My husband and I wanted a wedding where we could explore and adventure while giving our families…read moretime to connect away from the distraction of phones and email. My expectations for the weekend were blown out of the water (literally) in the first ten minutes on the jet boat ride. I don't think we stopped smiling for 3 days. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for a wedding if rivers and mountains hold a piece of your heart. The staff was incredibly fun and accommodating. Dax is the cutest 6 year old host you'll ever meet and I felt almost no stress before the wedding because I knew Joni had everything under control. If you want a wild jet boat ride, jump on Bucks boat ;) Mackay Bar is truly a hidden gem in Idaho. All of my friends and family are texting me that we forever ruined their expectation of a wedding. Sunset horseback rides, fishing, hiking and phenomenal food. I am forever grateful for our wedding weekend and Mackay Bar and we are plotting to get back there as soon as possible.

When your looking for an outfitter/guide service the most important question is "do I want to spend…read morea week with these folks?" With Mackay Bar I can tell you that the answer is a definitive yes! I could write a memoire but I'll keep this short and sweet; amazing accommodations and even better people. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some time, book Mackay Bar now.

I'm not much of a Yelper but felt called to come on here and share my experience…read more Firstly, I was shocked by the rudeness of one of their staff members, didn't catch her name. She's a little bigger, brunette with a lot of tattoos. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day, or just having a hard time in general, but there was a meanness in her that was completely unwarranted. Secondly, from a horsemanship perspective, these horses were not in good shape. Dirty, cinched up, waiting on the rail, saddled up in the heat all the day type of "horsemanship". Not my style and definitely not something I recommend supporting. There's a better way and I hope they find it! The only reason I give one star, rather than no stars is because Cindy our trail guide was a gem.

So glad to have found this place on a camping trip to Ponderosa Campground! A professional business…read morewith extremely knowledgeable and experienced staff. I had the pleasure of having Baileigh as my guide on a solo trek to the viewpoint. Was like taking a ride with a great friend, and was the most fun I had on my trip to McCall. With a passion for horses that can not be measured combined with many years of experience, I always felt that I was in capable hands on the trail. Some of the best things come in small packages! My horse, Timmy, had a gentle temperament, and was very well behaved. Taking a horseback ride like this takes you back to a much simpler time that is both relaxing and exhilarating; quite a rare combination! Sky was able to fit me in without a reservation, since I had not known about the place in advance, and was very accommodating on short notice. Be sure to reserve in summer though! After having such a great experience, I plan to return to take a ride into a simpler time on each visit to McCall for camping!

Ya-Hoo is such a fun place and so great for a family or friends or individual ride. The owner is a…read moretrue blue cowgirl and everyone that works there, too! The horses are sweethearts and good for any level of rider (we had all in our group). Def recommend and great addition to fun things to do in Long Valley.

Take in the valley and rest your head at this cozy spot. It's quite the storybook "farm" setting…read more Lyndall (and Ray) are the warmest of hosts. The conversation is delightful and breakfast was fantastic (eggs, sausage, cinnamon roll in toast form and fruit). You'll find the house clean and comfortable. Horses, 2 dogs and 2 cats only add to the charm. Find comic relief in the form of a fanciful feathered rooster! I would definitely like to stay here again the next time I'm in the area.

Lyndall, the owner of Willow Creek Horse Bed & Breakfast is simply wonderful. She cooks up a mean…read morebreakfast, she is positively charming. She knows a lot about the area and even called a nearby tourist attraction to make sure we could get in. She has horses, dogs, cats, chickens. When you stay at Willow Creek Horse Bed & Breakfast you feel like you've got away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. We stayed there while visiting our daughter who attends EOU in La Grande. It was only a 15 minute drive away from the campus. I intend to make Lyndall's place our home away from home while visiting our daughter each time we go to La Grande. My husband says, he wishes we had a horse to bring, so we could have enjoyed some trail riding. One side note, the stairs up to the bedrooms are steep, so if you have bad knees, this may be a challenge. Otherwise, check it out, you'll thoroughly enjoy your stay. www.willowcreekhorsebnb.com

The staff is beyond exceptional, the food was amazing. The views were so surreal. Highly recommend!…read moreWe were offered dietary choices for a gluten free member in our group and the breakfast and dinner was cooked to perfection. All the staff were so kind and accommodating A few things to note for future visits: It's deep in the woods so if you are not used to being surrounded by flies, critters and no cell services or WiFi in your cabin this won't be for you.. Call ahead so you know if all the amenities are available or still under construction, they are working to improve this location and it's a beautiful spot, clean and updated but currently under construction, call ahead they are honest It's not a resort and nothing like fishing and lakes are close you have to hike in and or drive out a ways to get to your location, so if hiking and adventuring isn't your thing this won't be for you Will come back to see all the new improvements and enjoy a pack ride and home style food ;)

I would give them more stars but for one really important thing that was missed in our cabin -…read morewindow screens. Being August and not having A/C in the cabin, we had to have the windows open all night. This meant all manner of moths/insects swarmed into the cabin when any lights were on. The hosts were gracious and friendly. The food basic but filling and good. I hope the owners will take my comment seriously and install screens on the windows (at least in the summertime)
