Le style rustique mâtiné de moderne redescend le chic de son nuage. Qui aurait deviné que cuir et tartan iraient si bien ensemble?

A bags-game-on-the-lawn and canoe-paddles-over-the-mantle kind place – happily hosting guests since 1972.

Skiing, rafting, hiking, fishing, golfing – even Zagat-rated dining. Every -ing imaginable is all right here. But first, free breakfast(!).

Classy rooms (minus the ’tude) and spa-inspired baths keep us comfy and relaxed… and did we mention comfy?

Ski, rando, boutiques, paris – ne pas savoir ce qu'on va faire ensuite est un de nos problèmes préférés.

Jouez-la comme Manaudou à la piscine.

Authentic Mexican joint onsite (don’t leave without trying the guac) + spot-on home-style fare at the 24-hour grill (aka your eats are more than covered).

30 hectares boisés émaillés de multiples chalets, qui offrent toutes sortes d'hébergements, des chambres classiques aux studios en passant par de vastes maisons.

You’ve got your pick of outdoors-y to-dos around this gem, ranging from hiking to river rafting (ask the adventure concierge for a killer rec).

Set on the edge of Lake Tahoe – and steps from a ski resort – you can snow ski in the winter and water ski in the summer.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

Suite/condo-style setup in historic Genoa, with upscale eats at the 1862 Restaurant and more casual fare at the Saloon Bar.

Rooms rock a posh-rustic vibe complete with goose down comforters, mini-fridges and private balcony or patio (for obvious stunning-view reasons).

Lodge-like clubhouse in Squaw Valley – gardeny setting is perfect for BBQs. Borrowable bikes and snowshoes if you’re up for an adventure.

Sneak just across the border to Stateline and have some legal casino fun.

Originally built for the 1960 Winter Olympic delegation, rustic, this place is not. Luxe linens and posh bath amenities await.

Warm, gooey cinnamon rolls at the complimentary hot breakfast make our morning.

Close to Heavenly Village shops & dining – plus outdoorsy adventures. The gondola’s right outside, and the lakeside beach and marina are walkable.

Idyllically situated atop the Sierra Nevadas (aka jaw-dropping views all around).
