About this property

SnowCapped and SunSplashed In-The-Canyon Retreat: Cabin Home with Hot Tub

Secluded yet accessible mountain home cradled in the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains four miles up scenic Big Cottonwood Canyon. Cross the gated log clad bridge over Big Cottonwood Creek to enter this private sanctuary and Winter Wonderland destination. Built in the mid-1950's, this cabin showcases traditional lodge architecture along with modern features and convenience. With a spacious King bedroom, two Queen bedrooms (one with extra bunk beds), and a cozy loft, we comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. Enjoy the private hot tub, fire pit, and stream-side deck. With great access to superb hiking and only a 10 mile drive to Solitude and Brighton Ski Resorts, this is truly a year-round mountain retreat!

Escape to our secluded yet accessible mountain sanctuary nestled in the heart of Big Cottonwood Canyon. As you cross our gated log-clad bridge over the rushing waters of Big Cottonwood Creek, you'll step into a private world of natural beauty and comfort. Enjoy our mountain cabin with its mountain water supply. Hot and cold running water meets washing and general needs, but do plan to bring bottled drinking water.

Our cabin boasts a stunning oak-beamed ceiling (with traditional mortise and tenon joinery) and a spacious deck that stretches out to the peaceful stream in the back. Whether you're savoring morning coffee or stargazing by the fire pit, you'll find tranquility in every corner.

Inside, you'll discover the open plan main floor living room with a couch and two rocking chairs, full kitchen, dining area and a full bathroom. There is also a bedroom with a luxuriously comfortable California-King-sized bed and a 16 foot tall tree hand carved decades ago by an old man named Tjokot in Bali. Upstairs there is a half bath, along with two rooms featuring Queen-sized beds, and one of them with additional bunk beds -- making it perfect for families or groups. Additionally, the charming and cozy loft space sleeps two more, providing comfortable accommodations for up to 10 guests.

Outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers will appreciate the superb hiking right from our doorstep, as well as numerous trail heads only a short drive away. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking wilderness of the area. And when it's time to hit the slopes, you're just a scenic 10 miles from both Brighton (famous, among other reasons, for night skiing) and Solitude Ski Resorts.

Whether you seek adventure or tranquil relaxation, taste the revitalizing spirit of the Old West as you enjoy the ideal blend of accessibility and seclusion year round at our cabin home in Big Cottonwood Canyon..

An absolutely stunning property in a gorgeous location! Larry, the owner and manager, was a wonderful host and a pleasure to work with. My husband and I chose this home for our small wedding dinner, and Larry kindly allowed us to visit beforehand to measure and ensure it would meet our needs. His instructions for the space were clear, and the property had everything we needed. We would absolutely recommend and stay again!

The property owner, Larry, was outstanding. He had accurate information and was a great communicator before and during our stay. The cabin was perfect for us. The river is 50 feet from the front door. The fireplace warmed us up each night great and the kitchen was very stocked for making meals. The trailhead to Blanche Lake (photos in this review) was a 15 min walk away.

We stayed for a weekend to go snowboarding at one of the nearby resorts and it was a beautiful cabin! Also it was great that the owner checked the levels in the hot tub for us and was so delightful to talk to! Will definitely be staying here again maybe in the summer next time to do some hiking at the nearby trails, highly recommend staying here!

Great Get Away!

Little piece of heaven just far enough away from the city for you to appreciate “time away”. Options of the city just a few minutes down the mountain but please save yourself the trip…bring drinking water (home is creek fed), bring your food for meals and good hiking shoes. You will never want to leave the property and could not ask for better views!

About the host

Hosted by Larry Perkins

Host profile image
Larry and Gayle have lived in Salt Lake for some 30 years. Larry moved to Salt Lake City after working as an international banker in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Nigeria, Saudia Arabia, and Greece. He was lucky enough to meet Gayle -- who grew up in Las Vegas, majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education, co-authored a book titled "Merely Mothering and Other Myths," and whose interests in astronomy and science have enriched the lives of him and many others. They have a blended family with 10 adult children and 19 Grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT! Wake up each morning to the sounds of TWO babbling streams that bracket the cabin! If you're looking to escape the bustle and heat of the valley you can be relaxing next to a stream or nestled up to a warm fireplace in less than 15 minutes from Salt Lake (30 min from Salt Lake International Airport).

Whether you are looking for a perfect ski vacation in the winter, a mountain bike adventure in the summer or just a romantic getaway anytime of year for a few nights, this cabin will be the perfect destination.

What makes this property unique

Sure, you can rent a house or condo in Salt Lake City and then drive to the ski resorts or beautiful mountains or other attractions of this lovely area. But for a Real Vacation, those alternatives are Nothing Like a private cabin (on the river, in the mountains) that is easily accessible but feels like you are in the middle of Nature. Walk out the back door and hike as high as you want to . Or hike up along the stream behind the cabin (you'll have to break your own trail in many sections) several miles to its source at Lake Blanche [alternatively, you can go up the road in front of the cabin for 3 or 4 hundred yards to the main Lake Blanch trailhead -- from which it is about a 3.5 mile hike {one way, with a 2600 foot elevation change} on a well groomed trail to reach Lake Blanche. Beautiful view of Sundial Peak, and access to Lake Lillian and another small lake below Lake Blanche
