Adventurer’s Paradise: Suite Retreat

Step into your own mountain scene—a warm cabin in Utah’s highest mountain town and resort. The winter-themed cabin allows you to enjoy wildlife scenes and sounds during the day and find yourself gazing at striking views of a nearly unfiltered sky at night. For those in town to enjoy Brian Head Resort’s rich events and offerings during both summer and winter seasons, the main hub is located conveniently just minutes away. Your space in Adventurer’s Paradise is the finished basement of a three-story home perfect for those who love adventurering. Your area has one large master bedroom, a room featuring two built-in bunk beds (one set is a twin and the other is a double), a bathroom, and a living space. You will have your own microwave and refrigerator as well as a coffee/tea/hot chocolate cart. You are also welcome to use the full kitchen upstairs in the main house. It is filled with immaculate appliances, a granite-wrapped workspace, and every utensil you could want to cook a stellar meal. This main house kitchen is shared with your host. Cook a delicious feast post-ride or post-skiing in the fully-stocked shared kitchen, grill local beef on the deck barbeque overlooking the ski area, or roast hotdogs while sitting on railroad ties surrounding open flames in the large firepit.* Afterward, cozy up to read by the home's indoor wood-fed stove, play games or complete puzzles from a wide selection of options, watch action or childrens’ movies on the large TV, FaceTime with friends via Starlink’s broadband WiFi, or have friends join you for s’mores by the campfire. The property offers sweeping views of the ski area and surrounding mountains, a fire pit, and access to a large shared deck replete with chipmunks playing and Stellar jays hopping along the banister in the summer, a propane grill available year-round, and a chairlift swing for sipping morning hot chocolate or afternoon cocktails. From the front door, you walk onto ATV and snowmobile trails used by local outfitters to entertain guests. These lead to meadows, national forest land, and spectacular views of Cedar Breaks National Monument. Prefer self-propelled adventure? Mountain bike, hike, snowshoe, or cross-country ski on those same paths. *State restrictions permitting. For those who love playing outdoors, Adventurer’s Paradise is just for you. Nature lovers will appreciate what the region has to offer year-round. In the winter, guests often spend their days and evenings skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and skating at the Resort. In the spring, summer, and early fall, the Resort’s bike park takes centerstage—a lift-served single track as well as gravity-fed and backcountry trails spanning options for beginner to advanced riders. At times, there are live bands, climbing walls, food trucks, and more to celebrate special events For those not wanting to take advantage of the Resort’s offerings, there are many other activities. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing as well as snowmobiling happen right from the front door in snowy months. Hiking and ATV’ing also just require guests walk out the front door. For fishing, there are several nearby stocked alpine lakes; and, streams flow lazily for fly fishing. Kayaking and paddleboarding are also welcome lake distractions. Visiting national monuments and parks can occur as close as 15 minutes away, but those willing to drive farther can reach Zion, Canyonlands, Escalante, Arches, Bryce, and Capitol Reef in just a few hours. Or, perhaps you prefer hiking through water and climbing waterfalls like in Kanarraville Canyon. For road cyclists, face the challenge of climbing intense hills at over 10,000’ or following the Ride the Gap century course. Want to see dinosaur tracks and archeological artifacts? Visit the Parowan Gap. While out-and-about, be sure to visit local farms for fresh eggs and visit the local butcher after seeing their cows graze less than a mile from your retreat in the region of Dry Lakes. And photographers? You won’t want to miss aspens changing their colors in the fall, hummingbirds on the deck, and deer with fawns foraging at dawn and dusk. Maybe close-ups of wildflowers will provide the perfect opportunity to capture that exquisite photo you’ve been seeking or a rare glimpse of a fox will make it into your lens. Don’t forget the action photos of sports fanatics performing daring skiing and bike moves or snowmobilers jumping through fresh powder. Christy loves baking for others so please enjoy breakfast daily in the ground floor kitchen between 7:30 and 9:00 AM MST. Just let her know when during that timeframe that is best for you and if you have any allergies or special diets. Don’t be surprised to find freshly baked cookies during at least one afternoon during your stay.
