My family and I live in Mississippi and are looking for a place to vacation for the Christmas holidays.
What we are looking for:
- Definitely wanting some snow
- Cabin like place to stay and relax
- Close to city or town for shopping, restaurants, tourism, etc etc
- Would be nice to have some Christmas atmosphere (ie lights, festival, show, etc)

Group:
- 6 adults
- one 10yr old
- 1yr old

Any info would be appreciated.... and anywhere in US is an option.

Thanks!!!

Try the Estes Park area in Colorado ... you can get a cabin in the trees and still be reasonably close to in-town shopping, restaurants, and other outdoor wintertime activities.

You might look into Central Oregon. Luckily for us, La Nina is predicted to bring tons of snow to the Cascades. Sunriver will have the rustic cabins your looking for, but you might also try searching for places in Bend. It's a great town with lots to do and definitely will have the Christmas vibe going on. Mt. Bachelor is within 20-30 minutes of either Bend or Sunriver and offers skiing, snowboarding, tubing, snowshoeing, dog sled rides, etc.

While I prefer Colorado snow, Mt Bachelor offers some of the driest snow anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. It's beautiful here!

I'd suggest Ouray. It's a six-hour drive from Denver (or an additional short flight to Montrose) but it defines "Christmas card" pretty.

Check into the YMCA cabins in Estes Park and Snow Mountain Ranch. Lots to do too. Snow Mountain Ranch will allow you to try skiing at Winter Park and to snow tube down Alpine Hill in Frasier. There is an indoor pool in addition to lots of other things. Estes Park is beautiful too, have done that and sat in the hot tub while watching it snow and listening to the creek.
Oh how I miss CO!

I second Breck or Keystone. Ski towns are fun. It will be $$ though since Christmas is their busy time.
