About this property
Lakeview Mountain Retreat
Those Views! From the comfort and privacy of your own deck, you can relax and enjoy the lake view and still have easy walking distance access to all that downtown McCall has to offer! I grew up in McCall Idaho, and now reside in nearby Boise. I am so happy to have created a mountain resort style space that offers all of the comforts of home, but with a spectacular view and unparalleled access. My family and I love recreating here and look forward to the opportunity of sharing our space, and experiences with you! This is not your average vacation rental...I am of the firm belief that when vacationing, one should not have to sacrifice on quality or quantities of the surroundings or amenities. Featuring Aveda bath and body products as well as high end linens, and Pottery Barn furnishings, this home is complete and ready to become your home away from home too! This is a mostly organic home, with full sized laundry soap, dish soap, tea, coffee, honey, olive oil, and everything else that you often find "lacking" in vacation rentals. Crock pot (check!), Sharp Japanese knives (check!), cutting boards (check!), dinner service for 8 (check!), Cast Iron enameled dutch oven (Check!), Pack and play (Check!), High chair, stroller, toddler dinnerware, and so much more! Professionally designed, well executed, and extreme attention to detail await your visit to our McCall home. The home is on the 3rd floor… sorry, no elevator. We do have A/C! Please feel free to contact me if there is something you are hoping for, not on this list...I can't list everything!

My son and I had such a wonderful week in McCall, our first trip to Idaho. The condo was the perfect location walking distance to the lake and the beach just a couple blocks and the shops and restaurants just a few blocks more. The view was incredible every morning sipping my coffee out on the balcony and overlooking the lake with the mountains and evergreens in the distance. We enjoyed cooking in our fully stocked kitchen most nights for dinner and watching the sunset from the dining room table. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable and that's saying a lot as I have lower back issues and joint pain so I need a bed that's both supportive and some cushioning on the top layer. I slept so well, maybe it was all the sunshine and mountain air and all the hikes we did at Ponderosa State park and surrounding area. We also loved driving to North beach which was nestled in a cove and protected and even saw a moose there one day drinking water from a pond. Our week in McCall was relaxing (mountains and lake beaches) and beautiful (sunshine every day) and comfortable (our condo was just perfect location and decor and amenities) and my son and I created some wonderful memories together on our first trip to Idaho. Thank you!!
We had a wonderful time and fully enjoyed our stay. It was such a great place with a great vibe and we felt right at home! The hosts were super cool, very communicative, friendly and enthusiastic about us staying there and we felt very welcomed. The location was perfect, close to the lake and a nice easy walk into town. The accommodations were great, the beds were super comfortable and the home had a really nice presence to it. We played some of the provided board and card games and laughed so hard playing Apples to Apples! It was truly a perfect and much needed get away for us and we will definitely be back again and would highly recommend the Lakeview Mountain Retreat!
The first issue we had with the property was the description as a lake view property. The view was totally blocked by tall mature trees. The second issue was the inability to truly enjoy the deck. A small bistro table with tiny metal chairs left so much to be desired. And, of course, all one could see were the leaves of the trees. The final issue had to with the air conditioning units that NEVER really cooled the rooms. The TVs never really met with expectations.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 2, 2026
We have many positive reviews regarding views, etc and are one of the few rentals offering a/c which was added a few years ago to maximize guest comfort. Our guest experience is very important and we go above abd beyond to provide comfort and excellent service.
it seems nothing we could do made Fred happy. I won’t go into great detail here but it’s safe to say that two separate TVs and two a/c units that worked perfectly before and after his stay likely indicate user error. We spoke at length by phone and even had someone at the condo to re-set everything.
I’m sorry that we weren’t a good fit for you, Fred and hope that you find more suitable accomodations going forward.
We had a great stay. The place is cute and nice to have a partial lake view. The light that comes through in the afternoon is so pretty. It was nice to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Lots of great extras were provided like beach towels and chairs, board games, etc.
My family and I loved staying at this condo. It was clean and very comfortable, and the location was unbeatable. Walked to down for food and short drive to Ponderosa State Park. We will definitely be back!
This is our 3rd time staying at this property and we love it. It's quiet, clean, comfortable and within walking distance of everything. We look forward to future years' stays.
This cozy lake-side condo was perfect for a family getaway especially because it's so close to the beach and playground for little ones - the owner was also quick to respond with any questions. Recommend if you're looking for a comfortable McCall spot.

About the host
Your host
I grew up in McCall Idaho, and attended both Idaho State University and Boise State University. I've made my home in Boise and own/operate a successful Real Estate firm. I have 3 children, currently ages 11, 14, and 16. My husband and I enjoy all that McCall has to offer and enjoy sharing our love of adventure and the outdoors with our kids and other families. We’ve looked for years for our perfect "McCall Place" and finally found it. We are excited to be sharing it with you!
Why they chose this property
After having looked at real estate in McCall for years, (and even selling a few homes there), my husband and I decided this was the right property for us. Proximity to the lake and downtown make it an easy, car free trip for us, allowing the kids to run down the beach or even downtown to grab fries and that's a true vacation for us! We also love being able to start the morning with a warm drink on the deck overlooking the lake and then go for a leisurely hike. Our family enjoys skiing, the wildlife, snowshoeing, and just relaxing at the beach. We still have family there, so that is always a bonus! On top of the location, this condo offered the "bones" that we needed for a comfortable, "high end" experience. The exterior could use a little work and we are working with the HOA on that one! But the inside is a truly warm and inviting oasis, just perfect for a little alpine lake town set in the mountains!
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location! Views, Views, Views! Walking distance to the lake, marina, Legacy Beach, Brown Park, Downtown, Ponderosa State Park, and Davis Beach! Yay! for me, a vacation home done right! I am so over staying in vacation homes that put me back into college level finishes and accoutrements! I need a real knife! and blender! and decent linens! It is, after all, a vacation!
