Amazing place, HIGHLY recommended

I wanted a place with a dock and didn't care what the place looked like. Upon entry the place looked just like the pictures... an old house with all the old house charm! It's not the Ritz Carlton but it's on the water and has a boat dock. We stayed for a week and as the week went on we fell more and more in love with the place with all of it's quirks and charm! We also met one of the owners (eric) who was quite hospitable and welcoming. Only downside is there was not a place to park my boat trailer but we had a friend staying in town where we stashed it. We will be back next summer for sure!

Nice spot

This cabin was everything we expected it to be. The beds were comfortable, the location perfect. The grass field above the dock is so nice. It could use a new shower head in the shower, but the water's hot and that's all that matters. We picked the spot because of our boat and wanting to be on the water the whole time. Another cabin owner had stuck their boat in the slip we were promised, and is pretty much what you're paying for. Fortunately, we made friends with the other neighbors and we parked in another slip that was open. But it was really stressful because we knew we could get yelled at and have to pull our boat out at any moment. We were given options of where else we could park our boat but neither were feasible, based on the level of the water and the way the other boat had parked and taken over two slips. We would love to come back here, but it is nerve-wracking to know that the whole reason we went to have a place to park our boat on the water may or may not be there, and you're kind of out of luck. We would love to be back, but it would be nice to know that the slip is open, and that that the owners or the property management company would care enough to take care of the situation. We got lucky that the other neighbors did not have their boat in at the time.

Great location. Beware of neighbors.

The cabin was great. The dock was fun. The neighbors share a dock and made us uncomfortable. They showed up on the third day and would not leave us alone with how important they were. We didn't use the dock after that.

Perfect Cabin

The location on the lake made the trip absolutely amazing. The rustic cabin is exactly that but that is all we needed. What mattered to us was good communication with the host and location and this home checked both those boxes :) It would be nice if there was a bigger TV since we do like to relax in the evenings and watch TV. But that really isn't a big deal. Thank you and we will be back next summer!

Rustic, fun, and needs some work

Rustic cabin, small 1000sqft cabin with small adequate kitchen and eating area, comfortable couches with TV and Roku, no AC, downstairs shower in twin single bed room, open upstairs master with no door to twin beds in second room. Very nice Dock access. No beach access. Pleasant owner with easy access in shaded area. Beds could use updating but that's what rustic means.

Quaint family weekend in the mountains

We had a wonderful long weekend up in Beautiful McCall. My husband and I came with our 3 year old, one year old, and my sister. There was plenty of room for us as far as sleeping and living went, however the shower was a little tight for bathing our kiddos. But we knew ahead of time and were able to prepare. It was nice to step back in time; hand washing dishes, hearing the screen door bang as the kids came and went, and having to warm up next to the wall heater in the mornings. Having access to the boat dock was amazing. We have very special memories of the cabin that will last us a lifetime!

Great Family Fun

The Rustic Red cabin was a great place for our family to enjoy time together at the lake. The access to a dock/slip made this cabin very desirable and it did not disappoint. The cabin itself is exactly as described - no luxuries, no frills; just your quintessential McCall cabin! The space worked great for the five of us, which included 3 teenagers. The deck is fantastic for soaking in the sun and the view of the lake. The owners just happened to be there when we arrived and they were such pleasant and helpful people - we appreciated their input and assistance. The only challenge we had while staying was getting in contact with the management company on Sunday, when we accidentally got locked out of the cabin. Their office is closed on the weekends (when most people rent) and after speaking with their answering service, we waited over 2 hours for someone to call us back to no avail. Luckily, the neighbors next door were able to help us out, for which we are incredibly grateful. This was a little unexpected having rented many homes in the past managed by larger companies that are available 24/7 for emergencies such as this.

Rustic is understatement. Running water is directly from lake—don’t drink it!! Extremely dirty under beds and furniture. We ran a fan with filter that was black on leaving. Boat dock, and neighbors were great!!

Great Stay!

Our family enjoyed our stay here so much! Neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The cabin was cozy and rustic and fulfilled all of our needs. The boat dock is amazing, so nice not to have to take the boat out of the water every evening. Parking is a little tight, so be prepared, but the neighbors were very accommodating for our boat trailer and both vehicles. We loved our stay here and hope to rent again in the future!

Shameful

It is shameful for someone to rent a house as filthy and as uncared for as this cabin. Also the only bed that wasn't a twin bed was the oldest, most uncomfortable mattress I've ever slept on. To top it off a new cabin is under construction next door(which we were not made aware of). The peace and quiet we had in mind was not possible as a result. Property Mgr. stated he was going to speak with the owner about a partial refund, and he didn't even reply after I sent later inquiry about the status of that. Joe Russell

Great little cabin and shared dock for swimming

After other plans were cancelled due to covid, we were happy to find this little cabin last minute. The deck was perfect for morning coffee or dinner and cards with the family. The shared dock was great for a morning dips and swimming during the heat of the day. The upstairs is really one large room with no doors. But since we were all family it was not a problem.

Simple, rustic getaway

We had a great week in McCall at this property! The cabin is small and most definitely rustic, but we weren’t expecting anything fancy. We were surprised that we did have to purchase all of our own toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags because none were provided. We were also told by the property renter that there would be a washer/dryer, but discovered on arrival that there was not. This was too bad because we had packed with laundry options in mind, but we made it work. The listing says 3 bedrooms, but we discovered that the two bedrooms upstairs have no door separating them, so there is really no privacy unless you have the only downstairs bedroom with a door. The lake access is super close and easy- the dock is wonderful for shared access and we spent lots of time on the water! Parking is a little tight but we carpooled so it worked out fine :) The neighborhood is very friendly and we enjoyed meeting people and soaking up the relaxing lake life culture.

Too cold for the Red Cabin

We got to the cabin on a weekend that was predicted to be in the 40's in the day and in the 20's at night. The cabin looked fine but after much searching, we found that there was no central heating. There was a big fireplace with wood but the notebook about the cabin told us not to expect much warmth from that source. We located one space heater on the first floor. We would have had to carry it around with us from kitchen to bathroom to living room in order to stay warm. We don't mind roughing it. We tent camp in that kind of weather. However there was nothing in the advertising about the cabin that said that there was no central heat. We would have prepared differently if we had known that kind-of-big detail. Luckily, after three tries, we were able to get through to the folks managing the property and they moved us to a neighboring cabin with no questions asked. We had a nice weekend at that cabin and appreciated the responsiveness of the management staff. I do suggest however that the listing should be much clearer about the heating situation.

No stopper in sink to do dishes,mostly broken chairs outside, no porch light, uneven boards and nails sticking up on porch, not many coffee mugs, needed more lights and or light bulbs, no information on area:hiking,dining,hot springs,and shopping. The cabin is as advertised a little red cabin with a partial view and we like the cabin itself.
