*LOCATION*

Nestled on 3,500 acres with 2,800 feet of vertical and adjacent to Lake Cascade, it offers year-round recreation, including some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Idaho, Nordic and snowshoe trails, hiking, downhill and cross country mountain biking, zipline tours, whitewater rafting, and motorized and non-motorized water sports.

*TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS*
You'll receive complete driving directions and transportation tips after booking in your Digital Guidebook.

If you're flying into Boise International Airport, we recommend renting a vehicle directly from the airport.

It's possible to get an Uber from Boise/BOI to Tamarack Resort, although it's not necessarily a reliable mode of travel; depending on your arrival time and season, you may have difficulty finding a driver who will accept your ride. Uber is not currently accepting advance reservations for trips to Tamarack Resort from Boise; on-demand rides will be your only option.

If you're traveling in winter or you plan to enjoy the many off-roading adventures available in Valley County, we HIGHLY recommend a 4WD vehicle.

Great Space

We loved our stay at Tamarack here. The host was very responsive. The kitchen seemed a bit sparse for our family and needed a few more mixing bowls (only had one) and kid friendly dishes, but had everything else. One thing we didn't realize before booking was that the Buttercup lift doesn't operate every day.

Perfect little ski weekend

We loved our stay at this cabin. The Buttercup lift was a short walk, the community was quiet, and the hot tub perfect to unwind after a day on the slopes.

Awesome property

The townhome cabin was very cozy and spacious for our family of 4! We loved sitting by the fireplace and looking out the windows at our beautiful views! We also loved that a ski lift was literally only steps away from the cabin. In addition, Kelly and Brian are extremely responsive and helped ensure we had a smooth stay!!!

Great Ski In/Ski Out

We had a wonderful time at Tamarack Resort staying at 84 Buttercup Ridge! The home was well-furnished, cozy, and had all the amenities one would need for a week-long stay. The Buttercup lift operated all five days we were there, making it incredibly convenient for ski-in/ski-out access, which was a real treat. Ending each day in the hot tub was the perfect way to relax. We can't wait to return!

Ski weekend

Great place to stay! We enjoyed the location of being able to ski in/out from the Buttercup chair. The cabin was well stocked and clean, and we enjoyed the hot tub as well after skiing both days. We would stay here again!
