This was the perfect place for our ski week in Utah! So close to the mountains, such a cozy welcoming condo and Jennifer was super helpful and communicative. We'd love to stay here again!
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad everything was delivered as promised and that you enjoyed the great location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Great for the price. Very close (walking distance down a hill) to several restaurants/bars and a ski rental shop. The loft was suitable for 1 adult for a couple nights but as the listing accurately describes, it's not a full bedroom like the other 2. Otherwise hottub worked great and house was perfect for a ski trip.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the convenient location and found it easy to walk to nearby restaurants, bars, and the ski rental shop—perfect for a ski trip.
We appreciate you mentioning the loft space as well. For future guests, the loft includes a full closet and a daybed with two twin beds, which works well for one or two guests comfortable sleeping on separate single beds. It is open to the lower-level living room.
We're so happy to hear the hot tub and overall space made your stay enjoyable. We’d love to host you again on your next trip! You have my direct contact info to save $. We have a few other properties in the same community (Canyon Racquet Condos).
Condo is very comfortable, located perfectly for access to the canyons. I’ve stayed here for years and I love it. Jennifer is fantastic, incredibly responsive. The condo is stocked with everything you need.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It truly means a lot to hear that the condo feels like a home away from home for you. I’m so glad the location, comfort, and amenities have made your stays enjoyable over the years.
It’s always a pleasure hosting you, and I genuinely appreciate your kind words. Looking forward to welcoming you back again next year!
My college girlfriends & I wanted to get away to the mountains for some R&R this summer, and the condo was perfect for us. Everything was clean and as listed. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was great. And the instructions from the host were very easy to follow. I would absolutely stay here again or recommend it to anyone else.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us your comments! The location is perfect...easy to get to Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude within 20 minutes or so and Park City resorts within 45 minutes. We are glad you liked the large, newer Bullfrog hot tub too! It was of the best features of the condo....the privacy (backing up to open mountain space) is wonderful too!
FANTASTIC! This was not only a terrific place to stay in a great location, but the host, Jennifer, was amazing! I don't think we've ever experienced a kinder more accommodating host. This place was very clean, the instructions for check in and out and the local information and recommendations were incredible. If you aren't sure whether you should book this place- we would say- just do it! You will be very happy here.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in the area. Thanks again for your trust and for sharing such a generous review!
Warmly,
Jennifer
Our stay was amazing. Jennifer is the most thorough person of contact I have ever had at a VRBO before. Great communication and offers suggestions on things to do, places to eat, etc. This was my first time in Salt Lake City and when I come back I would definitely stay here again! Loved the hot tub too!!
Perfect size for family of four. Clean and well stocked. Great location.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review! We are glad the condo worked well for your family! Take care and we hope to host you again in the future. We also have another two bedroom and a four bedroom four bathroom in the same community, if you ever need more space!
Super clean, well stocked kitchen, great location, close to Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons for summer drives up the mountains.. Hot tub a bonus. Perfect for our needs. Easy to check in/out, host available by phone or email.
My second time staying at this condo. It is home away from home. Location is great. It’s well maintained and well stocked. Owners are responsive and ensure it’s a great experience. This is my go to when in Salt Lake.

This property was exactly as described and perfect for us!
This was a perfect home away from home for us! We wanted to cook and hang out and it met all of our needs. It was super clean and well laid out with a lovely outdoor space. The kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything we needed for cooking for a family. We are hoping to book it again for next trip!

Thanks so much for taking the time to post your comments...we are very happy you enjoyed our condo.
We are also very happy to host you again this week (Nov 16) with a few more family members!
Thanks again,

I stay at this condo every time I traveled to Salt Lake. Have been doing so for a few years now and I always enjoy my stay. The condo is well kept and Jennifer is extremely responsive. I love the neighborhood. Truly this is my home away from home.

Hello!
We are so fortunate to have many repeat guests but you are one of our favorites! So clean, respectful, and easy to work with. Thanks again for the many years of business and support!
Overall, condo has a great layout with plenty of space. The beds were very comfortable, there was high-speed internet which was helpful when I was working remotely, and nice outdoor hot tub which was great after a day in the mountains. Excellent communication with the owners and checking in/out was a breeze. I would highly recommend this condo and its location to big and little cottonwood canyon and the several restaurants in the area.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your comments!. We are so glad you enjoyed our condo! We work hard to make sure our guests have a great experience in our properties…we own two (this condo and a 4 bed 4 bath) and manage two for other owners in this community. It’s such a great location and perfect for short term rentals as there is quite a bit of privacy around decks and hot tubs, easy walking access to Alpha coffee, Porcupine Pub & Eight Settlers Distillery. Many of our guests asks about our mattresses as they are very high end (we want to be comfortable when we travel so we added that same beds we have in our home). We look forward to hosting you again in the future…look us up and #bookdirect.
Had a great vacation at this rental. It was clean, convenient to many areas to visit, and we were even given tips on places to eat! The bed was wonderful and loved both the jetted tub inside and the hot tub outside. Even got a little exercise getting up to the bedroom everyday- lol. Jennifer was very quick to respond to any questions we had and was a wonderful host.
We have stayed in many places in Utah.
This beautiful townhome, was exactly as described!
Everything about it was perfect.
The cleanest home we have rented.
Also, it has almost everything needed for cooking.
That was a first.
The owner, Jennifer, was very accommodating.
I would love to stay here again.

Oh thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We work very hard to make sure our vacation rentals (we have 4 in this Canyon Racquet condo community and a cabin in Duck Creek) are clean, well-stocked and comfortable. We are happy you noticed. Take care and look us up next time you're in SLC!
Our family of 5 recently visited Salt Lake City and stayed here at this home. It was wonderful. The hosts went above and beyond with the cleanliness and the comfort of this property. Everything we needed was available at the home. The hosts truly thought of everything to make our stay great. Thank you!!

The condo could use some updating but is well stocked and comfortable. Need to upgrade cable package, very limited TV options. Couldn’t even get ESPN and CNN. Lots of stairs.

Lisa,
Thanks for taking the time to give us your comments. Yes, we are consistently upgrading the condo and have some major plans for this spring. We recently added all new wood flooring on the main level, added a new much larger sliding door, new hot tub and painted several areas. We are glad you found the condo comfortable and well stocked as that is what we aim for! Strange about the TV - CNN is standard. I will check into this. Yes, all the town homes at the Canyon Racquet condos have stairs. We do try to show this in our photos. Thanks again for your comments and Happy New Year!
About the host
Hosted by Jennifer
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to look at our property! I am a Utah real estate broker and property manager and my husband is a builder/developer/GC. We have a 10 year old daughter, Avery. We are native to Utah. We love the outdoors and love the SNOW! I have been involved in the vacation rental business for 30+ years....at one time managing over 90 vacation rentals. Now having my own and managing a few for others I can provide the attention to detail I was unable to provide when handling so many. Because of my affiliation in the outdoor sports industry I provide many special extras in our properties to make them more comfortable and of course, MORE FUN!!! I personally go to each unit before and after each stay to make sure everything is just right! If you have questions or concerns, just look at the guest comments! We also own a 4 bedroom 4 bath in the same community VRBO 142268 and manage a 4 bedroom 3 bath and a 2 bedroom 2 bath w/loft VRBO 482349
Why they chose this property
Location! This community has the best of both worlds - it is great for the owners and their family to visit because it is close to family members and close to all the activities they enjoy (including winter sports)....but also great as a vacation rental for others.....the unit is fully licensed as a tourist home (required by Cottonwood Heights). This is very important as there are many renting illegally and they could be shut down by the city at any time.
What makes this property unique
This condo/town home is so spacious and comfortable. The location is ideal - right at the mouth of the Canyons so we can ski in 20 minutes, yet still in Salt Lake county with quick access to the freeway to go downtown or to Park City. Grocery stores (Smith's, Whole Foods, Target, Trader Joe's) and restaurants are close by as well. We are one of the only communities within walking distance to Porcupine Pub, Alpha Coffee, Eight Settlers Distillery and restaurant, 7-11 and The Lift House Sports.
There are several things that set our properties apart: We have at least 5 different types of pillows in each condo as not all guests like the same type of pillow. Each mattress and pillow have protectors that are laundered frequently. Our rugs are laundered frequently as well. Our spices and cooking essentials are plentiful and refilled or replenished as needed. We offer many books, maps and literature on local things to do as well as our personal 'local' recommendations. We live within 10 minutes from the property. We are in the community often as we have two other condos in the community. We are readily available if needed but not right next door "spying on you" :)
