The house
Sundance Mountain ResortArtisanal alpine sanctuary
A footbridge connects two timber-and-stone wings over North Fork Creek, leading guests straight from the ski lift to a fireside living room.
“Reclaimed timber flooring and rustic ceiling beams are offset by brighter vintage-inspired details, from 1980s pop art to patterned window daybeds.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Low-slung wings span North Fork Creek, featuring reclaimed timber, custom oak furniture, and stained-glass fireplace details.

A 5,000-acre alpine playground offering ski-in access, summit dining, art studios, and miles of mountain trails.
Remarkable
Resident glassblowers craft restaurant tableware on site alongside guest pottery workshops and silversmithing classes.
What they say
Also in Michelin, Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveler.
It’s part eco-lodge, part artists’ community, which is not just ethically correct but also quite aesthetically satisfying; the lofts and suites are understated, with a certain hand-crafted quality
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Miles of alpine trails and the Provo River frame the property, where working glassblowers and pottery studios anchor the mountain base.
The rooms
Daybeds sit framed against canyon windows, with distressed timber walls, custom oak furniture, and Rivolta linens tailored for quiet mountain rest.
The pool and yoga
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated soaking pools and a cedar sauna face Mount Timpanogos. Morning yoga classes meet on the open timber deck.
The spa
Rustic cedar cabins house the spa treatment rooms, hosting botanical facials and singing bowl sound healing.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Tables in The Tree Room surround a living pine tree, and The Owl Bar pours drinks over a restored 1890s counter.
Wood-planked walls and floors, woolen blankets, stone-clad fireplaces and exposed beams give spaces around the property a comfortable mountain lodge feel.
How it began
Robert Redford bought two acres in Provo Canyon in 1961, building an arts and ski enclave guided by conservation over development.
