About Abode Park City and Our Goals
Trust, Loyalty and Hard Work
Trust, loyalty and hard work are the values we built Abode Park City on. Before we ever marketed our business, we built the company around real relationships with owners who knew they could trust us with their cherished homes. As we grew, we built relationships with clients who found our service to be of highest level. We remain focused on the trust that we build with owners, the loyalty that we build with guests and the hard work that our team consistently puts into maintenance, cleaning, and guest services.

Rachel Alday
Owner
Born & raised in Chicago, Rachel found success early in her career in corporate marketing, eventually setting her sights west to Park City. She quickly fell in love with this mountain town, the close-knit community and her future husband Rob Alday. Channeling their passion for all things Park City, along with a dedication to providing transparent, high-end service to both homeowners and guests, in 2010 Rachel & Rob set out to create Abode Luxury Rentals, a boutique luxury vacation rental company that enabled them to share their love of these mountains with visitors. Rachel relishes in raising their three young kids, Bear, Major & Annabel with a love for and in service of this mountain community.
Laura Stern
Office Manager & Owner Relations
I spent my whole life in a suburb of Chicago where I grew up, went to school and eventually ended up managing a medical office for many years. I moved to Park City in January of 2016 and have been happily enjoying this amazing place in the mountains ever since. I love being at the heart of what is going on with Abode Luxury Rentals and working on Main Street in the middle of the Park City action. I'm always in a good mood if there's a Starbucks Chai Latte on my desk.
Lauren Marshall
Marketing Director
I grew up visiting Park City with my family on ski and snowboard trips. They moved out West full time from Ohio when I graduated high school and then I followed them shortly after I graduated from University of Colorado. 8 years later and I fall more and more in love with the mountains every day! I spent 6 years working in the live entertainment industry as a social media and digital marketing manager and joined the Abode family in Spring 2018. I love being a part of a company that truly is a family, and with every day comes a new adventure!
Tilly Tilton
RESERVATION SPECIALIST
Vacation is what brought me to the West. Four days after being in Utah, I called my family in Ohio and said I was never coming back. That was 1993! Someone once said "Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer". I have been fortunate to travel to Greece, (got engaged in Santorini), France (saw Lindsay Vonn win the World Cup in Meribel) and I've been to 46 of our 50 states. However, I've never been sad to leave vacation and return home to Park City. Living here truly feels like we're living the dream!
Remember, travel is not to escape life, but to make sure life doesn't escape us!
Mark Schumacher
RESERVATION SPECIALIST & GUEST RELATIONS
I have lived in Park City for the past 18 years with my wife Lorie, two sons, and our adorable dogs! I enjoy outdoor activities frequently which combined with my background in skiing, guest services, and vacation rentals is a great asset in helping you find the perfect home to meet your needs. When I'm not working with guests you can find me on the bandstand with Motherlode Canyon Band. I’m the guy with a green sparkle drum set and a big smile on my face! I look forward to helping you plan your trip.
Brad Pillsbury
Market & Sales Analyst
Growing up my family was in the real estate and recreation business, so I saw how important customer service can be, and also how valuable recreation and time off can be for busy clients. I love being able to help people across the country with their vacations. The work at Abode provides me the opportunity to meet individuals from all over the world, learn new technologies catered to small businesses, and be a part of a growing company. The Abode office is tight knit, and everyone that works in here has a team approach.
Blane Bossung
Operations Manager
I moved to Park City full time in 2017 after graduating college, thinking that I would spend just one winter here. I found that the recreation access is amazing year round, so I decided to stay. In the past, I have worked in Outdoor Recreation so have been able to explore and get to know the area very well, and I highly recommend hiking to the top of Jupiter Peak in the summer! When I’m not working, I enjoy skiing, trail running, whitewater rafting, and camping. My favorite part of working at Abode is the company culture, specifically that the company supports the outdoor Park City lifestyle while being an extremely responsive and respectful business.
Chris Beckett
Reservation Specialist
I am originally from New York, but moved to Park City four years ago when I realized that I could both work and ski every day and have never looked back. When I’m not on the clock, I enjoy biking, skiing, and kayaking as well as exploring all that Utah and the mountain west has to offer. Park City has so much to do and such a vibrant community, and I enjoy meeting every guest and learning about what they bring to the table. I love how unique each property at Abode is and how each day brings new challenges and problems to solve.
Chance Phillips
Operations & Guest Relations
I was raised in Northern California and moved to Park City 10 years ago because I love everything about living in the mountains, including hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking, and skateboarding. In the summer, the Deer Valley summer concerts are a must-do and a lot of fun! I went to school for photography, but found myself on the Abode team after years of experience in the service industry. The best part of my job is sharing how unique our home of Park City is with guests, and I love how Abode wants you to feel like a friend, not a tourist.
Justin Upchurch
General Manager, Black Bear Lodge
I relocated with my family here in 1999 and I have always lived near the ocean on the West coast, but once I settled in the mountains, I have always considered this home! During the Summer months, I enjoy spending time on our local rivers here in Northern Utah fly fishing and adventuring to rivers in the West! Once Winter begins, you can find me on the slopes. I love being part of a luxury brand that excels in high end accommodations and providing a more personalized guest service experience to create the vacation experience of a lifetime.
Morgan Anderson
Guest & Owner Services Manager
I have called Park City my home for my entire life, and I love its fresh mountain air and historic charm. Before working at Abode, I mainly worked in the nonprofit world with a performing arts foundation, and later joined the team at Abode. My favorite part of my job is that I can have a big role in making families have a great vacation as well as the amazing Abode staff! All the staff truly cares about each and every reservation, which is something extremely special. Outside of work, I enjoy bee keeping, skiing, backpacking, and camping.
