Either is great for an extended stay. Although you may not want to, there are many good reasons to leave the Inn and explore the surrounding countryside. A spring visit might find you salmon fishing, enjoying the Folk, Jazz or Classics festival, kayaking, hiking, birding, or biking the beautiful back roads. Summer brings the most beautiful views and gardens you can imagine and comraderie with other world travelers. The midnight sun allows you time to enjoy it all.
Fall starts our theater season.
And winter brings great X-C and downhill skiing.
