The country-style decor and lodgepole pine furniture make this inn, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, warm and cozy. Innkeeper Deb Lovci, a backcountry ski guide, triathlete, and mountain-bike racer, is an engaging host as well as a wealth of information on outdoor activities in the area. Pros: If the location—steps from the slopes and trails—doesn't motivate you to get outdoors, the energetic innkeeper will. Cons: Couch potatoes may feel out-of-place. Rooms and common areas are cozy but petite.
