Great experience overall. I gave a 4 star on the communication only because I did not hear from the host for a week right up until 2 days before the trip. A bit of a scary experience, but it was because he was out of the country. The house was excellent and beautiful and the neighborhood is wonderful. Christian communicated responsibly during the trip when I had questions and was quick to respond. Thank you so much for the great experience :)
I am a frequent vacation renter, so I come with some knowledge when I say that this property was one of the cleanest I have ever seen. Beautiful location. Close to shopping AND the slopes. Great area to walk. Lovely view of the mountains. I had above excellent communication with the owner who was more than accommodating. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. It is a great location for summer too, in the event that skiing is not your gig.
What a wonderful house set in a great location. Having morning coffee in front of the rock fireplace with Mountain View’s outside the wall of windows. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond. I highly recommend this beautiful and spacious lodge like house.
Communication with property owner was prompt and very good. The property was very comfortable and well outfitted for our stay. Close to skiing and SLC. Definitely would stay there again!
Dec 2024: The house comfortably fit my family of 11, with spare beds not used. The upstairs queen bedroom offers bunk beds, as well. The beds and pillows more comfortable than an average hotel room. We all slept well. Every utensil needed in the kitchen is available. It’s a fully stocked kitchen. The coffee pot is a carafe and a single use coffee pod. Everything is provided…paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, liquid bath soap, the works. This was my first visit to UT, and the Wasatch mtns are breathtaking. It’s in a good location for snowmobiling, snowboarding, tubing and skiing. This house met all my expectations and more! Christian, the property owner was prompt in answering all my questions and very nice. You’ll love staying here!
We couldn't be happier with our stay here. Incredible mountain views, great location close to the canyons for ski access (and 5 minutes from the ski bus), and perfect for kids. We had 4 couples and 6 young children. The amount of toys for the kids was a nice bonus. We brought the toy box, bicycle, and rocking horse up to the great room, and the kids had a blast while we relaxed with a fire in the beautiful fireplace every evening.
Our 2nd time renting this house, and once again everything was great. Location is excellent for easy access to both canyon roads and resorts. We will be back in March for another week. Highly recommend this rental.
Beautiful home in the perfect location for a family vacation. We loved every minute

Beautiful location but challenging
the property location was beautiful but there were issues with the house. The dishwasher was a big issue as it fell out of the cabinet when open. Several times when someone opened the door the bottom rack, full of dishes slid out on the floor. When reported to the homeowner they knew the issue and said to put something under the door. Every closet in the house is locked and no dressers so you don't have anywhere to hang or hang or keep clothes. The second floor too hot to sleep (85 degrees) and the recommendation was to sleep with windows open as they knew there was an issue. There were no rails on the top bunk bed for the kids making it unsafe and impossible to have a child sleep there therefore having to share with an adult. There was no bath soap, the dishwasher was full of the owners dishes when we got there, the coffee pot was left dirty, no paper towels, one hair dryer for the entire house, several missing lights, and the TV in one of the main bedrooms didn't work. There was a heavy snow storm the night before we left that was forecast and not only weren't the walks or drive shoveled by 11:00 when we were leaving but when we got stuck in the driveway, unable to get out, we discovered there was no snow shovel in the garage. After getting no answer from the owner we had to use a dust pan from the kitchen to scoop snow to get our car out of the driveway for almost an hour. This was not the experience we expected for the money it cost. What does VRBO do in these cases??
When you rent a property there always a question in your mind if it will live up to expectations. This property far exceeded our expectations. Tons and tons of room, well stocked with all pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. perfect kitchen for cooking meals with an adjacent dining table for 10. Lots of area for groups to break out alone. Left wing with 2 bedrooms and sitting room, 2nd floor 2 bedrooms with sitting area and basement big bedroom and family room. Location is great, 9 miles to Snowbird parking lot (suggest valet parking), and food stores nearby. Washer and dryer. I can't say enough. We are hoping to rent this unit again next year for 2 seperate weeks.
The property is outstanding. Terrific home for our large adult family. Easy access to airport and all of the ski resorts south of SLC. Christian was a great host with many helpful suggestions on where to eat with a large group. Would definitely stay there again.
Such a perfect spot for our family while we were in town for an extended family reunion!
The owners were amazing to work with and quickly connected with us when we had an issue!
The grounds were so beautiful and the view of the mountains we gorgeous to look at each day!
I would stay over and over!
Beautiful home at the bottom of little cottonwood canyon
I rented this property for myself and a handful of people coming into town for my wedding. It was exactly what we needed. There were some minor AC issues that were addressed promptly by the host. Overall really enjoyed staying here.
Perfect home for our family ski trip. We are 3 siblings, each with our own adult children, who plan a ski trip every year. Christian’s home was perfect for our Utah stay! Plenty of bedrooms, comfortable beds, large, well-stocked kitchen. There were even a few different living-spaces, where cousins could hang out, other places to watch tv, etc. The home is very large, clean, on a beautiful property with horses, chickens, and right at the base of the mountains. Little Cottonwood Canyon is 5 mins away, Snowbird and Alta about 20 mins. We had such a cozy, fun family time. Perfect! Thank you Christian!
Christian/Home owner was extremely responsive and helpful from beginning to end. Home was in a great location, close to Snowbird/Alta and close to restaurants. Home was clean and accommodated our large party nicely. We really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor fire pit, chickens in the yard, and the neighboring horses.
Very nice property close to skiing. Plenty of room for our group to spread out and be comfortable. Had a nice park across the street to workout in after skiing. The kitchen was well stocked (need a few more wine glasses!) and easy to cook meals in. Owners were very responsive to any issues that came up. Overall worked well for our group and look forward to renting again for the next time we venture out to UT to ski.
The property was wonderful. The house is big and well furnished. We enjoyed cooking and relaxing at the house after our ski adventures. The house is in close proximity to the ski resorts, so it made it easy to commute to our destinations. I would absolutely stay there again.
This property is absolutely beautiful and has a stunning backyard view of the mountains! The home was well stocked and very clean. It had everything we needed for our large group. The backyard with the waterfall and patio furniture was so pretty and relaxing. The check in/out process was super easy and communication with the owner was exceptional! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again in the future.
