Ski in/out Buttercup, pet-friendly, hot tub

Welcome to Terrapin Station – for those who’d rather chase first chair, last light, and a good soak under the stars than hang out in a lobby. This rare 1BR/2BA corner townhome (4 guests max + 1 pup) sits in Tamarack Resort’s quiet Clearwater neighborhood with true SKI IN/SKI OUT access to the Buttercup Chairlift. No shuttles. No parking-lot shuffle. Step out the door, snap in, and send it. Think: a touch of Grateful Dead funk, a lot of fresh air, and everything you actually need.

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 home to yourself, including a fully-equipped kitchen, 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, private keyless entry, in-unit washer and dryer, covered patio, + private hot tub.
...
Please note guests do NOT have access to the detached garage. There is driveway parking for 1 vehicle, as well as 2 guest parking spots next to the home that are first-come-first-serve.
...
Be sure to confirm operability of the Buttercup Chairlift with Tamarack Resort, as operations are snow-level dependent.
...
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!

—(Terrapin Station does NOT have AC)—

Terrapin Station is the perfect bungalow for couples, solos, and small crews who’d rather be outside than standing in a condo elevator line. With only a few 1BR townhomes available in Tamarack Resort, it's the ideal option for guests looking for more privacy, more quiet, and a vibe that's more “your own place":

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.
