Big Bear Retreat
Escape to the Idaho wilderness with a stay in this secluded cabin with views of mountains and valleys. This recreational oasis sits on the end of a working ranch directly adjacent to BLM land, allowing you to go fishing and wading in the Payette River on summer days.
A 10-mile drive from the cabin brings you to Tamarack Resort. You’re situated at the northern end of Cascade Lake, and while your stay certainly feels remote, you’ll be just seven miles from Donnelly and an 18-mile drive from McCall, where you’ll find grocery stores and restaurants. Be sure to bring your fishing poles, bikes, ATVs, and any other summer toys as well! This family-friendly cabin sits on hundreds of acres of private land, which are perfect for exploring. The spacious front deck with a gas grill sets the scene for dinner outside, with a picnic table and chairs seating up to 10. There is additional back deck space as well. Cuddle up around the indoor gas fireplace on chillier nights.
Big Bear Retreat has a rustic feel with all the comforts of home, including a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a washer and dryer. Fill your indoor evenings with games and shows on the two TVs. Book your family’s stay in this secluded cabin, and you’re one step closer to adventure!
