We stayed over Christmas and it was such a cozy and sweet cabin which was equipped with a Christmas tree. The check-in was so easy and the location was gorgeous and close to so many beautiful trails and walkways.
Great location, warm and cozy cabin with all of the amenities of home. I highly recommend it! We especially enjoyed cozying up to the wood burning stove at night.
We enjoyed our stay, and were very happy they allowed us to bring our dog family with us! The only negative I would say, is that the home isn’t the cleanest…and there was a pet urine smell that was pretty strong upstairs. Other than that, being walking distance to a beach was great!
Great weekend get away cabin . Close to the lake and town . Clean and well stocked ! Loved it

nice little cabin
for a small cabin, it was nice. the mattresses were a bit stiff and bumpy, but It was a cool little cabin with everything we needed to have a good time.
With the exception of the killer deer that attacked my dog while sitting on the patio, overall stay was great! Kinda needs a deep clean to get rid of cobwebs in corners and dust bunnies under furniture, but had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. (Might want to think about a new mattress in downstairs bedroom. Was like trying to sleep on a hammock -lol)We had a great time though. Thanks for letting us stay in your cute little cabin!
Overall, it was a nice cozy cabin, we did find a little dust, and one blanket would leave brown little furball‘s on the bed and on you, it was a older blanket. I would recommend getting rid of it. I would stay at this cabin again.
Cute little cabin. On the road too Ponderosa State Park so the only traffic is park traffic or residents. Very quiet. Ready walk to the park or to downtown.
Our stay at our rental was perfect. We liked the walking paths in the park and the short distance to the beaches. We loved being able to bring our dog, but dogs are not aloud on beaches so that was a little inconvenient. We have no complaints about our cabin. Nice, clean, and cozy !
The Little Cabin at Ponderosa Park is a time capsule of McCall. Blending old with new the charm of this cabin is the feel of days gone by. Although the kitchen has been updated with new appliances the rest of the cabin has kept its charm from the past providing an authentic experience of a little cabin in the woods. The Little Cabin provided a cozy retreat during my stay with the first of the season’s snowfall.
Statically located within walking distances of Davis Beach and Ponderosa State Park Visitor Center you could easily ditch the car. Downtown McCall is a 10 minutes’ walk away.

Cozy and Nice location
The only con I have for the whole thing is I thought there was three bedrooms, but one of the rooms was a loft with a bed in it, and you had to walk through it to get to the other upstairs bedroom. Travelling with an infant, we wanted a third bedroom to give us some space but didn't have that. THe other thing was that the floors was super gross. Anyone with a toddler gets to see how dirty floors are as they crawl around or spill their snacks from the chair, and the floor was really nasty. Overall the property was nice and would be really great for a smaller family with a couple kids or what not, and its location is really good. Just a little small for our needs it turned out. The property management was very responsive while we were there and I appreciate that.
Short walk to the park. Short drive to town. Very convenient. Two bedrooms are upstairs and not listed as that on the site and was ok for us but might affect others.
This cabin is well equipped.
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy little cabin. Comfortably fit my wife and I plus our 3 kids (ages 6-11) and dog. Location right outside Ponderosa State Park was perfect. Rode our bikes to the park to enjoy the beach and trails. Would definitely stay there again.
Stayed for over a week. Relatively nice place, great location. Definitely rustic and simple, but it was clean and comfortable. Cabin can be a little warm on summer days. Everything was in working order. Would stay again.
The cabin is at a wonderful location. There is some minor repair work that needs to be done. They aren’t big things but the fact that they aren’t done is annoying. The front door sticks badly, the front deck needs replaced and the device holding up the trap door to the second floor is unsafe.

Would Never Recommend
Front door sticks 1/4 open. Nail heads trip you on shakey porch. No directions for live tv use. Many spider webs in 1st floor bedroom 3 feet from your head. Bathroom door blocks toilet. No water pressure in kitchen. Patio filthy.
No dishwasher . Broken cooking utensils. Crusty toaster. Pictures very deceiving. Basically unrentable until much work and cleanup. Sorry. Extremely disappointed.
