quite some time and caught fire when we were cooking baked potatoes in tinfoil. Luckily, no one was burned but it would be good to check the grease trap more often. I will text some photos to Matt.

We loved the outdoor setting of this place. The kids loved the private beach and dock. The deck and yard was so pretty and peaceful. Would definitely recommend

Owner went out of his way to make things work for us. Turned out grate.

I would first like to say that I don’t want to complain about the property itself. It is as it shows in the photos—unique, old, not particularly well maintained (but could be spectacular!) and filled with lots of whimsical decor. Really filled. Great location, and best part of it is the use of a beautiful beach. It touts a private dock for our fishing and boating use, which was the primary reason we chose to rent this property. We arrived to find the dock was pulled up on the beach rather than out on the lake. We needed a dock for our boat. No one ever informed us that the dock would not be available. The wigwam house in the back is included in the “four bedroom three bathroom” description. The main house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We needed the extra bed and asked 3 times how to gain access. The property manager told us there would be an extra charge for the wigwam (he responded a day after we needed it). There is no mention of an extra charge anywhere in the description of the property and its use/charges. We had an unpleasant exchange with the property manager on the evening of my Dad’s 90th birthday which ended the evening abruptly. This was right after my Dad made a toast saying it was his “best birthday ever.” This was a one night gathering of 18 family members. All related. We got 2 houses to accommodate our group. During the day we thought we could all hang out together outside and use boat, beach, etc. This was not allowed. Please note that the listing says very specifically that no one is allowed on the property other than the people that are staying there. The house is monitored by outdoor video cameras. This was not disclosed in the listing description either. The day before we were set to leave, my Step Mom heard someone walking outside. She went to the door and saw people trying to let themselves in. It was neighbors that said they were checking to see if the building was locked up and secure. We still had another day of rental. Though we did fine with the manager for the rest of the trip, it could have been a smoother and much less stressful trip had their been clear communication from the beginning. Prior to even getting to McCall I had asked a few questions and never got a response from anyone other than an automatic robot response. This house could be a 5 star rating with greater attention to detail.

Stay was going great until the property manager called SCREAMING at my husband and myself. FYI if you plan to have people over when renting BE SURE TO PUT them ALL on the contract!! HE WILL NOT LET YOU CHANGE IT and he will not work with you. READ the contract its MUCH different then any other VRBO OR AIR B & B

Enjoy a slice of McCall history in this lovely beach-front home filled with eclectic decorations, comfortable accommodations, and an incredible view and lake access. The location cannot be beat and the house is fun, whimsical, and comfortable. Our family of nine (ages 10 to 70) fit perfectly in this wonderful home and loved paddleboarding, hiking, and mountain biking right from the house as well as jumping in the lake, warming up in the jacuzzi, making sandcastles, and a campfire with s'mores on the beach, cooking in the kitchen and coming together for meals and games in the interesting, spacious dining room. A few tips/caveats: - If you prefer sparse decorations and/or uncluttered spaces, this house might not be your cup of tea. Our family found it fun, warm, and comfortable. - The deck and dock are incredible and there are many different areas both inside and outside to accommodate a larger group and multiple conversations taking place at once - The jacuzzi jets emit chlorine? gas when you run them so we'd recommend not using the jets until this is addressed. It makes everyone in the jacuzzi cough. - Read the fine print on the Wigwam availability. It is only unlocked when enough people are renting the house at once. My mother-in-law stayed inside and loved it. - Life preservers were not included with the house so bring your own or rent from the marina. Everything you need besides beach towels and food is provided with the house. - Definitely take the .5 mile hike up to the reservoir. We saw a moose and it was fantastic. We also recommend the short walk to Charlie's Garden. - Matt, the property manager, was great to deal with and very responsive

The property was beautiful!! The inside of the house was really cool with all the antique stuff. The fire pit and the dock was the best part for us. We just fished the whole time. The inside could be a little cleaner with how much they charge for a cleaning deposit. I made sure I cleaned it way better when I left. Overall I would do it again.
