Experience Deer Valley in vacation home rentals
If Deer Valley was a movie character, it would be Tony Stark crossed with James Bond. Sleek, a little bit showy, but effortlessly cool, this upscale ski resort is the kind of place that provides fine dining, childcare, ski valet, and private shuttle services. If you want it, chances are they've already thought of it. In fact, it's so exclusive that even snowboarders have to skid over to the neighboring resorts. Park City, just down the hill, has the galleries and entertainment you'd expect of a sporty alpine city, but Deer Valley can be a difficult place to tear yourself away from.
Tourist attractions near Deer Valley vacation homes
Nearby Park City is a good-looking alpine city with an easy-going, arty vibe. It's stacked to its snow-dusted rafters with art and photography galleries, and the city hosts a hectic program of film festivals, popular and classical music concerts, and theater. And on the off chance you're not suffering winter sports overload, the Utah Olympic Park is worth a snoop around too. It was built for the 2002 Winter Olympics, and as well as featuring training facilities for various winter sports disciplines, it's also got a couple of museums tucked away in there too.

Water activities including paddle boarding and fly fishing also feature, and of course you'll never be short of fancy boutiques to flex the credit card.
Natural features
Wasatch? Wassat? The mighty mountains of Utah, that's what
Set in the Wasatch range, Deer Valley is set high up on the mountainside above Park City. It's only about 40 miles east of Salt Lake City, but the 2 are separated by a thick band of rugged mountains and forests. To the south of Deer Valley is Wasatch Mountain State Park. It's one of the busiest state parks in Utah, but with nearly 22,000 acres, there's still plenty of space for the wildlife to roam. Keep your eyes peeled for moose, elk, and wild turkey, along with a handful of alpine wildflowers that don't grow anywhere else.
