White Timberline

White Timberline: Utah

The view from this home's private deck is really something, with mountains as far as the eye can see. Just a short walk from the nearest ski lift, you'll be in a great spot in the Alta Ski Area, famous for its powder-soft slopes. Just across from the Alta Lodge and Wildcat base, it overlooks the ski slopes and High Rustler.

A tribute to well-known local photographer, Tom Plofchan, this home is part of a small, exclusive building that's contemporary and stylish. With ski storage, a cosy fireplace and a smart, comfortable interior, it's a superb choice for a family or a group of friends.

There are two seating areas, one of which doubles as another sleeping space, and we particularly love the high-spec kitchen – a keen cook's delight. Eat together at the dining table or at the breakfast bar, then relax on the comfy sofa with some board games. And best of all, you'll have your own private hot tub to relax in after a day on the slopes.

Home truths:
*There is one parking spot directly in front of the building for this unit
*You'll be on the first floor of a building with no lift – there are stairs up to the building entrance
*Both beds can be split to form twins on request – the fourth and fifth guests would be sleeping on the sofa bed in the lounge
*The Alta resort shuttle runs from mid-December to early April
