Bed & Breakfast , opens in a new window
The Ski Tip's charm extends from the historic building's exterior to the quaint lodging rooms and the little details that include board games available at the front desk and a ceramic cookie jar filled with house-baked treats. An inviting staff welcomes guests "home" to the cozy rooms.
When it comes to rooms, choose from two styles: a private room with queen bed and bathroom or a two-bedroom suite with one queen bed and two twin beds adjoined by a private bathroom. Once the family residence of resort founders Max and Edna Dercum, it's no surprise that the two living rooms, complete with stone fireplaces and hand hewn beams, are perfect for lounging with your morning coffee.
