Empire & Embers

Steps from Park City Mountain Resort's Creole Run, this alpine home puts serious skiing at your door without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. Inside, a great room anchored by a fireplace and leather sofas frames the mountain views, while the top-floor suite has its own fireplace and a private balcony for morning coffee with cold air and wide skies. After the slopes, the private hot tub earns its keep – and on slower evenings, the theater room with a wet bar gives you somewhere to fully decompress.

Home truths:
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. You'll have parking for two vehicles here – one in the garage and one in the driveway.
* A starter supply of toiletries, cleaning products, and kitchen essentials is included on arrival. Once those run out, restocking is down to you, so it's worth doing a grocery run early in your stay.
* The walk to the ski lifts is just 250 metres, but it isn't ski-in/ski-out from the door.
* The home spans multiple levels, so you'll be moving between floors regularly – whether heading from the great room down to the theater, or up to the top-floor suite.
