Topnotch Resort & Spa opened back in 1959 as a small, family-owned ski village inn with strong community ties. Today it's a much bigger resort, but even though it's been modernized quite a bit, it still holds an old-fashioned charm.
The resort's restaurant, Flannel, has stunning views, stellar service and excellent food. During your visit here, you'll appreciate the mountain scenery that visitors have loved since the 1950s.
