Unpack & Unwind

Whether you're heading this way for a winter family vacation or a Valentine's Day retreat, the Burke Area boasts all sorts of lodging choices from a slopeside hotel to country inns to vacation homes large enough to accommodate everyone including the family dog.

There's room for everyone at the spacious Ring Finger Ranch which offers 4 bedrooms and 2 living rooms.  Bring all your gear, too, since the house is just a quick jaunt to Kingdom Trails and Burke Mountain plus there is direct snowmobile trail access from the property.

Located in the heart of the Kingdom Trails Nordic Network, The Wildflower Inn offers a family friendly atmosphere with plenty to do just out the front door from fat-biking to snowshoeing to a cross country ski trek. There's even an outdoor skating rink and sledding hill!  Rooms, 2 or 3 room suites, and a cottage are available.  Some rooms are even dog friendly.

Planning to hit the slopes and pretty much live in your ski boots?  Check out the Burke Mountain Hotel with options ranging from studios with king beds, kitchenettes, and media hubs to 3 bedroom suites with a full kitchen, fireplace, and three tv's.

Burke Vacation Rentals manages over 50 properties on and off the mountain.  Whether you want a cozy, dog friendly chalet, a house with a chef's style kitchen, or a slopeside townhouse, they've got something to match your vacation preference.
