We just got back from another wonderful week in Deer Valley. The skiing was superb as usual and this was our fifth time to stay at Trails End over the last several years. There are several reasons why we keep coming back to Trails End Lodge. First of all it's the location. You are right next door to Snow Park Lodge and at the base of the mountains and the lifts. It does not get anymore ski in-out than this. Second, the units are all nice. They are well maintained, spacious, inviting decor, complete with everything you need including your own private hot tub which is maintained every single day and fresh stack of wood for your wood burning fireplace. Third, the hot breakfast and apres-ski dining that is provided every morning and afternoon is top notch and an invaluable amenity that is much appreciated. You won't believe how much more you can relax on your vacation when you aren't constantly thinking of what to feed the family, where to get food, prepare food, etc. This alone is worth ALOT in my opinion. Finally, I cannot say enough good things about the people that operate this establishment. The general manager Mark - friendly, professional and runs this place like it should be run and that is CONSISTENT over the years. Adrian - she went above and beyond on our stay, always present, always helpful.. even bringing up cold medicine for my husband when he wasn't feeling well. Pepito - he's the best, always cheerful and helpful. Just his presence over the years makes this place feel like home for us, always glad to see his familiar face here each time we come. But really, every single employee and I am sorry I don't know everyone's names, the maintenance people, the servers and cooks in the Aspen room... all are wonderfully pleasant, with professional attitudes, and always accommodating and helpful, you can tell they take pride in what they do. For us it is the people that operate and maintain Trails End Lodge that makes this place the lodging that we choose over and over again. Last things I want to mention.. the new fitness center is incredible. I used it every day during our trip. The equipment is amazing, the place is clean and bright and inviting. Once again here is another area where they thought of everything... Bravo and well done guys! The big fire pit and s'more kits for the kids.. FUN! The coffee machines in the lobby areas... great tasting coffees and selections and super convenient. The ride app for guests that is available during your stay... again this is invaluable in my opinion. Professional, friendly drivers, luxurious and clean vehicles, prompt and convenient service. Thanks for the memories Trails End and...
Read moreWe just returned from a long weekend ski trip to Deer Valley with our 14 year old. We stayed in unit 204. The unit itself was incredibly dated, the fireplace didn't work, and the TV was about 20" and positioned in a large, dated credenza however there were so many other positives that made those things easier to overlook. Great ski in/ski out location and very friendly staff. We arrived late on a Thursday night from the east coast (private car service arranged by Trail's End). Check-in was quick and seamless, lift tickets had been printed for us, and the sleeper sofa was made up and ready for my teenager. There was a nice basket of "free" snacks in the unit (granted we had paid to stay there, but we didn't feel "nickeled and dimed" by having to pay a few more dollars for snacks). The one night that we went out to dinner we returned to cookies and ice cream in our unit. What a nice surprise! The included breakfast buffet was more than adequate and to-go containers were provided so we could eat back in our unit. The on-call free shuttle service was great, they set up Skis on the Run to deliver our skis early the next morning and they took our skis in/out every day. The unit had a boot dryer (KEY) and and washer and dryer (ALSO KEY) and I didn't need the detergent that I had packed because they provided that and dryer sheets everyday. Definitely makes packing easier when you can run a quick load of laundry each night to wash ski base layers. The included Apres Ski every afternoon was an added benefit with beer, wine and lots of hot and cold food (enough for a meal if you wanted to eat at 3:30pm). The private hot tub on the porch was nice although if you have other neighbors in their hot tubs at the same time you will see and hear them. We would definitely stay here again. Apparently there is a major construction project starting at Snow Park in April 2022. We generally like staying at Snow Park due to its close proximity to Main Street and would stay here again but would suggest updating some of the units and checking on construction...
Read moreMy wife and I, along with our two college-student kids, just returned from a five-night stay at Trail’s End Lodge in Deer Valley, and we all loved it. This ski-in-ski-out property is conveniently (and ideally) located only about one hundred yards from the Snow Park Lodge, with it’s restaurants and shops, and is even closer to the Carpenter Express and Silver Lake Express ski lifts.|Breakfast is included and there are enough hot and cold choices to satisfy any appetite. If you like to pop out of bed and slip on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt—or pajamas and slippers— rather than getting on your ski clothes for breakfast, then this is the place for you. The apres ski spread, which included wine, craft beers, and hot and cold food, was something that we really enjoyed. And we all loved roasting s’mores at the large outdoor fireplace!|Finally, the manager of the property, Mr. Mark Murphy, is on top of his game. He is friendly, attentive, and dedicated to making sure that his guests have a wonderful experience. Not surprisingly, his staff also are spectacular, and they couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Last, but certainly not least, the housekeeping staff are top notch—our unit was spotless. We already are planning our...
