Incredible true ski-in/ski-out location with upscale furnishings and well-stocked

Guest: Avid Skier (United States)
Date of Stay: 01/30/12 Review Submitted: 03/12/12

My wife and I stayed here for our 10 year anniversary, and couldn't have been more pleased. The location in Empire Pass was perfect - we felt like we had our own private portion of the mountain at Deer Valley in the mornings. This is a true ski-in/ski-out where your ski locker (w/ boot and hand warmers) is literally steps from the slopes. The condo is gorgeous and has upscale furnishings with great attention to detail. While we didn't have our children with us for this trip, what surprised us most was how well thought out the owners had stocked their condo with sippy cups, cribs, movies for all ages, board games, toys, video games, humidifier, air purifier, basic needs such as sugar and spices, etc. It felt like we could leave our home and walk into another home ready to go. We enjoyed frequenting the complimentary, convenient Starbucks hot chocolate machine, too :) Having the daily bolo tie lift ticket made us feel like we could ski whenever and not feel guilty if we skied less on any given day. Finally - the owner could not have been kinder and more accomodating - you will not be let down at this location!

Wonderful Summer Fun

My family of 5 have stayed 3 years in a row in this wonderful condo and have loved every minute. It is perfectly appointed and provisioned with all the basic necessities including spices, oils and other supplies. Videos for the kids, toys and games make our children feel right at home. The unit is a spectacular as the pictures. In addition, the owners go far beyond the highest standards to assist in making every aspect a breeze. We love Park City in the summer and hope to continue our tradition for many more years. Thanks again for such a great experience.

Owner response:Our special family friendly Arrowleaf property has everything for families. We add many extras and are always looking for more ways to adding more amenities. Suggestions are always appreciated. Winter or Summer we look forward to welcoming our guests at our two family-owned Deer Valley homes.

Wonderful vacation condo

We were thrilled with the condo at Deer Valley. There was not one item or convenience missing to create the perfect vacation experience. Games, COFFEE, big TV's, steam showers,books, outside deck, you name it and they had it. I especially liked the kitchen with it's professional stove and huge fridge. I love to cook so it was great fun to have such wonderful tools at my disposal. And there was a cookbook on a stand to make it even easier. What could be better? The area allowed us to indulge in golf and horseback riding and hot air balloning. Anything you wanted was either in the condo or the area. We highly reccomend this place to anyone wanting a perfect vacation!!! Thank you Martin for providing such a wonderful place.

Our Vacation

My wife and I stayed at this Condo in September and we are delighted to say we had an awesome time. The ammenities were fantastic. The management has left no stone unturned. Everything you could possibly want is included, such as TV, DVD, Video Games, personal laundry facilities, complete kitchen and get this, a private sauna in your room. Whirlpool and swimming within a short walk. The view is incredible. Local things to do all the time. Take my advice and do the Hot air balloon ride. We travel a lot and stay at 5 Star hotels. This beats them all. Thanks for the great time, Joe H.

Owner response:We try to think of everything that our guest would possibly want. And if there is something we do not have ask us and we are typically able to add new amenities. One note, we have two private Steam Showers not a private sauna (no other units in the entire building have steam showers). We also have a Whirlpool jacuzzi and access to three amazing outdoor hot tubs directly slope side.

Summer in Deer Valley

Guest: C J (Nashville,TN)
Date of Stay: 08/02/10 Review Submitted: 08/08/10

If you have not been to Park City/Deer Valley in the Summer don't miss the opportunity. We, our family, made our home base on Empire Pass Arrowleaf. Our condo was the perfect location with all the comforts of home. Everyday another adventure, hiking, bike riding or just lying by the pool. The weather was great with plenty of sunshine and cool nights along with concerts and good food. So remember summer in Park City is a special place.

Owner response:We agree with our guests - Park City winters are wonderful and the summers are spectacular. This summer while much of the country has been experiencing record breaking heat Park City has been averaging 70's during the day and 50's at night. If you have never experienced summer or fall in the mountains of Park City we encourage you to give it a try. Call us today for available dates.

Just like home, but better!, Wonderful Owners!

Living in Ohio, we found ourselves planning a last minute trip to attend a funeral. We decided to make a week of it to be able to spend time with my husband's extended family, and were fortunate enough to have found this place. The owners thought of everything, and put top-of-line everything in this home. The kitchen was well equipped, stocked with every spice, and kitchen gadget imaginable. The Wolf stove was quite a treat, and we also made use of the gas grill. No running out of propane for the grill, they have a main line to it! Our son loved playing with the toys provided, and we certainly noticed that they are well eqipped for infants as well. The beds were of exceptional quality, and quite comfortable. Laundry was an ease, and they even provided the detergent. Not a single detail was missed! We enjoyed the continental breakfast at Talisker Tower Club. Christian made us feel quite welcome, and the service was exceptional and unpretentious.I cannot comment about the skiing as it was summer during our visit. I will say, however, that this is a true ski-in ski-out condo, and I imagine the winters are amazing. Martin was a pleasure to deal with. He made us feel at ease, and worked out a deal for us last minute that was too good to turn down. We hope to find ourselves at Arrowleaf again, as I'm afraid no future lodging will be able to measure up to our stay here. We did not want to come home!

Owner response:We recognize that there are many choices for lodging in Deer Valley and we have tried to think of everything our guests and future guests may need. If we do not have something that a guest wants we always do our best to make sure to have it there. Our property is available at a fair rate with many more extras than other places. We have also set our ski home to be very family friendly as well as high end. For the children there are many toys, games, dolls, cars, Nintendo Wii and XBox 360, many DVD's and books. For adults we have wireless internet access (a laptop computer and printer/fax/copier/scanner), IPOP docking station, many DVD's, 2 Steam Showers (the only Steam Showers in the entire building), side-by-side washer/dryer (all other units in building are stacked with no counter or cabinets), books, a well stocked kitchen and more. We also offer our guests discount ski lift tickets, access to U.S. Ski Team members, as well as access to the luxury Tower Club which is directly across the slope (enjoy a wonderful continental breakfast, a memorable lunch or apres-ski, a workout, spa, an outdoor heated swimming pool and hot tub). We invite all readers to call us to see why our home is typically booked for 90-95% of available ski dates each ski season (compared to others that on average are booked about 40% of available dates). We offer more than others and will do all we can to make our guests happy and to have the best ski vacation (or summer vacation) ever.

Super location for ski in/ski out

Guest: Ski Traveler (Seattle, WA)
Date of Stay: 02/15/10 Review Submitted: 01/05/11

My family and I stayed at this property over the President's Day holiday in 2010. We love it - it is very conveniently located near a lift in the mid-mountain section so the first run of the day is usually like having your own private ski slope. We had 6 people staying at the condo and it was very comfortable. The bath rooms are well-appointed, the beds are quite comfortable and the kids really enjoyed the Xbox. The kitchen was nice as well. I would highly recommend this place and I consider mytself a fairly discerning traveler. Everything looked as it is shown in the photographs, which I also appreciated.

Owner response:Our guests are usually very excited when they stay in our condo as it is directly on the Silver Buck ski trail and only 100 yards from the Silver Lake Express high speed quad chairlift. While others in Snow Park (lower Deer Valley) are looking for a parking spot or are standing in the long line to buy their lift passes, or are waiting amongst the crowds to get on the chairlift up the mountain our guests are already on the slopes enjoying the fantastic skiing. Deer Valley has for 4 years in a row been voted the top ski resort in the country so skiing the slopes will be a treat for everyone. In deciding between lodging in Upper Deer Valley or lower Deer Valley the difference is similar to choosing between flying first class or on a private jet. Both are nice but Upper Deer Valley is superior due to the many conveniences to getting on the slope (for us 19 steps from our private ski locker). Hope you too can enjoy our wonderful ski property and its outstanding location and amenities.

We have always stayed at The Stein Erikson Hotel in DV, and decided to try something new this year. We were SO HAPPY that we did!!!! What a fabulous condo & location! We LOVED it! We had 4 adults and 6 kids, and never felt cramped at all. We would definitely recommend it to anyone who is used to staying in 5-star hotels, but always chokes at the bill in the end! We will be back next year!

Owner response:We don't have a huge advertising budget and hundreds of rooms to fill like other larger properties and property management companies. So we can invest more in each of our two Deer Valley ski properties and make them stand out from all the rest. You will also get more personal service and more amenities than other comparable properties at a fair rate. Our goal is happy guests. We will never take our guests for granted.

Excellent Property with perfect location

My family and I stayed in the Herrings aparment the first week of January 2010. We were a party of 9 people (5 adults and 4 children). The apartment was perfect for us, there was more than enough space. The property was in perfect condition, beautifully decorated and with all the amenities you can expect in a luxury residence. The thing that we liked the most about the apartment was its location. If you go to Deer Valley to ski, there is not better place to stay than Empire Pass and in Empire Pass this apartment has the perfect location.

Owner response:We are always work hard to make our property the best it can be for our guests. We offer more amenities than other properties in the same complex and area such as 2 steam showers (the only ones in complex), side by side washer dryer (the only ones in complex), whole unit professional sound system, XBox 360 and Nintendo Wii, expanded kitchen island with extra storage, stocked kitchen cabinets, toys, games, books, pack n' play cribs, and even a bowl filled with candy for our guests). We also offer discounted Deer Valley ski tickets, access to a U.S. Ski Team member, and we specialize in having many extras for families with children. Plus with our apartment being on the second floor, with a downhill, slopeside, corner position the location of our unit is ideal. What a treat to own this beautiful property and being able to share it with other families.

Recently we stay in Deer Valley for a week. We would describe this particular condominium as one of the most beautiful homes we have ever been to. Not only was the location beautiful with the mountains, trails, horseback riding and swimming, but this home had everything you would need for your stay. The owners have thought ahead and planned for their guests needs. Especially those with young children. Toys, videos, Wii, Xbox, strollers and just about any basic necessity that came to mind. It was a gorgeous place to relax and enjoy the Utah mountains and Park City.

What a GORGEOUS property! The Arrowleaf Resort is a beautiful site. The Unit was wonderful and it had everything needed for the perfect home away from home. The kids loved the Bunk bed room and all the rooms had a fabulous view of Deer Valley. We are excited to return to Arrowleaf Lodge annually.

We stayed in this awsome ski-in Ski-out during the first week of March 2009. This is a first class unit. Everything from the cutting edge entertainment system down to the steam showers were just awsome. Staying mid mountain is second to none. Very easy access and not having to deal with the crowds at the base is a plus. The owner(Martin) is also very pleasant to work with. We highly recomend this unit.

We had a fantastic time at your condo at Deer Valley. We typically stay in hotels when we travel so we can get a quick meal, use the pool, fitness and other activities. Also, condos can be limited and tend to be not as well maintained. I have to say that your unit is impeccable. It is new, clean and wonderfully decorated. You also have thought of every amenity from the TVs, to DVDs, appliances, books, games, towels, etc, etc. Not to mention the direct access to the mountain. It is first class. We were very pleased and impressed. We were so comfortable, it felt like we were at home, except with Deer Valley outside the door!

Every year for the past 24 years we have taken a family ski vacation and have stayed in many lovely accomodations. We rank Hering's Arrowleaf Condo as one of the best. The condo was tastefully decorated, handled a large family and provided us with a fully equiped kitchen for several gourmet, family meals. The location on Silver Buck run was ideal for skiing in for lunch. More important is the thorough and thoughtful way in which Mr. Hering helped to make our stay worry free from directing us to ski rentals delivered directly to the condo upon arrival, to a contact for child care in the condo while we had an adult evening out. When we make a return trip to Deer Valley we will definitely book a stay at Hering's Arrowleaf Condominium. -Kathi Whiteside

My stay at the condo far exceeded expectations. It was the first time to have a ski in/out condo, and it has forever spoiled me for anything but that option. The condo was immacutely kept, equipped with every convenience and luxury, and was richly appointed with fascinating artwork, western ambiance, and an enviable interior decor. The four days were not nearly long enough to enjoy the condo, the slopes, nor the surrounding area.

This was the easiest ski trip we've ever had. Your place is set up perfectly for families. Thanks also for all your suggestions. "Skis on the Run" I would recommend to anyone. We never had to leave the unit except to go out to eat. My wife was also very impressed with the floor plan, finishes and decor. Skiing is not her thing but your place made her trip enjoyable. My 3 boys also enjoyed the bunk beds and sledding after the lifts shut down. The ski locker room was also a convenient place to store equipment. Thank you for sharing this place of yours with us.

My family and I enjoyed our stay in your condo in Arrowleaf Lodge. Over the last 25 yrs I have stayed in many places on vacation. This was the nicest. Everything was as described on your website or better. My family already asked if we can return next year. Hopefully we will return. Thanks for everything.

Owner response:When we decided to purchase an Arrowleaf Lodge property our goal was to make it stand out from the rest and be one of the nicest places for guests to stay in Deer Valley. A lofty goal certainly but the feedback we are getting is that we have accomplished this. We will continue to work to make sure our residence is one that guests will want to come back to for many years to come. Thank you Sage family for your kind words and we hope you can come back again soon.

What a wonderful experience! The condo is absolutely beautiful with nothing more to wish for. We were able to ski when the unit was partially finished and didn't miss a thing! We have been skiing for over 30 years and had never experienced Deer Valley. We have spent most of our time in Vail - however - I don't know that we will ever go back! As some of the locals stated - this is Utah's best kept secret! The slopes were wonderful! Our family - which ranges from 8 years old up to 42 all had a fabulous time! Thank you for thinking about all of the little things in the condo! We will definitely be back!
