*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.

*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.

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!
