Escape to the mountains for fresh Idaho air, pastoral woodland views, and plentiful fun near the water at Shep's Hideout. This child-friendly home has a wonderful outdoor entertaining space, a tastefully designed interior, and lots of comfortable, easy charm. Spend beautiful summer days outside on the expansive deck, where you can listen to the sounds of the passing river, grill a few steaks, and watch your kids play in the yard below. Roast marshmallows into the evening around the outdoor firepit, and cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace as you watch a movie on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV.

We enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and everything was made simple from start to finish.
Great space, really appreciated the cleanliness, comfort and privacy of the lot/location.
The house was not clean when we arrived. We found pizza in a drawer. A sock in the bathroom. Wet stinky towels. And poop in the toilet. The tv didn’t work. Had two different guys come to fix it. The cups were not microwaveable. I burned my hand on one. There is a large deck but no outdoor inning table. No instructions about anything in the house.
Great place with a quiet location, sleeps 8 men and there gear comfortably, and we had tons of wildlife in the area
Loved the home. I would stay their again. They were a little short on supplies. We had to buy dishwasher soap and we only had 4 garbage bags.
Location, proximity to town and lake, solitude, comfortable, and plenty of room for lots of ppl.
There’s plenty of space for multiple families. My family, my sister and her family, and my brother and his wife all stayed here. We had a great time playing games and visiting. The location is perfect, it’s a quick drive downtown and not far from Ponderosa State Park.
It’s a real home away from home with soooo many rooms with places for a big group to sleep. Close to everything!!! It was just my wife and I and we had plenty of room to stretch out. Only complaint was no remote. For the family room tv upstairs. Other than that I would recommend this home to everyone
Beds/furniture—uncomfortable/wobbly. Cable TV/sound system not available as advertised. No instructions for TVs, sound system or fireplace. One TV wasn’t connected and no Ruko remote. Back deck, fire pit and entire curtilage was covered with several feet of snow. No snow shovel until after 24+ hours. These amenities couldn’t be used since they couldn’t be safely accessed. To clear areas, would take several hours. Photos available. Vacasa staff was useless, obtuse and unprofessional. The door and lockbox codes did not work. Couldn’t reach Vacasa but after ~15 min in 18°, I figured they mixed an asterisk in the codes. Inside temp was 52°. Took a long time to heat inside. Vacasa troubleshot TVs. Spoke to 3 people and repeated the same measures, they referred all concerns to local office but it wouldn’t be until the following day they called. The responding people from Vacasa were awful. Both were unprofessional/condescending and didn’t find instructions orgivehelp to resolve any issues. One called a manager to get the property owner to add Spectrum app so we could watch TV but manager said she didn’t want to bother the owner Christmas Eve. They didn’t make any effort to fix the TV issues the following days either. To connect second TV, they unplugged the carbon monoxide alarm and left it on the floor. Instead of cable TV, they said we should watch TV with other apps or Apple TV which we weren’t familiar with. They suggested we watch YouTube to learn other ways to use TV rather than bother owner to add Spectrum app. I asked associate and maintenance person to elevate issues to Vacasa management. They both responded that I would have to do that and they were only there to fix things but nothing was fixed. I asked why they would not elevate our concerns, then maintenance person started yelling at me and got very aggressive making my wife very uncomfortable. Associate had to calm the maintenance person and seemed to hold her as to hold her back. I asked them to leave but the associate calmed the maintenance person but both continued to be unprofessional and the maintenance person remained aggressive and bully-like. I called Vacasa to describe what happened and asked for management to be notified. I only got a two-line text from same associate, who wrote, I am sorry if we upset you and your wife. I was just trying to make your stay more enjoyable.” The employees’ ruined our entire stay. We felt Vacasa didn’t care about our concerns or satisfaction.
Shep’s Hideout was perfect. The home is comfortable and spacious and has a great layout and location. The large back deck was the perfect place to gather on a warm summer evening. The kitchen is well stocked and made it convenient for preparing meals. Our only complaint is not necessarily for the owner or the house cleaner, but for guests. Please, please rinse your dirty dishes before putting them in the dishwasher! I would not hesitate to book this house again!
