Wonderful home!

We had a lovely stay! Kids had a great time sledding down the hill in the backyard, playing in the woods. Home was clean and perfect for our group of 12! The only downside was the water in Donnely tastes strongly of iron. Be prepared to purchase bottled water for your stay.

Lovely

This property worked well for our group of 5 adults and 2 under 2. Nice sized living/kitchen area along with great sleeping arrangements. We brought a wide baby gate to portion off the stairs leading to the walkout basement which provided us with some peace of mind. Would readily recommend this property.

Perfect place for a family to Stay!

This is our 2nd time staying at this home. It fits our needs perfectly. The home is clean and is stocked with everything you will need. The kitchen is fully stocked as well. There are stairs that go upstairs and a set that goes downstairs, bring baby gates if you have toddlers and the stairs are extra wide so out normal width gates did not fit. Host is super responsive if you need anything!

Perfect basecamp for adventure

This Donnelly property was a great location and the cabin is beautiful. We had 3 families, each with 2 children (12 total) and were very comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed making dinners in easy. The kids loved the basement game room while the adults relaxed on the covered porch. Day trips to Tamarack, public beaches on Lake Cascade, biking at Jug Mountain, and Ponderosa State Park were all very easy. The owner was responsive and timely to a few questions we had before our trip. Would stay again.

Great winter getaway

Nice home tucked quietly away in the mountains in Donnelly. Stayed over the Christmas holiday; a snowstorm the night before made for a beautiful white Christmas. Host had provided a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and other holiday decor which our family and grandkids loved. Saw the reviews about the strong-smelling, sulphur tasting water; nice to see the host had a filtered pitcher in the fridge, but we could still smell it strongly in the bathrooms. Probably the most frustrating thing was no reliable WiFi; but hey that’s rural Idaho. Would stay again. Thanks for the visit.

Donnelley property

The property was overall well kept, however the bedding was not clean in all rooms. I would suggest letting people know there are a couple “shady” houses nearby, that there is no deck in the back, no tv in bedrooms, and that the water smells like sulfer.

Not Clean Enough

It was a beautiful cabin in a great location, but not clean enough. For example, the refrigerator had food debris in it and smear marks on the outside, the microwave and stove had a lot of food spatter, the silverware drawer and many cupboards had crumbs throughout. The cabinets throughout the kitchen needed a good scrubbing. A pair of tongs were in a drawer with what appeared to be bbq sauce and meat grease all over them. Many things were covered in dust and lint. There was a throw blanket with hair all over it. There were not enough linens provided for the amount of ppl staying to take a shower every day without doing laundry. There were only two dish towels in the kitchen. The linens were clean though!

We had a wonderful time. It was so cold the sledding hill was closed but we were toasty warm in this cabin. We tripped the breaker using the coffee maker, toaster, and waffle maker at the same time. Would love to stay again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Amber Joslyn

Host profile image
We built our dream cabin in Donnelly idaho for our family of four to be able to enjoy the great outdoors with our young family. We enjoy skiing at the local resorts Tamarack and Brundage and love boating on Cascade and Payette lake. We only have one rental, and this is it! We have been renting our cabin since 2007. We work to provide the best experience since we don't rely on 3rd parties to fix issues and provide a personnel experience and treat you how we would like to be treated.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is centrally located to enjoy all the nearby recreation. The Great room and Kitchen have an amazing elevated view of the forest that makes you forget about city life. As mentioned earlier we are skiiers! This home was built to preserve our winters. It features Green construction technology. South facing windows allows passive solar heating in the winter keeping the main room very warm on sunny winter days. The floor tiles that collect the heat in the winter also cool the cabin throughout the day in the summer if windows are cracked open at night. We have two seasonal 1 ton AC units for main and upper floor to help on those extra hot days. The basement also provides relief. during any extreme weather. The roof features spray foam insulation keeping the interior comfortable in all seasons.

What makes this property unique

Great location. Three floors to spread out. Two living areas. Situated for forest views to the south and mountain views to the west. We enjoy the warm waters of Cascade lake in the summer, multiple beaches to choose from, and close proximity to Tamarack resort. Deer frequent out property often and the great room provides a great viewing location in all seasons.
