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.

This home was the perfect size and layout for our family. We loved the hot tub and even had fun sledding in the back yard. Great place that we will probably stay again.

What makes this property unique

This fabled home will forever be part of Tamarack Resort's legacy and history, as it hosted President George W Bush in 2005. Pinnacle Peak is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in the peacefulness of nature. This stunning mountain retreat is the perfect spot for large gatherings, whether it's a family reunion or group of friends looking for adventure. Not only that, the George W Bush Estate Home beautifully marries comfort and nature. From skiing down the slopes to hiking through breathtaking trails, grabbing a beer and a bite in the Village Plaza, or booking a massage in the Lodge spa, there's something for everyone to enjoy. When the day is done, gather together and enjoy nature around the firepit or outdoor fireplace, or stargaze from your private hot tub. The separate 1BR/1BA private apartment (with living room and kitchen) is fantastic for groups looking to stay at the same property, while also offering a bit of privacy. This home truly has it all for a memorable and rejuvenating mountain getaway.
