My Husband and I booked a 4 night stay for the beginning of spring break and thought we found a nice relaxing place there in McCall. However, since the moment we got there it was a huge disappointment. Starting off on the driveway, they never plowed it after a snow storm and so the driveway became an ice rink.
To continue on the outside, the small 3 foot wide walkway is scattered with black ice. This is a combination from driveway way runoff and the 8 inches of ice and snow on the roof. It’s one decent warm day away from all that ice sliding off and damaging the house or worse, hit someone. Also lots of beer bottles laying around the backyard, probably broken. We didn’t want to go near them because we don’t know where the glass bottles start and stop. Rating on outside, 1 and dangerous.
On the inside, it is either still under renovation or they did a hack job remodeling. Paint on the floors, counters, and doors. They used brown shag carpet so if it gets dirty no one can tell. Easier to say it’s clean if it’s all dirty.
The kitchen is a joke, offer 3 basic items for cooking. An unusable 6 inch fry pan, a 12 inch saucer pan, and a 3 quart pot. They provided a 4 person living space with 1 coffee mug.
When we decided to try and make something in the kitchen, low and behold the dishes were dirty. I spent a good potion of that morning cleaning the place up so we could try and enjoy it. We didn’t pay for this place just for us to spend our time cleaning it. Especially when there is a large cleaning fee!!
And lastly, but absolutely the worst thing is the bed. The mattress itself is old and caves in making it impossible to get a decent night sleep, not to mention the sheets are pilling and do not fit the bed. The bed frame is also old, broken, and squeaky. You cough and the bed moves. Inside rating: 1
This is a company who just buys homes and rents them out (about 100 nationwide). They clearly don’t visit to do property checks and maintain it. I hope this review will get them to come up and update everything so future guests can enjoy McCall for the beauty it has to offer.
