Why we love it: Pickleball courts, hot tub, large outdoor deck, ski boot and glove dryers, kids game room

This large property is just a 40-minute drive to the legendary Cottonwood Canyons Ski Resorts, and is built with skiers in mind.

In summer, head outdoors for pickleball or basketball on the on-site courts—the game-filled playroom will keep little ones entertained when grown-ups need a break. Past guests give it a rare perfect five-star rating, and reviews rave about the friendly, accommodating hosts. Bonus for pet owners: this dog-friendly home is happy to welcome well-behaved pups.

Unwind in the year-round heated pool, lounge in the 15-person hot tub, then play a game on four private pickleball courts or a basketball court.
