The Scene
Drawing crowds from September through March, this picturesque ski chalet is a favorite for romantic getaways. It is home to the indulgent Body Sage Day Spa and the notable Wild Sage restaurant, whose dinner dishes reflect the flavors of the region--herb-rubbed elk tenderloin and leg of pheasant confit can be found on the menu.

The Details
The bedrooms are exceptionally pretty, with accent pieces including woven Native American rugs, and twig- and log-side tables and bed frames. But these rustic touches steer clear of parodying the expected look of a quintessential Old-West lodge, and while the occastional floral print can be found, it's done tastefully. Standout rooms include kings with fireplaces and Jacuzzis. The dining room has a river stone fireplace and individual, country-style tables. It's the site for the generous complimentary breakfast that may include French toast, Russian eggs Benedict or homemade granola.
