Slopeside living at the foot of Park City Mountain

Abode at Empire Residence | Ski In Ski Out

6 Guests

2 Bedrooms

2 Bathrooms

The doors open and the mountain is right there. Not a view of it, not a short walk to it, but the immediate, snow-covered reality of Park City Mountain Resort just steps from your threshold. Abode at Empire Residence offers a rare form of ski lodging where the boundary between home and mountain all but disappears. These are fully appointed residences positioned for true ski-in, ski-out access, designed for travelers who want the autonomy of a private home without sacrificing proximity to the lifts.

The residences themselves are built for groups and families who intend to stay a while. Spacious layouts accommodate larger parties comfortably, with full kitchens for morning coffee before first tracks and late-night meals after long days on the hill. Living areas are generous enough to gather without crowding, and bedrooms are configured to give everyone room to decompress. The interiors carry the kind of mountain warmth that feels earned rather than staged, with finishes and furnishings that reflect the rugged sophistication Park City has cultivated over decades. Managed by Abode, each residence is maintained to a consistent standard of quality, with dedicated concierge services, pre-arrival grocery stocking, and local recommendations that come from genuine familiarity with the area rather than a printed guide.

Park City itself has evolved well beyond its mining-town origins into one of North America's most compelling mountain destinations. The town's Historic Main Street sits a short distance away, lined with independent restaurants, galleries, and shops that reward an afternoon of wandering. In winter, the mountain offers over 7,300 acres of skiable terrain across interconnected resorts. In summer, those same slopes give way to hiking and mountain biking trails, while the cultural calendar fills with festivals and events that draw visitors year-round. The Abode team serves as a thoughtful bridge between the residence and this broader landscape, arranging everything from lift tickets and equipment rentals to dinner reservations and in-home chef experiences.

What distinguishes a stay at Abode at Empire Residence is the particular rhythm it encourages. There is no lobby to pass through, no check-in desk, no shared hallways buzzing with other guests. You wake in a home that happens to sit at the base of a world-class mountain, clip into your boots by the door, and ski directly onto the slopes. The return is just as seamless. It is a way of experiencing Park City that feels both intimate and expansive, where the mountain becomes less of a destination and more of a daily companion.

What we love about this stay

There's a particular quietness to this place that has nothing to do with silence — it's the feeling of being held by a mountain. The stone fireplace anchoring the great room sets a tone that's more alpine lodge than luxury rental, and the expansive windows don't just frame the view, they make it part of the furniture. What distinguishes this Deer Valley residence is how seamlessly it dissolves the boundary between effort and ease: ski-in/ski-out access to the Silver Strike Express means the mountain is essentially your front yard, and returning to a well-equipped kitchen and genuinely comfortable rooms feels earned rather than indulgent. It's a property that suits people who want their days full and their evenings unhurried — the kind of stay where the fireplace does most of the talking.
