But, the exterior is just as stunning. You'll be able to sit outdoors on toadstools and roast s'mores, or relax in the wood-fired hot tub.

The resort is open from May until late-October, so you still have time to book your stay. It costs on $295 on weeknights, and $350 on weekends plus cleaning fees.
