RECOMMENDATIONS:
- 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.

June 2026I was able to spend the weekend there due to winning a trip from work. I have ALWAYS wanted to stay in Tamarack, and it was well worth the wait! I brought along my husband, toddler, and my parents. Upon arrival, the house was easy to find, very clean, and picturesque. It felt like we were staying in a really cool treehouse. We all loved the layout of the house, and the view of the beautiful trees. The home was cozy, yet spacious. It was a really amazing 2 day trip, and I am so glad I was able to spend time here relaxing and spending quality time with family. You are close enough to McCall to spend the day at the lake there/or shopping, while also being close to all the amazing fishing spots. I look forward to coming back in the snow, or again next summer!

August 2025The location could not have been more perfect. It is literally right across from the ski lift, which made hitting the slopes incredibly convenient. The space was cozy, clean, and well-equipped. The host was responsive and provided great tips for the area. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for comfort and unbeatable access to the mountain!

February 2025Thank you Bespoke Properties for the great accommodations at Tamarack Resort. The condo/house was as described and extra nice touches like a welcome basket and coffee/filters were amazing! The unit was spacious, warm, cozy and convenient. The only item outside of their control, but good to know for future reference is that the "Ski out" ability was contingent upon the Buttercup Lift being open and it was only open Wed-Sun. You could still ski down Buttercup (right to your door- almost literally) but you had to drive or get a free shuttle from the condo to the base area to start your day. Not a problem at all and the shuttle was super easy and on demand. The hot tub was great after a day of riding and cooking was a breeze thanks to all of the labeling of cabinets. Overall, there was a lot of attention to detail from Bespoke and we will definitely be back!

October 2024Beautiful home in a lovely location. Quick access to hiking trails. In winter, would be perfect as it steps fom ski lift. Very clean and comfortable. Never spike to owners as instructions were as expected. Hot tub was wonderful. Only minor surprise was how not private outdoor conversations could be. Could hear neighbor quite clearly.

October 2024Thank You for accommodating our special request! Great communication, flexible and responsive hosts! The welcome basket was a unexpected and nice treat the kids loved! We really enjoyed the location! We biked, hiked and relaxed. We made all of our meals, the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. The space was clean and comfortable. Our favorite was the back deck where we spent a lot of time. I have a new love for aspen trees that surround this property. We would recommend this home and look forward to coming back! Thank You for sharing your home!

October 2024Host was very responsive and attentive to our questions about the property. As we have a 17 month old, they were super helpful with equipping the property with a high chair and pack n play. Additionally, they added the extra touch of having a few toys for the kids and children's books as well! Listing was very accurate, the place had all we needed in the kitchen to cook our own meals, we couldn't get any closer to the lift at Tamarack with it right outside the driveway and the place felt very cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay with this host and at this property again.

October 2024An amazing cabin, within 20 steps of a chairlift that accesses Tamarack and amazing skiing. The place was immaculate, wonderful, good hot tub, nice grill, well stocked kitchen, responsive, communication, and the location was amazing. This is right within the resort area surrounded by trees within walking distance of the village at Tamarack resort. The communication with the owners was quick and responsive and professional. Next time we visit, which is likely in the summer, we will hopefully stay here again. It is a three-story with the master bedroom on the third floor and main living room and kitchen and dining room on the main floor and two bedrooms on the lower floor. The appliances were new, and the washer and dryer was wonderful as we were there for about a week. I highly recommend this place.

October 2024We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The hosts were very friendly and the communication was great. The house was very neat and clean, lots of space and nice amenities. The only negative I have is the ski lift that’s right across the street was closed while we were there, but that was due to the unusually low snowfall at that time so was completely out of their control. It wasn’t a problem to drive to the base and get on the main lift there. Our family had a great time and would come back again.

October 2024The hosts Brian & Kelly of Bespoke Properties truly delivered a five star experience! Before we checked in, they sent a comprehensive digital guidebook including all the check in/out info as well as recreation/dining/local attractions/etc to the surrounding area. The hosts were also incredibly friendly, professional, & responsive in communication, assisting promptly. This Airbnb delivered what's promised, and everything was as pictured and described. The place is beautiful and clean, fully supplied & we felt comfortable during our stay. It truly felt like home away from home. It is incredibly spacious yet cozy. The vibes were immaculate as we ejoyed breakfast on the deck, hot tub under the sky, & evening fireplace. Can't go wrong with Alpine Escape and Bespoke Properties!!
