Pine Hill Ski Hotel

"Let's get this out of the way right now: this isn't the Marriott, Hyatt or Four Seasons. Walk up the front stairs and be greeted by two dogs who run the joint.

"The Wheelhouse is a regular stay for us when we visit Bellayre to ski. Cinthia and Rob are great hosts, and our stays have always been pleasant.
