Encore Cottage (117 Golden Bar)

Encore Cottage is a down-to-earth ski in/out, trail-first basecamp in Tamarack’s Golden Bar neighborhood--the kind of place where you can leave your boots by the door. Ski in from Lower Encore, click out, and you’re home. In summer, step onto miles of hiking and biking trails. Inside: full kitchen, gas fireplace, A/C, private hot tub, smart TVs, and beds for 7. Clean, practical, and stocked with essentials for guests who care more about first chair and singletrack than fancy frills.

Welcome to Encore Cottage – built for folks who care more about first chair, fresh corduroy, and quiet trails than fancy lobbies.
