Seattle couldn’t be more perfect this time of year when the weather is just-right and Bumbershoot music festival fills the city with bands, like Fleet Foxes and J.Cole. These factors can add up to elevated rates at area hotels, but fortunately for Westerners, the hospitable and uber stylish Thompson Seattle extends a 20-percent discount to its neighbors from Montana, Oregon, California, and Idaho for its West is Best deal. The hotel is close to many of the venues that host big Bumbershoot acts, right across the street from Pike Place Market, and it hosts one of the best restaurants in town, Nest.

There are two ways to soak in summer at The Resort at Paws Up this Labor Day. Food lovers should get in on the Fish & Feast deal. To celebrate the long weekend, this Montana adventure basecamp recruited Portland chef Jason French to cook up an epic fish fry for guests. Starting rate includes the chef dinner, all other meals, and lodging in a gussied up tent for two. On the other hand, if you're looking for a longer stay with the entire fam, go for the Family Vacation package. Each day brings a new adventure of your choice—from rafting to rappelling to downhill mountain biking—as well as three locavore meals (with wine). Choose from 28 handsome homes that dot the 37,000-acre property, or opt for a glamped-up safari tent pitched along the river. Rate includes meals and lodging for two adults and two kids (with a five-night minimum stay).
