I have a soft spot in my heart for tall, leafy green trees and I’ve definitely shared this love with my girls. They too love to visit mountain towns like I do. I am also a huge history buff so when we find a place to vacation in that has both lush green trees and historic stories to tell, I’m in heaven. We are really excited to be staying at the Montage Deer Valley as their guest and equally happy to be sharing this Park City family vacation guide with you!
This adventure started (not so) bright and early on Saturday morning. At 6:15 our plane took off from San Diego and we landed in Salt Lake City Utah at around 9 am local time. It was a quick hour and a half flight! We got into our rental car and we pulled into the Montage Deer Valley 50 minutes later. The drive to the resort was beautiful!
When we checked in they offered the girls stuffed animals and a little later the girls were surprised in our room with warm chocolate chip cookies, water and a bowl of delicious fruit!
Our suite was just that… very sweet!
It has a one bedroom and a common area room with a pull out sofa bed, full kitchen, washer and dryer, 2 walk in closets and a luxurious master bath and guest half bath.
The two balconies are my favorite part of our room!
Emmy and I sat out there and enjoyed the clean air and sounds of nature! She was entertained by her new furry friends she was gifted at check-in. Later that night we had a moose visit us. It was majestic and a real treat for us! It was right below our balcony and then meandered all over the grassy area. It was too dark for pictures but a total memory was made.
After we settled into our room we headed down to Park City.
The drive from Montage Deer Valley to Main Street takes about 10 minutes. They offer a shuttle too if you would prefer not to have to worry about driving and parking. If you do drive there is public parking on the streets and parking garages that are free to park in.
We were only there a couple hours but we managed to pack in lunch (and then dinner when we drove back down) ice cream, shopping and a little history. We even found the famous Banksy art work! It’s on an alley off Main Street.
This is a tradition for us too… Emmy falls asleep at dinner on the first night of everywhere we vacation. I have pictures of her in Turks & Caicos, Las Vegas, Ohio, Florida and more of her passed out at the table. Normally when she gets tired she asks if we can go back to our room to sleep… but on these nights she will be eating and talking one moment and then the next completely asleep!
As soon as we got back to the hotel she rebounded and we had s’mores. Each night from 8-9 pm they have a s’more buffet with homemade marshmallows and all the fixings to make your own! They also have hot chocolate for you to enjoy. (I blurred this photo as I do not know the other guests and I value privacy).
I can’t get enough of these views! Pete, Ash and Emmy are off on a hike right now. There are a bunch of different trails accessible from the hotel and when they get back we are going to discover more fun things to do… zip-lining, a roller coaster, a haunted ghost tour and some nature walks are all in the plans for today!
It sounds like you had a nice little getaway! What a fun vacation.
I definitely cannot stay at that hotel if we ever get out to Utah. I’d never leave the room!
I was thinking that myself. Look at that stove! I wish I had a stove like that in my kitchen!
Looks like an amazing hotel! I love that you got to see artwork by Banksy!
That does sound like a really nice place! The rooms look amazing and I love that they have a s’more buffet!
What an amazing and comfy place to stay! I heard the views in Utah are breathtaking!
Such a beautiful place! Everything looks so elegant and nice, I want to go there. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
It looks like a great place to spend a family vacation. We enjoy hanging out, swimming, and just seeing the sights when we vacation.
Isn’t that the truth? Sometimes my favorite part of vacations are just relaxing.
Holy smokes that hotel room is quite deluxe, looks so homey too! I love the leather couches, and what seems like a beauty view from the balcony!
What an amazing time! I would love to check out this place myself. I wanted to stop a few places when we were driving through Utah this summer! Great hotel too!
Those views are stunning!! Definitely observing nature is one of my favourite parts! That hotel looked so luxurious too!
I love that there are 2 balconies! I have heard great things about Park City!
That is an awesome destination. Love all the little perks they had for you.
Looks like a great place to visit. I have not been yet.
I would certainly like to go one day. It looks so much fun!
What an amazing hotel that looks like! Vacations are so much fun, we just finished ours this past weekend and we had a blast. We stayed at home and relaxed though. We needed it! 🙂
Wow! That room is amazing! I would love to take a visit sometime. It looks very family friendly.
I’m from UT and LOVE park city! What a fun getaway!
We had family that lived in Park City so we were able to see some of the sights. I’d love to go back and check out more of the town. There’s so much fun to be had!
This looks like an amazing place to stay. I love your suite. It has an amazing kitchen. I love to spoil myself at the spa when i go away.
Looks like a ton of fun. What a beautiful place to stay too.
Look at those view! WOW just beautiful! Looks like a great place to stay too. 🙂
I love when a hotel has full accommodations! Looks like there’s some amazing views there!
I’d need a week or so vacationing in Utah. With hotel room like that, I would probably be indulging myself in much needed rest for 4 days and then visit the sights and scenery for 3 days!
Ah! One of my most favorite places on earth! We hit up Cows ice cream every time we are there!
Oh wow, my girls would be so thrilled with the S’mores buffet. The hotel, the places you have been and the S’mores buffet makes me want to pack and bring the whole family to Utah.
That kitchen is awesome! I always love when the suite has a washer and dryer, too. Looks like a lovely place to vacation.
This sounds like such a fun place to get away and make family memories in the process! Since you asked, I like to just sit, relax, unwind and disconnect when I am on vacation!
Wow. Look at this place! I would love to stay here. I’m afraid I wouldn’t ever leave!
What a fantastic vacation and resort! I love that area and your suite looks so beautiful. I love the stuffed animals. That a great touch.
I always love looking at your daughter’s pictures, they seem so happy and their smiles are contagious. What a lovely place.
That bed looks so comfy. I don’t mind getting into it now. 😛 I need a getaway too! Work has been stressing me.
This hotel looks absolutely beautiful. What a great check-in experience! I love that you have pictures of your daughter asleep on various vacations at the table. What a great thing to have when she gets older!
I’ve seen photos of Park City, Utah and seen it on TV too and it definitely has gorgeous views. Bet your family had a wonderful vacay. Would love to go there someday.
That hotel looks amazing!! Looks like y’all had a great trip!
Oh mylanta! That hotel is amazing, I would love to stay there if I venture out to Utah!
My daughter would have flipped over that Bansky find. She chose him for a major report last year. She’s a real fan!
Wow, that place looked really amazing! I bet my kids would love to visit there too!
Any place that offers warm chocolate chip cookies is A-Ok in my book. YUM! And wow, that room is super gorgeous. I can’t believe its a hotel room. Its very trendy condo looking.
What a beautiful room! From the looks and sounds of it, ya’ll really had a nice vacation time away! If we’re ever around those parts, it’d be nice to check some of those spots out.
This place looks awesome. I have not been to Utah and would love to go. That is so cool that you got to see moose.
The smores bar sounds amazing too.
That sounds like an aweomse place to visit! Looks like everyone had a lot of fun on your trip!
Once again, this is such a beautiful place. I love that they have a bonfire too.
WOW!! Must go there now!! So beautiful!
I am so happy you had such a nice time at the Montage. We live close to there and it is one of our favorite places to suggest to our out of town friends looking for a nice place to get away for a few days.
We agree that the homemade marshmallow s’mores are a must!
Oh my goodness what a lovely place and awesome accommodations. I want to visit soon =)
Oh my gosh that looks so relaxing!! I love being outdoors this looks like the perfect place to visit and relax at!
Seeing people post things like this on their blogs makes me wish I could afford to just take the kids on a tour of the entire country during the summer! There are so many places I want to go now. Looks like I need to add Park City to the list!
What a lovely room! I love the brown colors. It’s terrific that they offered stuffed animals, I like that they wanted the kids to enjoy it there.
I want to go and stay at this resort. It sounds amazing. The weather looks perfect too.
I have never been to Utah, looks like a great place to visit and I will definitely have to check out Montage Deer Valley while I’m there!
