Photos and Description of the Donnelly vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible Bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 4-8)

Awesome 2BR and 2.5BA ski in/out cottage in a picturesque setting. Gorgeous mountain views from every angle -- you can even see a sliver of Lake Cascade from the back patio! Bring the entire family (including the dog!) or leave the kids with the grandparents. The cottage has two queen beds, two sleeper sofas, and a crib -- so it sleeps between four (very comfortably) and eight (somewhat comfortably).

This ain't no backwoods cabin. Most all your needs and cravings will be satiated while you're here. Addicted to electronics or work? No worry. We have two Apple computers (an i Mac and a Mac Mini), a 42' flat-screen LED TV, a surround sound stereo system (that plays in almost every room in the cottage), a printer, and thanks to Al Gore, the inter-web. Fortunately, however, all these gadgets are equipped with 'off' switches, so if you feel like decompressing and/or degadgeting (made that word up), you can mold into our tufted leather chair while pretending to read a classic novel, sipping hot apple cider, and listening to our friendly neighborhood woodpecker (we've named him 'Woody'; original, we know). We also have a plethora of relaxation assistance apparatuses: a fireplace (inside), a fire-pit (outside please), an outdoor space heater, a Weber BBQ, a deep soaking tub, a hot tub, DVDs, records, decks of cards, boxes of games, bookshelves of books, and some yoga stuff. The kitchen is also well-equipped to crush your culinary ambitions: dishes, utensils, wine glasses, pots and pans, blender, coffee machine, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, stove-top, oven, and a fridge that blows so cold it makes the Devil himself nervous. Finally, provided you don't sue us if you hurt yourself, you're welcome to use some of our outdoor toys: his and her mountain bikes, various sleds, and three sets of cross country skis.

Tamarack, despite its financial complications, still has lots to offer. The ski hill is no joke, boasting bodacious off-piste runs to easy-riding groomed runs. And the Buttercup Lift (a mid-mountain access lift) is just a few turns off the patio. True ski in and out! The mountain also has miles and miles of scenic, quiet, and well-maintained hiking, cross country skiing, and mountain biking trails (the trail-head to our favorite mountain biking trail starts at the end of our street; our favorite cross country ski trails are on the other side of the resort). Tamarack also offers a world-class golf course, a Frisbee golf course, a zip-line course, a gym, a steam room, an outdoor pool (summer only) and hot tub, various restaurants (Seven Devils and Canoe Grill in the winter and Morels in the summer), and quick access to all Lake Cascade has to offer (boating, jet-skiing, kayaking, etc.).

Lastly, this cottage has a key-less entry system, so you'll have direct access to without having to check in or pick up a key. We'll also leave our keys to the Osprey Meadows Lodge, so you can access the gym, steam rooms, pool, and hot tub.

We hope you enjoy our cottage as much as we do!

P.S. The cottage is adequately baby-proofed and -supplied. Baby gate to prevent free falling from the stairs? You betcha. Annoying plastic thingamabobs in every outlet to prevent electroshock? Of course. A highchair? Yep. We're not cavemen. And various things that light up and make noises? Fisher Price and you know it.

We had a wonderful time in this home and it was perfect for us. Everything was lovely. The highlights for us were the proximity to the lift and a hillside out the back door for sledding and general romping around.We made good use of the hot tub. The owner was available for all our questions and generally interested in making sure we had a great time. We plan to return!

I rented this cabin to surprise my boyfriend for a weekend getaway with another couple. We were all so impressed by this place! So incredibly cozy and warm. It felt like home from the second we stepped in. There was more than enough room for all of us. We cooked dinner, enjoyed the fireplace, played music, hot tubbed.... and the best part was, when we were ready to ski, we just had to step out the back door to our own chair lift!
We have already decided to make this an annual trip...it was more fun than any of us expected!
The owner was great about providing us with details on how to work everything in the cabin and was quick to get back to us with answers to any questions we had.
Such a great experience, I would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a comfortable home away from home!

This quaint little cottage was perfect for our stay over Christmas 2012. The space was nice for us all....close to Buttercup Ski Lift. Beautiful area for cross country skiing or downhill skiing. Nice little pub at Seven Devils - great service. The cottage slept 7 comfortably. Nice & clean. Hot tub was great in the snow! I would suggest bringing paper plates or smaller bowls...otherwise all was a fantastic experience for us all. We would love to come back again and will keep this cottage on the top of our list to do again! Thank you for everything!!!! Owners are great to work with and we'd highly recommend them to anyone!!

Favorite Cabin

5 of 5
Submitted: December 18, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My husband and I have stayed in several different cabins at Tamarack over the last few years and this was by far our favorite.

We were lucky enough to stay here for a spur of the moment Thanksgiving getaway. It was perfect for enjoying Thanksgiving dinner by the fireplace, and dog friendly so we were able to take our furry friends with us!

There were many homey touches at this cabin that we have not seen other places such as : DVD's and games, a crib in one of the bedrooms, outdoor sports equipment to use, and computers with capabilities to surf the internet / watch netflix on the big screen TV.

We loved our stay here and hope to be back again soon!

We love these cozy Tamarack cottages. This one is great because it has additional features the typical property managed ones don't. Apple TV and Mac computer, baby crib, furniture, pet friendly. We found the place to be neat & clean, comfortable, good location, owner was great to work with. We would definitely stay there again and have already recommended this particular condo to a handful of friends.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of staying here multiple times, each time we leave we can't wait to get back! We even used it as our mini honeymoon. The place has everything you need and more. From snuggling up to the fire and watching Netflix, to just listening to music on the patio this cabin is the quintessential definition of relaxation. The cabin is always clean and and ready for us when we get there. The owners are very accessible and willing to answer any questions and always have great hiking, biking, skiing, eating suggestions. I 100% recommend staying here, We've already booked our next stay!

Relaxing, Comfortable, Perfect

Out of the 7 Tamarack vacation rentals I've had the pleasure of staying in none match the warmth and comfort of this cottage. All the accommodations of home with the view of a ski resort. The hot tub sports a fantastic view, and the location can't be beat (literally steps away from a private lift). This is the 1st vacancy I check anytime I'm passing through Donnely. I give it my highest recommendation.
