All guest rooms are decorated with 19th-century styled upholstery and furniture, and include sweeping views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Prepare for your day of outdoor adventures at the hotel's health club, then rejuvenate and relax after a hike with a massage treatment at the on-site Aveda spa.
