About this property
Lago Vista in Donnelly Spacious 5BR Retreat Near Lake Cascade with AC
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. ... Just five miles south is Tamarack Resort, 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. Full unit with fully-equipped kitchen, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, private keyless entry, in-unit washer and dryer, covered deck, + private hot tub. ... Guests do NOT have access to the garage, but the 60' driveway can easily accommodate four cars or a trailer.
Lago Vista is designed as a practical, comfortable home base: more space, more privacy, and an easy commute to the resort and the water. Perfect for groups who want a simple, comfortable home base just outside the resort—close to the lifts, the lake, and all the action, with the space and calm to really relax when you’re off the mountain or off the water.

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.

family weekend
The house is very pretty and well located in Donelly. Very close to the lake, to McCall and ponderosa park.
We had an inconvenience and Brian was very helpful and resolved it immediately.
We loved our stay.
This house was wonderful for a large family! Very convenient to attractions and the lake. We loved it. It was exactly as advertised and the host was very responsive. Well appointed with good quality kitchen equipment. We had everything we needed! We loved it!
We had a property rented in Donnely for over a month that was canceled two days before we went. We are so lucky to have found this property to accommodate our Christmas still getaway to the mountains! Brian and Kelly were great hosts and helped with any questions we had. The living area is great for a larger family group! We enjoyed games, building snowmen, and mountain time. Thank you again for helping us make our Christmas vacation special.
The property was spacious, which was great for a boys golf trip. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms with a great patio and jacuzzi. Five adult men had plenty of room in a very nice cabin and area. We played golf at Jug Mountain and Osprey Meadows and both were awesome. Kelly's communication was outstanding. We will definitely try to stay at this property again in the future.
A wonderful house in a nice setting.The showers were excellent.Beds were comfortable.Very clean, well equipped house.Best house rental I have stayed in on my many journeys.Thank you to the hosts. They are very responsive and pleasant.
