Wasatch Mountains
Lucky enough to be staying over? Rough-hewn cottage rooms are secluded, tucked among the trees on the grounds – the perfect place to honeymoon or write your next novel. The decor differs throughout, but all rooms have pine walls and ever-so-comfy furnishings, plus quilts, paperback books and board games; some have kitchens. Two- to four-bedroom houses are also available.
All rates include ski passes in winter and lift passes in summer (two per room).
