This collection of 47 high-luxe cottages at the north end of the valley will be even better once the plantings mature; at the moment, they impart a newbie air that's at odds with the area's frontier-era pedigree. Rooms start at 600 square feet and include a bedroom and bath in a freestanding cedar-shingled structure connected to an expansive deck that functions as an outdoor living space; a second, utterly private deck off the master bath has a copper rainfall shower head. Guests not inclined to perambulate the wending wooded paths that connect the spa and restaurant at one end of the property to the lovely gym and pool complex at the other are whisked about on golf carts by the eager young staff. Apart from the uninspired though comfortable condo-style decor, quibbles include room service that isn't round-the-clock and the kind of nickel-and-diming ($10 for a DVD?) that costs more in goodwill than it nets in revenueat least at these near-usurious room rates.
