You'll be adjacent to Tamarack Resort, 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.

Guests do not have access to the detached garage, or the bonus room above the attached garage (both are locked). There are three locked owner closets in the home (closet in primary bedroom, closet in the living room, hallway closet in loft).

• Tamarack Trail/Ski Access •
Knotty Pines is NOT a true ski in/out property, but for those who don't mind a little trekking it's definitely possible to get to the Tamarack Express chairlift from the home, making it a great option for those who want to avoid the parking lot hustle. Tamarack Resort's Buttercup Trail is about 1/4 mile from the property, and can be accessed from the neighboring streets. Tamarack Express chairlift can then be reached from a groomed trail--it's about another 1/2 mile mostly downhill hike/push (3/4 mile total from Tamarack Shack). Depending on snowpack you may have to snowshoe. A more detailed description can be found in the Digital Guidebook upon booking.

Just a 5 minute drive from Tamarack Resort (accessible by road and trail), and less than a quarter mile to Lake Cascade, Knotty Pines is the perfect basecamp for all of your Valley County adventures! Ideal for those looking to explore the mountains in style, with space for whatever toys you have in tow. This stunning two-story vacation home gives all of the mountain modern vibes you'd expect. Surrounded by nature and with elevated amenities, the home thoughtfully blends the indoors and outdoors with nearly a full-home wraparound deck, contemporary dual-sided indoor/outdoor fireplace, floor to ceiling east-facing windows, and natural finishes in both the architecture and furniture; your getaway will feel like glamping to the max! Maximum occupancy is 8 people.

A fun space for kids or those needing to crash, the loft built-in twin/twin bunks provide two cozy extra sleeping options. There's room for storage in the built-in drawers under the bottom bunk. There's also a full/twin trundle for those who may want to sleep closer to the ground. Be aware these beds are not in a bedroom, but are in a loft that overlooks the main level.

OUTDOOR LIVING
We absolutely LOVE Knotty Pines' wraparound deck, especially the outdoor fireplace! Enjoy meals on the patio and feel free to take advantage of the charcoal grill (charcoal not provided). A soak in your private hot tub is the ideal way to après or unwind after a day on the mountain (seating for 4).

Knotty Pines is especially ideal for those traveling with toys, as there's ample space in the two-car attached garage. There are also RV hookups (electric and water) if you're traveling with a rig, as well as plenty of driveway space for trailers, snowmobile, boats, etc.

Lake access from Lake Cascade State Park (West Mountain) is about a 5-minute walk from the home, with several other lake access points (including a boat launch at Poison Creek) within a five minute drive.

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 Donnelly, 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 Donnelly 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.
