“Nestled on 78 acres with its own lake, this resort strikes me as a classic mountain escape. I appreciate the Bob Timberlake Inn, and the sporting reserve should appeal to outdoorsy types; I imagine families will find much to do, but the spa also promises downtime. For those looking for an active yet relaxing vacation, this could be a great fit.”
