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

Spicy music. Spicier New Orleans dishes and oh-so-good oysters at The Oyster Bar.

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

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

Classy rooms (minus the ’tude) and spa-inspired baths keep us comfy and relaxed… and did we mention comfy?

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.

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).

Rustic-modern style brings posh down to earth. Revel in lakeside views, leather lounge chairs & stone fireplaces – dress code free. (No stuffy jacket rule here.)

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

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

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

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

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

Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls at the complimentary hot breakfast make our morning.

Idyllically situated atop the Sierra Nevadas (aka jaw-dropping views all around).
