5 Unique Park City Vacation Rentals
Most travelers picture modern slopeside condos or classic ski lodges when they think of Park City vacation rentals, but there are plenty of unexpected stays here to discover. From a historic church-turned-lodge in the heart of town to sleek, design-forward pads and sprawling mountain estates, these are stays that reframe what a ski vacation can look like.
In this roundup, we’re sharing five unique places to stay in Park City that showcase the town’s personality, history, and style.
Why You’ll Love Visiting Park City, Utah
Few ski towns balance mountain adventure and cultural flair quite like Park City. It’s home to the largest ski resort in the United States, with more than 330 trails across 7,300 acres of skiable terrain. Park City Mountain has long been a favourite for Utah locals thanks to its easy access from Salt Lake City.
Bordering the ski-only Deer Valley Resort, Park City Mountain has become a mecca for snowboarders and skiers. The mountain continues to draw the attention of outdoor crowds as ski trails transform into mountain biking and hiking trails for summer and fall adventuring.
The town of Park City itself balances a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to families with a lively, rich cultural scene. Park City has hosted the Sundance Film Festival for decades, which packs the town with celebrities and film buffs every January, making lodging nearly impossible to find if you haven't booked months in advance.
With Sundance set to move to Boulder in 2027, there’s just one more festival season in Park City. That makes now an ideal time to experience the town while it still carries the buzz of Sundance, and to look forward to greater lodging availability for January and February in the years ahead.

You can easily stroll to the Town Lift, catch the complimentary town shuttle, or wander down Main Street to check out the restaurants, shops, and bars.

YotelPAD Park City brings a fresh, modern twist to slope-side lodging.

Options range from Studios to Three-Bedroom PADs, so you can go solo or roll in with a crew.

Between runs, the property makes it easy to kick back or connect with other travelers.
