Slopeside living where Park City's silver mountains meet home

Abode at Empire Lodge

10 Guests

3 Bedrooms

3 Bathrooms

The lift is close enough that you can watch skiers carve their final turns from your living room. Abode at Empire Lodge sits within the Empire Lodge building at Deer Valley Resort, a residence that places you directly on the mountain with the kind of access most ski accommodations only approximate. This is not a hotel room repurposed for winter. It is a fully appointed private home designed around the rhythms of a ski trip done right, where mornings begin with gear already waiting and evenings unfold with nowhere else you need to be.

The residences themselves are built for groups and families who want genuine space after a day on the mountain. Expect open living areas with stone fireplaces, full kitchens outfitted for real cooking, and multiple bedrooms that give everyone room to spread out. The interiors carry a mountain lodge warmth, with wood-paneled walls, comfortable furnishings, and large windows that frame the surrounding peaks. Heated underground parking, a private ski locker, and dedicated concierge service from the Abode team round out the practical details. The ski-in, ski-out access at Deer Valley is the defining feature here, eliminating the shuttle buses and parking lots that fragment so many mountain mornings.

Deer Valley itself needs little introduction. The resort is known for its meticulously groomed runs, limited daily skier capacity, and a level of on-mountain dining that sets it apart from nearly every resort in North America. Beyond the slopes, Park City's historic Main Street is a short drive away, offering a concentrated stretch of galleries, restaurants, and shops that maintain the character of the town's silver mining heritage. The Sundance Film Festival transforms the area each January, and the surrounding Wasatch Range provides year-round access to hiking, mountain biking, and fly fishing when the snow melts.

What Abode at Empire Lodge offers is the rare combination of true slopeside positioning and the privacy of a residential home. You cook when you want to cook. You gather around the fireplace without sharing the lobby with strangers. You step outside and you are already on the mountain. The days here take on a satisfying simplicity, shaped by the snow, the altitude, and the unhurried pleasure of returning to a warm, well-made home that happens to sit exactly where you want to be.

What we love about this stay

What strikes you first is the scale of it — soaring ceilings and those wide windows pulling the mountain landscape right into the living space, blurring the line between shelter and scenery. It feels like a home that was designed around the view rather than decorated to impress, though the effect is undeniably striking. The open living area has a warmth that invites lingering, the kind of room where après-ski conversations stretch past dinner without anyone noticing the hour. There's a thoughtfulness in the details — the spa-inspired soaking tub in the master suite, the private balcony framing snow-capped peaks — that suggests someone cared about how each moment would feel, not just how it would look. It's a property that suits a group or family who wants proximity to Park City's slopes without sacrificing the quiet intimacy of a real retreat.
