The second bathroom shower was in a state of disrepair.

Thanks for staying! The shower is temporarily out of commission in the second bathroom (still fully functional bathroom otherwise). We're awaiting a contractor to repair some broken tile. There is additionally a full bathroom with tub / shower in the Master.
Came to McCall for a wedding. House provided a no fuss place to sleep and get ready. Clean and pet friendly were at the top of our list and we weren’t disappointed.
The house was cozy and warm upon arrival. Easy to find and adequate parking for our trucks and 1 trailer. Kitchen and living space were open and roomy. The kitchen was well stocked and fully functional. The layout was perfect for us and we look forward to booking again for next year!
Filthy oven, no air conditioning, Main bath out of commission, and the property is in disrepair.
Required to Lauder towels and was very difficult to contact and speck to the property Mgr.

Fun time in McCall
Mostly good, a nice well furnished property central to everything in McCall. A mile to Mile High Marina on the Lake, a few more steps to central area with restaurants like My Fathers Place, Ice Cream Alley and Foglifter. Barely 100 yards. Thru the woods to the fairways of McCall Golf Course, or 5 min. Drive to the Clubhouse. Fun course.
15 min. Drive to Jug Mountain Golf, a must play for golfers.
Kitchen very well supplied.
Low ratings: local property manager was totally non- responsive at check- in day help. The back deck furniture difficult to enjoy with sticky pine tree sap droppings on cushions. Part of the ambiance I guess. Otherwise, a great 2.5 week stay.

Hi Michael, I'm glad you mostly enjoyed your stay but I'm sorry to read your report of non-responsiveness. I've gone back through all the VRBO messages between you and I, my e-mail, and our call logs and I don't see a single missed interaction. For future guests, we answer the phones 24x7 and the number is clearly posted in the properties and available once you book. We typically move the patio furniture cushions in and out of the garage, so during your 21 day stay if you left them out they may have accumulated some sap and needles but we'll get that cleaned up before the next guests.
Very nice open front room and kitchen . Well stocked kitchen. Nice quiet neighborhood close to town and minutes from state park . Had a very relaxing time much needed . Our little puppy had a good time walking to town and swimming in the lake .
Caron's Cabin (Pet Friendly) near Ponderosa State Park
The cabin was well-stocked. Wish that there had been a paper with information about Wi-Fi, washer/dryer, etc. as we have had at other Vrbo properties. I emailed to ask about the piano in the picture and the property manager told me there was no piano. That was wrong! I schlepped a key-board all the way from Colorado...I was not happy about that! The soap dish in the first bathroom was hanging off the wall when we arrived. Called the manager to get it fixed...it was fixed the next afternoon--Sorta!! We appreciated the fenced in backyard for our dog.
We had a good stay visiting Ponderosa State Park where members of our family were camping. The close proximity was very convenient.

The house was very clean and the location is excellent to visit the park and downtown. The kitchen has everything you’d need.
Our stay would have been more comfortable if the house had air conditioning. It was so hot but you can’t predict weather and I rented several months in advance, didn’t consider looking for that on a rental. The entry has an uneven paver area which everyone tripped on quite often. The deck area has nice furniture and a grill. It is elevated about 3 feet and no barrier or fence around it, not great for small children.
House was clean and comfortable as advertised. Nice large back yard for our lab to run around in. Great, convenient location. Would definitely stay again.
It was comfortable and congenial. I was especially impressed with all the kitchen utensils, bakeware, mixing bowls, etc. that are available. It made cooking so easy. It is clean and spacious and accommodated our needs very well. We also appreciated the large backyard for the pets. It is certainly a very convenient location for the downtown area, lake, and state park. The only difficulty was obtaining information for the WIFI; we could not find it in the house nor on line. Nonetheless, we would not hesitate to stay again and hope to do so again next year. Thank you!
Home was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great location that was central to Everything from downtown shopping, restaurants, beaches, and State Forest.
We loved the location and especially the golf course walk so close. The fully stocked kitchen was very nice too.
Fireplace was dangerous for the toddler but the adults loved the heat. No garage door/opener access and only one key was not convenient.

Hi Juli, thank you for your feedback. To avoid losing keys we only provide a single key and suggest leaving it in the lockbox so that all members of your party can access it as needed. The garage is accessible, and available, but it needs to be opened from within the garage (again - openers kept walking off).
