Due to safety and privacy concerns, Tamarack Resort prohibits the operation or use on or above Resort property of unmanned aerial systems, or drones, by the general public—including model aircraft by recreational users and hobbyists—without the prior written authorization from the Resort.

This prohibition includes drones used for filming or videotaping, as well as any drone use by media or journalists operating above or within the area boundaries. This prohibition extends to any devices launched or operated from Resort property, as well as any launched from private property outside of the Resort boundaries. Please contact a resort representative if you have any questions or if you seek prior authorization to operate any such devices.

Any authorized operation of drones on or above Resort property will be governed by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules and regulations, local law enforcement, (and / or State and U.S. Forest Service rules), as well as those policies separately established by this Resort, which may include certification, training, insurance coverage, indemnification requirements, and waivers or releases of liability. The FAA Summary of Small Unmanned Aircraft Rule (Part 107) is available here. The required authorizations, regulations and rules generally require an application to the FAA, FAA certification, substantial training, and many restrictions covering safety and national security, and other requirements.

Any violation of this policy may involve suspension of your access privileges to the Resort, or the revocation of your season pass, as well as confiscation of any prohibited equipment, and may subject violators to any liability for damages, including, but not limited to, damages for trespass, violations of privacy, and physical injuries to persons and/or property, as well as legal fees.

Tamarack is committed to being a good neighbor, and asks that you be considerate of those who are staying or living near your unit. Unfortunately, from time to time some occupants disturb their neighbors, by creating excessive noise, smoke, or other nuisances. Tamarack Security enforces our noise ordinance between 10 pm and 7 am. Tamarack expressly reserves the right to terminate, at any time, your occupancy, and to evict you from the unit, in the event that complaints are reported which indicate that you are disturbing the neighbors. In that event, you will also forfeit all monies due under your reservation at Tamarack.

 

 Pets are not allowed inside vacation rentals or on the lodging property unless explicitly noted for the specific unit being booked during your reservation process. Unauthorized pets within your unit or on the property may result in immediate termination of the rental agreement without a refund and up to a $500 fee.

All properties come with linens, towels, hand soap, & basic toiletries. Units offering a kitchenette or full kitchen will be stocked with the basic necessities needed for your stay. The number of plates & glassware corresponds to the number of guests a unit sleeps. If you require special pots & pans, we suggest you bring them. Each unit is owned separately by individual owners so the amount of household goods and decor differs from property to property. We can only guarantee that they have the basics needed to be included in our rental program.

Fireplaces and Firewood:
Most units offer either a propane or wood fireplaces. Some offer outdoor fireplaces or fire pits for your enjoyment. We will provide 1 bundle of wood per wood burning fireplace at check-in. If you require extra firewood, you may contact the front desk to purchase additional bundles for $7 each. We ask that you only burn in designated areas and upon your departure you check to make sure all the fires are completely out before leaving.

BBQ’s & Gas:
Many of our units offer BBQ’s for the guest’s enjoyment. We are able to make recommendations to the homeowner as to the type of BBQ to provide, but in the end it’s their choice. Some BBQ’s are hooked into a gas line at the homes, while others have small propane tanks. If you find that you don’t have a full tank upon arrival then please contact us so we can bring one to you. If a renter leaves a tank on after they leave resulting in the tank to become empty, then the renter will be charged for a replacement tank, otherwise the cost of the propane is supplied by Tamarack.

PARKING BY RENTAL LOCATION
Tamarack has limited parking, especially during the winter months.

Lodge at Osprey Meadows units can access the underground parking garage and elevators for their convenience on a first come first served basis. The Front Desk will provide a parking pass at check-in.

The Village condos are allotted 1 garage-parking spot per unit, the Front Desk will provide a parking pass at check-in. Please only park in the number corresponding with your confirmed condo.

Townhomes, Cottages, Chalets and Estate Homes may have a garage available. Please check with the Front Desk to see how many vehicles a unit can accommodate as some only have room for 1-2 vehicles. Additional vehicles will need to be kept at Tamaracks lower parking lot.

We don’t allow boats, RV’s, Motor-homes or trailer’s to be parked at the units. We have a large parking lot at the entry of Tamarack for these items to be kept, and you must procure a parking pass from the Front Desk. The parking lot is under 24-hour surveillance so it’s safe to use, however we do recommend locking your items for additional precaution.

Parking passes must be displayed in your vehicle when parked at Tamarack Resort. Please observe and follow all posted signage for Tamarack parking areas.

GENERAL PARKING

Very few of our units offer air-conditioning as it’s typically only needed for a few weeks out of the year. The best way to keep your unit cool is to open windows and sliding doors in the evening to cool the place down, then shut all the doors, windows, & close the blinds before the heat of the day. Please review the property description thoroughly before booking, or use the filter option to search for properties that have air conditioning.
