Hotels

Family-owned hospitality brand Huttopia offers family travelers alternative stay ideas this winter. Expect cozy, eco-designed stays mixing the warmth of a winter cabin with a camping feel and comfort of a ready-to-go experience without the price tag of luxury ski resorts.

 

Typically, travelers book Huttopia for camping trips in the summer, but the brand now offers winter stays at three destinations, all just a short drive from major U.S. cities. Each property is designed to immerse guests in nature and outdoor adventure.
