An easy drive to restaurants galore, so your room’s kitchenette may not get much use (though it’s there if ya need it).

Totally re-imagined with a modern take on throwback chic, with luxe touches like Malin + Goetz bath amenities.

Each room has unique boutiquey flair so you’ll always be one of a kind.

You’ve got your pick of outdoors-y to-dos around this gem, ranging from hiking to river rafting (ask the adventure concierge for a killer rec).

Granlibakken is Norwegian for ‘hill sheltered by trees.’ Makes sense cuz there's a whooole lot of 'em. PS: possible bear sightings!

Lodge-like clubhouse in Squaw Valley – gardeny setting is perfect for BBQs. Borrowable bikes and snowshoes if you’re up for an adventure.

Could not be any closer to the pristine beach. And the pool and hot tub are right there too. Just sayin'.

Quirky-yet-comfy rooms feature refreshing style with a hint of retro.

Set on the edge of Lake Tahoe – and steps from a ski resort – you can snow ski in the winter and water ski in the summer.

Skiing, rafting, hiking, fishing, golfing – even Zagat-rated dining. Every -ing imaginable is all right here. But first, free breakfast(!).

Rustic style makes you feel like Little Red Riding Hood's about to come knocking on the door.

Originally built for the 1960 Winter Olympic delegation, rustic, this place is not. Luxe linens and posh bath amenities await.

Sneak just across the border to Stateline and have some legal casino fun.

Comfy rooms in a flawless location near the lake and within walking distance of casinos and restaurants.

Rooms rock a posh-rustic vibe complete with goose down comforters, mini-fridges and private balcony or patio (for obvious stunning-view reasons).

Close to Heavenly Village shops & dining – plus outdoorsy adventures. The gondola’s right outside, and the lakeside beach and marina are walkable.

Authentic Mexican joint onsite (don’t leave without trying the guac) + spot-on home-style fare at the 24-hour grill (aka your eats are more than covered).

Suite/condo-style setup in historic Genoa, with upscale eats at the 1862 Restaurant and more casual fare at the Saloon Bar.
