Nice Place - Bring your own consumables though

Great place and had nearly everything we needed to have a good time. One thing folks should know though, there are no additional paper towel rolls, wax paper, zip locks or tin foil. We vacation rent quite a bit, and that was a first for us. So as long as you bring that stuff with you, you should be set.

Private cabin retreat

This was a great place to stay for our family. The game rooms were great entertainment for the kids and it was so nice to have the water front location! Make sure to grab some firewood from the local gas stations and enjoy your time here! Beautiful location to vacation!

Quiet cabin near lake

Our stay in Donnelly was wonderful and the cabin was well equipped for our daily adventures. We were within 20 minutes of great hiking in Tamarack, McCall and Payette Lake. Loved being able to end our day around the campfire overlooking Lake Cascade. Wonderful stay and look forward to coming back!

Loved it

We enjoyed everything that the property had to offer. We played a lot of pool and ping pong, sat down next to the lake, made smores in the massive fire pit. We should have brought fishing poles! It is a lovely area and no issues at all.

Fantastic location and clean comfortable house

We really enjoyed this house. Great views overlooking the lake and everything was as advertised. We would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace and the house was clean. The beds were comfortable and the kids really enjoyed the playroom and the pool table. We enjoyed an afternoon at Gold Fork Hot Springs and did some sledding. Communication with the owners was fantastic. Great house!

Birthday celebration.

The property was perfect for our family. We had lots of room in the house so we weren't bumping into each other. Everyone was so impressed with the house and all the furnishings inside as well as the view outside. We had a baby and the house was baby friendly. The weather was perfect for sitting outside and enjoying the fire pit or just the beauty of being there. It was a perfect setting and we made some great family memories.

First visit to Idaho

My husband and I and our adult daughter, her husband and two children had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the lay out of the house, it worked well for all of us. The microwave wasn’t working and they dropped off another right after we checked in. The kids ( and the adults) loved the backyard. The location allowed us to visit not only Donnelly, but Cascade and McCall as well. We hope to return.

Mountain Family Gathering

It’s good to look into your families faces first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. Our first time picking the mountains over warm for Spring Break. The frozen lake and snow were beautiful. At night you can see the groomers on the Tamarack runs. This house was filled with laughter…we realize we are Not good pool players or Ping Pong players but had so much fun trying! The huge kitchen table makes me want one. 10 of us had plenty of room to “get away” if you needed too. I highly recommend this beautiful home. We have all talked about dates to return this summer.

Beautiful home and location

We drove 22 hours to chase the giant perch in Cascade. We were not disappointed with the fishing, people or property. We caught hundreds of very nice perch with many over 15" and 1 16 incher. The bonus was the trout we caught mixed in with the perch. We ended up with 11 species of fish in the boat in 6 days of fishing. We pretty much fished and slept, so the home was overkill for 3 of us. About my only very minor disappointment was I could not find any garlic powder or garlic salt for cooking some fish. Who doesn't have garlic in the spice rack? The California King bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable. When we decide to go back to Cascade someday, this home will be top of our list to rent again.

Friends Getaway

Overall a nice location and place. There are two things preventing me from giving this house a 5 star… the carpet was filthy and so was the rug in the living room. And there was dog hair on the blankets and sheets in at least two of the bedrooms. It was gross. We didn’t use the comforter in the master due to the amount of hair. The sheets to that bed also had hair all over. We ended up putting the blanket we brought along on the trip on the bed so we didn’t have to sleep on the sheets. I did contact the after hours number and Charlie replied to me right away! Great customer service from Frost Cabins.

Beautiful property

The accommodations and property are everything as advertised. Sits just on the lake with easy access and close to other outing destinations. Unfortunately the lake water level was quite low so couldn’t fish from backyard but that just encouraged us to go explore. Microwave wasn’t working and wifi was spotty but the indoor fire place and outdoor fire pit were just what we needed. Thanks!

Beautiful area, great views

Loved the area and the great views, but the actual cabin was less than expected. Several things were in bad repair and beds were very disappointing. This cabin could be awesome with some simple upgrades. Improving the mattresses and simple repairs would make you feel like it was a good value. Kids did have fun playing pool and ping pong and enjoying their time playing outdoor games. Very close to the beach.
