For a winter escape with all the amenities and not the expensive price tag, Porches Inn offers two nights accommodations with a full-day of skiing at nearby Jiminy Peak -- the largest ski and snowboard area in Southern New England.

Skiing families of all skill levels can enjoy the easiest green to difficult double black diamond challenges for an ultimate bonding experience.

Warm up after hitting the slopes with hot chocolate and Viennese pastries waiting for guests at the Inn. Guests can also add on an extra day of skiing or riding at discounted rates for even more family together time. During down-time from the slopes, enjoy the inn's vintage Arts and Crafts pieces, painted chests, lamps from the 1940's and 50's and plush, contemporary chairs and couches.

This 2N package is priced at $329 during the week and $459 on weekends and runs 11/12/2007 through 5/15/08 (conditions permitting). Enjoy accommodations in a spacious room with queen-sized bed, high-speed Internet, dual phone lines, and DVD player. Choose from a tasty Continental buffet breakfast, or in-room dining arriving in Porches' signature metal lunchbox. For dinner packages, Porches collaborates with several like-minded restaurants in the area.

Families looking for added comfort can upgrade to a suite for an additional $60 per night. The package price also include all taxes and meal gratuities and are based on two people.
