If you want something a little more "boutique" than the Westin you may want to try the Avia. A new boutique hotel in Napa, it offers contemporary decor and luxurious suites. Last I looked they had their rooms on sale for 20% off so a king suite was…

If you are on the peninsula and don't want to make the full trip over to Half Moon Bay, check out Webb Ranch in Palo Alto. It's got a nice pumpkin patch, a hay ride, a small "haunted house" (not very scary so even the little ones can go), and a jump…
Hi Amanda,
Have you tried Solage? I stayed there and it was both kid friendly and had a great restaurant. Another option might be Meadow Wood which does have cottages which are pretty family friendly.
Let me know where you decide to go...always lo…

Dodge Ridge: For something close to the Bay Area (that doesn't require the Tahoe-Interst…
You may want to check out Northstar for something that is driving distance. There are accommodations that are walking distance to the slopes and it has stores, restaurants and a skating rink at the base. The ski school is supposed to be top notch. I…
This may not be what you were thinking about but I have to throw my hat in the ring for Aspen. The snow is amazing. Great instructors. Really fun apres ski. Wonderful restaurants. And after the New Year, you will have less crowds.
