Skiers seeking a new way to reconnect over the President’s Week holiday may find their answer with a private lodge – an option now possible thanks to the availability of uber-chalets with the comforts of a private home and the amenities of a hotel. Guests staying at these 6-suite residences enjoy concierge service, daily housekeeping and complimentary shuttle service — not to mention entertaining common spaces such as theaters, pool tables and even fire pits. Rather than reserving multiple hotel rooms or bunking up in the tight quarters of a condo, families or groups of friends traveling together can enjoy each other’s company without stepping on toes. This President’s Week, consider one of these private lodges in Park City, Utah:
Alpine Sanctuary at Canyons Resort
This 6-bedroom ski lodge sits in a gated community at Canyons Resort with prime ski-in/ski-out access directly out the back door. Guests enjoy a slope-side hot tub with stunning mountain views, library, den and stadium-seat theater with leather recliners. Gandhara at Deer Valley Resort
This palatial 6-suite private lodge sits on the Jordanelle Run at Deer Valley Resort in the gated Deer Crest community.

Paintbrush Home at Deer Valley Resort
