About this property

Comfy Home w/ outdoor patio minutes from Cottonwood canyons and the slopes

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.

The best house we've ever stayed!

The house is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Everything we could think of was there: tea and coffee selection, shampoos and conditioners, zip lock bags, and kids toys. The location was also great: close to resorts, shopping, and restaurants. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Perfect for a family vacation

This property is very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend in Utah. It is very conveniently located with quick access to skiing as well as restaurants, etc. Communication with the owners is easy and they respond quickly with all the information needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely book this place when we come back to Utah.

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. My family will be back!

family ski trip

Very nice 2 bedroom guest home in a quiet neighborhood. Beds super comfy, great space for our family of 4. Great location close to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon made for easy drive to Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, and Brighton ski areas. Owners provided a tray of cookies and snacks for us, and we had easy access to many restaurants. We enjoyed our stay, and had great skiing!

Perfect home!

We loved our stay! Great location for skiing. The house was decorated for the holidays which was so wonderful. It made us feel like we were in a home for the holiday. Lots of extra amenities. The kitchen basics were all there and with extra treats left for us. We will stay here again on our trips to Salt Lake.

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).

Lovely home with artistic treasures located within easy access to skiing, dining and hiking.

Perfectly located within easy access to all of the surrounding ski resorts, this lovely home is also near wonderful dining and the sparkle of Park City. The house is tastefully decorated with furnishings and artwork collected from global travels and everything was wonderful down to the smallest detail -- Ralph Lauren towels, scented soaps and snacks upon arrival, including home made muffins. Our family of four spent Christmas here and had a wonderful time. And as much as we enjoyed the home in December, we all thought that the house would be equally special in the summertime with an outdoor patio surrounded by huge trees. The Store is a terrific gourmet grocery within walking distance as is Tuscany, a beautiful Italian restaurant if you are looking for a special meal. We loved our stay!

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.

Best SLC rental. Do not hesitate!

I loathe looking for places to stay when I have an upcoming trip. I’m one of those who looks at EVERY rental. EVERY hotel. Compares prices. I Literally search for days. Then when I finally decide it’s gone. When I had to go to SLC for a few days, I compared hotels to homes and found this GEM!! It was roughly the same price to stay at Joans guest home. A wonderful little house with a full kitchen, beautiful forested setting with a private backyard, two great bedrooms and an amazing living room with a view. Joans house is next door but very private. You can come and go as you please and not feel like you’re intruding on her or her neighbors. It’s PERFECT! I will stay here again and I highly recommend you stay here. It’s in a NICE neighborhood (do your research if you must) but within close range to so many things!!! PERFECTION! Thanks to Joan for the fresh cookies and warm welcome. She puts out coffee, snacks, toiletries. All the things you wish you had brought or might have forgotten. My 11 year old loved home and especially the snacks and cookies. 5 enthusiastic stars!!

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.
