“Perched on a prime vantage point, this resort commands views of both the lake and mountains that define the region, and though it's a short drive from the town center, the scenery alone is worth the trip. The dining here emphasizes local ingredients alongside those breathtaking vistas, but options at breakfast could be more diverse. For travelers who prize a stunning panorama over immediate access to downtown bustle, this is a compelling choice.”
