About this property

Beautiful Log Cabin. Close to McCall. Tranquil & Spacious.

This log cabin vacation rental in McCall, Idaho has a handcrafted touch throughout, with custom log furniture, local artwork, and even complimentary jam for your stay! The spacious 3 bedroom cabin sleeps 8, so there's plenty of room to stretch out in the loft, hang out at the bar or chill in the hammock with a hot or cold drink on the wrap-around covered deck.

This cabin is right next to state land, there is a great view from inside and plenty of forest to hike or snowshoe right off the deck. Only 3 miles from downtown! Cabin is near Payette Lake and 10 miles from Brundage Mountain Ski Resort. Tamarack Ski Resort is about 20 minutes away. Located up Warren Wagon Road.

This cabin has it all. At least, all you would ever need in a home sweet away from home. Vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace, covered deck, bamboo flooring, leather couches, local artwork and photography. The open loft features a futon with a big screen tv complete with a dvd collection with everyone's favorites. The perfect setting for a family BBQ, outside you have a grill and a view, and inside the kitchen comes fully stocked with everything you need to be chef, baker or griller extraordinaire.

There are three bedrooms (including master bedroom), each with a custom aspen queen log bed. Master bedroom features a beautifully tiled bathroom, large tub and shower with custom crafted vanity. If you need more beds, there is the sleeper sofa in the loft and 2 twin size mattresses, plenty of linens and blankets.

You will find a personal touch on the inside, with handcrafted log and wood furniture. The owner, Mark, has always had a way with his hands, and it shows in the craftsmanship. Log beds, stools, dining table, side tables, all crafted out of aspen and recycled dock wood.

Minimum stay of 2-3 nights.

Remember, the early booker gets the sweet cabin!

Weekend staycation

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!

Great place!

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.

Great private cabin in the woods

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!

Enjoyed by all.

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.

Back again--third time

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!

Seclusion in the woods

Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. We loved how it was built to look back at the endless woods it sits up against. Our kids had a great time exploring the woods and see wildlife daily. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed. The decore went so well with the rest of the cabin and set the mood for the "outdoors" experience we were looking for. We'll most surely make an effort to return in the future.

Vacation, July, 2020

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.

Perfect McCall vibe

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!

Family-Friendly Cabin Close to Skiing

Researched McCall area and this turned up. We were very impressed with the layout of the cabin and the architecture. Neat post frame cabin with an open layout and three bedrooms that worked well for us. Kitchen was well appointed, and the Trager grill was a bonus. I look forward to the possibility of staying here again. Maybe in the summer next time!

About the host

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.
