Est. 2000 · Park City Mountain Resort partnership · Victorian-style replica architecture · Snowed Inn Sleigh Company
The original Snowed Inn opened in 1986 as a bed and breakfast in an older mansion off Park City's State Route 224. Owners Mary Ann Pack and her husband attended a holiday party at the Homestead in Midway that offered sleigh rides with dining, and in 1990 they launched a similar program at the Snowed Inn with two horses and a sleigh.
In 2000 the original Snowed Inn was sold, and the owners began searching for a new home. In a partnership with Park City Mountain Resort, the operation moved to a new Victorian-style replica building built off Home Run beginning in July 2000. By December 2000, the new Snowed Inn was open and taking reservations as a sleigh-ride and dining destination. The original B&B was located near where the Good Movement Pilates Studio now stands. The Shadowlands description matches the current building's positioning as 'an upscale replica' designed to evoke the owner's distant grandmother's home.

Local Park City tradition associates both the original off-resort Snowed Inn and the current Park City Mountain Resort replica with the apparition of the founders' grandmother, after whose home the original B&B was themed. Mist has been reported moving between floors of the building, and her likeness has appeared in photographs taken by staff. The grandmother is most often associated with the bedroom themed after her own; the current building preserves themed rooms similar to those of the original.
The presence is consistently described as gentle and family-oriented, in keeping with the inn's sleigh-ride and family-dining identity. Independent corroboration is limited to inn marketing materials and regional Utah paranormal writing.

Brighton, UT
The Silver Fork community in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah dates to the 1850s as a mining and sawmill settlement of approximately 2,500 residents. The current lodge building evolved from a general store; Ethel and Ted Glines added the dining room and lodge addition in the mid-1950s. The reclaimed wood ceiling beams in the dining room came from the Cardiff Fork Mine. Current owner Dan Knopp purchased the property in 1993 and undertook extensive renovations while preserving historical materials.

The 1905 Basin Park Hotel is a seven-story limestone hotel in downtown Eureka Springs, Arkansas, built on the site of the Perry House, an 1881 hotel that burned in 1890. The Basin Park's distinctive limestone-cut design, with every floor opening at ground level on its hillside, was featured by Ripley's Believe It or Not.
Eureka Springs, AR
The Crescent Hotel opened in 1886 atop Crescent Mountain in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, as a luxury Ozark resort. In 1937 the property was acquired by Norman Baker, a radio personality and fraudulent cancer healer whose two-year operation produced at least 42 confirmed patient deaths. The hotel reopened as a resort after Baker's 1940 mail-fraud conviction and is now marketed as America's Most Haunted Hotel.
