Divinely situated away from town, this upscale golf resort and spa has Arts and
Crafts-style chalets nestled in the woods around the shores of Lake Siskiyou. They're a bit
soulless, but they're immaculate, and each has a kitchen and gas fireplace. Basic lodge
rooms are near the golf course, which boasts some challenging greens and amazing views
of the mountain.
The restaurant has excellent views as well and serves Californian cuisine with a large
selection of steaks.

Trendy restaurants and cafes here come and go with the snowmelt, but there are still some
