If HBO’s Mountainhead left you mesmerized by its jaw-dropping backdrop — a towering ski estate nestled in the Utah mountains — you’re not alone. One of the most common viewer questions is: Where was the Mountainhead house filmed? The answer is as exciting as the film itself — and yes, it’s a real home, not a Hollywood set.
From Script to Slope: The Real Location Behind HBO’s Mountainhead
Most of the movie was filmed on location in Park City, Utah, specifically in the exclusive Deer Crest community of Deer Valley. The home, also called Mountainhead, is an extraordinary alpine estate perched on a ridge with commanding views of Jordanelle Reservoir and the surrounding Wasatch Mountains. And unlike many film locations, you can actually stay here.
The home was chosen for its cinematic presence — expansive glass walls, bold architecture, and resort-level amenities. Managed exclusively by Luxe Haus, a premier provider of luxury vacation rentals in Park City, Mountainhead is now available to rent for those seeking the ultimate cinematic escape.

A Luxury Vacation Rental Built for the Screen
At more than 21,000 square feet, Mountainhead is a private estate designed to impress on and off camera. Featuring seven bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and room for up to 34 guests, the home redefines the concept of a luxury vacation rental. But beyond its size, it’s the unique features that caught the eye of HBO’s creative team:
- A glass-walled funicular that provides private ski access to Deer Valley Resort
- Infinity-edge pool with panoramic views
- Full-size indoor basketball court
- Private two-lane bowling alley
- Home theater, climbing wall, and a sprawling game room
These aren’t Hollywood fabrications — they’re real, available, and yours to experience through Luxe Haus.

A Filming Location Like No Other
Director Jesse Armstrong, best known for Succession, wanted the home to feel like a character of its own — opulent, remote, and slightly surreal. Mountainhead delivered. Every frame of the film was enhanced by the home’s modern mountain design, blending sleek lines, warm woods, and soaring ceilings.
The cast spent several weeks filming on-site, and according to Jason Schwartzman, the transformation from awe to comfort was quick. “It felt overwhelming at first,” he shared in an interview. “But by the end, it genuinely felt like home.”
While most of the film took place inside the house, a few exterior scenes were shot on Snowbird Mountain, another Utah location near Salt Lake City, at elevations over 12,000 feet. Still, the soul of the film resides in this one-of-a-kind estate.
