This is a beautiful location and while so conveniently close to the freeway entrances, which should get you wherever you need to go quickly, it’s also at the mouth of big and little cottonwood Canyons, which have four ski resorts 20 to 30 minutes away and in my opinion, have the best mountains and best skiing in the country. Joan and Marc were quick to respond with any question or request I had and their place is tucked into a cottonwood Grove near stream and famous garlic burger from the historic and rustic dive bar with outdoor seating, called the Cotton Bottom. It’s 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City but it’s also 30 minutes in a different direction to Park city where I rode the Alpine coaster yesterday a few days ago, I went up the canyon right above Marc and Jones to Albion basin at Alta and had a picnic in the massive wildflower bloom. Cecret Lake was less than a mile walk. The small charming town of Holiday is just a four minute drive as well. I can’t recommend this place enough.
