Empire Villa

Stayed March 32 to March 31 2019,

We loved this house and enjoyed every minute of our visit.

We hired a car service to bring us from the airport to the Villa ($120.00) Kristaufs Transportation 801-280-0633. They stopped at the liquor store and Fresh Market on the way. We did not need a car the entire week.

Here is what we liked about the Villa;

Had our own private hot tub on the back patio.

The master bedroom was on the top floor with a fireplace, completely private from the rest of the house with a secure lock on the door.

The steam shower acts like a sauna (amazing after a day of skiing)

The ice maker was not keeping up until i found a high output button on the Sub Zero, then we had more ice then we knew what to do with.

Six burner stove was great at breakfast time to feed the masses.

Every pot and pan you could ever use plus knives sharper then we have at home.
The floors are heated and the reclaimed pine wood is extremely comfortable.

Washer and dryer on first floor and fourth floor was nice.

Almost every light had a dimmer which made for great evening atmosphere.

There was no TV on the main floor which turned into a blessing. We all hung out together playing cards in front of the fireplace. While cooking we had everybody's attention and had meaningful conversations. I intentionally unplugged the internet and told the kids it was broken.

Coming from Florida we like our humidity. I found these amazing steam makers in every bedroom. I turned them up to full blast and every morning each room had a cloud of mist. Between the steam things and the steam shower we had zero nose bleeds on this trip.

the 300 yard walk to the chair lift was a good way to get the blood pumping in the morning and was fun walking home to reflect on the days events while still fresh in our minds.

The five minute walk down hill to downtown where we found amazing food, bars and shops.

The free bus rides had us all over in minutes. We used the buses to get more groceries at Fresh Market

The 10 minute walk to Utah village was convenient to pick up our rentals and get the kids to ski school. Get your rentals the night before your first day of skiing. Next time we will use one of the rental services that delivers to the door of the Villa.

Last but not least was the squirrel jumping around in the trees, we would leave out cereal and it would be gone in a few hours.

We have already reserved our week for next year and cannot wait to get back. year - Ken R.
