Closed borders and long quarantines abroad mean more and more Americans are making 2020 the year they trade in their European destinations for domestic travel, kids and pets in tow.

Natural Retreats — Silver Strike Lodge
There's something about an oversized ottoman that we just can't resist. That, and exposed beams framing a flood of natural light. Maybe that's why we chose this ski-in/ski-out penthouse in Deer Valley with Natural Retreats. Or, maybe it's their library of luxury rentals across the country. Either way, we're booking.
All Seasons Resort Lodging — Red Pine Condominiums
There's something classically cozy about a river rock fireplace, a knotty pine kitchen, and a front door just steps from the Red Pine Gondola in Canyons Village, at Park City Mountain. For anyone looking to book a budget-conscious vacation rental (we get it, you're on the mountain more than you're in your room), All Seasons Resort Lodging has a list of properties and a low rate guarantee.

Luxury Park City Rentals — Lower Deer Valley
The honey hues of a wood-paneled ceiling at the base of Deer Valley has us group-texting our contact list hoping to fill the home's three rooms and private outdoor hot tub. Then again, flipping through Luxury Park City Rentals' select group of homes has us planning to make it an annual adventure.
Mountain Luxury Lodging — Copper Crest Residence
Hygge is so hip, why not make a week out of it? From clean white lines to minimalist designs, there's something so Scandinavian about Powder Mountain's ski-in/ski-out Copper Crest Residence.
Mountain Luxury Lodging hosts homes from Snowbasin to Powder Mountain offering guests luxury rentals north of Salt Lake City.
Park City Lodging, Inc — Park Ave
Breakfast in bed is only second to breakfast below bed, or in the case of this vacation rental, down a flight of stairs in Old Town, Park City. Whether you're enjoying a weekend strolling up Main Street or catching the Town Lift to ride Park City Mountain, Park City Lodging is one of the few rental companies with a full-service concierge to help with everything from lift tickets to room keys.
Vacasa — Creekside Chalet
When it comes to old school charm, Little Cottonwood Canyon is hard to beat. Which is why this original home (featured online as one of the first houses in the area) tops our list of must-have ski chalets next to ski-only resort Alta Ski Area.
But what we really love about Vacasa are their 360 degree tours of almost every home listed on their website. Instant vacation anyone?
While this list just barely scratches the surface, we hope it inspires some research and that you'll soon book your family or quaranteam a cozy vacation to Utah that you won't soon forget.
