The Thompson House is easily one of the most family-friendly hotels in the area: It offers tons of activities for kids -- including bocce, tennis, putting golf, and pool tables -- a great outdoor heated pool, and a policy that lets children under 10 stay free. Rooms are spacious and bright, with simple, slightly dated decor, and free Wi-Fi. Most have balconies overlooking the mountain or the golf course, but a few still feature old tube TVs and not all have air-conditioning and mini-fridges. While this is a great pick year-round, note that many of the kid-friendly features close during the winter months and the property becomes geared more toward skiers and hikers.
