Very spacious and clean place!

We were very surprised but how late the space felt and how clean it was. Beds are comfy as well. The golf course was great for the dogs even during the winter. Quiet area and the hot tub was absolutely amazing at the start and end of each day. Great place!

Family Birthday and end of summer celebration

What a wonderful base camp for our family gathering and celebration! The property owners were fantastic in communication and assistance! We will definitely be looking to add this location for future years use. Thanks so much. Only concern was the hot water capacity after lake time.

Amazing home for family get togethers

Absolutely lovely property, clean, and beautiful! Had a blast! Not the parking room it advertised at all, not great for more than 1 truck or trailer. I specifically asked if had room for 2 trucks with snowmobile trailers and it didn't in winter time. Thank you our whole family had an amazing time

Beautiful, clean, and spacious! The loft is located away from the main living space which is wonderful because those sleeping in the loft will not be woken up if people are in kitchen/living room. The back porch is fully shaded which is nice on hot days. Location is 5 min away from town.

Great house rental!!!

We had a great experience! The house is very spacious with a great layout. 3 guest rooms and 2 full baths downstairs plus a lots of beds in the bonus room upstairs. Great if you want to separate kids and adults. The hot tub was perfect and the patio area would be great in the summer! Kitchen is well equipped with dishes, glassware, baking / cooking pans and appliances. Truly the only thing they need to add is a couple of spatulas.

McCall Golf Property

We had a wonderful time in our stay at the Bear Cabin (what my grandkids called it). Location was superb to golf, lake, downtown, all the things we enjoyed doing while there. The house is very spacious and accommodated us beyond expectations. Property was very clean and ready to occupy when we checked in. When we arrived there was an issue with the hot tub which was not a big deal to us. However, someone (I think) saw we had some kids that were excited about the tub and they had someone there, within 30 minutes that made the adjustments and got it fired up (very impressive). Thank you for sharing your space, we had the best time and hope to come back sometime soon.

Lots or room, but short a bathroom

The property was as advertised. It was large and spacious with nicely appointed bedrooms on the ground floor and a large room on the second floor with two trundle beds, a bunk bed and a twin bed. Unfortunately the AC did not cool this room well and there are no bathrooms on this level. Their are two nice bathrooms on the ground floor. One is ensuite in the Master bedroom with a King bed. The other bath is used by the remainder of the guests. This bathroom got a workout with five grandkids ages 5 to 16 and two adults using this bath. The bath in the master was shared when the occupants of the master were not using it, but this still made the other bath a hive of activity. An additional half bath on the second level would have relieved much of the congestion. Enough about the bath difficulties. Otherwise, the property is well maintained and in a great location. It is only a short walk to Ponderosa Park where you can look at the lake, swim or hike. The property is adjacent to one of the fairways of the local golf course and its patio looks out onto the course. Very cool and relaxing to sit and just watch the golfers get frustrated as you read or sip something cool. My grandkids were treated with close encounters with many mule deer that roam the neighborhood. The beds were comfy and everything was great except for the aforementioned toilet shortage. This was a quasi family reunion and we made it work and had a great time. A great place to stay, but has limitations

Family trip!

We did thanksgiving out of town this year. Plenty of room for the 9 of us (3kids, 6 adults) walking distance to great sledding options. Utilized the golf path for walking (this is not an option May-Oct) close to downtown, close to the lake)

Not the best

The place needs more silverware for the amount of people it says it sleeps. No sheets were included for at least one of the trundle beds, from what I could find. The bare minimum of supplies was given for our stay, including toilet paper, one roll paper towel, just enough dishwashing pods, two kitchen wash clothes, I could go on… and the early 10am check-out, late 4pm check out is not standard for anywhere else I’ve stayed, including hotels! We also had a surprise visit from the management company a few mins after 10am, I guess to ensure we were leaving soon? It was very odd, and I found it a bit intrusive. Another annoyance was the strange dog who wandered over to gape at us through the sliding glass doors - sorry but that’s a no with my young children in tow! Also, the hot tub only got to 104, jets were not strong, and the lights in it were broken. And the very inviting bridge that crosses over to a walking path that according to signs, are only for golfers??? Why would you have a bridge that goes somewhere you supposedly aren’t allowed on?? That walking path was a huge part of the draw for us - we were planning on doing a lot of family walks there, and our plans were ruined. So, lots of small inconveniences and annoyances that made this not a great stay for us, sorry to say!

Great property!

We loved staying at this property. We only had an issue with getting in and when I called the property manager, they worked quickly and got us in. Heather was so kind and patient. We enjoyed the view of the golf course while having our morning coffee on the patio. It was close to all the things that we wanted to do. The Ponderosa State was a very short drive away. We loved the trails and the scenic drive there. The kids were thrilled with the loft. They got their own space. We will definitely be back.

Great location

The property was very clean and well maintained. Beds were very comfortable. Nice big garage to store our bike and water toys in during our stay. My kids loved the park across the street. We were a little nervous when we were told that the house had a “starter pack” of toilet paper, since we were coming with a group of 13, but we had plenty! We were a little disappointed that the advertised walking path out back was not even usable and that we would get fined if we were on it. We also had to make some different sleeping arrangements for one of our kiddos, as the hide-a-bed in the couch was not usable. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would recommend the property!
