Snow Shoe #5B - Rustic Family Retreat - Brian Head, UT

As far as southern Utah ski excursions go, this dog-friendly Brian Head vacation rental is a the kind of place you'll want to stay at year after year. Access to Navajo is easy peasy (a mere 50-foot walk to the slopes and the new high-speed quad lift), a wood-burning fireplace, and cozy sleeping nooks, this condo is certainly bookmark-worthy.

The open yet woody feel of the living room gives way to comfy sleeping quarters where sweet dreams are sure to be had. As you enter into the welcoming kitchen and living room space, you'll find plenty of seating, including bench by the wood-burning fireplace. In warmer months, the sliding glass door to the deck may end up being open often, letting in the fresh air. A flatscreen TV with DVD sits above the fireplace, which is a perfect setup for movie night in. WiFi access is also available.

While the kitchen is compact, it includes granite countertops and all the major appliances and tools, even barstool seating, to fix fabulous meals for your family. Up to seven guests will be accommodated in this Utah vacation lodge. The main bedroom holds a spacious king-size bed, TV with DVD, and even a private stacked washer/dryer set behind a sound-dampening closet. Up in the loft, you'll find a delightful space with a solo full-size bed and a super comfy nook with a twin-over-full bunk set. Kids or old pals will like staying up late chatting and giggling in this room. The third TV with a DVD player and VCR, as well as games and toys, is also stored here. The bathroom has a tub/shower combination for ease in helping children wash up for dinner. If you bring your dog, you could even give them a light rinse here after a day outside (just remember to encourage them to shake off behind the sliding glass door). Take your family on a relaxing, nature-filled trip to this delightful Brian Head resort and Southern Utah vacation rental!

What's nearby:
Located in a popular resort that has been in operation since 1964, this condo is in the middle of the action. In winter, you'll find the brand new high-speed quad at Navajo directly adjacent to the Snow Shoe complex. Summer invites you to stroll or hike to the scenic chair lift. Family-friendly activities like bungee trampolines, climbing walls, tubing, and hiking are available in summer as well. While there are attractions outside of the resort 20 to 70 miles away, you'll be just as happy to unplug and reconnect with nature while in Brian Head.

Just 20 miles away is Panguitch Lake where anglers may find their biggest catch. A 30-mile drive around the mountains gets you to Cedar Ridge Golf Course.
