I am honored to have the privilege to host my own family at Casa Nova for Thanksgiving, and we are all having the most magical time!   We have 17 people, and we are as cozy as can be. With comfortable and luxurious space to gather as a group, as well as six separate “live, love, laugh” rooms to find solitude, Casa Nova truly is the perfect home to gather with friends and loved ones to celebrate all that we are thankful for.

From home movies in our THX certified theater, to pool tournaments in the family room.  From spa days and brisk walks to everyone helping in the theater kitchen.  From snow ball fights and snow men to cozy fires and board games, this is a Thanksgiving that none of us will soon forget and will be impossible to top!

It’s early October and winter has already made an appearance.   The change of seasons is always a wonder: The crispness in the air, the crackle of the fire and gloves on our hands all help to signal the change.

Hiking through snow mixed with autumn leaves lying on the trails of Deer Valley, is an invigorating experience. Hopping on those trails right out the back door of Casa Nova is phenomenal.    

Soon these slopes will be covered in white and skiing will begin.  I can’t wait to stroll out the back door, click on my skis and slide down the slopes of the # 1 ski resort in North America – the coveted distinction earned by Deer Valley, for the third year in a row.

The leaves have turned and fall is in full force in Park City and at Casa Nova.  It’s time to light one of our 11 fireplaces, hop into one of two hot tubs and sip gourmet hot chocolate, a hot toddie or mulled wine! 

Autumn is a beautiful time to be in the mountains.  The weather is mild, the scenery spectacular and the promise of winter lingers, ready to blanket the landscape in glorious white!  (you know what that means!)

Come wrap yourself in the rustic elegance of Casa Nova, Deer Valley’s premier luxury chalet.

The view from the terrace at Casa Nova, Deer Valley’s luxury vacation villa, is always amazing.  Yesterday, it was spectacular.  As the predicted cold front moved in, the elements mingled in concert producing a breathtaking display of color and light.  Complete double rainbows arched the sky framing the Jordanelle Reservoir and the Uinta Mountains as if a painter’s stroke placed them there intentionally.   The sun broke through the rain to illuminate these magnificent spectrums of color making them as vibrant as we have ever seen, and seemingly close enough to touch.

Just a five minute drive from Casa Nova and Deer Valley Resort, sits the beautiful Jordanelle State Park and Reservoir.  Jordanelle State park offers an array of recreational opportunities including camping, picnicking, fishing, boating, water sports, swimming hiking and mountain biking. Interpretive programs and walks are held periodically.

We took out a pontoon boat yesterday afternoon and dined al fresco anchored in a private cove while watching skiers, wake boarders, tubers and fisherman enjoy every part of the lake and the fabulous August mountain weather.

Many days we gaze at the lake from our terrace at Casa Nova, but yesterday, we decided to enjoy a day on the water, and literally within minutes we were in the middle of the lake enjoying the breeze, the company and the scenery.   Casa Nova is the ultimate luxury vacation villa in Deer Valley and besides being so close to these water activities, it is ski in and ski out to the number one ski resort in North America.

Come experience Casa Nova in both summer and winter, and enjoy all that this amazing home and spectacular area have to offer.

Being able to hop on a trail right outside the back door of Casa Nova is phenomenal.  Casa Nova is the amazing luxury 13,000 sq foot, 7 bedroom vacation villa I manage in Deer Crest.  We do high-end weekly rentals and offer services unlike any other home in the area.

Hiking in one of the most beautiful places in Utah is spectacular.  Deer Valley Resort offers epic skiing opportunities in the winter, but in the summer the mountain becomes home to outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. You will find them on foot or on wheels, but mostly on cloud nine! 

From Casa Nova’s private ski run, trails take you to the base of the mountain and Snow Park Lodge, or up to Silver Lake Village and any peak or vista you prefer.

Even though we are approaching mid August, everything is still green, wild flowers abound, and wild life can be heard if not seen rustling through the undergrowth.  The thing to look out for when hiking is the large number of mountain bikers whisking down the trails. They have the right of way on the mountain.

Dropping in to Silver Lake Village is a treat.  Having lunch at Royal Street or on the deck at Stein Erikesn’s Lodge is fabulous after your hike. From there you can continue up words on foot or by lift, you can hike home, or take the lift down and work out alternate transportation from Snow Park Lodge.

See you on the trails!

The first weekend in August signals a tradition of creative imagination and community participation for the town of Park City, UT and one of the biggest events of the summer. I spent the weekend strolling up and down Main Street perusing and purchasing some of the eclectic art displayed as I became immersed in all that this year’s festival had to offer. Over 200 artists came from far and near to sell their wares to the Park City and Utah residents, in fact, many artists have been making this trek for 40 years. The crowd is as eclectic as the art displayed; locals and ski bums, tourists and affluent gather to share in the experience of a small town street fare. With its kaleidoscope of color, shape, light and texture accompanied in concert by laughter, music, commerce and barter, there is something for everyone. Phenomenal art for sale and on display, world class food from street vendors and in our restaurants, kids only areas, street performers and musicians, good old fashioned people watching and outdoor concerts at Deer Valley, Utah’s luxury Ski Resort. I can’t wait for next year!

Come and stay at Casa Nova, and experience luxury accommodations and this fantastic event next summer.
