Owners Monty and Karen Turner took six months off from operating their rustic seven-room lodge on the Icicle River to tour the world on a tandem; then they returned and wrote a guide to the rides in the Icicle Valley and surrounding Wenatchee National Forest. Handcrafted log furniture, Jacuzzis, private decks with wilderness views, and Specialized mountain bikes come with every room. Doubles, $205–$425; 800-288-6491, ‡Signature Ride: Take a three-mile spin from the inn to the 14-mile Freund Canyon Trail, which starts off with a 1,400-foot ascent up hardpack singletrack. ‡The Bike: The nearby Das Rad Haus bike shop rolls out hardtails and full-suspension rides. $30–$40 per day; 509-548-5615

Doubles, $179; 800-791-4044, ‡Signature Ride: The Amasa Back Trail, five miles from town, lacks the cachet of the Slickrock Trail but offers a technical, 5.5-mile doubletrack climb up slickrock domes and over rock shelves.

Each suite offers high-ceilinged space, minimalist decor, and a deck with an outdoor fireplace. Loosen your pistons at the Bathhouse spa, or call in a private massage therapist. Doubles, $475–$1,225; 707-254-2800, ‡Signature Ride: For a tough 70-miler, hit the asphalt at the ranch, pedaling past vineyards on the extra-wide shoulder of Silverado Trail.

Loop back on the Silverado Trail. ‡The Bike: Calistoga Bike Shop provides free hybrid loaners to ranch guests and can deliver rentals like Bianchi Brava road bikes ($40 per day) to your door. 866-942-2453, .
