This is a completely different Park City proposition, and I really like it. Instead of disappearing into a private mountain enclave, Park City Empire Avenue puts you in Old Town, where the town itself becomes part of the stay. You're close to skiing, but you're also connected to Main Street, restaurants, cafés, shops and everything that makes Park City fun after the lifts close. The fully remodeled house spreads its social spaces across several levels. There's the open kitchen and family room, a middle-level lounge with a wet bar, and another sitting/media area downstairs. Then there's the deck, which may be my favorite part: two seating areas, dining table, grill, fire pit and mountain views. Add the private hot tub and suddenly a four-bedroom Old Town house gives you a surprising number of places to spend an evening. It feels more like living in Park City than simply vacationing near it.
