Experiencing the outdoors in style

While reading today's USA Today, I stumbled across the following article - a round-up of fabulous resorts that all feature a common main draw: the great outdoors. In 10 Great Places to Take Real Comfort in Nature, Kathy Baruffi outlines some stunning stays that any nature-lover would be proud to take park in.

Included are:

- Boulders Inn (New Preston, Conn.)
- Cibolo Creek Ranch (Marfa, Texas)
- Libby Camps (Ashland, Maine)
- Denali Backcountry Lodge (Kantishna, Alaska)
- Blackberry Farm (Walland, Tenn.)
- Sundance Resort (Utah) pictured above
- Little Palm Island Resort & Spa (Little Torch Key, Fla.)
- Lake Quinault Lodge (Quinault, Wash.)
- Lake Powell Resorts& Marinas (Page, Ariz.)
- Devil's Thumb Ranch (Tabernash, Colo.)
