Frommer's Highly Recommended

At an elevation of 10,200 feet, this mountain-getaway lodge with interesting accommodations and excellent food offers the quintessence of Bavaria at the base of Taos Ski Valley's back bowls. The first-floor restaurant/reception area is crafted with aged pine paneling accented by an antler chandelier. Upstairs, the rooms combine antique and modern elements -- not always successfully, but with good intent. All are fairly spacious, with large bathrooms, most with lofts to accommodate kids. The rooms aren't cozy, and some have odd configurations, but they all utilize faux painting to evoke old Europe; some have kitchenettes and balconies. The sun deck is the place to be on sunny ski days, and the Bavarian Restaurant is worth visiting even if you aren't a guest. The lodge offers nature hikes in summer. Wireless Internet connection is available in the lobby.
