Property details

Built for groups with full apartment, sleeps 13, patio + views 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. • • BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE• • When you stay in Tamarack Resort, stay Bespoke. We fuss over the details so you don’t have to. Bush Lodge is managed by the property manager. We're local hosts who treat each home like it’s our own—and each guest like someone we’ve been looking forward to having back in town. What that means for you: • Snacks and cold drinks waiting when you walk in • Quality basics stocked (Lavazza coffee, Tide detergent, Bounty paper towels—the good stuff) • A custom digital guidebook with our favorite trails, restaurants, ski and lake tips • Optional concierge help for birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, and “we just want this to be easy” trips • Seriously clean spaces • Real humans, right here in town, answering your messages in minutes, not hours Questions before you book? Message us. Booking multiple properties for a larger group? Ask about our group discounts. Self check‑in is standard; we send access instructions three days before arrival. • • CONCIERGE ADD-ONS Browse our Digital Guidebook Marketplace for concierge services: transportation arrangements, mid-stay cleaning, grocery delivery, and custom itinerary planning. Let us handle the details so you can focus on being present. • • PET POLICY We know they’re family, but no pets are allowed at Bush Lodge. • • AIR CONDITIONING Bush Lodge is equipped with central AC. • • FIREWOOD Two bundles of firewood are provided, and we do offer pre-purchasing via your Digital Guidebook. Place your order ahead of time and we'll have bundles dropped off prior to your arrival. • • PAPER GOODS We start you with 2 rolls of paper towels and 3 rolls of TP per bathroom. Longer stays or bigger groups may want to grab extra. • • GETTING AROUND TAMARACK Tamarack Resort offers free 24/7 on-demand "Dial-A-Ride" service throughout the resort—perfect for getting to the Village, restaurants, or lifts without moving your car. Contact info is in your Digital Guidebook. • • SUMMER CONSTRUCTION NOTICE Our summer is short, so construction season is fast and busy (June–September). We always try to note known projects, but we don’t always get a heads‑up about neighbors. We can’t control or refund for outside noise, but we’re always here to help brainstorm solutions if something comes up. • • For added peace of mind, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to help protect your trip against unexpected situations. Any refunds issued will be minus credit card processing fees. You'll have the entire main home and apartment to yourself. The main house offers a fully-equipped kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, private keyless entry, in-unit washer and dryer, large outdoor deck, + private hot tub. The apartment offers a kitchen, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom. ... You'll have access to a 1-car detached garage (the one closest to the home). The other 1-car garage space is not available to guests. ... You'll also have access to the numerous amenities offered by Tamarack Resort; gas firepit at the Lodge at Osprey Meadows, pickleball courts, disc golf, and resort cross-country hiking/biking trails. This property doesn't have access to the Lodge fitness center, pool, or hot tub, but don't worry--the mountain is your gym, Lake Cascade is the perfect place to take a dip, and you've got your own private hot tub at the house! You'll receive complete driving directions and transportation tips after booking in your Digital Guidebook. Tamarack Resort offers free 24/7 on-demand “Dial-A-Ride” service throughout the resort. Contact number available on Tamarack Resort's website and in the Digital Guidebook. 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. Tamarack Resort is a four-season destination 90 miles north of Boise; it's the perfect basecamp for your west central Idaho adventures, located between the recreation opportunities in Cascade and McCall or those further afield. Nestled on 3,500 acres with 2,800 feet of vertical and adjacent to Lake Cascade, it offers year-round recreation, including some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Idaho, Nordic and snowshoe trails, hiking, downhill and cross country mountain biking, zipline tours, whitewater rafting, and motorized and non-motorized water sports. Tamarack also offers a host of on-site dining and leisure activities, to include a spa, pickleball courts, and disc golf course. Be sure to check their schedule for hosted events and activities.

Great property, was perfect for our family! Love having the apartment above the garage with a full living space so the kids have their own private area. It was perfect! hot tub was fantastic and the fire pit was great, too. This is our second time staying here and would stay here again. The property managers were very responsive when we had a question or needed anything, extremely happy with their amazing, attentive service! Would highly recommend! Thank you for a great weekend stay!

A beautiful home for my family and I to spend Thanksgiving. The huge dining table was perfect for this occasion, including the large kitchen space with everything we needed! The apartment over the garage was perfect for my son and his family to have their own space but still be close. The master bedroom was a dream, and all the bedrooms were cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the deck off the master bedroom and movie night in the huge living area. What a great time in a beautiful home, Thank you for sharing it with us to make memories in!❤️
