Great house, great host, great location. We had a really fun time in McCall and having a great rental made the four night stay ideal. Mark and Renee were wonderful hosts and communication was perfect. Definitely stay again.
Beautiful Cabin Home. So relaxing we did not want to leave. Enjoyed our stay very much, and hope to return in the future! Our gift of homemade raspberry jam was wonderful!

We are thrilled you enjoyed the cabin and appreciate the kind review.. if you find time to experience the lovely area of McCall and surrounding areas please come again. The changing seasons are always a delight.
We absolutely adored this cabin, it was perfect. It was well stocked with everything we needed. We were in McCall looking at properties for ourselves and if this ever was on the market I’d try to convince my husband to buy it! We loved it!

So Tranquil!
We stayed at this beautiful home during the Winter Carnival and loved getting away from the crowds in our own peaceful forest setting. The house is so cozy and inviting, and everything was provided for our comfort and convenience.

Thank you for your kind words. We are pleased that you had a great stay and hope you will come again!
We went to McCall for golf, and a weekend away with friends who were not from Idaho. This cabin was clean, spacious and the owner was great about the communication and our needs. We wished we'd not had so much golf to play and enjoyed more time at the cabin. We loved staying there and would rent again.

Thank you for your kind words. We are happy you had a wonderful experience.
Our stay was everything we wanted for a wonderful holiday vacation! The cabin is a quick drive to town yet has private views on a nice lot. The living room and tv loft were comfortable for our family of 5. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to cook for the week. Enjoyed communicating with Mark and Renee. Would 100% rent this property again!
Everyone in our group enjoyed the stay immensely. The home is beautiful, very well furnished and supplied, and completely relaxing.
We especially enjoyed the woodwork in the home (both the home itself and the handmade furnishings), along with the home's location in the tall pines. The place offers great privacy, but with the convenience of town not far away.
Even before we left, we agreed that we hope to do this again next year.

It is so nice to hear you enjoyed a relaxing time at the cabin.. When we get comments like yours it makes us feel it was so worth the time putting it all together. We hope you will return next year!
Mark and Renee's attention to detail to make their home feel welcoming and cozy helped us relax and feel right at home. Thank you again for a stress-free stay. Marks woodworking skills are fabulous and Renee's raspberry jam was the best! Thank you, The Hecks

Brandi, Thank you for your kind review.
We hope you will return to enjoy McCall again. You are always welcome.
This was our third time for a 1-week stay at this home. This place is close in to McCall, but very private and tranquil...away from the noise and hustle and bustle. The place is beautiful and well cared for, and we cannot think of a single we would change. In fact, we have already reserved for vacation next year!

We appreciate those thoughts and love having return guests.
This was our second vacation at this property, and we hope there are more to come. We spent months looking forward to our return and we were not disappointed. This is a beautiful home, well cared for and very comfortable; we love the owners' personal attention to design and furnishings. The location in the trees is serene, yet it is only minutes to a beach or town, and a great base for longer day trips into the surrounding country. We appreciate the owners' hospitality and effort that goes into providing this property for vacation use.

Thank you so much for the kind words ! We do try to keep everything the way we would enjoy a stay in McCall. It means so much to us to hear that you can relax and appreciate the atmosphere for your vacation.
We look forward to hosting you again.
We had a great time at the Back Country cabin. Mark and Renee have put a lot of time and love into making their cabin cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed many hours enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the forest from the wraparound porch. They are very responsive owners and the cabin was outfitted perfectly for preparing and serving meals. I always appreciate a well stocked cabin. I loved that we could still turn on the fireplace on a chilly morning or evening. This was the perfect location for our friends who were visiting from Texas to experience a real McCall, Idaho vacation! I would highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words. We like to hear when our guests appreciate the area and are comfortable in the cabin. This is why we love to host guests like you and your Friends. We would love to have you back anytime!
This is truly a one of a kind cabin. It is evident that the owners have treated it as a second home. The furniture in most part is hand made and finished beautifully. There is every appliance and amenity needed for a comfortable stay, and they have provided reading material about the area that gives information of what to see and where to go.Our hosts were very open and communications were great. We had a couple of minor questions and they returned our calls immediately,If we had to select a specific experience, it was sitting on the porch in the evening, where it was cool and very quiet, and watching the deer graze in the woods nearby.It was an ideal setting.McCall is only a couple of miles away, but we stayed at the cabin because it was such a pleasure to be there.

About the host
Hosted by Mark and Renee Lothrop
Home sweet away from home. This is a cabin rental with a story. We hope that you can enjoy the personal touch that not many other vacation rentals can offer.
Mark and Renee met while working in McCall, Idaho. Mark was a smoke jumper and Renee was a fire lookout. Before moving away they purchased the land. After 25+years of saving, and 3 years building with finishing touches, this cabin is now Mark and Renee's home sweet away from home. And now it can be yours too.
Why they chose this property
We love McCall and to explore all the surrounding areas.
What makes this property unique
Our family enjoys the time at the cabin more than anything. Lots of memories are made at nearby hot springs, skiing at Brundage ski resort, relaxing on the beach at Payette Lake and of just hanging out at the cabin.
We hope you enjoy the home sweet away from home.
This cabin's covered wrap around deck is enjoyable because it sits right next to a very scenic state forest. We have been known to go huckleberry and morel mushroom hunting right out the door.
