Close to Ski Resorts

We had a quick family trip planned to visit a friend in the area and take the family snowbaording. This was a great location, close to all. Quick drive to Solitude and Brighton and close to town for all shopping needed. The house is clean and stocked with basics and games for the evenings. We had a great time and would stay here again. Thanks!

Fantastic stay in Cottonwood Heights

We enjoyed our stay in this updated basement walkout three-bedroom/two-bath apartment in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to ski areas, a grocery store, and restaurants. We loved the clever vintage artwork. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook a great meal, and the bathrooms had all the necessities, too. We watched movies at night and enjoyed cuddling on the couch as a family. They have plenty of games and a lovely large table for eating. The hosts were beyond accommodating. We hope to be back next year!

Perfect week in the Cottonwoods

Brought the family to ski at Brighton and Snowbird over the New Year. We were immediately impressed with the cleanliness of this place. It was within easy distance to both ski destinations and also a ton of great local restaurants and movie theatres. The owners even went the extra extra mile and left some snacks and coffee for our stay. The rental is the basement floor of a single family home which is important to note. We would highly recommend this rental and will definitely consider staying here again next time we are in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Taleisnik

Host profile image
Originally from California, we moved to Utah for the unmatched outdoor access (skiing, hiking, camping, etc) and the way people treat you. We are excited to help give others that same experience when we host them at our Airbnb.

Why they chose this property

The location is unmatched. It's perfectly nestled at the base of the canyon with ~20min proximity to some of the best ski resorts, and also is only 15min from downtown and 25min from the airport. The neighborhood itself is family-friendly, safe, quiet, clean, and cozy. There are also nearby restaurants, grocery stores, bus stops, etc.

What makes this property unique

This property is the perfect blend of cozy ski cabin vibes + newly renovated + prime location. It is a great fit for families, small groups of friends, couples, and solo travelers alike!
