"Set in the Wasatch Mountains and repeatedly recognized by readers, this property designs experiences to spark wonder and stewardship: Mexican cooking classes, visits with the resident beekeeper and onsite honey tasting, Gracie’s Farm School for harvesting vegetables and sustainable-practices lessons, plus archery, axe throwing, wildlife tracking, and fat-tire biking. The staff tailors activities for youngsters (a nature hike can become a mission to find edible plants for a baking project or materials for mandalas and sun catchers). Meals ordered from the kids’ menu are complimentary for children 10 and under; Little Vaqueros Kids Club requires a minimum age of 5. Rates start at around $1,299 per night." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.

"A luxury Auberge Resorts Collection resort near Park City that merges elegant amenities with expansive outdoor space and a long list of activities—from dog sledding to skeet shooting—so guests often linger on-property for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. The throughline for all on-site cuisine is a guarantee of delicious dishes and careful attention to local sourcing; guests can dine privately in their rooms, at the main building’s bar and infinity pool areas, in signature suites, or on-mountain for special experiences. The property also hosts seasonal activations and visiting chef residencies, and will arrange short rides to on-site neighbors when needed (the distillery tasting room is a roughly seven-minute walk from the main building)." - Merlyn Miller
"A hotel from the Auberge Resorts Collection that merges luxury accommodations with the natural beauty of the Wasatch mountain range, set on an expansive property overlooking roughly 3,500 acres of hills. The author’s meal began on a deck in September as golden hour drifted over the landscape; a heated, wood-fired table perched atop a small mountain lets guests watch the sun set around them while dining. The property hosts seasonal, chef-driven outdoor dining experiences that do not require overnight stays (tickets are available to non-guests); the program is closed for the winter months but returned with rotating chefs in summer 2024 and is scheduled to return in summer and fall 2025 with a new roster. An on-site garden supplies seasonal vegetables for guest chefs' set menus, and the overall vibe blends communal fine dining, live-fire cooking, and striking natural views." - Merlyn Miller
