The Everline Resort & Spa

It’s hard to wow in the mountains, where snow-dusted peaks do all the head-turning. And yet Everline Resort & Spa has become a showstopper that generations of families return to year after year. Guest rooms are traditionally appointed, with all the trimmings: including pillow-top beds, fluffy robes and slippers, Keurig Coffee makers, LED flatscreen TVs, and iPhone charging docks, and start at a spacious 379 square feet. For an even dreamier stay, it’s well worth upgrading to one of their 200 Fireplace Suites; each one is equipped with a deep soaking tub, Bose stereos, kitchenettes and, in the separate living room, a flickering gas fireplace that’s the ideal backdrop for wine hour. (With floor plans that range from 646 to 1478 square feet, you’ll be as free-range as the local mule deer).

The ski-in, ski-out pride of the Olympic Valley, with cozy guest rooms (including suites with fireplaces), golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., and topnotch spa.

Hangry. Five restaurant options on-site include a poolside grill, Asian noodle house, and steakhouse where the locavore menu includes a grilled tomahawk from California’s own Harris Ranch.

Their par 71 championship golf course is nothing less than iconic, and swaddled by six snow-capped Sierra Mountain peaks. Golf Magazine deemed it among the top 10 golf courses you can ever play.

You love a spa that tailors its treatments to the locale, and this is exactly that. After your A Walk in the Woods Radiance Facial and High Altitude Massage, you proceed directly to Sandy’s Pub for yet another mountain indulgence: banana cream pie, delightfully served après-ski-style, in a mug.
