We had a wonderful stay at Hawks Bay Chalet! We got to have all our kids and grandkids under the same roof. The property was well appointed and had everything we could need. The staff made everything so easy. I would definitely rent with Frost Cabins again!

Great Stay & Location!

We stayed here for a weekend of boating in Lake Cascade with our group of 10. The location is very convenient and it was only about a 5min drive to the boat launch near Tamarack resort. The driveway had plenty of room for our 4 vehicles and boat with the gravel portion on the side of the paved driveway. Very spacious interior with many nice touches and decor. This was a summer stay in mid-July, but our group still utilized the hot tub and fire pit during the cooler evenings. The house was well equipped with the teens we had that love games and made ample use of the pool table and air hockey in the garage and fooseball in the large bedroom upstairs. Great stay and would use this place again for another boating stay or skiing adventure!

Hawks Bay Chalet

House is worn. Pictures were taken when it was new. Upper bedroom was unfit for use do to horrible smell and flooding. When we asked about the room smell, we were told with the amount of people we had we didn’t need to use it anyway. Dishes weren’t clean. House needs some upkeep.

Very clean and comfortable room to stretch out

We take a week long ski trip every winter as a family and this house had plenty of room for our large group. It was very clean and had plenty of dishes for us to cook with. We made every meal there loved the gas stove top. Do know though that the wifi is very limited in its ability to stream. But we just used a phone as a hot spot that allowed us to stream shows without buffering. Over great time.

Great Weekend

Great location. Only 10-15 minutes from Tamarack. Easy check-in process. Responsive management company. House was big enough that we could’ve brought more people. Very clean. Only criticism I have is that we were notified the day before we got there that the dishwasher went out but never had follow up on if it’d be repaired so we washed dishes the whole weekend which was fine. It would’ve been nice to know that no one was coming. The only other thing is that I wish they had a notebook or something that had a detailed explanation of how to operate the pellet stove, spa, garage heater, and thermostat. Previous renters had experienced issues with the spa being put in to sleep mode and I accidentally did the same thing. It took a lot of Google searching to figure out how to put it back in standard mode. The pellet stove was great but we weren’t sure if we could leave it on all day and the remote kept saying the house was only 54 degrees. The thermostat on the second floor was on a schedule and the first night we Froze even though we thought we turned the heat up. As it turns out if you turn the heat up and hit ‘ok’ it actually puts it back on the schedule. There is an air hockey table and a pool table in the garage but it was kinda cold and we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the ceiling mounted gas heater. A few basic instructions would be nice to make it a little easier for the renters. All that being said, it is a great house and plenty of room for all your kids. We would definitely stay again.

Clean & great location

This is a great house with lots of room if you have a large group staying here. It’s quiet & in a great neighborhood near lake. The master bed could have more pillows available and mattress could be a little more comfortable, but it’s very spacious along with the master bathroom. Instructions for the pellet stove could be a little more thorough, but it works good if you can figure it out. We would definitely stay here again.

Really enjoyed our weekend!

The cabin was clean with a well equipped kitchen. There is no outdoor or patio furniture so you will need to bring your own chairs. No grass for setting up corn hole, we did manage by putting it in the driveway. We enjoyed using the pool, foos, and air hockey tables. Spacious and very comfortable cabin!

Family reunion fun

The property was outstanding. Everybody had enough room for sleeping and the living room and kitchen area were awesome. The hot tub was fantastic and the back patio was pleasant. The only thing I would recommend would be to redo the directions to the cabin as they did not have the actual physical address or the correct street to turn on. It took us a while and a call to the property managers to find a place. Not too big a deal just slightly inconvenient. It is a great place and we would do it again.

Snowmobiling Trip

My group enjoyed our stay. Everything for the most part was good. Our suggestions for Improvements would include fixing the pool table, it was damaged when we arrived. The kitchen could be stocked with better quality knives, pots, pans, utensils. The hot tub did not maintain temperature when it was in use, so you might have the heating system inspected. We had to limit use and cover it so it would heat up. The beds were comfortable and the house felt clean. I would stay here again. Thanks, G

Wanted to love the house but could only like it - Needs some TLC

We were 3 couples that came to Idaho to do some motorcycle riding as well as other outdoor activities. Absolutely LOVED Idaho and our experiences. We really did want to love the house but really could only like it because it needs some TLC. We wanted to use the hot tub after a long day of outdoor activities but it was filthy. As this was one of the amenities highlighted on the VRBO listing, we were disappointed to not be able to use it. We didn't contact the property management company as it was usually late in the day when we returned and the information we had indicated the property management company regularly checks on the property to ensure everything is in order. It was noted in several places that trash day was Thursday am and to put out the trash cans on Wednesday night. It's actually Wednesday morning and thankfully someone put the trash cans out for us on Tuesday night but this is something that should be changed on the notices. (it's laminated and posted in 2 locations within the house so we were confident we had the correct information only for it not to be correct) Kitchen supplies - did someone steal all the spoons??? They also stole all the items for storage so we had no way to save our leftover food each night. This is usually a basic item in other homes we have rented. The downstairs bedroom that is advertised as a master suite (on the MLS listing as the house is for sale) is not a master suite but a room that was most likely an office and converted to a bedroom. VERY SMALL room with a Queen bed in it. Sheets! All sheets in the beds we occupied are in need of a refresh and an upgrade. They are Motel 6 quality bedding. For the size of this house and the quality advertised, the bedding was severely disappointing. Then to end our week, the electricity was turned off when we got back to the house on our last day in Idaho. Per the property management contact, it was turned off remotely for some unknown reason at 3pm. It took a call from the property manager to get the electricity turned back on at 8pm....no great last meal in the house for us. Thankfully, it stays light until 930pm so we were able to get some packing and cleaning up done before we left the next day at 6am. The location was okay, easy to find and in a nice and safe neighborhood. The house backs up to the only road going into the Tamarack Resort so it's not very relaxing to sit outside as this road is super busy at all hours of the day & night.

Nice, but for sale

I am trying to be fair with this review. The property management team does answer the phone and does respond, so that is a positive. My big issue is the amount of money we spent for the "days" we were there. Could not check in before 4:00 PM and had to be out by 11:00 AM or you would be charged another day. The cleaning crew was still there when we arrived, asking us to wait another 20 minutes (so we got in around 4:40 PM. They had a showing earlier that day, and evidently some HVAC work done the day before, because the cap to a gas line in the garage had been left off. Thankfully we found it and got the cap back on. The HVAC unit is also extremely loud. When it kicks on, it sounds like someone is starting up a motorcycle in the garage. The home is nice enough, but we have 4 elderly / disabled people that cannot climb stairs very well. The only bedroom on the main level is small and has glass "den" doors, so everyone can see you. There is a murphy bed in the front sitting room, but again, there are no window coverings, so everyone driving by can see inside. There are a lot of beds upstairs, but the bathrooms are inside bedrooms. So, if you stay in the bonus room, or room off the bonus room, you have to either go into someone else's bedroom to use the restroom, or go downstairs again. The home is nice enough, don't get me wrong. It is close to the road and you are able to locate it easily. The neighborhood is nice and many places are being built. The house has it's issues like every house does. It just didn't flow as well as I had hoped and was not as accessible for our elderly people. And when you pay for 3 days, you only really get 43 hours.
