For those who get jitters about whether they made the right decision in their home purchase, Resorts West has the perfect solution. They just introduced a “Try Before You Buy” program.

Resorts West began in 1999 and leads the luxury accommodations niche at each of Park City¹s three world-class ski resorts in Utah.

The new “Try Before You Buy” program gives qualified potential buyers the unique opportunity to rent a luxury home that’s for sale, first as a vacation rental. The concept allows the buyer to spend time in the home prior to committing to the home purchase.

Park City offers a variety of luxury real estate options for buyers in various price ranges. Now with a 3 to 7 night minimum stay, guests can receive a “taste” of owning in the Park City area before committing to the purchase of that property.

Park City, Utah is a highly desirable, luxury real estate market due to to the popular ski resorts plus the area’s scenic beauty. Current properties that are for sale from Resorts West range between $1,089,000 for a 2-bedroom condo in the ski-in/ski-out community of Silver Star at Park City Mountain Resort, to a whopping $15,950,000 in Red Cloud Estate, which is an ultra-luxury property in Deer Valley’s Empire Pass.

This dream luxury home features 8 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, stadium-seat theater, cigar room, plus a slope-side hot tub. Program rental rates ranges $677 per night at Silver Star and 12,000 per night at Red Cloud Estate.

Jeff Spencer is a Real Estate Broker at Resorts West and stated, “It¹s really a rare opportunity for buyers to get a feel for the home they want, and sellers have a chance to show off the nuances of a property in a way that you just can¹t in a walk-through. How do you show off the view at sunset from the front deck? Often times a photo doesn¹t do the experience justice.”

The whole idea of Resort West’s program is to offer a solution that makes the buying process less stressful and a more enjoyable. Many times, a buyer quickly notices the aesthetic beauty of a luxury home, but overlook those little things they really desire and are missing. The goal is to find that perfect vacation getaway or permanent home for your family and minimize the risk and stress of buying a home.

Resorts West offers stunning vacation rental properties that range from 2-bedroom slope-side condos to 7-bedroom private villas. Each of these luxury properties include the company’s signature Private Concierge service in addition to daily housekeeping.

Kate Upton is both beautiful and extremely sexy. Since being named Sports Illustrated “Rookie of the Year” in 2011, Kate Upton has had both a wildly successful modeling and acting career.

The new SI Swimsuit edition is out, but just having Kate Upton shot on a sun drenched tropical beach wasn’t enough. Sports Illustrated featured Upton in a tiny bikini while floating in zero-g weightless. For those doubters, the the weightless experience was not simulated.

While floating in zero gravity during a parabolic flight on a custom airplane, 21-year-old model Kate Upton is shown literally suspended in air. Her innocence is evident as she defies gravity while only wearing a gold bikini.

Sports Illustrated partnered Florida’s Zero-G Corporation who offers an amazing weightless experience. The plane – G-Force One – is a converted Boeing 727 and allows you to actually feel like an astronaut.

The modified Boeing 727 performs parabolic arcs to create a weightless environment and allows clients to float around, flip and soar just like being in space.

Practice makes perfect, as it’s been reported that curvy Kate Upton actually went up seventeen different times to complete the amazing photo shoot and video. They both definitely turned out beautifully. The filming actually took place last year at the Space Coast Regional Airport at Cape Canaveral in Florida.

M.J. Day is editor of the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and stated, “The ZERO-G experience was really exhilarating for everyone involved. We have been almost everywhere in the past 50 years with SI Swimsuit, but we have never done anything like this. It was certainly the most out-of-the-box shoot. Once again, Kate surprised us all with how she handled modeling in weightlessness.’

The mission of Zero Gravity Corporation is to make the excitement and adventure of space accessible to the public. The company offers the zero-g flights all year-round in cities across the U.S. – Austin, Cape Canaveral, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.

Zero Gravity is the only company in the world that offers weightless flights for the general public at just a fraction of the cost of suborbital or orbital flights.

Kate Upton also did a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated that was recorded on video. Here it is ….

Duck Club Restaurant at Bodega Bay Lodge

During a recent stay at the luxury Bodega Bay Lodge & Spa, I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the resort’s Duck Club Restaurant.

The Duck Club Restaurant has long enjoyed a stellar reputation as Bodega Bay’s most romantic and picturesque restaurant.

The restaurant offers the very best that Sonoma County has to offer, including fresh ingredients from local, organic family farmers and top Sonoma wines.

The Duck Club Restaurant menu provides a variety of tasty selections including: Crisp, Roast Half Liberty Duck, Gleason Ranch Chicken, Grilled Filet Mignon, Flat Iron Chimichurri, Sonoma Coast Halibut, Seared Day Boat Scallops, Duet of Raviolis, and Sonoma Lamb T-Bones.

For starters, I went with the Hearts of Romaine Caesar Salad with Parmigiano-Reggiano Croutons and for the entree, I chose the Crisp, Roast Half Liberty Duck.

The meal by talented Chef Jeff Reilly, was superbly delicious. The Duck Breast was perfectly pan-roasted and served in several slices, along with Baby Green Beans, Baby Pattypan, Wild and Basmati Rice Medley, and Blackberry Ginger Sauce.

While enjoying the fine meal by the stone fireplace, you couldn’t help but embrace the restaurant’s serene atmosphere. Gazing out the large windows, hearing the faint sound of the famous Bodega Bay foghorn, and the crackle from the warm fire … it doesn’t get much better than this.

For dessert, I selected the Creme Brulee, which was excellent. Along with the restaurant’s ambiance, it was a perfect way to end the evening.

I also enjoyed my morning breakfast at the Duck Club Restaurant. After a tall glass of fresh Orange Juice, I indulged in the James Beard’s French Toast which was made from seasoned buttermilk batter and prepared with a crunchy crust, and served with mouth-watering Vermont maple syrup.

The local view outside was a moment to savior. You could see across the salt marsh towards the Pacific Ocean, while watching countless birds soaring through the early morning sky.

So for an amazing fine dining experience in Bodega Bay, I highly recommend the award-winning Duck Club Restaurant at the Bodega Bay Lodge & Spa.
