This hotel, owned by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and just 30 minutes from Seattle, has a breathtaking location on the very edge of the 268-foot Snoqualmie Falls.

You might recognize it as the setting for the '90s cult classic "Twin Peaks," and it welcomes fans of the show with themed spa treatments and drinks. Thanks to an on-site apiary, the hotel is also famous for its honey. You'll find the results at the spa and on the menu -- most famously drizzled atop its homemade biscuits.

Its 84 rooms are elegant but understated, in earthen tones -- probably so they don't compete with the views of the forest and river. Each has a fireplace, two-person Whirlpool tub and window seat or balcony.

Activities include hiking or paddling your way through the misty Cascade Mountains and nearby waterways. Or maybe you'll just want to perfect your apple, pumpkin or pecan pie at one of the lodge's upcoming culinary classes ($85 per person).
