About this property

This is a cozy stand alone home surrounded by old, beautiful trees, in a nice, quiet neighborhood, with enough room for a family or group of friends looking to stay close to the canyons and only a 20 minute drive to downtown Salt Lake City. The house has a private patio nestled against the trees in the backyard, full kitchen, family room, dining room, two large bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The full size bed has a brand new 12” mattress. There is parking space for multiple cars. Extra precautions have been taken to carefully sanitize the guesthouse.

There are a few great restaurants within walking distance (and a lot more within a few minutes drive in any direction) and the 6200 South I-215 freeway exit/entrance is only a one minute drive away, which puts you at the mouth of the canyon on your way to Solitude, Brighton, Snowbird, and Alta for world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, and more! The resorts of Park City are only 30 minutes away via I-215 and I-80.

The family room includes a large HDTV with Comcast cable with over 70 channels. There is high-speed WiFi available throughout the house and a cabinet full of board games to keep you entertained at night! The kitchen includes a full stove, full size fridge, dish-washer, and sink, plus access to the patio which is stocked with patio furniture and a gas grill.

One bedroom is furnished with a king size bed and the other has a full size bed along with a desk. Both have plenty of furniture and closet space to store your clothes during the stay. There is a queen-sized air mattress that can be used for additional sleeping, along with a single size air mattress, and the couch in the family room is very comfortable. The house also contains a pack-n-play and stroller.

The house is in an ideal situation and in addition to everything the canyons offer, you are only five minute drive from a golf course, a ten minute drive to the nearest rec. center (which contains a beautiful pool and hot tub), and a 10 minute drive from Fashion Place mall (largest mall in Utah).

The owners live next-door and are happy to make individual recommendations. There are bicycles available upon request.

Last stop on multi-stop ski trip

My wife and I were joined by our 2 adult sons and our 8 year old granddaughter for the last leg of a multi-stop ski trip my wife and I were on. The property itself was exactly as described in the VRBO listing and Joan was one of the most welcoming (fresh cookies upon arrival and and an abundance of snacks/treats in the kitchen) and responsive hosts we've encountered. All in all, we had a very positive stay. But, I do have 2 observations to make that others might want to consider if they are thinking about renting this property:1) Even though the VRBO listing says the property has a sleeping capacity of 6, we found that the sleeping arrangements were a bit "tight" for our group of 4 adults and 1 child. There wasn't as much space flexibility re the use of an air mattress as we were hoping for. Not a huge issue. We made it work. Just something to be aware of if your group size 4.2) The furnishings and decorations in the living and dining area are quite nice and many of them were purchased by the owners in Asia. I was always on edge during our stay as my granddaughter seemed to always want to be picking up decorations to look at them and/or wasn't always as careful as I wanted her to be re the use of coasters, etc. Again, not a huge issue...just something to be aware of if your party includes kids who are a bit rambunctious and/or have a tendency to be less than careful with furnishings and decorations.I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great experience

Very clean. Great kitchen. Most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. Super close to the mountains (4 resorts!). The art was a little strange and the couch was a little small. However, these are like the only negatives I could think of. This place was great.

Wonderful week long stay close to the slopes

Everything about this unit was great....location, attentiveness to detail, amenities etc. Joan was gracious host and I would recommend this unit to anyone looking to be 20 to 30 min away from the ski slopes and still have access to all the conveniences of a big city.

Terrific place to stay. Extremely safe family friendly neighborhood. Good for family walks and trips to a great park with a playground for the children. The hosts catered to my family needs offering various children items that made the trip extremely special. The hosts gave us great privacy to the property and my family enjoyed our stay.

Clean Home and Great Location

This was our second stay in this listing while in town to visit family. The location is great, providing easy access to the canyons, shopping/groceries, highway system, etc. This while being only 10 min from our family. Still, this home is in a very quiet area and has great outdoor spaces to enjoy the wonderful SLC weather. The home is very clean, well equipped and Joan provided some nice little touches (i.e. some tomatoes fresh from their garden upon arrival).

We loved hiking in the canyon) -fun toys that actually worked! -gorgeous deck area -they let our kids use their yard and play set -really good wifi Cons: -very squeaky floor We felt so comfortable, relaxed, and at home here.

Excellent choice for a Utah ski vacation

We ( 2 of us) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely guest house. We came to Salt Lake for a week of skiing and this location was very handy for getting to all the major ski resorts. It was also convenient for grocery shopping and a variety of restaurants. The house is set well back from the main road in an upscale neighborhood and very quiet. It is well maintained, nicely decorated, has plenty of windows for natural lighting, and met our needs. Though nothing needed fixing while we were there, it was nice to have the owners, a delightful couple, right next door in case of an issue. We highly recommend this property.

Comfortable Home for Short or Long Stays

We loved this property. We stayed 45 days and wish we could have stayed longer. Over that much time you really get to know a place and the hosts. The space worked great for us. We cooked many meals in the kitchen, had guests at the lovely dining room table. We watched football games with friends in the living room an launched day trips around SLC and the nearby ski areas including Alta, Deer Valley and Snowbasin. The central locatation with close proximity to the freeway (without the sound) is terrific. The woods and bushes nearby are terrific habitat for many birds and deer. Mark and Joan treated us like we were family. We had a great time.

Fantastic home for your next getaway!

We had a most wonderful extended stay @ this place while our condo underwent construction. The house is exactly as viewed in photos, very nicely furnished & decorated, with comfy couch & beds. Hosts who live next door were quickly responsive to any needs we had, while maintaining our privacy also. The location can’t be beat if you are planning a ski trip to 1 of the resorts in Big or Little Cottonwood canyon, as it is very close to entrance of these canyons. You will not be disappointed if you choose this place for your next vacation!
