I am not what you'd call an "outdoorsy" person. My idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service. But mountain resort deals converted me, because it turns out you can sit on a cabin porch with coffee, stare at misty peaks, and never actually have to hike anywhere. That's my kind of nature. Here are 15 mountain vacation deals that'll make you want to trade your beach towel for a flannel shirt. At least temporarily. See all destination deals for more options across the country.
1. Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort, Gatlinburg — $89/Night for 4 Nights
This Westgate property is the king of Smoky Mountain deals. One- and two-bedroom cabins with fireplaces, hot tubs, and mountain views. The resort has an indoor/outdoor waterpark, multiple restaurants, and it's right at the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. At $89, you'd pay more for a mediocre Airbnb in the area.
2. Wyndham Smoky Mountains, Sevierville — $99/Night for 4 Nights
Just outside Pigeon Forge, this Wyndham resort has massive two-bedroom units with full kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies overlooking the Smokies. The indoor pool and lazy river are a hit with kids, and Dollywood is 10 minutes away. The presentation is 90 minutes, and then you're free to eat your weight in Gatlinburg taffy.
3. Marriott's StreamSide at Vail — $179/Night for 3 Nights
Vail, Colorado for $179 a night is insane, especially if you've ever looked at Vail hotel prices. StreamSide has cozy condos with fireplaces and kitchens, a heated outdoor pool, and a free shuttle to Vail Village. In winter it's a ski deal; in summer it's hiking and mountain biking. Year-round stunner of a deal.
4. Bluegreen Shenandoah Villas, Blue Ridge — $89/Night for 4 Nights
Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains are criminally underrated. These Bluegreen villas are nestled in the mountains near Skyline Drive with decks overlooking the valleys. The units have fireplaces and full kitchens. The area has wineries, hiking, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. At $89, it's a steel compared to New England fall foliage trips.
5. Wyndham Pagosa Springs, Colorado — $109/Night for 4 Nights
Pagosa Springs has the world's deepest natural hot spring, and this Wyndham resort gives you access to nearby hot spring facilities. The suites have mountain views and fireplaces, and the town itself is charming in that "I could see myself retiring here" kind of way. Wolf Creek Ski Area is 25 minutes away for winter visits.
6. Holiday Inn Club at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin — $99/Night for 3 Nights
Okay, not exactly mountains, but the rolling hills around Lake Geneva give you that mountain-escape vibe without the altitude sickness. This resort has a huge pool complex, golf course, and lakefront activities. It's a popular weekend escape from Chicago, and the $99 rate makes it cheaper than most Chicago hotel rooms.
7. Massanutten Resort, Virginia — $99/Night for 4 Nights
Massanutten has a little bit of everything — skiing in winter, a massive indoor/outdoor waterpark, golf courses, and hiking trails. The two-bedroom condos have kitchens and mountain views. It's about 2 hours from DC, making it a perfect escape from political stress. Which, lets be honest, everyone needs.
8. Westgate Park City Resort, Utah — $149/Night for 3 Nights
Park City is where rich people go to ski. This Westgate deal lets regular people go too. The resort is right on the Canyons ski slopes with ski-in/ski-out access, a spa, and suites that are genuinely luxurious. In summer, the area transforms into a hiking and mountain biking paradise with the Sundance Film Festival vibes lingering year-round.
9. Blue Ridge Village, Banner Elk — $89/Night for 4 Nights
Banner Elk, North Carolina is the heart of the Blue Ridge with Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain ski resorts nearby. These village-style condos have mountain views, fireplaces, and a cozy, rustic feel. The area has some of the best craft breweries in the South, which is reason enough to visit. The skiing is just a bonus.
10. Wyndham Flagstaff Resort, Arizona — $109/Night for 3 Nights
Mountain vacation in Arizona? You bet. Flagstaff sits at 7,000 feet with ponderosa pine forests, ski slopes at Snowbowl, and the Grand Canyon an hour and a half away. This Wyndham property has spacious suites and a pool. It's also the sunniest city in America, which means your mountain vacation comes with vitamin D.
11. Bluegreen Wilderness Club at Big Cedar, Branson — $99/Night for 4 Nights
Johnny Morris's Bass Pro empire includes this stunning Ozark Mountain resort. Log cabins, a lake, nature trails, and proximity to Branson's entertainment scene. The property feels like a national park lodge but with better amenities. Kids love the nature center and the pool that looks like a natural swimming hole.
12. Marriott's Timber Lodge, Lake Tahoe — $169/Night for 3 Nights
Lake Tahoe is stunning year-round, and this Marriott property in South Lake Tahoe puts you steps from Heavenly ski resort and the lake. The one- and two-bedroom suites have kitchens and fireplaces. Summer brings kayaking, hiking, and some of the bluest water you've ever seen. Winter brings world-class skiing.
13. Wyndham Durango, Colorado — $109/Night for 4 Nights
Durango is the quintessential Colorado mountain town — historic downtown, craft breweries, a narrow-gauge railroad, and stunning mountain scenery. This Wyndham property has comfortable suites and easy access to Purgatory ski resort, Mesa Verde National Park, and the Animas River for rafting.
14. Bluegreen MountainLoft Resort, Gatlinburg — $95/Night for 4 Nights
Another Smoky Mountain option, MountainLoft is slightly smaller and quieter than the big Westgate property. The suites have mountain views, fireplaces, and jacuzzi tubs. The indoor pool is nice, and you're close to both Gatlinburg's tourist strip and the national park entrance. Perfect for couples who want romance without the crowd.
15. Hyatt High Sierra Lodge, Lake Tahoe — $159/Night for 3 Nights
Incline Village on Tahoe's north shore is more laid-back than South Lake, and this Hyatt property reflects that vibe. Studios and one-bedrooms with kitchenettes, a heated pool, and free shuttle to Diamond Peak ski resort. North Tahoe has fewer crowds and, arguably, better views. The drive around the lake is one of the most scenic in America.
