One of the best parts of Thanksgiving, besides the leftover turkey sandwiches, are the extra few days we get to spend with family and friends. But entertaining them for four days can be challenging. Problem solved—KSL Last Minute Travel is here to the rescue. Instead of jetting off to another state with your mini family reunion, consider a staycation with the best snow on earth.

Gather up your brood and take a short 20-minute trek up to Park City, one of the country's most premier ski resort towns filled with tons of activities for everyone.

And it's not just about the skiing, although the skiing is amazing. You can also take a horse-drawn sleigh ride (Homestead Resort), tube down a mountain (Gorgoza Park or Soldier Hollow) or experience a true bobsled ride with a professional bobsled driver (Utah Olympic Park).

At the end of the day, you and your family will be exhausted. There's nothing better than winding-down and relaxing at a mountain luxury hotel, especially when you don't have to break the bank to do it. Here's some good news: these three Park City properties are all offering steep discounts to Utah locals during the holiday break.

Homestead Resort, Midway, UT

How many people can claim they've soaked in a 55-foot geo-thermal hot spring shaped like a beehive and made out of limestone rock? You can be one of those people. This unique crater maintains a constant temperature range of 90-96 degrees Fahrenheit; warm and inviting for everyone, especially after a day of playing in the snow. If you want something less "earthy", take a swim in their heated indoor pool.

Built over 100 years ago, the Homestead reflects a classical Americana style and a quaint design for its guests. Perfect for larger groups or as a romantic couples getaway, the resort offers a variety of lodging options from cottage-style rooms for a quieter escape, to large bunkhouses to accommodate the entire family. Did we mention the horse-drawn sleigh rides? They've got those, too.

Nightly rates start at $69. See the deal and set the date for accurate availability.
