The only times we've experienced crowds is on a holiday weekend Saturday. Otherwise for skiing it's pretty tame, much more so than Bogus Basin which we avoid now.

The food options are limited and we generally bring our own snacks and drinks and eat at the truck on a ski day but they do offer tasty ice cream which my kids love as a treat after a long day. We usually stop at the coffee shop every time which is pretty good but nothing to rave about. It really depends on the staff. Pizza is a good deal as a large pizza can feed our whole family lunch. We've also been in the summer and it's even more low key. You almost wonder how they stay open but man, the beauty here is just gorgeous. Renting boats through their marina has always been easy and the teens who work there are always polite. Tamarack is a resort that we will continue to support for years to come.

Next time, just for giggles I may try one of the cabins, but would be thrilled to stay in the rooms again too.

All the RV spaces seemed suitable and were nicely sized with full hook ups available. The night we stayed in a cabin (cabin 3), we found it to be comfortable and clean, with three beds (two queens and a full bed jn the loft - you must climb a small ladder to go up there), a full bathroom with shower, a wood burning stove for heat, and some seating. There were a couple power outlets available. Electricity is available from 7am-10pm. On site there is a restaurant which has surprisingly excellent food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed such things as a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, a burger and a reuben sandwich. Sodas, waters, beer and wine are available. They have fantastic milkshakes as well (try the Huckleberry!). Prices were good and service as well. There is a geothermal pool on site as well (rules apply and a waiver) which we enjoyed.

REVIEW UPDATE: I feel qualified to update my old 3 star…read morereview from 2017, and change it to a 5 star in 2026. I have stayed at the hotel and have had friends stay recently (in 2026), after new management took over. I have dined at the restaurant recently in August 2026. And today (August 8th 2026) we had the benefit of seeing the kind of people that now own and run the establishment. First, it is the best place to stay in Lowman. The lodging is clean, nice, and there is fun stuff to do at the lodge, or nearby. Rent side-by-sides, hike, hot springs, ride motorcycles, fish, play games, and more. It is a beautiful place to stay. And it appears they have fixed old problems I experienced when staying there many years ago. The dining is great. We had an amazing dinner, ate outside, with nice views, and great food. And the staff are ALL friendly. It is a very homey atmosphere. Last, the character of the people that now own the place and work there was put to the test, and they scored high! My wife's family now has access to a local cabin, so we did not need to find lodging this summer. During a day trip, on the way back to Lowman from Idaho City, right as they were coming up on the Southfork Lodge, a friend of ours traveling with my wife became very ill. Our friend vomited, and then passed out. She was breathing, but could not be revived, for easily 45 minutes. It was scary for a while. Nick (an owner) and Jenn (who I believe is a manager there) from the Southfork Lodge came out to the parking lot to help, and monitor things. They stayed onsite as the fiasco unfolded. An ambulance came, and a LifeFlight helicopter eventually came! Nick and Jenn came in and out while trying to run their business to check and see if they could help, and to see what the status was. Our friend ultimately came back around, woke up, and was aware, and decided not to fly to the hospital in Boise. She is doing OK, and has been resting all night. It is obvious why people try and have tasty food in their restaurant, and offer nice lodgings and fun stuff to do. It is to make money. New ownership seems to pay attention to details way better than old ownership. But you don't get paid to be a decent human being, and to care about others. Stay here if you want nice lodging, good food, fun stuff to do, and to know that the people that own and run the place care about people. We'll go back next Summer, to eat, hang out, have a drink, refer friends for lodging, and to deal with good people.

As you walk into the lobby, you're immediately hit with a pleasant aroma/signature scent. Not to mention, the decor and atmosphere is top notch. The front desk staff made checking-in easy. There was a slight delay with room inspection before we could head up to our room (but truly, not a huge issue). We were able to leave our luggage behind the front desk & enjoyed a nice drink at the bar downstairs. Once we got to our room, I was even more impressed. The bathroom alone is worth another visit. The shower is massive and I loved the spa-like feel overall. Beds were comfortable and I enjoyed the cozy lighting. I could go on and on- just book the trip! I will be waiting until we can come back and stay here next time. Great experience!

The room was way more swanky than anything we ever stay in, but even my husband commented on how nice it was, and he isn't usually impressed with hotels. You could sleep in the shower with how much space there was. The ambiance definitely matched all the things I had heard about it - very industrial meets modern in a thoughtful way. And don't sleep on Blue Collar Coffee or the rooftop bar, if even for just the view of the foothills. You can't beat the location either - it's walkable to everything but just outside the true heart of downtown where it gets busier. Recommend for a staycation night (what we did) or a splurge-y stay with friends!

Hotel NoBo Cascade, part of Hilton's Tapestry Collection, looked like the perfect place for our getaway. Just a two-hour drive from Middleton, the journey itself became part of the experience, with the road winding alongside the river and opening onto peaceful, beautiful scenery. When we arrived, we were delighted to spot a family of three deer from our third-floor hotel window--a magical welcome to our anniversary getaway. Two of our dearest friends joined us for the celebration and booked a room at Hotel NoBo as well, making the trip even more meaningful. Sharing the getaway with them gave us memories we'll treasure for years to come. As Amex Gold members, we were delighted to receive an upgrade to a suite with an incredible view. The room was warm and inviting, featuring a cozy fireplace, a beautiful bathtub, and a wonderfully spacious bathroom. Victoria welcomed us with genuine warmth and surprised us with a thoughtful gift, making us feel special from the moment we arrived. It was the perfect beginning to our anniversary stay. The complimentary breakfast was delicious, and the surrounding area offered an abundance of scenic walks, hikes, and trails along the water. We also loved that Hotel NoBo welcomes our fur babies--a huge plus for us and our four-legged family members! We're already looking forward to returning with our friends, and next time, we hope to add whitewater rafting to the adventure. Thank you to Hotel NoBo Cascade and its incredible team for making our sixth anniversary so joyful, relaxing, and unforgettable. We can't wait to see you again soon!

My wife and I just completed our two-night stay here in Cascade as we celebrated our wedding…read moreanniversary. I chose NoBo based on the reviews. NoBo is located at the northern end of Cascade, right off 55. I has a nice curb appeal, almost a Tudor vibe. The parking lot was huge and only a fraction was being used--including, I noticed, a couple in a large, class A RV. Hopefully they received permission from management. Inside is nice, perhaps a little dated. There is a curbed staircase to the second floor with large, nice wood banisters. They have an inside pool and jacuzzi, and even an onsite restaurant, which we did not try. It is three stories high. We did have to wait for at least 10 minutes to be helped when we arrived, not because of any fault of the desk clerk, but because a woman was having an ongoing conversation about have her dog stay there. No one really acknowledged us during this time. Speaking of checking in: I really liked that, through the app, you could check in early and even choose your room, along with a digital key, such that we only really needed to check in at the front upon arrival in order to get my wife a room key, as she didn't want to download the app to get the digital key. We chose the third floor, away from the elevator, facing 55. We did have a view of the parking lot, but we also had a view of the mountains, and that was nice. Our room had two queens, which is how we normally book, because my wife is a sound sleeper and I'm not, and I don't want to bother her. The room was spacious enough. It had a dresser and a simple desk, though no paper or pen. There was no clock in the room, perhaps on purpose. There was also no mini fridge or microwave. At first we did not feel that the wall-mounted AC was doing the job, but later felt that it cooled the room just great. Of note, the beds were about as comfortable as any hotel bed I've slept in, very nice. The bathroom was small, as was the tub. The water pressure was weak, taking away from the pleasure of taking a shower. The fan was controlled by buttons next to the toilet and was on a timer. You could choose 5, 10, 15, and 30 minute durations. There was a hairdryer. Counter space was limited. There were limited electrical outlets on the nightstand and desk; I had to have devices sitting on the floor to charge. We had an issue with our hair conditioner bottle running out and mentioned it to the desk clerk. They responded immediately, so service was great. The complimentary hot buffet breakfast was definitely a weak point. Most hotel breakfasts have watery scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes and sometimes biscuits and gravy, as well as the other options, like waffles. The first morning, there was a fritata that had no flavor and was not warm. The second morning there was a small omelet with what seemed like American cheese, which I don't like. The potatoes were soggy and tasteless. The sausage patties and links were good. The biscuits were decent. Coffee was just OK. All in all, a nice stay. As far as we could see, if you want to stay in a hotel, this is the only game in town. There are motels, but staying in those places goes back to my college days. No more. Nobo is a nice hotel, reasonably priced, conveniently located, though a lakeview would have been optimal. We've stayed in McCall before, and we think we like the idea of staying in quiet Cascade and traveling up to McCall if desired, only about a 35-40 minute drive.

The best part of our stay was the shower. It was like getting a message every morning. The worst part of our stay was the beds. All three of us had a hard time sleeping in the beds because they were so hard. My husband tossed and turned so much trying to get comfortable that he accidentally pushed me out of bed three times. I then tried to sleep on the floor. Thank God for the shower in the morning! The kitchen is fully functional- it has a large refrigerator, a small single tub sink, coffee pot, cups, dishes, a stove with oven, and pots and pans. We used the kitchenette only one morning. It was very challenging to cook for three people as it is a small space. Caution to anyone using the stove, "low" is more like "Medium-high". I figured this out after burning breakfast and setting all the smoke alarms off. Good morning everyone! The staff were friendly. However, I was disappointed that on the morning after our second night stay, I asked for new towels, garbage to be taken out, and if possible to get a broom to sweep up the floor as there was a lot of dirt. We came back around 3 o'clock to find everything as we had left it. No clean towels, garbage still there, and no broom. And no one in the office to make a new request. Given the beds, I'm not sure we would stay here again. If we did, we probably would bring foam or something to pad the beds.

It doesn't seem right somehow, as I don't live nearby (yet!). I have spent many a blissful night at the in-laws' cabin just a 5-minute walk away, and a good deal of those were also spent catching up on local events while having a beer at the Featherville Saloon. How else am I going to learn of the ever-changing politics of the Water Board, or just how much Lloyd has been driving around on his little gray tractor ("makin' things flat!"). Life in Featherville to me is life without Twitter, Facebook, TV, and radio, and the saloon is the welcome substitute for all of those things. Certainly those things are available here, and the increasing number of huge McCabins being built in the area have all those luxuries, and their inhabitants will undoubtedly soon permanently alter the landscape of Featherville and the saloon. So while you can, enjoy the simple pleasure of hanging out in the no-frills, friendly Featherville Saloon. Shoot some pool, put some money in the jukebox, and enjoy a cheap beer or cocktail while checking in on the latest news.

He was annoyed that we called a few days before our arrival, and he made it very clear that he was annoyed. My husband asked if he could pay in advance with a credit card, and he said no, I've got you down. We drove three hours to the motel and when my husband went in to pay and get the keys, the same person that he made the reservation with said that we were not on the list. He was very shallow in his response that we weren't on the list, and didn't seem to care at all. We have stayed at this motel for the last several years during hunting season. Needless to say, we ended up driving home that night. We will never go back there again.
