From October through March, skiers and snowboarders take to the slopes here. Our cabin overlooks it and it's a highlight of our year! Some days the resort makes snow and shoots it over our cabin. This resort is family friendly and a great size resort for beginners of all ages.

Wine lovers
Enjoy sitting on the porch with a great glass or try a wine tasting as happy visitors stroll by this enchanting downtown.
Every time we visit, the great wine choices and ambiance thrills us. Go on a summer Friday night and sit outside to hear music from the Inn at Ragged Garden. Delightful!

Hikes
The path starts out easy, then you comes to the falls and you travail some steep ground, but worth it to see this amazing waterfall!
Don't miss this beautiful year round hiking spot. Circle the lake or go off on a separate path but you'll come back often to this exquisite trail!
