A Weekend Getaway Surrounded by Nature

Treat Mom to an overnight escape in either our rustic-chic Lodge or casually elegant Inn. Both offer scenic mountain views, cozy accommodations, and space to unwind.

Celebrate Mom with a laid-back and delicious brunch at Catamount. Think fluffy pancakes, eggs made just the way she likes, fresh fruit, soup and sandwiches, and of course – mimosas.
