Shep's Hideout

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape to the mountains for fresh Idaho air, pastoral woodland views, and plentiful fun near the water at Shep's Hideout. This child-friendly home has a wonderful outdoor entertaining space, a tastefully designed interior, and lots of comfortable, easy charm. Spend beautiful summer days outside on the expansive deck, where you can listen to the sounds of the passing river, grill a few steaks, and watch your kids play in the yard below. Roast marshmallows into the evening around the outdoor firepit or watch a movie on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV.

What's nearby:
This peaceful property sits two miles southwest of the heart of downtown McCall, which is easily reached by car or by bike. When the weather is warm, you can swim, kayak, fish, or sunbathe on one of the beaches on beautiful Payette Lake. You'll also be only three miles west of the McCall Golf Club and four miles southwest of hiking, biking, fishing, and boating at Ponderosa State Park. In late fall, winter, and early spring, this hideout is a wonderful home base for winter sports enthusiasts. For downhill skiing and snowboarding, Brundage Mountain Resort is less than 10 miles away. The nearby national forests and state parks boast miles upon miles of backcountry trails for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing as well.

Roomy and good location.
The house was not clean when we arrived. We found pizza in a drawer. A sock in the bathroom. Wet stinky towels. And poop in the toilet. The tv didn’t work. Had two different guys come to fix it. The cups were not microwaveable. I burned my hand on one. There is a large deck but no outdoor inning table. No instructions about anything in the house.

Terrible Experience
Beds/furniture—uncomfortable/wobbly. Cable TV/sound system not available as advertised. No instructions for TVs, sound system or fireplace. One TV wasn’t connected and no Ruko remote. Back deck, fire pit and entire curtilage was covered with several feet of snow. No snow shovel until after 24+ hours. These amenities couldn’t be used since they couldn’t be safely accessed. To clear areas, would take several hours. Photos available. Vacasa staff was useless, obtuse and unprofessional. The door and lockbox codes did not work. Couldn’t reach Vacasa but after ~15 min in 18°, I figured they mixed an asterisk in the codes. Inside temp was 52°. Took a long time to heat inside. Vacasa troubleshot TVs. Spoke to 3 people and repeated the same measures, they referred all concerns to local office but it wouldn’t be until the following day they called. The responding people from Vacasa were awful. Both were unprofessional/condescending and didn’t find instructions orgivehelp to resolve any issues. One called a manager to get the property owner to add Spectrum app so we could watch TV but manager said she didn’t want to bother the owner Christmas Eve. They didn’t make any effort to fix the TV issues the following days either. To connect second TV, they unplugged the carbon monoxide alarm and left it on the floor. Instead of cable TV, they said we should watch TV with other apps or Apple TV which we weren’t familiar with. They suggested we watch YouTube to learn other ways to use TV rather than bother owner to add Spectrum app. I asked associate and maintenance person to elevate issues to Vacasa management. They both responded that I would have to do that and they were only there to "fix things" but nothing was fixed. I asked why they would not elevate our concerns, then maintenance person started yelling at me and got very aggressive making my wife very uncomfortable. Associate had to calm the maintenance person and seemed to hold her as to hold her back. I asked them to leave but the associate calmed the maintenance person but both continued to be unprofessional and the maintenance person remained aggressive and bully-like. I called Vacasa to describe what happened and asked for management to be notified. I only got a two-line text from same associate, who wrote, "I am sorry if we upset you and your wife. I was just trying to make your stay more enjoyable.” The employees’ ruined our entire stay. We felt Vacasa didn’t care about our concerns or satisfaction.

Perfect quiet get away
Shep’s Hideout was perfect. The home is comfortable and spacious and has a great layout and location. The large back deck was the perfect place to gather on a warm summer evening. The kitchen is well stocked and made it convenient for preparing meals. Our only complaint is not necessarily for the owner or the house cleaner, but for guests. Please, please rinse your dirty dishes before putting them in the dishwasher! I would not hesitate to book this house again!

Perfect Weekend Getaway!
This was great for a few of us who just wanted a weekend away. We were so thankful there was a kitchen for us to cook all of our meals and enjoyed warming up after spending time in the snow. Thanks for having us!

Cabin Surrounded by Trees & Deer
We loved this cabin in McCall. We enjoyed walking around the subdivision & spotting it's wild residents (deer). The cabin is surrounded by trees and surprisingly private even though you are in town. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 to share this place with our friends (family of 3). There was plenty of room for seating/dining/gaming. We loved the wood fireplace. It was our favorite thing. The kitchen had pretty much everything you could want. The washer/dryer were new. The supplies (toilet paper, garbage bags, etc.) were adequate. We used the grill several times even though it was freezing outside. Someone plowed the driveway while we were on an outing. We were grateful for that! The house was very clean when we arrived. Everything was in good repair with 2 minor exceptions (the main bathroom towel bar fell off with a slight touch and the bedroom closest to the front door had a bedframe that was wobbly due to a loose wheel). I few suggestions for the homeowners would be to cover the wood pile, add a garbage disposal, provide a pizza cutter, purchase new fluffy pillows & remove a tree or 2 from the driveway (it was tricky to get a full size truck between the trees).

Loved the layout! Great Location. One thing I really wish was that firewood was provided, we love to have fires in the fireplace and it was a pain & another expense to get from local store. I've rented lots of places with fireplaces & all of them provided plenty of wood.

Spring break ski trip
The house is plenty spacious to be able to stretch out and relax after skiing all day. We cooked multiple meals while there they have all the utensils and cutlery and accessories needed. Bring your own spices and goods for cooking obviously but they had some basics salt and pepper and a few others. Overall great experience in a beautiful setting over looking the Creek below.

Great house
We really enjoyed this house for our vacation 8 adults and everyone had their own bed. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of seating for mingling. We rent vrbos every winter for our trips and this was one of the best ones we've rented. Thanks and we'll be looking forward to coming back to McCall again.

Winter family ski trip
Nice and very clean. The clothes dryer did not work when we arrived and our trip was 4 nights so that was a big inconvenience for a large family of skiers. Has a nice wood fire place but bring your own kindling and fire wood as they do not provide it which was disappointing given other places we have stayed with wood fireplaces. There is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink which was odd and not ideal. They also do not have a sufficient amount of pots and pans if you’re cooking for a large family. The bedding in the master bedroom was not sufficient for this time of year and the home got cold but we could not change the thermostat. All and all, it was a nice place with plenty of beds for a large family.

Overall a good place that my family and I enjoyed
Overall we were happy with this place. It was clean and in a good location. A few things we didn't like are the air conditioning didn't work so it was very hot inside especially upstairs and the BBQ on the deck was soooo dirty it was gross and we didn't feel comfortable using it because of this. Other than those things it was great.

Great place
Location is perfect. Two blocks from the beach and two blocks from Washington Blvd on a great pedestrian street. Sheri was very helpful. The only negative is that without air conditioning you have to keep the windows open. That gives you a nice breeze but also lets in street and neighbor noise. Never much of a problem but could be.
