The elevation and rugged terrain provide a picturesque backdrop, making it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The area experiences all four seasons, with snowy winters and mild summers. Tamarack is in close proximity to China Peak Mountain Resort, a popular destination for winter sports. The resort offers a variety of runs for all skill levels, as well as snowboarding, tubing, and snowshoeing. In the warmer months, the area is a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers, with numerous trails that wind through the forests and mountains.

The nearby town of Shaver Lake provides additional dining, shopping, and services. Getting Around: This cabin has a large driveway, which can accommodate up to 4 vehicles. No parking on the street during winter months due to snow removal. Do not sled in the street during the winter. It's very dangerous and owner's get fined. No recreational vehicles or camping allowed in yards and driveways. There is no uber, etc in this area.-you need your own transportation. Other Things to Note: 4x4/all wheel drive vehicles may/will be required with cables/chains during the winter season. Please be prepared or CHP could refuse entrance into Shaver Lake (168-E) NO OUTDOOR FIRES ALLOWED! Ground coffee is provided. Wifi is slower in Tamarack- please understand this is out of my control. We do not provide wood. Interaction with Guests: I'm a local host- around 20 minutes away. Please call or text me if you need anything.
