Fodor's Expert Review Compass Rose Lodge
198 S. 7400 E, Huntsville, Utah, 84317, USA Fodor's Choice
The gorgeous contemporary design, charming small-town location, hip coffeehouse, welcoming hosts, and light-filled sitting areas are—amazingly—not even the coolest things about this stylish boutique inn: that honor belongs to the silo-shape Huntsville Astronomic and Lunar Observatory, which adjoins the inn and offers unforgettable viewing experiences of the cosmos. The inn has stylishly appointed rooms with 50-inch TVs, climate control, plush bedding, and roomy white-tile standing showers with Beekman 1802 bath products. Rates include a delicious breakfast in Lift coffeehouse. It's a 15- to 20-minute drive from Ogden Valley's ski areas.

- half-price "star walk" observatory tours for guests
CONS
- fills up on weekends, especially in ski season
- not too many dining options in town
- slightly spendy for the area
