This mountain-lodge-style hotel, where the river-rock lobby has a wonderfully large hearth, is a good base for exploring the town or going skiing and trout fishing nearby. Rooms are elegantly furnished; request number 140 for a view of the creek. In summer you can sit around fire tables near the water's edge.
This former antiques store and car garage landed in the right hands with the Rose family, who transformed it into a boutique hotel for those on a hostel budget. Designed with community in mind, there are plenty of common spaces, including a kitchen; picnic area; and lounge with games, books, and a fireplace for winter nights. Rooms are spotless and modern, including the bunk rooms for hikers seeking refuge from the Pacific Crest Trail. Among the lodging options are seven private rooms, five family rooms, four bunk rooms, and one apartment suite. In summer, an airstream is set up, offering pastries to go with your free coffee served daily from 6 to 10 am.
