Our home is named "Kia Ora" which is the Maori (Native New Zealander) word for "a welcome and good health to you" like the word "Namaste".
**Dry your wet ski/snowboard and boots here in our dryer room
**Don't bother with buying water here ! Our water is treated, pristine and PURE!
**1 Gig fiber - carry on working while you enjoy our powder

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!

But HEY - a video is worth a thousand words: https://vimeo.com/522484747

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 is a ski/snowboard gear drying room, with a boot / helmet dryer. The lounge has a granite top bar and 2 fridges, an ice maker, office space and wifi. The bathroom has a kid-friendly tub, a double vanity with glass vessel sinks and ADA / elderly-friendly handrails. The living room has a fireplace, a futon couch and an awesome foot massager for after those fun, exhausting ski days. 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. There are also FREE private laundry facilities with a large capacity washer and dryer, with available laundry soap and dryer sheets. There is also an ironing board and iron. Necessities and complimentary toiletries are provided including soft towels, hot tub towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, washcloths, lotion, and a hairdryer and flat iron.
The kitchenette is fully stocked with a coffee maker, a Keurig, a tea brewer, blender, pots, pans, toaster, dishwasher, microwave, medium-capacity Kitchenaid oven, single smart-touch induction burner, 2 dorm refrigerators, ice cream maker, toasted sandwich maker, automatic rice cooker and hopefully anything else you need. 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***

***I have an awesome hairstylist who makes house calls, if this helps you out !***

Guest Access:
You have exclusive use of the hot tub, bbq, gazebo, patio and entire 1,500 sq.ft guest suite. Our property is over 1/2 acre, and close to the base of Little Cottonwood - 20 mins driver to Snowbird and Alta (summertime). The space you are renting has a private entrance on the ground floor, above ground, (NOT a basement) and has off street parking.

Other things to note
Please note that this is a 1,500 sq.ft. guest suite in our home, that encompasses the entire above ground, ground floor. The floor plan is extremely spacious - you won't be cramped!

Perfect Getaway
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!

Stay-cation destination- beautiful amd just what our family needed
It was clean, cozy, and quiet. Very nice and welcoming- I didn’t fear my kids breaking or touching belongings they could possibly break and that making me a nervous wreck - it is cutely decorated but the sense of family and had a lot of towel warmers! The hot tub was clean and worked!!

Perfect location and amenities fo a ski trip
Emma and Ken have a wonderful piece of property. It’s 22 minutes from Snowbird, 6 minutes to Walmart and no more than 15 minutes to other great restaurants and shopping. Emma and Ken were very helpful with anything we needed. That could be reminding me of the door code or coming down and setting the TV up so we could watch football after a day of skiing. The Hot Tub was perfect, private and had a bunch of deer that loved to watch you relax after a hard day skiing. We had 2 20 year olds and a 17 year old with us The pool table and dart board were a huge hit as well as the fireplace and ping pong table. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.

Such A Cute Spot!
We really enjoyed our stay. The kids had fun playing pool and loved the big hot tub. The yard was beautiful and felt private with all the trees. The owners are great to work with. Close to town and all the other things we were doing. Our only wish was for another bathroom. I assumed it had two but there is only one, so sharing one bathroom with 8 people was a bit tricky but we managed.

Amazing family ski trip!
Our family (2 boys ages 12 and 14) had the best time visiting Alta/Snowbird and staying at this property. Emma the host was extremely responsive, kind and attentive. She even mailed me items we forgot to pack up at check out! My kids loved the pool and air hockey table and we also used the hot tub right out the door a couple of times. Highly recommend this property if you are planning on visiting Sandy and the nearby mountains!!

Amazing place to stay for a ski week!
We 4 guys (late 50’s/early 60’s) stayed here feb 25-mar 4. Perfect location to access most of the amazing ski resorts within 30-40 mins. Very clean, comfy beds, great evening games with pool, air hockey, darts etc etc. hot tub out back perfect apres ski recovery with a cold beer or 2. We were spoiled with amazing snow conditions, powder almost every day. All resorts are great, snowbird outstanding but go early, parking fills up and canyon rd to get there was closed on a couple of big snow days for avalanche control and road clearing until about 8:30 or 9 am. We cooked in and ate out. There are a few good restaurants 10 to 15 mins away, grocery stores too and kitchen well equipped for all kinds of cooking including gas bbq out the back door. The host Emma is excellent, kind, attentive and helpful. Don’t hesitate to ask her about anything. She happily gets back to you immediately. She even brought us yummy leftover breakfast that she made one morning. 10 star. You can’t go wrong here! I’m sure it’s equally good as a summer destination for hiking, biking, climbing etc. we’d highly recommend this property and host!
