As painful as it is to say, a Hilton, Marriott, or Sheraton Vacation/Resort hotel that offers winter and summer excursions and outdoor activities. A one stop vacation shop that has a steady clientele of customers.
It'll attract high end vacationers and allow other small business to grow in the area as well.
Motels and B&B's can not financially sustain year round guests; it's going to require big corporate bucks to bring in a constant flow of visitors. Most people trust a corporate logo more so than Bob's Motel with free HBO. (unfortunately)
How many of us research Hotels and Restaurants on the internet? (Yelp, TripAdvisor, ect) Everyone looks up where they are going to go and what there is to do in the area. Can't remember the last time I ordered a hotel brochure.
Look at Meredith.... If it wasn't for the Common Man company, it would look like the Weirs.
