In the Woods with the Millers: A Day with Our Wildwood Neighbors

A Day with the Millers

When I first met the Millers—Sarah, David, and their two kids—on a crisp fall evening, they were unpacking boxes in their new mountain-modern home. The golden light through floor-to-ceiling windows, the scent of pine wafting in, and the quiet of dusk made me stop in my tracks. Over the next few weeks, I got to know them little by little: how Sarah fell in love with fly fishing on the Provo River, how David dreams of hosting summer barbecues on their deck overlooking the Jordanelle, and how their children already hunt for wild raspberries just outside the back gate.

Why They Chose Wildwood

  • Close access to trails and outdoor activities

  • A safe, tight-knit community for their children

  • A chance to design their dream mountain-modern home

Their Favorite Local Traditions

  • Friday pizza nights by the fireplace

  • Saturday family hikes on nearby ridge trails

  • Sunday mornings watching hummingbirds on the deck

“We wanted our kids to grow up chasing butterflies instead of chasing cars,” Sarah says.
