For over a decade, I’ve intermittently checked sales listings for Frank Lloyd Wright homes with the hope of finding one for my very own. It's a pipe dream, as most are way beyond what I can afford and some are never even publicly listed—like Marc Jacobs’s Hoffman House in Rye, New York, which is presently featured in Vogue’s December 2024 issue, or the Goetsch-Winckler House in Okemos, Michigan, which was purchased in a private deal by a couple of young Wright enthusiasts in 2022.

Big Sky, Montana, has always been one of the greatest places to ski in the US. Lone Mountain’s vast expanse of untamed terrain, coupled with its pristine powder, has drawn skiers and snowboarders from around the globe. But in recent years, this area has seen a surge in developments with new luxury accommodations, upscale dining and chic as-hell après-ski options, and state-of-the-art lifts with heated seats, elevating its status to a world-class winter destination. And although, yes, the resorts and high-end hotels here are opulent, catering specifically to powderhounds, but you’ll be looking at least $500 per person/night. For a significantly lower price (per head), you can rent a luxury home on Airbnb and have the benefit of space, a kitchen, and a home to return to after a day on the slopes. Great for families and groups of friends, these ski-in/ski-out Airbnbs in Big Sky have exceptional locations near lifts and extras like hot tubs and fireplaces for a little added zhuzh.

Park City’s ski resort is one of the largest in North America, with over 7,300 skiable acres and over 330 trails and slopes. The mountain’s high altitude and abundant snowfall create ideal conditions for powder hounds, while the well-groomed trails offer a smooth ride for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. With an average of 350 inches (or more) of excellent snow per season, it’s no surprise that come December through to March, the city is packed with snow sports enthusiasts. Hotels and lodges book out far in advance, and to be honest, Airbnbs do too. But there’s still time to score an excellent rental for a weekend away or a longer snow vacation if you get a shoop on.
