Hidden Treasure Guide
shortage of activities that all can enjoy.
Winter
Ski at Park City, Deer Valley, or Sundance Resort – all within 20 minutes of your front door. Each offers a different type of experience depending on what you are looking for. Sundance has a smaller hometown feel to it that is great for beginners and intermediate but also has a whole back mountain waiting to be explored.
Sledding and Tubing
Everyone knows of the world famous tubing at Soldier Hollow. This is a fast paced fun activity for everyone. You get a ride up the hill and down. It’s just 10 minutes from the house.
For a more organic sledding activity we recommend going over to Wasatch Mountain State park and taking the sleds we provide in the garage or buying a few from Walmart. It’s free to do and your kids will tire themselves out running back up the hill to go again.
This part of the valley has snow when the other areas don’t. We have been when there is no snow on the ground in other areas and there is still snow up there! I recommend parking at the golf course club house and going right there although there are many other areas you can easily find which makes it an adventure. We see lots of wild turkeys there in the winter as well.
Snowmobiling
Daniels Summit or Wasatch Mountain State park both have rentals for a few hours, guided tours, or all day trips!
Ride the Polar Express on the Heber Train – Kids love the magic of a train ride through a winter wonderland. This is also a fun summer evening activity or look for the themed rides they do all year like the spooky train or Harry Potter theme at Halloween!
Midway Ice Castles
A magical evening or day exploring huge ice castles and slides. This annual event is usually only available from January to March. They usually offer sleigh rides and hot cocoa to complete the perfect night.
Midway Ice Skating

Homestead Crater
One of the unique activities in Midway Utah is the one-of-a-kind Homestead Crater. The Crater is a geothermal spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock located on the Homestead property.
Over 10,000 years in the making, The Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface — eventually forming the volcano-shaped limestone deposit called The Homestead Crater
The hole at the top of the dome lets in sunlight and fresh air while the interior stays heated by the mineral water at a constant range of 90 – 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can snorkel, soak, try your hand at paddle board yoga inside the crater year round!
The Crater Is The Only Warm Scuba Diving Destination In The Continental US
Rec Center for pickleball, basketball, etc. learn more
This place is great for families that want to get some energy out in a warm environment during the winter or on a rainy day. There is an indoor track to run on, sports fields with soccer balls, basketball courts, pickleball courts, tennis courts, etc! There is no child care here, but across the hallway in the same building is another gym that offers child care along with an indoor rock climbing wall! My family loves to come here to let my wife run around the track while I play indoor soccer with my other kids. It has amazing views of Mt Timpanogos right from the track.

Summer/Spring/Fall
Summers in Heber Valley are dreamy! The cool dry mountain air and breezes make it pleasant to be outside and enjoy all the beauty of the Utah mountains. There are many day time activities within a 30 minute drive that our family enjoys. You will make memories that last a lifetime during your summer stay!
Mountain Biking Trails
You can do daily rentals of mountain bikes to enjoy world class mountain biking in the Utah Mountains. If you want to go it alone I suggest you download the app All trails and search for mountain biking trails. WOW trail is a great one for intermediate riders. There are trails just down the road from the house with access to Coyote trail if you brought your own bike! You can rent bikes from Midway Adventure Co or from Unita Recreation They both have good information on their websites on where to go.

We stayed at this location in early March and the trip could not have been more perfect. 7 adults and 7 kids and this place was perfect for all of us! The owner was very accommodating and kind. The house was beautiful l, clean and lots of space. We played in the snow in the yard and even got to see deer in the backyard! The view of the snowy mountains was beautiful! We spent most of our time in park city, but it was a quick and easy drive from the house! Overall great place and enjoyed it very much!!!

Was a nice house and Tim was great to work with. Love having extra folding chairs and a folding table. The view was great and almost as if it were staged, the deer came through the backyard and the children loved watching them. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five stars was there were several repairs that are needed on the home. I made Tim aware of the problems and he was planning to fix them. Hope the couch upstairs gets replaced as it was not very comfortable.

This place was amazing! No detail was overlooked. Tim even sent some information about an event in the area that added more fun to our stay. Great communication and super nice accommodations.
