RECOMMENDATIONS: \*If you're flying into Boise International Airport, we recommend renting a vehicle directly from the airport. \*It's possible to get an Uber from Boise/BOI to McCall, although it's not necessarily a reliable mode of travel; depending on your arrival time and season, you may have difficulty finding a driver who will accept your ride. Uber is not currently accepting advance reservations for trips to McCall from Boise; on-demand rides will be your only option. \*If you're traveling in winter or you plan to enjoy the many off-roading adventures available in Valley County, we HIGHLY recommend a 4WD vehicle. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Concierge services - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Next to a golf course - On a lake ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,499 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120690000/120688800/120688722/ab7572a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Luxury with Stunning Tamarack Views Donnelly - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=120688722&PinnedHotelID=120688722&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105250000/105249300/105249246/12d8154f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New!
