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.

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.
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!

Awesome property
The townhome cabin was very cozy and spacious for our family of 4! We loved sitting by the fireplace and looking out the windows at our beautiful views! We also loved that a ski lift was literally only steps away from the cabin. In addition, Kelly and Brian are extremely responsive and helped ensure we had a smooth stay!!!

Great Ski In/Ski Out
We had a wonderful time at Tamarack Resort staying at 84 Buttercup Ridge! The home was well-furnished, cozy, and had all the amenities one would need for a week-long stay. The Buttercup lift operated all five days we were there, making it incredibly convenient for ski-in/ski-out access, which was a real treat. Ending each day in the hot tub was the perfect way to relax. We can't wait to return!
The location of this property was peaceful. Enjoyed the main floor deck. The house was clean and comfortable. Would stay here again and recommend others to do so as well.

Hospitality is Still Alive with Bespoke Properties
I had given up on the term Hospitality prior to booking with BeSpoke Properties. They definitely set the bar high and understand what true hospitality means.
Feeling welcomed, taken care of, and accommodating are some of the qualities they have
Thank you again for a great weekend and we will be back
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.
