THE SPACE: 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! 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.
PRIMARY BEDROOM (Main Floor): King Bed + Ensuite Bathroom (Sleeps 2) GUEST BEDROOM 1 (2nd floor): Queen Bed (Sleeps 2) GUEST BEDROOM 2 (2nd floor): Queen Bed (Sleeps 2) OPEN LOFT: T/T Built-In Bunks (Sleeps 2)
FUNCTIONAL FLOOR PLAN The open concept main level is DESIGNED for entertaining, with seamless flow across the living room complete with a natural stone fireplace, spacious kitchen anchored by a large island, and gorgeous rustic dining table. Not only will you be bathed in natural light from the floor to ceiling windows and double glass sliders that overlook the wraparound deck, you'll truly feel like you're in the mountains with the natural finishes, including tongue and groove vaulted pine ceiling and concrete countertops. The kitchen has abundant storage and stainless KitchenAid appliances, including a 6-burner gas range and spacious French door refrigerator.
The main level also includes a powder room, a mudroom with hooks/storage for all of your gear, and a laundry room with Whirpool full-size front load washer and dryer off the 2-car attached garage.
PRIMARY BEDROOM After a day on the slopes enjoy the comforts of your log canopy King bed with its own private ensuite, complete with dual vanities and a walk-in shower with a river rock floor. The primary bedroom also has a slider with access to the wraparound deck. Please note the primary bedroom closet is locked off, but there's a hanging bar for wardrobe items, as well as a large dresser.
GUEST BEDROOM #1 Located on the 2nd floor, this guest room offers a queen-sized bed with a log frame, as well as an exceptionally spacious closet.
GUEST BEDROOM #2 Also located on the second floor, you'll find another queen-sized bed with a log frame. This room comes equipped with a smart TV.
LOFT BUNKS 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.

Check-in was so easy! The owners were helpful and attentive but not overbearing. The house was very clean, comfortable, and modern. We loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen and soaking in the hot tub, watching and listening to the wildlife. We saw deer grazing, hummingbirds, bright tanagers, and squirrels. It was so peaceful!
Knotty Pines was a great home base for our ski trip. 2 families with teens (7 people total) had plenty of space in the beautiful house. We enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace daily. Kitchen was well stocked as we prepared most meals at the house.Communication with the host was excellent and the house was as described in the listing. We had an issue with the hot tub which was quickly resolved. We are looking forward to coming back again!!
I want to give a nod to the management team around this property. They gave us some Christmas decorations, including stockings and a Christmas tree, put us in contact with a private chef for Christmas dinner to make it completely stress-free, and went the extra mile of getting in contact with the owner when we needed some help with the Internet and television settings. This is a gorgeous property, very clean, and only moments away from Tamarack Village. So, you have access to a full ski resort, bars, and restaurants, and a small shop for provisions very close by. The closest “real” grocery store is in McCall. The Albertsons is very well provisioned as is the natural foods market a little closer to your home. Thank you for making our stay such a relaxing respite from the craziness of the holidays. Highly recommended!
