About Donnelly

Set along the northeast shore of Lake Cascade in Long Valley, Donnelly is a quiet mountain town of roughly 250 residents. It sits right on Highway 55, about 15 minutes south of McCall and 20 minutes north of Cascade. Tamarack Resort is directly across the water to the southwest, offering quick access to skiing, golfing, and downhill mountain biking while letting Donnelly keep its unpretentious, small-town atmosphere.

Daily life here centers on the lake and the mountains, with boating, camping, and ice fishing right out the back door. Just a mile east lies historic Roseberry, an old Finnish settlement that now hosts summer concerts and craft fairs. Kids attend the McCall-Donnelly School District, and residents enjoy a tight-knit community with easy access to both resort amenities and quiet stretches of Valley County.
