Ski Magazine January 2002

Small & Swank
The Rusty Parrot’s biggest asset is its location: Unlike Jackson’s other high-end hostelries, it is within walking distance of Town Square and such après-ski hotspots as the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. The magnificent stone-and-log building contains 32 rooms, a spa and a restaurant. Guestrooms are handsomely done, if not exactly spacious, featuring handmade furniture and Native American-influenced fabrics. If you’re feeling flush, book a room with a fireplace and a whirlpool. What ever you do, don't skip breakfast, where you can indulge in specialties such as eggs Benedict infused with caviar or smoked trout –the kind of fuel you can only justify with a big day on the hill. At days end, indulge in a seaweed wrap, honey facial, or Moor Mud body wrap – or just wander downtown. You're within serious credit-card-damage range of the town’s best shops.
