You can hit the slopes, lose yourself at the spa, or dine in comfort at the resort after a less than a five-minute walk on a lit path. If you would like to stay in and cook, you will find a fully stocked kitchen with all the appliances you need to make a delicious meal for your friends and family.

This cabin has wifi, and is equipped with two flat screen TV's with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime Video and sound systems in main areas. There is also a flat screen with Roku in the master bedroom.
You can also enjoy the spa room, with full windows that open up to the quiet serenity of the Timpanogos mountains.
If you choose to be surrounded by snow capped mountains of a crisp Utah winter, overwhelmed by the expanse of greenery in the summer, or be a witness to the amber change of the trees that leaves you breathless in the fall, you will find exactly what you are looking for in a getaway at this beautiful Utah cabin.

Always a favorite stay!

The Applewood House is one of the most beautiful locations in Sundance. It’s a short walk to the Spa and hub of services. My dear friends and yoga enthusiasts loved opening our arms on the deck each morning to the beautiful sunrise. All of the cutlery and dishes have been upgraded and each room equipped with fans. It was a warm week!

Great mountain getaway!

We were very impressed with the property! It had great views of the mountains and wonderful getaway! The space was very accommodating for my friends and I. We enjoyed the location as it was close to many of the activities we had planned- Deer Creek Reservoir and hiking trails. Communication with Lynsey and Chris was touch and go. The dryer and hot tub was not working. But we had plenty of amenities that we enjoyed during our stay

A Calm. Cool Family Reunion

Excellent Location. Peaceful and Beautiful Surroundings. Kitchen fully stocked with everything we need. Parking was really good. The mainfloor large windows were stunning. The western decorations were interesting. OVERALL: we highly reocmmend. Two problems: the dryer did not work but the owners responded and said they have ordered a replacement. We did our laundry and hung in on the large deck to dry. The lighting for the main floor bedroom was poor. We could not get the overhead ceiling fan and lighting to work. One of the two lamps was ornamental, but did not work.

Christmas Fun

The space was perfect for our family. Plenty of room for everyone. The hot tub and foos ball were both a favorite. It felt cold most of the time even with the fireplace going, and it there were a lot of dead flies around. Other than that it was very nice.

Family Reunion

We had a wonderful family reunion at this amazing home. The home was comfortable with plenty of extra pillows and blankets for the children to have a slumber party in the big great room in the basement. We enjoyed the hot tub! The kitchen has everything from a crockpot to a blend tec ! It is within walking distance to Sundance too. Chris and Lynn, the owners could not have been nicer. We couldn't find the remotes and the hot tub needed attention and they responded and the problems were fixed immediately! Wonderful owners! We will definitely be back! Thanks so much.

Wonderful Family Outing at Sundance

Dear Lynsey and Chris, My wife Pat and I want to thank you for your personal attention and the use of your beautiful and fully facilitated Applewood home. This was the fourth year we gathered our children and their children at Sundance over their school holidays and never have we found such a pleasant and enjoyable way to bring everyone together. Everyone enjoyed your ample bedrooms and gathering spaces, the gorgeous views from every room and terrace the easy walking convenience to the Sundance Spa, Foundry Grill, Tree Room, Owl Bar, shops, deli, and, of course, the ski lift. We’re surveying the family now to find out their 2016 holiday schedules and sincerely hope you’ll allow us back next year. Warmest regards, Scott

Amazing location, gracious hosts…memories for a lifetime

We just returned from a family vacation for the memory books…a surprise xmas gift for our children.The house could not be in a more perfect location…walkable (even in snow and ice) down to the resort (just around the bend from the spa)…and we were even often able to talk some of the Sundance shuttle staff into rides back up (in addition to the occasional friendly local who just stopped and insisted we jump with our gear into their trucks for a drop off!). The views out the huge windows are stunning—we were so lucky to wake to a winter wonderland each day…the indoor hot tub a frequently used amenity after many hours playing in the snow—either on the slopes or right outside our door. The house is spacious and offers lots of places for people of all ages to spread out (do note that there is only one bed/bath on the main floor…everything else does require handling stairs. Not a problem for our group, but those with mobility issues might struggle). The outdoor fireplace?? The stuff of dreams. Plenty of indoor fireplaces to keep warm and maintain ambiance. They also came in handy when the entire canyon lost power because of the unprecedented snowstorm. No problem, as it was daytime (11ish in the morning) and we relished the adventure of stoking all the fires and cooking our meals in tin foil like early pioneers. As the hours wore on, we started to worry that we couldn’t find any flashlights or candles in the house. The owner, Chris, was instantly responsive and kept in touch with us and Rocky Mountain Power as the hours wore on. At 9pm, Chris and his friend showed up with a newly purchased generator, beer, fresh local bread, cheese, and flashlights. They spent about 2 hours with us, making sure the heat and refrigerator were working…that there was a place to recharge our phones/laptops…and that the driveway was completely cleared. He checked in several times afterwards, even after power was back on (we continued to lose it off and on for the next few days). THEN, I woke the morning before we were scheduled to leave feeling very ill. Positive for COVID. Chris immediately told us to “take as much time as we need” and allowed us to extend our stay for an additional 4 nights while I got well enough to travel. I can’t thank them enough for their hospitality and compassion. It was not our first time to Sundance, but we are pretty sure we’ve found our forever home away from home there, whenever we are lucky enough to snag it. Thank you Chris & fam!

Caveat emptor.

While we ultimately enjoyed a nice weekend, the problems we encountered left such a bad taste in our mouths that we will not be back. I hope to leave a balanced review that might help consumers better know what they might expect from this listing, and offer some constructive feedback to our hosts that might save them and future guests frustration, distress, and the panic of a host threatening to cancel our booking the night before. We rented this property eight months in advance to celebrate a dear friend's 40th birthday. He's a fan of tub-soaking, and the crowning glory of this place, in addition to the stunning wall of cathedral windows in the great room showcasing gorgeous nature, was a sunken hot tub in its own spa room, with another glorious wall of windows. The listing's reviews were reassuring. As one of the hosts pointed out when problems began boiling over, this place is, indeed, a bit cheaper than most Sundance listings of its size. Another positive is its proximity to Sundance Resort; I think it might be as close as one can get without actually staying onsite. We enjoyed a lovely stroll on a lit mountain path to dinner at The Tree Room. Other positives: Beds and pillows were on par with higher-end vacation rentals we've experienced in the area. Also, plenty of good quality towels. Outside of these positives a sense of neglect pervaded. Much of the caulk in the second floor bathroom was missing/flaking, the grout was old and stained. Bathrooms themselves had an RV feel, and some, size - second floor toilet was so close to a poorly placed toilet paper holder that most adults would have to sit at an awkward angle. The switch on the lamp in the loft was broken. We had to borrow forks from neighbors. An insufficient number of wine glasses, despite having checked on this in advance. The dial on the griddle: missing. I'm glad we thought to bring pots and pans, as the coating on all of the nonstick pans was flaking off. The coffee filters were the wrong type for the coffee maker. The outdoor dining table depicted in the listing was missing. Most of the above were annoyances to which adapted, though with with impotent shrugs from our hosts. It was their bizarre and panic-inducing communications the night before our stay involving threats to cancel our reservation that sealed it for us. And VRBO allows hosts to cancel anytime, for any reason, with no recourse to renters. To their credit, they ultimately refunded $400 for our trouble.

Best stay ever

We had a great time at this property! We had two families (13 of us) staying there. It was the perfect size for us plus the perfect spot for the wedding we were attending. The loft area was just right for the 5 twenty-somethings in our party and the 4 couples each had a bedroom. We loved cooking together in the kitchen. We loved sitting out on the deck. Plus the hot tub was awesome! The hosts were great! It's a vacation our families will always remember.

A welcome return

I have rented this property in the past and love it’s proximity to the resort. The beautiful views from the living area and morning sunrise on the outdoor deck were spiritually uplifting. This trip was a thank you to special friends who have supported my annual yoga retreats to Sundance through the years.

Amazing Time in Sundance Cabin!

Our group absolutely loved our stay here. We were incredibly close to a number of different hiking trails and took full advantage every morning. We spent our afternoons lounging and grilling on the deck with superb views of the mountains. Perfect rental for any group that wants to enjoy the Sundance area.

About the host

Hosted by Chris and Lynsey Williamson

Host profile image
We met while attending University in Utah over 40 years ago. We fell in love with this magical place and all that it has to offer year round. We have lived all over the world but chose to get a cabin in this amazing canyon because it is simply unrivaled.

Why they chose this property

We wanted to have a place large enough to fit our fairly large family or a group of our friends. The views of the resort were also a big deal to us. We also feel very lucky to be the closest privatley owned cabin to the resort.

What makes this property unique

Huge decks on main level, and second level let you BBQ, soak up the sun, star gaze and enjoy the beautiful scene around you. The resort is a quick 5-6 minute walk all day long for restaurants, drinks at the Owl Bar, with many other activities year round!
