We booked this cabin for a Snowmobiling, New Years getaway with our kids. Unfortunately we were fairly disappointed with our overall experience in several aspects.
Upon arrival we discovered the cabin was NOT equipped to “sleep 10”, unless one couple wanted to sleep in a very creepy room in the garage! (Which appeared was not even cleaned up from last party’s stay, as bed was definitely in disarray)
Originally we picked this cabin because the description states “sleeps10”. Luckily our group ended up with only 6 adults, & two teens, who were able to utilize ONE of the tattered, broken down futons in the loft area.
Secondly, the day we were due to arrive we got an email that the pellet stove wasn’t working. With single digit temps this would have been nice to have after a very cold day of snowmobiling. Although, the master bedroom was extremely HOT the entire stay & we had to leave a window cracked at all times!!
Thirdly, the snow to walk ways, & or driveway wasn’t shoveled or clear upon our arrival Though, a maintenance guy did show up later in day to do this, & plowed driveway once afterwards.
After our FIRST night we were out of paper towels/tp & had to call vacasa to come restock. The 2nd day, the toilet handle in upstairs bath broke & had to get someone out to fix it. Plus bath sink in master was badly clogged, but we just dealt with it.
Linens were old, & very minimal.
In summary, the OVERALL feel & impression of the cabin was old, & worn. “RUSTIC” is ok in some aspects, but not when it comes to paying premium rental fees, you expect top notch necessities to be provided.
As an owner, who is expecting to receive top dollar for a rental, accommodations, basic services and general “comforts” should be provided. On the contrary, we felt several aspects were lacking in regards all of the mentioned concerns.
One could look past the dated, “RUSTIC” feel of this cabin, IF other items were in working, premium conditions. A few basic updates in furniture, sleeping accommodations, linens & services provided would definitely have made this a more pleasurable experience.
The positive was we were with family, & enjoyed our time together. We just had to make quite a few adjustments in regards to the negative aspects, to create a doable trip, with the lack of accommodations provided.
We will visit MCCALL again, but will not be booking these accommodations, nor would we recommend it to anyone.
