We had 20 of our friends out for my wife's 30th birthday and could not have asked for more. Jenni is wonderful and made sure that everything was taken care of smoothly from arrival to departure. She even took us to the ER when I broke my collar bone. Chef Meryl's food was excellent. Overall this was a great experience and all of our friends keep letting me know how much fun they had.

Everything is flawless at the Casa Nova. Having recently spent a week with my family, I can say first hand that this the best way to spend a family ski weekend... If you have the means, book a week. It's worth every penny.

Celebrated my 60th with hubby and closest friends. What a magnificent experience in all respects. Gorgeous home with wonderful feeling to it. Jenni (happiness personified), Meryl (chef extraordinaire), Sara (yoga guru), Cherish and Amy (magnificent spa services) were wonderful. We felt like we were among friends. Had a wonderful balance of exercise and total relaxation. We frequently rent homes for vacation and it was one of the top rental experiences we have had. The home reflects a warm and welcoming feeling that I assume reflects the owners. We totally enjoyed the experience and would not hesitate to return.

My family lives all over the country and we meet every summer to get together..second time to Utah, first time to Casa Nova. It was an amazing trip. We loved everything, the views, the hiking, the ballooning, the boating, the chef..yeah Meryl, the cleaning ladies and of course Jenni! We shopped, we fished, we watched movies in the screening room...we had a hat night, a disco night and poker night. The weather was perfect and even if it did rain, it was like a work of art, watching the clouds form over the mountains and start to rain. Thank you for sharing your dream house with us.

Casa Nova is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you only hope you can re-live every year of your life! The estate provides the utmost luxury and comfort, and the breathtaking view and convenient location are unbeatable. As a first-time skier, I could not have asked for a better experience than I had at Casa Nova!

Once you get to CasaNova, there is no reason to leave, other than to ski! Why leave to go out to eat when you have a gourmet chef like Merrill to cook wonderful meals for you. Why leave to go for a spa treatment when the therapist will come to Casanova. Why go to a ski rental place to rent or repair your skis when Black Tie rentals will come to you. All I can say is that the Casanova experience is the total vacation experience. The only problem is that you never want to leave and return to REAL life.

Our recent stay at Casa Nova was wonderful. We were a large group who were able to enjoy camaraderie AND privacy in this magnificent home. Every detail was addressed by Jenni and her superlative staff. We stepped onto slopes just by walking out the back door. Relaxed with a good book next to the fire in the library. Enjoyed a movie in a state of the art theater. Meryl astounded us with three gourmet meals a day. So we worked out in the full fitness room with steam, sauna, and hot tub. We even danced the night away under a disco ball! It was the most enjoyable, luxurious vacation we’ve ever taken in one of the most beautiful, welcoming homes we’ve ever seen. Thanks to you all! We had the time of our lives.

Casa Nova is absolutely stunning. It is warm, comfortable, beautiful and downright fun! My week at Casa Nova was perfect...from my beautiful suite to the gym, sauna, steam room, hot tubs and massage room! I also enjoyed the extensive amenities available, including the gorgeous kitchen and theater. Jenni Haines was the perfect hostess and made sure I was having a fabulous time-- and thank you to the Toros for welcoming our family! I will recommend Casa Nova to everyone for the supreme vacation/inspiration location!

I have traveled quite a bit but have never stayed any place like Casa Nova. Everything about it is perfect. There is anything you can amagine there and some things you can't amagine. Everything is truly state of the art and I truly enjoyed myself. '

CasaNova is a stunning and gracious mountain retreat. Large enough to accomodate our group, but intimate enough to relax and rejuveninate. Everything was stunning, a beautiful HOME that happens to be a destination. Our women's retreat was enhanced by the location, views and gregarious concierge, Jenni. I would say CasaNova is the place to be, and not just for skiing. Don't wait for the snow!

JenniMany thanks for a spectacular stay at Casanova. It was the perfect place to host our family birthday celebration. The Casanova experience is like staying at one’s own private five star hotel, with every conceivable amenity, luxurious surroundings, and a spectacular setting. Everyone in our group had a fabulous time, from the youngest to the oldest. Your gracious hospitality and boundlessly cheerful offers of assistance were much appreciated, and made our vacation truly memorable.BestThe Burnham FamilyNew York, Pittsburgh, Chicago and San Francisco

We have done six family vacations before our visit to Casanova this August. Casanova was far and away the best that anyone could ever experience. This is probably the closest I'll ever get to staying at The White house or Buckingham Palace. The accommodations and Jenni were absolutely FIVE STAR PLUS. It just doesn't get any better!

Casa Nova was nothing short of SPECTACULAR. The immediate access to the slopes made it easy to jump off during the day to get a bite to eat, a cocktail and even a quick nap. Casa Nova is impeccably decorated and has ample room for numerous families. The various living spaces on the separate floors made for great places to congregate and enjoy each other’s company. Oh yes . . . there are also the wonderful views. And if you are looking for top shelf service, Jenny and her staff are there to take care of your every want and need. Truly a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to go back!

I thought I had seen everything but would then notice another small touch that makes Casa Nova outstanding. While every need or luxury is at your fingertips – Casanova still feels like home. Great service ranging from Jenni picking you up at the airport, personal ski fitting in the lodge, and the private chef eliminates the need to leave…and if you stay, the amenities are there to support exercise, games, or just enjoying a movie in a theater where you feel like you are in the film. I was there with a small group of colleagues on a spring ski trip and will return again for more. Furthermore, I couldn’t picture a better place to bring a family (or several) and enjoy time together. The residence has room to spread out, but the common spaces provide just the right amount of gathering room without feeling enclosed. No website could do it justice – you have to see it to believe it.

Our extended family stayed here for a week over the New Year's holiday and were extremely pleased with the facilities, the amenities and the service. The house is spectacular and evry possible facility and amenity was included. It allowed us to relax and/or entertain in a relax and comfortable style. There was also very personal and helpful assistance with any need (or wish) we had. I would have no reservation about recommending this to anyone looking for an exceptional vacation retreat.

A chance of a lifetime. It has to be by far the most wonderful vacation I have every been on. No stone was left unturned, if you can dream it, it can happen. The staff is the most responsive, fun, energetic people I know. If a life of the rich and famous is what you are after, this is the place to come. It has all been thought about, even the boot warmers. Looking forward to the next trip to Wonderful Winter Land Casa Nova.

Casa Nova should be considered a work of art. The experience was truly unbelievable. No detail was overlooked at Casa Nova. The views from the house overlooking the valley and lake are breathtaking. Casa Nova is the ultimate escape.

All I can say is 'WOW'! By far the best vacation destination we have ever been to. The amenities truly exceeded not only my expectations, but my imagination as well. First time in my life I ever had second thoughts about leaving the house to hit the slopes, despite the fact there was new snow almost every day. Most incredible home-theater I have ever seen. Can’t wait to get back!

We stayed at CasaNova for a wonderful ski trip with a group of long-time friends in April. One couple had stayed previously on a corporate retreat. This was the best location, accommodations, and service of any ski vacation we have been on by far...in a class by itself! We were pampered...non-skiers loved taking advantage of the house facilities. When we weren't on the slopes, we just enjoyed the amenities the house had to offer...spa, jacuzzi pools, theatre room, fireplaces, decks, game room, and tremendous meals that we had prepared by a local chef that came in...she also gave us a cooking class. We were all glad we chose Deer Valley and Casanova, as this was the best time with our good friends...well worth it....what a blast we had....would like to make this an annual get together and plan to re-book for late March or early April. (Spring skiing is excellent there)

Don't hesitate to book Casa Nova...there will be no regrets.. except when you have to leave! Jennie will spoil you, the property is over the top, and being there with 5 other families..we never felt confined. To wake up to such a beautiful view each morning was a blessing. The house may be large, but these folks have went out of their way to make it feel like your best friends home and have hit their mark! After a weeks stay, not one person had a negative comment about our stay. AWESOME is even an understatement. This home is the ultimate property without a doubt. Book and enjoy!

Casa Nova is a phenomenal place to stay for a once in a lifetime vacation. Our family of five stayed there last winter, and the accomodations surpassed all expections. It was one of the best family vacations ever. The amenities are fantastic, the onslope ski access is second to none, and the home is spacious and beautiful. I do not use the word "home" lightly , because the staff is friendly, warm, and gracious in all respects. Casa Nova is our all time favorite!!

The property has a very well-designed website and we expected to find a beautiful house when we got there. When we got there, the house just blew us away, as the website didn't do justice to the actual house. Our extended family had a wonderful time from the moment Jenni, the concierge, met us at the airport, to watching the Olympics opening ceremony in the great theatre room the night before we left. Eveyone in our family had a wonderful time.

I had the privilege of staying at Casa Nova with several other families and it far exceeded any expectations I had. From the personalized Concierge service, private chef, attention to every imaginable detail, ultimate furnishings and accommodations (the design of this home is such that you don’t feel like others are staying under the same roof until you congregate in the party areas!), amenities such as 2 hot tubs, o2 bar, gym, steam room, theater, library, total home automation throughout the entire villa, elevator and much, much more. This place rocks, an ultimate experience!Any season of the year, Casa Nova lives up to the distinction as “Ultimate Vacation Villa” by the Robb Report.

I stayed at Casa Nova for a week in February last year and all I can say is WOW !! We were a group of 18 and we never felt cramped, due to the multiple living areas. The amenities in this mansion are beyond belief. It is, by far, the finest ski accommodation I have ever seen, much less slept in !! All families enjoyed incredible "master suites". From the magnificently decorated public spaces and suites to the ease of ski access and totally over-the-top technology, this place is awesome". By far the best vacation we have ever been on. It even has a full spa! I can't think of any amenity that was left off. WE WILL BE BACK !!"
