This home is nestled in the Cove of Hidden Valley and includes a private ground floor entrance with off-street parking for 2 cars, a secluded hot tub, a gazebo and a private bbq.
NOTE - unlike comparable rentals, we have a ground floor, ABOVE ground private wooded entrance. No reason to go stay underground like a rabbit in the dark!
We have a full-size pool table, an air hockey table, ping pong, Ms PackMan, FoosBall, Dart Board(s), poker, basketball hoop and bar. This 1,500 sq.ft. space has a fully-equipped kitchenette, 2 large bedrooms with a view (think passing deer, and an awesome sunset), with a sleep number bed and a pillow top in the other. The third bedroom has 2 bunk beds and 2 extra trundle beds. We also have a futon couch converting into a bed.

There's also a drop leaf table in the living room, that expands out to allow 8-10 people to dine at the same time. There is also an Air Hockey Table that converts into a Ping Pong Table. Then, relax in the hot tub, looking up at the stars and watching our resident deer wandering.

KITCHEN STAPLES: We provide Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate along with Olive Oil, Vinegar, Salt & Pepper, Sugar, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, and Maple Syrup. We like to cook and likely have what you're looking for.
The space is spacious for 6 guests, and great for up to 8 guests. There is a keypad entrance so you can check-in just about whenever you need without having to contact us. We are "2 stop-signs" from Snowbird and Alta Ski Resorts...20 mins from the airport, 5 minutes to Little Cottonwood, 10 minutes to Big Cottonwood.
Our cleaners have been Covid-19 Vaccinated and our space is fully disinfected and ozone treated between guests.
We also have 2 sets of snowshoes available, please just email or text me your request. Also, when there's no snow on the ground, we have tennis rackets available for your use. There is a free court available in our neighborhood, about a 5 mins walk from the house. We also have racquetball rackets, and basketball, and 2 mountain bikes. Though you'll have to convince Ken that you're a proficient rider before he lends you his new baby LOL.

***Note - we have baby-sitting services I personally vouch for, a Nanny with over 30 years of experience, on-call, available nights and weekends. She is CPR first aid certified.

***Pack-and-play available with notice***Baby Monitor Available***

wonderful property, excellent location for skiing

Emma's place was perfect for our family ski trip with 18 and 22 year olds, the pool table got tons of use from our 22 year old and the location close to the mouth of Little Cottonwood was terrific for skiing. The appliances, fixtures, and furnishings all felt high end, decor was fun and eclectic, the hot tub was great, and Emma was very helpful and communicative. We liked the quiet setting in a neighborhood. Kitchen was well equipped (counter top over was fine), and everything was very clean. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Okay, but had some issues

Typically any minor issues I ignore and just let the Owner know privately. But when, for the first time you get a damage Bill, and you do not feel is fair , and Host ignores you, and just charges the card. In fairness, Emma was very friendly and helpful in every other respect, fixes all the small issues as they came upProperty Pro'srelatively cheap, especially if you have more than 4, okay location, quiet, the 2 bedrooms with queens are nicely decked out, the Pool table is great.Consthe bunk room beds are blow up mattress, so are the trundles, The kitchen is really smalll to cater for 7, the fridges are too small for 7, you basically have to shop every day. Concerns.No Instruction Book could be found, normally it's on the countertop, (we found it on the last day under a bench of other paperwork in a draw, Not checkout instructions.There is no egress in the Bunkroom, so if there a fire in the hall, no escape we could see. BBQ gas bottle empty, no rubbish bags, No checkout instructions. Camera on Porch looking straight into living room.DamageSo we didn't tie down the Hot Tub Lid, Why. because we never have anywhere we've stayed, there was an extremely strong storm, the lid blew off. The owner referred to the very, very small sign at the base of the steps that nobody saw, 7 adults did not see it. All 7 of us including 3 engineers, 1 Doctor, 1 architect, did not see the sign located at ur feet, not where you would look as you got out.

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was stocked with absolutely anything we could have needed. The pool table and air hockey table kept our family entertained for hours. The patio was secluded and private and we always felt like we were at the property with just our family. The location was nearby so many beautiful hikes and outdoor activities. I didn’t want to leave! We saw deer while sitting on the patio every night which my kids loved! We would love to stay again during future trips to Utah!

Great location, perfect amenities, awesome hostess.

We enjoyed everything about this awesome spot, including the deer roaming around the back yard. Sadly we didn't get to take advantage of the super-size hot tub but we used everything in the game room, including the throwback Galaga. My daughter discovered she really likes pool... One small gripe was the brightness of the back bedrooms but we're used to really dark bedrooms so that may be more on us. We will be back!
