A Mountain Cabin Vacation for Everyone We are dog people and the thought of leaving the furry family member behind at a kennel or with a neighbor is heartbreaking! Many of our cabins in Sundance are pet friendly and our experience has been the 4 legged guests have the best time and are sometimes better behaved than their owners. Dogs love the mountains. There’s endless opportunity for hiking, snowshoeing, and...

From Snowmobiling to Tubing Our winter activities go well beyond the traditional ski vacation. Utah does have the greatest snow on earth and you don’t have to be passionate about skiing and snowboarding to experience it.

Diversify your Sundance winter vacation by exploring all the other...

There are too many reasons to list why we prefer living in Sundance over any other place. The proximity to an international airport, the ease of getting in and out of the area year round, the 4 distinct seasons, clean air, one of the...

Utah Autumns We are a bit spoiled in Utah with our maples and oaks turning first, typically early to mid September and the Quaky Aspens turning last the first to mid part of October. If you time it right you get the full spectrum of colors ranging from the grey earthy granite cliffs of Timpanogos, deep forest greens of the pines, red and orange of maple and oak  along with...
