Fodor's Expert Review Mountain Home Lodge

This contemporary mountain inn, where peeled-pine and vine-maple furniture fills the rooms, is built of sturdy cedar and redwood and sits on a 20-acre alpine meadow with breathtaking Cascade Mountains views. Rooms are outfitted with handmade quilts, binoculars, robes, and port wine; two posh, romantic cabins are perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply getting away from it all in style. The property offers direct access to miles of wildlife-abundant trails, and there's a hot tub and seasonal heated pool. Lunch and dinner, on-site or to go as a picnic, can be arranged.
