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.

September 2025The home was clean, well-appointed, and perfectly suited for our group. The views were stunning, the layout ideal for gathering, and the amenities (especially the firepit and game options) were thoughtful touches that made the experience memorable. Communication was seamless from booking through check-out, and we appreciated the detailed guidebook and proactive updates. It’s clear Brian and Kelly put a lot of intention into making guests feel at home. We’ve stayed in a number of rentals over the years, and this was one of the smoothest, best-managed trips we’ve had. Highly recommend to any group looking for a well-located, well-run property in the area. Thanks again for hosting us.

September 2025The neighborhood was beautiful to walk around and very quiet. The owners were proactive and communicated often with clean and precise instructions. We had 8 adults in the home and enjoyed all of the space. The home air conditioner was set and cooled for our arrival which was wonderful!
