About this property

The Modern Moose! Fully Updated & Minutes from the Best Snow and Hiking on Earth

Welcome to the Modern Moose! At the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountain Range and minutes to the greatest snow on earth!

Location, location, location!

The Modern Moose is the perfect spot for all your outdoor activities and adventures. It is just minutes from world renown skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, climbing, water activities and wildlife viewing all year long.

At the same time it is just 20 minutes from the SLC international airport and walking distance to the grocery store, the park and ride, and even a great nail salon for those wanting a more relaxing time while others are on the slopes.

If location wasn't enough, the Modern Moose, is the perfect amount of luxury and comfort. With 2,800 well designed square feet and an extensive modern remodel, your family/ friends will have plenty of room to relax in the comfort of our home.

Some days you may want to stay home and just hang out.

The Moose can comfortably sleep 12 and has two separate gathering areas where your groups can sit, relax, eat, and enjoy each other’s company.

Each living area has big couches so huge and comfy that once you sit down, you may not want to leave!

Experience plush designer sheets and bedding, down pillows, plush towels, and all the kitchen appliances you will need to cook your meals.

There are 3 large flatscreen TVs with streaming capabilities, a downstairs theater room with Wii, basketball, and our newest addition (my favorite), a classic PACMAN arcade game.

Our brand new back deck has a new sunk in jacuzzi to relax and soak in after a long day on the slopes or hiking.

The EXTRA large capacity washer and dryer will be very handy for families or large groups.

There is plenty of parking at The Moose with a 2 car garage and room for two more cars in the driveway as well as extra parking in the parking lot three houses down.

We do not use a management company. We pride ourselves with personal service and make cleanliness a HIGH PRIORITY. We are always available for contact and will ensure the best service possible!

Welcome to the Moose!

About the host

Hosted by Shay Goulding Meurer

Host profile image
We have lived a good portion of our lives on the beach or near the mountains. The mountains always call us back and we returned to Salt Lake City in 2020. We are excited to raise our little guy near the mountains. We love that on the way home from school or work we can take a quick detour up the mountain to throw rocks in the river or go hiking and look for moose. Our little guy started skiing last year at 2.5 and rode the big lifts for the first time this year. So far he loves it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Modern Moose is located at the base of the Wasatch mountain range within 15-20 minutes of 4 resorts with the Greatest Snow on Earth! (Snowbird, Alta, Solitude & Brighton). The mountains aren't going anywhere and the Modern Moose gets you as close to it as you can be while still being an easy hop to the freeway to head downtown, to Park City, or to the airport. Walk to the grocery stores or on greener days walk just 200 yards to the park and tennis courts or pick one of the many spectacular hikes around. It really is an ideal location and we hope your experience at the Modern Moose agrees.

What makes this property unique

We love our furry friends too. You are welcome to bring one, but know that there is a $250 non-refundable deposit to help us with any potential damage or concerns with your extra little guest.
Also included is a $2,500.00 Damage Deposit which is fully refundable. Our goal and yours is to return it in full every time. The deposit will cover only the cost to repair or replace any damage to the home, furniture or items damaged or taken during the stay.
