Lovely, secluded guesthouse in a beautiful part of Salt Lake City. The Owner is easy to work with, the house is well-stocked with ample parking, and we were greeted with cookies & snacks! We’ll be back!

Thanks for the five star review. I am glad you enjoyed all the trees surrounding the guesthouse. Hope you return. Thanks, Joan
Our Comfy Home experience raised our bar of exceptional VRBOs. EVERYTHING was top notch: the cleanliness, the amenities, the surrounding environment, the quiet, the whole stay was just what we needed and more. Thank you Joan for providing your guesthouse for others to enjoy.

Thanks for the 5 star review. So glad you enjoyed our comfy beds, and our great location. Hope you return. Joan
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.

I am so happy you enjoyed your visit to Utah. Hope you are able to return.
Thanks, Joan
Great location for ski vacation close to Alta/Snowbird and Brighton/Solitude
Joan's property was perfect for a family ski vacation. We were skiing the resorts closer to SLC and didn't need to stay in Park City so the location was perfect. Would stay again.

Jayson, Thanks for the five star review on my guesthouse. Happy to hear you found the check in and out process easy. Nice we received some snow during your visit. Hope you return. Thanks, Joan
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.

Warm and inviting home in great location
We had a great stay in this guesthouse! The bed was comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, and the location was perfect. There are good restaurants within walking distance and the house is in a quiet neighborhood really close to the ski resorts but only 20 minutes from the airport. Joan was easy to work with and very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
