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!

The location can’t be beat with quick access to both canyons and this year we even made a day trip to Snow Basin with ease. Thanks for a fabulous place to stay!

Great location

This house is so close to everything. There's a shopping center as well as multiple ski shops and restaurants nearby. It was short trip to the mountains in the morning only about 15 minutes away from snowbird and alta. Park city and Deer Valley are a little bit further as well. I would definitely do another ski trip from here again.

A reunion to remember!

This rental was the home base for our 10 year college reunion and it was totally perfect! The house comfortably slept 8 adults. Over the weekend, we had an intimate dinner with fifteen people, we played party games, and we had a big dessert open house with additional friends and family. It was the ideal rental in every way. Perfect for hosting and catching up with loved ones.

Awesome house.. great owner.. even better than expected

We were a group of 8 adults - and the house was more than big enough. Two great common rooms, amazing kitchen, super modern and perfectly clean. Shay was great from start to finish.. responded to inquiries, provided us everything we needed. As for location - if you're skiing Cottonwood Canyons you really can't get much closer to the entrance to both.

Perfect for our family!

This property has a fabulous location for access to the canyons and valley. It was super clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of space for our group of 6. Loved having the entertainment area with games, basketball shoot and video game console for my teens. Kept them all happy when not out and about. Shay was responsive and great to work with. We will be back for sure!

Nicely updated

The home had been nicely updated and was accurately reflected in the photos. We were however a little disappointed that there was no place to sit outside. This is a townhome so it has a shared yard with a small deck that can really only fit the hot tub. Our first day there it was really hot out and the upstairs could not cool off . Once the weather cooled down, this was no longer an issue. It is in a nice neighborhood with good access to the freeway.

Excellent Vacation Rental

We loved this townhouse. The location is fantastic and the remodel is very tastefully done while still feeling cozy and welcoming. The beds are comfortable. There is plenty of room for a family with great couches for lounging and talking. The home was also well stocked for a rental--basic kitchen supplies and spices, shampoo, conditioner, soap and laundry products. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would change is to add a blind to the upper window in the master bedroom. I know this is difficult with this shaped window and we knew from the pictures that it didn't have one so we expected light to come through in the morning, but I would have loved to have a little more darkness for sleeping in. All in all a wonderful place and we would totally reccomend it.

Wonderful stay! Only 20min to 4 ski resorts!

This property was wonderful for our family of seven. There were three good size bedrooms upstairs, and one in the downstairs. Our teenagers loved staying in the downstairs bedroom, and they enjoyed the Wii games, Pop-A-Shot, and Ms. Pac-Man machine down there! The big couch downstairs, and in the family room were wonderful for everyone to lounge around and watch movies at night. The hot tub was amazing after a day of skiing. The location of the property was perfect and only about 20 minutes to ski Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude. A little farther about 45 minutes to get to Deer Valley and Park City. Grocery store and everything else you need is only five minutes away. The owner Shay was a pleasure to work with and easy to text with if you have any questions. I highly recommend this property and hope that we can return some time in the future!

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.
