Clear Answers • Zero Ambiguity
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about skipping third-party fees, our 14-day refund guarantee, and local hospitality.
Why is booking direct cheaper than Airbnb or VRBO?
Booking through Airbnb and VRBO costs 15% to 24% more once their marked-up rates and guest service fees are added at checkout. When you book directly with Bryan & Sonja Allison, you bypass those platform costs entirely. We also guarantee the lowest rates anywhere across our 21 Canyons Village residences.
How does the ROAM 14-Day 100% Refund Guarantee work?
Unlike rigid Airbnb 'Strict' cancellation terms that confiscate 100% of your funds months in advance, all direct bookings with Park City Canyons Lodging are 100% refundable up to 14 days prior to your arrival date. No credits, no vouchers—a full refund.
Are there hidden checkout or service fees applied here?
No. What you see is completely transparent. We charge a standard professional cleaning fee to ensure our mountain properties meet strict luxury hospitality criteria, and your protection is already built right in. We never stack arbitrary 'guest platform access fees' at checkout.
Who answers the phone if I need assistance during my stay?
You receive direct cell phone access to local owners Bryan and Sonja Allison. We have lived and operated in Park City since 1986, and our on-mountain office is minutes away in Canyons Village. If you need extra firewood, have route questions over Parley's Canyon, or need ski advice, you speak directly with us.
Is booking directly on this site safer than using third-party apps?
Absolutely. Our transaction platform uses industry-standard, luxury-tier payment encryptions. More importantly, your reservation is secured directly within our master property management ledger, eliminating any risk of channel communication delays or accidental automated cancellations.
Can I modify or adjust my reservation directly?
Yes. If you need to add an extra night, arrange early gear drop-off, or adjust occupancy, you deal directly with our executive office. You don't have to battle a platform chatbot or request formal permission through a corporate third-party portal.
How do I check in to my vacation rental?
Every residence features keyless digital keypad entry. Prior to arrival, you receive your unique digital code and personalized route instructions. You can bypass rental offices and drive directly to your residence, punch in your code, and begin your mountain vacation immediately.
