The Boss

The Boss: Utah

From the cow-hide furniture to the grand oak coffee tables and warming fireplace, this chalet is a sumptuous stay near the ski slopes. The home is right on the golf course – for an easy tee-off come summer – while in the winter, the cross country trail runs past the front door. It's a quick walk across the course to the ski lift, where you can spend the day swooshing through America's largest resort. Once you're done, head back to the home for a tasty dinner cooked up in the kitchen, or a movie night by the fire. The deep tub is great for soothing sore legs and, in the warmer months, the home has access to a shared pool, hot tub and sauna. If you're taking a break from exploring, the beautiful location can be enjoyed through the floor to ceiling windows, as you read a book in perfect peace.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom sleeps four, with two upper bunk beds, and a queen-sized bed underneath one

*Further sleeping is found on the sofa in the living area, which folds out for two

*There is only a breakfast bar and small dining table, meaning large group meals are difficult for seven people
