High above the movement of Canyons Village, Park City begins to change character. The lifts, restaurants, and village energy remain close, but the experience softens into something more private. Snow gathers in the trees. Morning light moves across the ridgelines. The day feels less scheduled, less interrupted. From The Foundry at the Colony, the mountain is not something guests drive toward. It is already there.
Set on seven private acres inside The Colony, Park City’s exclusive gated enclave, The Foundry occupies a rare position in the Canyons landscape. It is secluded without feeling remote, expansive without losing intimacy, and designed for the kind of gathering that needs both scale and ease. InvitedHome presents the estate as part of its Private Collection, with seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, one half bath, space for up to 26 guests, and 14,890 square feet of alpine living.

What distinguishes the stay is not only the home itself, but the way it is hosted. InvitedHome describes itself as an employee-owned, family-run company specializing in luxury vacation rentals in mountain resort destinations, including Park City. Its purpose is rooted in trust, genuine care, and getting the guest experience right the first time — a philosophy that matters most in homes of this scale, where the details should disappear before guests even notice them.
At The Foundry, that hospitality becomes part of the architecture of the stay. Arrival is not treated as a transaction, but as the first movement of the trip. InvitedHome’s Guest Assistant Team provides personalized destination guides and check-in information, while the local Park City team remains part of the quiet infrastructure behind the experience. The result is not overt service, but confidence. The home is prepared. The group is oriented. The mountain is waiting.
True ski-in, ski-out access gives the estate its winter rhythm. Mornings begin without transition. Boots warm, skis ready, door open, the slopes already in motion. There is no procession of cars, no search for parking, no sense that the day has to be assembled before it can begin. By afternoon, the return is just as seamless: alpine air gives way to firelight, heated interiors, and the pleasure of arriving home without ever leaving the mountain behind. Ski access is subject to snow conditions and resort operations, but when the season aligns, the experience is immediate.
The house is scaled for large families, multi-generational travel, and groups that want to be together without being constantly on top of one another. Four king suites create quiet retreats for adults. A two-queen guest room adds flexibility. Two dedicated bunk rooms give children, cousins, and late-night movie watchers their own territory. Every bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, allowing the house to hold a full group with unusual privacy.
Inside, The Foundry carries the strength of its name. Exposed iron beams, soaring ceilings, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows give the home an architectural confidence that feels grounded rather than decorative.

Natural light moves across the interiors throughout the day, while the surrounding landscape remains constantly present — snowfields in winter, green slopes in summer, ridgelines held in glass year-round.
The central living spaces are designed for the unhurried parts of a mountain stay. Coffee before first chair. Children drifting downstairs in socks. Someone claiming the best seat near the fire. Long conversations that begin after dinner and continue because no one needs to be anywhere else. Smart televisions, wireless internet, and the expected modern conveniences are present, but the more memorable technology is older: flame, water, view, quiet.
The kitchens follow the same sense of readiness. A gourmet main kitchen and professional chef ’s kitchen allow the home to move easily between casual breakfasts and fully orchestrated dinners. Expansive islands, top-tier appliances, and generous gathering space make meals feel central without making them complicated. Service can happen behind the scenes. Guests can gather where they naturally want to gather. The evening can unfold without friction.
Outdoors, the rituals of the day continue. A rooftop hot tub lifts guests into the alpine air. Fire features gather the group after dark. Patios, balconies, covered outdoor spaces, and open decks give the estate different places to be depending on the hour, the weather, and the mood. After skiing, steam rises into the cold. In summer, the same spaces stretch into long evenings, with the mountains holding the last light.
Inside, the home becomes its own private resort. A private indoor spa, sauna, hot tub, pool, and fitness room turn recovery into something more considered than a post-ski routine. There is room to move, stretch, sweat, soak, and disappear for an hour before dinner. The mountain asks a lot from the body. The Foundry answers with heat, water, and stillness.
Evenings carry a different energy. The theater room offers the pleasure of a private screening without leaving the house. The wine cellar shifts dinner into something more ceremonial. The game room gives the group a place to loosen: foosball, ping pong, pool, shuffleboard, and the easy competitiveness that becomes part of a trip’s private language. These are not simply amenities. They are where the house becomes memorable. Laughter carries. Time opens. The day softens into night.

Beyond the estate, Canyons Village keeps the larger Park City experience close. In winter, the area connects guests to one of North America’s largest ski resort settings, with more than 7,300 acres of terrain accessible nearby. In summer, the same landscape turns toward hiking, mountain biking, golf, concerts, and festivals, with dining and shopping adding energy at the base.
But The Foundry’s particular luxury is choice. Guests can step into the village or remain within the quiet of seven private acres. They can ski hard, host dinner, watch a film, soak under the stars, let children claim the game room, or spend an entire afternoon doing very little at all. The house does not insist on one version of Park City. It makes several possible at once.
That is where InvitedHome’s role as host becomes most meaningful. In a home of this scale, luxury is not measured only by square footage or amenities, but by how completely the experience holds together. The logistics recede. The stay feels intuitive. Every room has a purpose, but nothing feels over-managed. The group can arrive, spread out, come together, and let the mountain set the pace.
The Foundry at the Colony is not simply a large ski house. It is a private Park City resort with the intimacy of a home and the quiet structure of a hosted stay. It is built for families who want space, friends who want ease, and travelers who understand that privacy is most powerful when it still feels connected to place.
Because here, luxury is rarely about what is added. It is about what is made effortless.
At InvitedHome’s The Foundry at the Colony, what remains is the essential version of a mountain stay: the slopes at the door, the fire waiting inside, the water steaming above the snow, and enough space for everyone to feel exactly where they belong.
