ABOUT THIS SPACE
Two full floors let 16+ guests coexist without crowding. The main floor opens into a vaulted great room — wood-burning fireplace, 65-inch HDTV with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon, and Apple TV, a deep sectional sofa, and a wall of windows framing Mount Timpanogos. The full kitchen has GE stainless steel appliances, double oven, granite counters, full-size dishwasher, blender, coffee maker, wine glasses, and every utensil a group cook needs. A second full-size refrigerator in the garage holds overflow beverages and groceries. The dining table seats 8 and extends with folding tables stored downstairs for full-group meals — everyone at one table. In-unit washer and dryer on the main floor handle ski gear and wet base layers overnight.
Upstairs: master suite with California King, private ensuite with large jetted soaking tub, panoramic mountain views, and walk-in closet. Second upstairs bedroom has a King. Mountain-themed bunk room sleeps 7 — full-over-full bunk plus twin-over-twin bunk with pull-out trundle. Shared full bath serves bedrooms 2 and 3.
Lower level: two queen bedrooms with large windows and natural light. Second living area with kitchenette and 60-inch smart TV — the kids' zone or a quiet retreat. Mudroom entry from the two-car garage keeps the main level clean during snowy arrivals.
Outside: wraparound covered deck with a Timpanogos panorama, private 7-person hot tub available 24 hours year-round, large grassy backyard, and an in-home sauna for post-hike recovery. Kayaks and paddleboards included for Deer Creek Reservoir days. Children's bikes stored on-site.
Family extras: crib, pack-n-play, baby gates, monitor, booster seat, children's dinnerware, age-specific toys (0-2, 2-5, 5-10), and board games. Snow removal service keeps the driveway clear after overnight snowfall.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Multi-generational family reunions: Two living levels give generations their own territory while sharing the kitchen and deck. The bunk room handles the grandchildren; the master suite handles the grandparents. Guests consistently say: "Everyone had space to spread out." "A Thanksgiving get-together with grandkids — everyone loved it."
Ski trip groups of 10-16: Deer Valley and Sundance under 20 min, Park City 30 min. The mudroom and garage handle wet gear. The washer and dryer handle base layers. The hot tub and jetted soaking tub handle sore muscles at the end of the day.
Multi-family groups (2-3 families): Two distinct floors give each family natural territory while sharing the main kitchen. Parking for 4 vehicles. Second refrigerator handles separate grocery runs.
Parents with young children: One of the most complete family setups available — crib, pack-n-play, baby gates, monitor, booster seat, children's dinnerware, age-specific toys, children's bikes, and board games all included.
