Description Timber & Town: Park City

A stone-and-timber house perched above downtown Park City, this is the kind of base that earns its keep in every season. Soak in the hot tub as mountain panoramas stretch out around you, then wind down beside one of five fireplaces after a day on the slopes. The kitchen and dining area are built for big groups – island seating, floor-to-ceiling windows, and mountain light flooding in. Ski storage and a covered three-car garage handle the practical side, while Main Street's restaurants and galleries are a seven-minute walk from the front door.

Home truths:
* Bedroom six has a pull-down Murphy bed and doubles up as an additional lounge.
* Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
* The garage fits two large vehicles and one smaller car – if you're arriving as a big group with multiple vehicles, plan ahead as additional street parking in this part of Old Town can be limited.
