Sunset Lodge, our "Mountain Home" is a beautiful custom built 5000 square foot private house with three levels and vaulted ceilings. The house is located near the top of the ridge on Solamere Drive in the Lower Deer Valley area. One of the few houses in the Solamere area with unobstructed, spectacular views.

Then relax in the large hot tub on the outside deck overlooking the Park City Valley.
Our NON-SMOKING, NO PET home is perfect for a large extended family or just as good for one, two or three couples with or without children who want the privacy of their own house. You are a little over one mile from the main Snow Park Lodge at Deer Valley and two miles from Historic Park City's Old Town Main Street with many great restaurants and interesting shopping. Fly into the Salt Lake City International Airport, pick-up your rental car, and you can be at Sunset Lodge in 45 minutes unless you stop to make purchases on your way through Park City.
There are no houses behind or in front of our home. The houses on each side enjoy the same private feeling and views. The driveway up to the garage is short. Sunset Lodge is located on a quiet drive with little traffic in an exclusive area of Lower Deer Valley.
The Deer Valley Ski Resort offers complimentary ski storage at Snow Park Lodge so there is no need to carry your skis to the car after skiing - unless you plan to ski one of the other great Utah resorts within easy driving distance. The Park City Ski Resort and The Canyons Ski Resort are minutes away. Solitude and Brighton are located in Big Cottonwood Canyon; Alta and Snowbird are located in Little Cottonwood Canyon, both are an hours drive away. We have an efficient forced air dryer for six pairs of boots AND six pairs of gloves in the ground floor entry area so wet boots and gloves will never be an issue when you spend your skiing/snowboarding vacation at Sunset Lodge.

Map & Owner's Profile
Sunset Lodge - Lower Deer Valley Solamere House Expansive View
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Solamere
Deer Valley is a great location for a winter "ski" house and a summer "hiking/biking" house. You cannot beat the convenience of flying into Salt Lake City International airport and being at our house in under an hour. Deer Valley Ski Resort is one mile away and there are a number of fabulous ski resorts within easy driving distance. The summer hiking and biking is unmatched in our opinion.
The Unique Benefits at this Private Custom Built House
We fell in love with the fantasatic views of the surrounding mountains and the Park City valley. Enjoying the fabulous deck to look "down valley" over Park City is wonderful, especially at sunset. We enjoy music and have a nice stereo system with speakers in a number of the rooms and on the deck. There are many ways to relax in our mountain home.
The main lodge for the Deer Valley Ski Resort. One mile from our house, "Sunset Lodge." Valet ski attendants. Free overnight ski storage.
Owner's Map of Private Homes, Solamere
We grew up in Southern California and were fortunate to enjoy both mountain and oceanside activities. We live and work in the Miami, Florida area. We both love sunsets. Our goal was to be able to retire with a mountain house and a oceanside house. "Sunset Lodge" is our Deer Valley mountain house with a spectacular sunset view "down valley" overlooking Park City. We also have a Florida Keys house, "Sunset Reef," with an equally fantastic sunset view. We are blessed in life with great family and good friends.
