Direct access to the skiing of Beaver Creek is the lure of this mountain lodge with dormer windows, gables, and log balconies. For some, though, "it's hard to leave the comfy feather beds and their mountain views" in rooms with rustic colors and Frette linens. Staff are "welcoming and well trained." Six dining options include an outpost of Wolfgang Puck's Spago, and casual dining on bison burgers and nachos at Buffalo Bar.
