Lago Vista in Donnelly: Spacious Retreat on Lake Cascade | 4 Miles to Tamarack | Room for Toys

Skip the cramped slope-side condo and make Lago Vista your full‑size, amenity-loaded, all-season basecamp just outside Tamarack. This comfortable 5BR/3BA home sleeps up to 10 and sits in a quiet, forested neighborhood above the non‑motorized side of Lake Cascade—only 4 miles from Tamarack Resort and an easy drive to Donnelly and McCall. You’ll be minutes from the lifts, the lake, and four‑season adventure, with calmer nights and room for everyone to spread out.


While there's plenty of high-adventure recreation to enjoy in Valley County, time seems to slow down in this peaceful and serene lakeside family-friendly neighborhood. Surrounded by nature and perfectly located midway between downtown Donnelly and Tamarack Resort (and only 25 minutes from the dining/shopping/recreation of McCall), the location offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Surrounded by alpine forests and bordering Bureau of Reclamation lands, you'll have every opportunity to enjoy nature, with hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, biking, skiing, all accessible within minutes.

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.

Our mountain town has a short summer season, which means a compressed window for construction. New homes and road work happen quickly between June and September. While we update listings when we're aware of neighboring projects, we don't always have advance notice. If you're booking during warm weather months, it's safe to assume some construction activity may be happening nearby. We have no control over neighboring sites or noise, and unfortunately cannot provide refunds due to construction. That said, we're always here—reach out with questions, concerns, or noise complaints and we'll do what we can to help.
