In Park City, there are some small ponds and streams in a couple of different neighborhoods,  Lower Deer Valley has a few townhome communities on the Deer Valley ponds, with paddleboarding and fishing in the summer (and used for snowmaking in the winter).   Park City's water comes from the mines near Thaynes Canyon, with some small streams weaving through the Thaynes Neighborhood.

How is the Park City vacation rental market?  A Q & A with Jim Anderson at Park City Rental Properties.  

We have many clients that have invested in vacation rental property, throughout the Park City and Deer Valley areas.  These properties vary in location, size and age.  Some owners use the property extensively during the ski season, rent out their home or condo while their not using it to offset some costs.  Others use them less frequently, to maximize the rental revenue.

We do our best to ask our clients how their rental property is performing.  Were bookings up, down or the same during the past couple of years?  Did people book their trips early or wait until later in the season?  We’re hearing mostly that the past season was strong, especially…

It’s the beginning of May in Park City, and we’ve wrapped up another ski season.  We’re squarely in between ski season and the summer, the town is quieter; restaurants, shops, hotels and other businesses may be taking some time to deep clean, catch up on maintenance, or enjoy some time off.
