Cute, Pet Friendly Cabin with Hot Tub

Make lasting memories with your family at this laid-back, dog-friendly Donnelly cottage. This remodeled A-frame is a charming throwback to simpler times, but has been lovingly maintained with all the modern amenities of home.  New in 2021: Hot Tub and Air Conditioning Coming Soon!  

Relax next to the gas fireplace for a movie or board game. You'll have endless viewing opportunities with the WiFi and Smart TV (Roku) and DVD player.  Take the opportunity to enjoy the well-equipped kitchen.

Guests are allowed to access the entire cottage. While pet friendly, not all pets will be allowed. Please inquire before booking to receive approval.

Ponderosa Lane is located just west of the town of Donnelly and off of South Norwood Road.  The cottage is located on a large lot (one acre) and there are trees separating it from nearby vacation cabins.  While it's not totally secluded, you will not feel crowded.  It is across the street from Cascade Lake.  There is no community boat dock but the Donnelly boat docks are about two miles away, where you may relax on the beach and launch your watercraft.  This cabin is minutes from the attractions and recreation of Donnelly, Idaho. The surrounding national forests are full of trails and Tamarack Resort is about 10 minutes away. McCall is about 20 minutes to the north.

Sleeping up to 6 adults and 2 infants, this home has an upstairs bedroom with a queen-size bed, a master with a brand new sleep number queen bed, and a full-sized sofa bed in the living room. The full bathroom on the main floor has a jetted soaker tub and the upstairs 1/2 bath is tiny, but handy if you don't want to walk down the stairs at night.

The nearby town of Donnelly has a handful of restaurants and boutique shops and a gas station/convenience store that carries any items you may have left behind.


This home is pet friendly, but pre-approval is required in all instances. Prior to booking, please submit the pet breed, weight and age. For approved pets, there is a fee per pet.

This cottage is accessible year round and is located on a completely level lot about 3 miles from the town of Donnelly, on your way to Tamarack Ski Resort. Roads and driveway are all paved and snow removal service is provided all winter.
Thank you for considering us for your vacation! Please take a moment to review our policies:

Reservation Terms: Full rent is due immediately unless a payment plan was pre-approved.

Pets: Not all properties are pet friendly. (ONLY DOGS ALLOWED AT PET FRIENDLY PROPERTIES) Where allowed, pets require pre-approval before booking and a $75 fee PER pet will be assessed and must be paid prior to arrival. Approval of pets are determined by several factors. Ex: age, weight, breed, amount of shedding and sex. If approval is granted but the pet fee(s) are not paid, a pet will be considered unauthorized. A $500 penalty (per pet) will be assessed to the primary guest if there is evidence that unauthorized animal(s) were outside and/or inside the cabin at any point during your stay. In addition, a group with an unauthorized pet might be asked to immediately depart, with no refund. In any event, damage done by a pet will incur an additional charge, whether authorized or unauthorized.

Hot Tub: If this home has a hot tub (not all homes have hot tubs), please follow hot tub guidelines; a $150 charge applies for "drain and fill."

Wi-Fi: As cabins are frequently located in a rural area, please be prepared for slow/spotty Wi-Fi and internet. Management makes every effort to ensure the Wi-Fi is in working condition, but cannot guarantee the internet will always be reliable, and will not permit refunds due to Wi-Fi/internet issues.

Management is not responsible for the following: fires, smoke, algae bloom, water levels of the lake, lack of snow, abundance of snow, changing of the seasons, temperature highs, temperature lows, power outages, rain, mud, ice, etc. We are also not responsible for insects and/or animals (including: mosquitos, ants, spiders, bats, bears, deer, mice, mountain lions, bobcats, any animals that get into trash, or their droppings.) With being located in the mountains, we do our best to prevent these issues, however there are instances where it is inevitable. There will be no refund for any of the above listed issues. Thank you!

Super cute cabin in the woods. Easy to find & great parking. Upstairs bedroom is a tight spiral staircase but it’s doable. Loft is open to below. Super comfortable king bed in main bedroom. Great hot tub & fire pit. Would definitely recommend this location!

Cute A-Frame Cabin
This was a very cute cabin, hot tub was nice. Garage is listed in VRBO listing, but after looking into to it, it is not available for guests. Mini split for heat in bedroom was not very clear on how to use, and after we looked up instructions on the internet the second night, it was very loud and hard to sleep with it on. The sleep number bed was very comfortable, but no remote for any adjusting.

Wonderful, Peaceful Stay in Donnelly
My family had such an amazing experience! We loved the house so much. It was well stocked, clean, cozy, and perfectly decorated. There was so much snow and it just made for the perfect weekend. We went in the hot tub in the snow and enjoyed movies and family games at night. Frost Cabins is so easy to work with and incredibly informative. They are wonderful at communicating and have awesome rentals! Can't wait to come back in the summer!!

Cozy Cabin
This was a nice really cute comfortable cabin. The location was great for our needs and the setting is beautiful. Our only complaint is that the King sized bed is actually two twin sized beds put together but made up separately. They were comfortable.

Excellent stay! Check in and out was super easy! Quaint cabin with everything we needed to have a relaxing weekend. The only downside was due to weather snow was piled in front of garage parking and we had to shovel it, but everything else was great! Highly recommend Little Ponderosa

Donnelly Stay
We enjoyed the cabin but an extra garbage bag would have been nice and the carpet In the bedroom downstairs was very stained but we do not go barefoot in rentals anyway. The first 2 Kitchen glasses I pulled out of the cupboard were dirty. We had no malfunctions of anything and even with the 2 small conditions above would definitely stay again as it Is close to the rowing clinic we attend.
