A True Tamarack Ski Lodge for Groups Who Stay Together

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.




Please note there is currently a home being built on the property next door and there may be increased noise and vehicle traffic on weekdays from 9AM-6PM.

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.

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!

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.
