Bush Lodge is for groups who want a real mountain lodge: boots by the door, firewood stacked, big days outside, and everyone back at the same table. This classic alpine ski house at the top of Tamarack Resort, surrounded by forest and big views, was built for groups: a large chef’s kitchen, a long dining table for 12, a wraparound deck with hot tub and dual-sided fireplace, and a private apartment over the garage so everyone can stay on the same property with enough space to spread out.

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.

REAL GUESTS, REAL REVIEWS

  • Being connected to Tamarak resort was great!

  • Very responsive and communicative. Our prior rental had an emergency maintenance and we were upgraded to this beautiful property no extra charge. It made for the perfect 14-year anniversary trip. Will definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this beautiful place!

  • PEACEFUL property located exactly in a private location but close to all things necessary. From the last-minute booking to the final close out of the door I really felt like the hosts/management company cared about our stay and memories in the property. We will be back, and we will refer this property to all of our friends and family. Our exchange student from Sweden was in town for the holiday and his experiences in the mountains and in McCall will be everlasting and for that I am most grateful to fill his American Dream. Thank you for making it possible to enjoy such a wonderful space with family and friends.

  • Beautiful property, everything met or exceeded our expectations! The local amenities are somewhat lacking, in particular; grocery, food delivery and restaurants. However, this is not a reflection on the property or the host. Would absolutely stay here again!

  • If you are looking for a mountain escape this is the place. It’s nicely tucked away and private. It’s a must rent.
