They offered pleasantries we have not had before - e.g. a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival.Kitchen was modest but well equipped.Internet worked well, even for streaming YouTube videos.Overall it was very good experience.

Host is very communicative and welcoming. The cottage feels more like a bnb or home than a normal rental, in the setup, decor, and all the things provided.They try to provide anything a guest might need and I didn't come across anything I needed that wasn't there.

About the host

Hosted by Shauna & Eric Madsen

Host profile image
I grew up in Utah. Married for over 41 years with 4 adult children and 10 grandkids. We moved to the Sandy area for our Children to be closer to their grandparents. We love the area and the people and want to share this fantastic location with you.

Why they chose this property

We love living at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. We enjoy the wildlife that come to visit our yard. They love the pine trees and the deer like to munch on apples hidden in the snow during the winter or maybe steel a tomato from the garden. Lots of birds for those who love to listen to them sing or just like to watch them. We are close to many bike and hike trails for our summer time guests.

What makes this property unique

This area feels comfortable with majestic views of the canyons and large trees. Quiet, dead end road with large yards. Gas fireplace to create that romantic atmosphere. Even though we are right at the mouth of little cottonwood canyon, we are not on a busy road. We sit on a ridge to the west of Wasatch Blvd which gives us awesome view of the canyon. We've tried to provide everything you can think of to make your stay a fabulous experience. We are easy to reach and are happy to give you a tour of the property. We respect your privacy.
