What Our Guests Are Saying

Book it!!! We had the most magical stay, views are unbelievable! Eagles return there every winter. We saw 50 one day, and throughout our trip all over this area. Many right from the deck! You can see Mineral Ridge from the house, go hike it, absolutely magnificent.
The home was spotless, spacious, and cozy. We had plenty of room, plenty of bathrooms, and loved the huge hot tub. Kitchen fabulous and functional!
We saw two local deer many times throughout our stay.
If you are staying in Idaho, this is the place you want to be.

My family and I visit CDA multiple times a year and were very excited to find a place so close to my sister that had bedrooms for everyone. The place was clean, the neighborhood was quiet, and the beds were comfortable. Very straightforward check-in. We cooked meals every day together and had everything we needed – kitchen was very well stocked. We had plenty of space and our dogs loved the large yard. Will absolutely book again in the future!

Perfect stay for our girls group of 7. The team was very responsive to our questions and prompt. Recommended to the team a little more details on working the digital lock and that you need to pull the door tightly closed for the deadbolt to lock. Stairs are narrow to the upstairs and a railing would help for small children and older people who need some assistance. Overall a wonderful stay with a well stocked kitchen and big refrigerator.

Our large family of 15 stayed at this wonderful home over Christmas. The home and property are beautiful and there was plenty of room for us to enjoy our Christmas morning in the large main living area. The children enjoyed the games, toys and TV room downstairs which was perfect to give everyone lots of room to enjoy their own space. The property managers were amazing and were very fast to respond to a question we had even though it was Christmas Eve. We really enjoyed our stay!

Our stay at the Hygge house was perfect. We had only 4 folks, but we were cooking Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was perfect.
We also enjoyed the basement with the electric fireplace, it was so cozy.
We were within 2 blocks of a grocery store where the folks were so nice, just around the corner from a wine bar, a burger place with ice cream and only 10 blocks to downtown. We had a great time.
We had one issue with a blown fuse and the owners were over to fix it in 5 minutes, it was amazing, thanks!

Loved this home! It is perfect for a large group! The home is decorated nicely, kitchen is perfect for large family dinners and the location is ideal! We hiked Tubbs Hill, walked to Sherman Ave and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Will come back in the summer!

This was a great four bedroom house for our family visiting the area. The layout was good and the spaces were great for gathering. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The property was very clean and well kept. The garage had all kinds of games and toys, perfect for the area. Contact with the rental agency was great, although we never needed anything as it was all good! The location so close to downtown was perfect. We walked many times and left the car. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We would stay here again and recommend for large groups.

We had several families come together for Christmas at the house. There was plenty of room for everyone and the location was perfect.

We really loved this house. It was so comfortable and worked very well for our family of 4. It could easily accommodate more people. We really liked the location as well. We could walk to Sherman Street for shopping and restaurants. Everything was easy. I will rent this home again!

Beautiful home, lovely location. Kitchen was well equipped. Home decorated well, even had holiday touches. Wonderful accommodation for an extended family holiday, plenty of room to spread out, cool game room. Will definitely consider for another time.

This is an incredible property! Family from WA and MT meet in CDA yearly for Thanksiving. There is so much to love about this house. The layout is wonderful for multiple families. Kitchen was well equipped even for a Thanksgiving dinner(except the potato masher!) Plenty of room for multiple cooks! Hot tub and gym certainly a bonus. Loved the location for walking to parks and town. We had an absolutely wonderful time together.

Enjoyed having the open living room for our family murder mystery party. It was comfortable and cozy. Sleeping spaces were able to accommodate us and because the kitchen was so well stocked, we cooked all of our meals. Would love to stay there during the summer months!

This house was just perfect for our multi family weekend trip. It’s walking distance to the downtown shops, restaurants and bars. Hosts were very good at communicating. Would definitely stay at this gorgeous home again.

Good for a large group of people

The property was truly amazing! Beautiful house that was perfect for a large group. Fit 5 couples comfortably. We loved the hot tub, playing games at the massive table and how close of a walk to DT it was. Would stay again.

My husband, our two boys (11 and 13) and I stayed at the property over Christmas. It was a great property for us! The view over the lake was amazing from the awesome living room windows. Our boys loved the pool and ping pong. We enjoyed hours of board game fun in the downstairs game room. Communication with the property managers was excellent and they provided amazing local recommendations. Close to CDA and Hayden but far enough to enjoy the beautiful nature/views at the house.

We were very pleased with Elk Country Lodge. It gave our family enough space to feel like we could all be together or have some quiet place to just unwind. Everyone commented on how nice the home was and they wanted to do another trip there next year so, very pleased with the stay.

Our stay at this home was incredible. We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to prepare and enjoy an entire thanksgiving feast with several people and kids. The home was so welcoming and comfortable. It made our vacation so relaxing. Perfect spot to get families together, thank you!!

Great space with lots of fun activities for kiddos. Walkable to downtown, we enjoyed it very much!

Great place to stay and spend time with family.

Pristine home, packed with all the needed amenities
Fantastic location, amazing views and very comfortable home overall. Liked the brand new (or so they all seemed) appliances, kitchen ware, and how clean all the space was. Would have enjoyed having a fireplace we could have used but I understand the liability.
Awesome hot tub!
Would definitely recommend to my friends

Beautiful place. Close to downtown. Jacuzzi was awesome. View couldn’t be better of the lake.

This home is magical. The feeling inside is like home. It’s large yet livable. The views are amazing. Everything was thought of. The kitchen has every imaginable appliance, spice and cookware. Our kids loved the hot tub, our friends and family were comfortable and everyone had the best time. Highly recommend this home. Such a wonderful experience.

Wildcat Creek Lodge was fabulous for our family 2023 Thanksgiving!! The house was very accurately portrayed on the VRBO website. It was very clean, great beds, towels, kitchen was well stocked… It has great TV and sound systems, ping pong, piano, hot tub, all exceeded our expectation. We received consistent communication from the Vacation Rental Authority which made checking in and out easy. They even left a turkey roasting pan. We could not have asked for more. We recommend the house and management company.
