In this week's vacation roundup, we look at 10 different ways to stay near the slopes, from a luxury chalet to a ski-in cabin.

Timberline Lodge and Ski Area

Timberline Lodge

It's too late to reserve a hotel room at Timberline Lodge or a condo at the Lodge at Government Camp for New Year's Eve, but it's not too early to book for next year.

The iconic lodge was built of Oregon trees and native stone by WPA workers during the Depression. Architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood, who also designed Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel and other lodges in the U.S. national park system, called for a Rustic Cascadian Neovernacular style. The structure is a National Historic Landmark.
