Once our family had decided on Park City to spend 10 days over the Dec holiday break, we wanted to find something that 1) accommodated extended family (total of 8 adults and 2 toddler), 2) was 4/5 star in terms of comfort and amenities, 3) was close to Main Street for the non-skiiers, and 4) close enough to the local lift for the skiiers/boarders. Thankfully, we found this house. Not only does it meet all of the criteria above, but it does so in real style! The "scandanavian modern" decor is exceptionally done, and everyone couldn't get over just how well it was designed and furnished. The living spaces are numerous, allowing for different people to spread out, and the 5 bd/5ba was enough to keep everyone comfortable. We loved using the "screening room" downstairs, and I can't say enough about how great it was having a heated garage to take off boots/gear. We also had internet access, as well as a custom surround sound system that can play off their iPod (great playlist btw!) or yours. Oh, almost forgot the hot tub in the backyard. I honestly can't think of another thing that we needed during our stay. To top it off, John the owner was great to coordinate with. We had arranged for a service to come and set up a Christmas tree ahead of our arrival, and John made sure it went smoothly. We hope to come back again soon!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children.

Just returned from a wonderful holiday week in the "blue house"! We are two families who shared it for a ski holiday. The listing is accurate and the place is beautiful, wonderfully designed and exquisitely clean. The location is superb for town lift to ski area or to walk to town to browse. As well, it is around the corner from a Banksy original, for art lovers. There are many restaurants within walking distance, but we ate in and the kitchen was high end and well supplied, only missing a plug-in tea kettle (for tea lovers!). The theater room was a huge hit with our teenagers after skiing, as was the jacuzzi. The laundry room is as beautiful as the rest of the house! A 5 star hotel couldn't compete with this blue house! Thank you for sharing it and giving us a memorable holiday.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with young children, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Wow, thanks so much. The plug-in tea-kettle is a good idea too – We'll add one for future renters. We love our home and are glad that our guests seem to enjoy it as much as we do! –– John & Barbara

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1991
About the owner: We moved here from New York nearly 20 years ago. Like the cliche says, we came for the skiing but stayed for the summers! As designers we've restored the adjoining homes, and created a communal back yard that gives each home a little more elbow room than most Old Town properties, while providing privacy too. We hope you enjoy your time in Park City as much as we have, and if you like modern, urban spaces then we think you'll love our newly restored home!
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
There's no better western powder than the Wasatch range, and no better place to stay than Park City. And for film-lovers, nothing beats the Sundance Film Festival.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Location, location, location. No matter how busy Main Street gets, we're still amazed by how quiet our house and backyard remains, and yet we're literally less than five minutes to the Town Lift, Sundance HQ, and Main Street's many great restaurants and bars.
Once you've arrived in Park City, the free & frequent bus system means you don't have to keep a car and fight for parking, if you don't want to.
