On-Mountain Sundance Lodging
There is something about
Sundance that you can't put your finger on. It’s an intangible feeling that this place belongs within the natural environment and makes you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed. No visit to Sundance is complete without an overnight stay on the mountain, if for no other reason than to see the moon glow off the looming massif of Mt Timpanogos.
The resort manages a range of accommodation options that will suit all comers (hotel rooms to 4 bedroom mountain homes). Most are self contained and all are beautifully furnished and decorated with elements of the old West and Native American history.
All of the accommodation is discretely secreted amongst the woods and deep snow in three areas called Pines, River Run, and Mandan. The Pines area is located close to the slopes, the River Run area is close to the heart of the village, whilst the Mandan area requires a short walk to the village and the lift.
The rooms at Sundance exude a warmth and feeling of comfort that defies description. The organic feel of the logs and timber, the colours of the Native American styled blankets, rugs and furnishings, open fireplaces and pot belly stoves, leather couches, paintings and photographs of a bygone era, rustic relics of the old west ........
Regardless of whether you are in a single bedroom studio or full Mountain Home, all are finished to a similar high standard of style, comfort and charm. Most of the accommodation has at least a kitchenette (stovetop, sink, fridge, crockery, pots, pans and cutlery) or a full blown kitchen. Many of the accommodations have verandas, fireplaces, a dining setting, sitting area/lounge room, drying cupboard/room and full bath. Bathrooms come with beautiful handmade soaps and organic shower products.
Bedrooms are quiet, beds are gorgeous and sleeping is a dream – literally. You can almost feel the silence.
Types of Sundance Accommodation
The
Standard Units are located in the Mandan area and are akin to a hotel room with a queen bed, ensuite bathroom and coffee maker.
Studios offer the same but they also have a mini fridge and a gas fireplace. They are located in the River Run area.
The next step up, the
Sundance Suites have a stone fireplace as well as a deck or patio, kitchenette, and a small sitting area.
The
Mountain Suites are like cabins and have a living and dining area, and a full kitchen.
Mountain Lofts also have a master bedroom as well as a loft with additional bedding.
The
Mountain Homes are located further up the mountain and have extensive views of the surrounding mountains and canyon, plus some are ski in/ski out. The Mountain Homes have 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms.

Accommodations near Sundance
Whilst the Powderhounds recommend spending at least a couple of nights on the mountain at Sundance, if it stretches beyond your means then all is not lost. Sundance is only a hop, skip and jump (read - a relatively short drive) from the city of Provo. Provo/Orem has a wide selection of all the usual chain hotels and motels, most with lots of beds available through winter. These hotels/motels are only between 14 and 18 km away from the resort.
