A ski-in/ski-out 3-bedroom suite at Hilton's Sunrise Lodge in Park City's Canyons Village for 7 nights at about $890
Nov 13 to Nov 20 (Fri–Fri) in a three-bedroom, three-bath suite with full kitchen (sleeps 8) at Sunrise Lodge by Hilton Grand Vacations, next to the Sunrise Gondola in Canyons Village, rented from a timeshare owner through RedWeek: $700 rent plus a $77 service fee ($777), plus lodging and sales taxes we estimate at about $113, so roughly $890 for 7 nights ($127 a night). For the same week Hilton's own site sells the resort's 1-bedroom suites (4 guests) at $1,098 each including taxes, so two for a group of eight cost $2,196; a studio for two is $671–$765.
- 3-bedroom, 3-bath suite with full kitchen
- Outdoor heated pool, hot tubs and fitness center
- Free shuttle within the Park City resort area (per resort reviews)
- RedWeek booking protection when you pay by card

Why it's this cheap
A timeshare owner who can't use the week is renting it out, and the week ends on Park City Mountain's Nov 20 target opening day, the quietest stretch of the year at a ski resort (Google rates the resort's own prices that week 35% below usual).
Why it's a steal
GOOD COMPARISONTwo 1-bedroom suites (4 guests each) at the same resort for Nov 13–20, $1,098 each including taxes on Hilton's own site (Priceline $1,100), per Google Hotels. Two 1-bedroom suites (8 guests, 2 bedrooms) versus one 3-bedroom, 3-bath suite; Google showed accessible-room types and two may not both be available. Hotel rates have their own refund rules; the RedWeek rental is request-to-book with a Strict cancellation policy, and its taxes are our estimate. Studios for two are $671–$765 for the week, less than this suite. Google Hotels labels the resort '35% less than usual' that week (typical range $111–145 a night for its cheapest room).
