Fodor's Expert Review PlumpJack Inn

Stylish and luxurious, this two-story, cedar-sided inn has a snappy, sophisticated look and laid-back sensibility, perfect for the Bay Area cognoscenti who flock here on weekends. All rooms have sumptuous beds with down comforters, high-end bath amenities, iPod docks, and hooded terry robes to wear on your way to the outdoor hot tubs. The bar is a happening après-ski destination, and the namesake restaurant is superb. PlumpJack may not have the bells and whistles of big luxury hotels, but the service—personable and attentive—can't be beat. Not all rooms have tubs: if it matters, request one. A complimentary buffet breakfast for two is included.
