Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, I understand businesses have had to make some adjustments in order to remain open while keeping patrons safe. As such I will be weighting my review with that in mind.

Activities:

It felt like my visit to Tamarack Resort came about 1-2 years too early. Construction had a large portion of the resort including two restaurants inaccessible, with only the coffee shop and grocery store open for business. There wasn't a lot going on and it was very empty of people, so we opted for exploring the surrounding towns and forest instead. (3/5)

The room:

We stayed in a room at the Lodge and walked in to dirty stained carpets in a poorly lit room. Not a good first impression.

I also got to experience some of the worst nights sleep I have endured. I have been more comfortable on a hide-a-bed couch. The mattress was rock hard with flat, worn-out pillows with zero head or neck support. I tossed and turned and woke up sore each morning. I have stayed at much cheaper locations and had a much higher level of comfort. It is not a good sign to dread going to bed each night because you know what you'll be sleeping on. This area could use extreme improvement. (1/5)

The food:
As the only area we could find open was the bar/grill attached to the main lobby this is the only area where I can fairly assess. We each had a drink, and a burger which were adequate, if a little unexciting for the price. Definitely worth it to drive into McCall to try 'My Father's Place' instead. The service was great however, and we left happy. (4/5)

The staff:

The staff was friendly, helpful and eager to assist with anything we needed. They also did the best they could with safety precautions for guests. (5/5)

McCall Idaho and the surrounding area are unbelievably gorgeous and worth exploring as much as possible. Get away from the resort, and go explore the Ponderosa State Park, go to Icecream Alley, or go hike around Brundage Mountain instead!
