There are quite a few bunk beds within the home as well.

It can sleep up to 24 and even has a garage for ski gear.
The Family Barn is a New, Beautiful Home - Mendon
We love that this barn continues with the farmhouse chic design in the interior. From the tile, sinks, all the way down to the floors, it all exudes a pleasantly country vibe. Guests will have a couple of different game tables to choose from, so nights are going to be really exciting. Be sure to grab some pizzas! Throughout the home, there are bunk beds, three bathrooms, and a generously sized kitchen to accommodate meal prep.
Deer Valley Shores Unit with 4 Masters - Heber City
A pool table, private hot tub, and wildlife sightings—talk about an exciting family reunion. You can even take everyone on an adventurous horseback ride along the rocky terrain in the vicinity. Simply put, the home is gorgeous, and is accented with a lovely kitchen, and comfortable sleeping space for all. Deer Valley is one of those stunning destinations in Utah, that really outdoes itself. It’s hard to imagine, as the state of Utah itself is just breathtaking all together.
The Barn at The Family Farm - Cedar City
The barn just has the coolest rustic aesthetic, and the interior presents luxuriously, but also authentically. Hammocks hang in various places, and bunk beds, along with regular beds can sleep up to 14 people. Be sure to visit downtown Cedar City, where they have great little places to get breakfast and coffee, along with an adorable outdoor French eatery.
Luxury Home, Water Park and Pools - Santa Clara
We have another rental listed within the same community, with access to awesome pools and amenities. This particular home is a touch more on the refined and elegant side but still can sleep quite a few people. Being near St. George, there are a wealth of restaurants within your reach, and of course the beloved Zion National Park. Bryce Canyon is well worth a visit as well since the park loop is typically easy to take on with a minivan full of kids.
Hanksville Red Rock Cave Home, A Desert Paradise - Hanksville
Built in the 1980s, this home was dreamt up by a true Utah cowboy! The kids will no doubt be excited about staying in a home like this, as half of it is wedged inside of a cave—or maybe the cave is just the house! Regardless, the living room sits within a cavernous environment, while part of the house may feel like your traditional southwestern home. Situated near the Freemont River, some seriously great fishing isn’t far away.
Beautiful Cedar City Mountain Cabin Getaway - Cedar City
Cedar City is an adorable town just above St. George. Nearby, is Brian Head Ski Resort, which is definitely worth a visit, as it has great beginner skiing, and a super speed snow tubing hill. But the family will likely want to spend plenty of time at this large cabin, that has a traditional log construction, and plenty of beds. Take in the views from the upper-level loft that peers straight through the windows, or head out to the deck and breathe in that fresh air.
Your Luxury 4 Season Mountain Home - Eden
While this home is more suitable for smaller gatherings, it can still accommodate up to eight people – so that could be two families! The cozy presentation is suitable for any time of year, but especially when the snow is falling. Amenities in the area include a spacious pool, well equipped workout room, and a ping pong table. Right outside the door, on a private patio is your own hot tub.
Hideaway Above The Stream - Sundance
Sundance is a beautiful year-round destination. If you don’t want to ski, the restaurants within the resort are spectacular – try the fries at the Foundry Grill! They also have a pretty spectacular selection of lattes. The home houses a lovely outdoor seating space that overlooks the river, so that is probably where everyone is going to want to spend their time. Inside, eight beds accommodate guests.
