Alaskan Inn and Spa

You’ll find the full-service Alaskan Inn up Ogden Canyon at 435 Ogden Canyon. The expansive lodge offers both Alaskan-themed suites and private cabins situated on the peaceful banks of the Ogden River.

In the winter, there are sleigh rides and skiing, and in the summer there is fishing and hiking up in the mountains. Go kayaking or paddleboarding at the nearby Pineview Reservoir. Then, unwind with a couples massage or therapeutic massage in the spa and get room service or enjoy a romantic dinner in the dining room.

Little Bear River Retreat

You’ll enjoy the drive through Sardine Canyon in your Chevy Trailblazer to reach Little Bear River Retreat nestled in Cache Valley, at 878 Baxter Hollow in the aptly-named town of Paradise. With three private rooms and five cabins, you can come solo or bring along a group of friends to enjoy the amenities in this small-town getaway.

The beautifully-renovated main lodge is fully equipped with a commercial kitchen and large bathrooms, and the cabins are comfortable but more rustic. If you have an RV, there are hookups as well as tent spaces. A large recreational area includes an amphitheater and firepit, a playground, and walks along the river.

Powder Mountain

Although Powder Mountain is best known for its ski resort, the lodges are open year-round to offer luxury accommodations in the mountains. In the summer, there are a number of golf courses nearby, mountain biking, Eccles Dinosaur Park, and Antelope Island nature preserve. You can go fly fishing or mountain biking or skydiving if you’re adventurous. Or, you can just hide away inside your luxurious mountaintop lodge.

The lodges are well-appointed and offer unbeatable mountaintop views. You can cook in the lodge’s kitchen, or you can go down the mountain for a short drive into town to a number of excellent restaurants. Ski packages are available in the winter and golf packages for Wolf Creek Golf Course are available in the summer. If you’re looking for a more expansive getaway, Powder Mountain might be an excellent option for you.
