Sundance Mountain Resort

$$$$ | 8841 N. Alpine Loop Rd., Sundance, UT, 84604, USA Fodor's Choice
Sundance Resort, Sundance Resort
Sundance Resort

With 11,750-foot Mount Timpanogos serving as a backdrop, Robert Redford's resort is tucked into a 5,000-acre swath of lush wilderness and is a genuine tribute to arts and the natural world. Choose from luxurious mountain rooms, suites, and fire-warmed homes along the mountainside next to the creek. Whatever the season, there is ample opportunity here for a personal renaissance. Ski 450 acres of Utah-powder-filled terrain, or ride the summer zip line. Take a watercolor class, hike the wildflower-strewn trail to Stewart Falls, watch a Sundance Film Festival flick, relish the Tree Room's farm chicken (and Redford's personal collection of Native American art), and belly up to the Owl Bar for a beer. Catch some repose at a slope-side symphony, settle down in a rocker beside the gentle stream, or wind your way through pines and aspens to your cottage, mountain home, or The Spa.

Pros

  • Retreat from urban hubbub
  • Glorious scenery
  • Culinary magic

Cons

  • Cell reception is spotty
  • Long drive to other restaurants and nightlife
  • Limited ski terrain compared to other Utah resorts

Built right up next to the red-rock cliffs, this boutique hotel makes you feel like you're in the wilderness, even though you're on the edge of town and surrounded by luxurious amenities. The exterior was inspired by the cliff dwellings built by the Ancestral Puebloans thousands of years ago, and the rooms are similarly earthy with textures and finishes reminiscent of the surrounding desert. Each room also features a private patio and art showcasing the local beauty, and well as other nice touches, from the large showers to refrigerators with freezers. The HozHo spa offers a full range of services.

The gorgeous contemporary design, charming small-town location, hip coffeehouse, welcoming hosts, and light-filled sitting areas are—amazingly—not even the coolest things about this stylish boutique inn: that honor belongs to the silo-shape Huntsville Astronomic and Lunar Observatory, which adjoins the inn and offers unforgettable viewing experiences of the cosmos.

Red Canyon Lodge

$$ | 2450 W. Red Canyon Lodge, Dutch John, UT, 84023, USA Fodor's Choice

A pleasant surprise in the woods, this lodge is surrounded by well-built, handcrafted log cabins with kitchenettes (some with wood-burning stoves) that face a private trout-stocked lake. The great restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from April to September; dinner might include buffalo, elk medallions, or wild trout with pasta. The lodge provides recreation services like boat and standup paddleboard rentals for the lake, bike and snowshoe rentals for the land, and horseback riding in the summer. Kids will enjoy their own private fishing pond. It's a pleasant spot for bird-watching, too.

Pros

  • Cabins are comfortable for families or groups (up to six people per cabin)
  • Excellent restaurant

Cons

  • Must book a year in advance for summer months
  • Wi-Fi only in restaurant
  • No air-conditioning

The Riter Mansion

$$ | 168 N. 100 E, Logan, UT, 84321, USA Fodor's Choice

In a quiet residential area just a short walk from Main Street, this beautifully restored Greek Revival–Georgian mansion is perfect for a romantic getaway or as a cozy retreat, its suites warmly decorated and outfitted with whirlpool baths and, in many cases, fireplaces. The home has hosted famous actors, authors, and political leaders over the years. The expansive front porch with stately columns and views of Logan is a favorite with visitors, as are the home-cooked gourmet breakfasts, with apple pancakes a particular crowd pleaser.

Pros

  • Surrounded by fragrant gardens and mature shade trees
  • Within walking distance of downtown
  • Fantastic breakfasts

Cons

  • Sometimes booked for weddings and events
  • Not a good option for kids
  • Antique-y aesthetic may not please modernists
