Rugged meets refined at this resort, located at the base of the mountain at Beaver Creek. From the 10-gallon hat-clad doorman who greets you to the rustic great room, this resort captures the spirit of the Old West while incorporating polished style. The rooms and suites are comfortable and stylish, with leather chairs, dark wood furniture and wood beamed ceilings. Iron chandeliers and twig furnishings adorn the public spaces. This family-friendly resort offers an abundance of activities, including fly fishing, a horseshoe pit, two children’s play areas, an outdoor pool, golf and of course, skiing.
