Delightful in every way

Adam was a great host. Very responsive and accommodating. The bedrooms are comfy, bathrooms are clean and stocked. The kitchen has everything you could want and more. We hosted a Thanksgiving meal with 4 cooks in the kitchen working simultaneously and it was never an issue. Views are nice, location is great. Would absolutely stay again. Especially good property for dog people.

Very nice home- spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable. Had everything we needed and more. Locations was excellent- quiet neighborhood with some shops around the corner (could walk to Einstein's Bagels;) and freeway access nearby that took us to all the other places we needed.

Lovely spot

Stayed here while attending a local music festival.The house was cozy, and the decor was inspiring (especially in the master). We loved the hot tub at night. The view of the mountains made me want to hike. Also loved looking out at the twinkling lights of SLC. If the size of the house is right for your party, just book it!

Lovely home in Olympus Hills, perfect for families or couples.

This lovely home has a big, functional kitchen as well as an outdoor grill. The living room has comfortable seating and a large TV. Several stashes of board games and toys will delight the kids. The owners were readily available for questions and quickly resolved any problems which arose. Highly recommended.

Excellent Skiing Launchpad

The house is located in a safe and quiet neighborhood with quick access to 215, and walking distance to a shopping mall and coffee shops. We had a great time at Adam’s house. We enjoyed uphill skiing the Millcreek trail and discovered Facil, an amazing Taqueria.

nice place

The location is great. It is mid point to most ski areas with easy Hwy. access and walking distance to grocery, bakery, restaurants, and ski shop/rentals. The place is spacious and comfortable. A good place for a ski vacation if you plan to ski/ride multiple resorts.

Great location for skiing

We enjoyed our stay in this updated property. Excellent location for driving to various ski resorts. Adam is a wonderful host and was very responsive to our questions. We really appreciated that he brought in our grocery delivery on the first night and dealt quickly with noise from neighbors. This is a dog friendly house and the nearby cove point community was great for walking our dog.

Perfect Location in the Wasatch Foothills

Great location - beautiful mountains looking up and Salt Lake City below, with shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance. Great spot from which to access the canyons for skiing! Modern kitchen, spacious living/dining area with warm fireplace as a focal point (and a foosball table), plenty of bed and bath space to accommodate guests. Even had an outlet where I could plug in my EV car charger! Attentive owners who made sure our stay was comfortable!

Great home and location!

This is our second stay in this home. Last year we stayed in the apartment below. This year we wanted a little more room and a view of the mountains. We stayed at this location for 9 weeks on a ski getaway. The home is modern with a beautiful, large, bright kitchen. Living area is very comfortable with a large flat screen TV, comfy sectional and cool 2 sided fireplace. Dining room is adjacent and very nice. Sits at least 8. Bedrooms are nice and beds very comfy. 2 full baths and a powder room compete the set up. There is also a jacuzzi in the backyard which we used daily! Adam and Austin, the owners, are very responsive and super friendly. This location is very close to Solitude, Brighton, Alta and Snowbird. It's about 40 minutes to Deer Valley and Park City. Walking distance to a grocery store and some really good restaurants. All in all a great location and wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

Perfect!

Perfect location, awesome amenities and super gracious host. Adam went above and beyond to make sure our stay was seamless. The location is right near everything with easy access. The property is very clean and well kept and stocked with things you didn’t know you would need. Plenty of space for our family of 5 plus games, fire pit, tv and internet access and room to relax. Adam was easy to work with and has become a friend. I would highly recommend this property for short or long stays. The views are unbelievable and the neighborhood quiet.

Home away from home. Literally

We had an incredible 3-month stay here. It was a great space for the dog, kids and working from home! It was super spacious for everyday living and entertaining. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, allowing for quiet private accommodations. Nice touch with the black-out shades, for the mornings you want to sleep in. Being a resident of Utah, I can vouch for this neighborhood being one of the best! It’s across the street from a grocery store, restaurants, Einsteins bagels and much more. Also there are a number of canyon bicycle shuttles, just across the street. I’d recommend: Big Rack Shuttle + Wasatch Bike Shuttle. Both take you up to canyons where you’ll have a true Utah biking experience. You can also rent skis from Christy sports, and they have all sorts of other sports equipment. Oh yeah, there’s even a ski bus shuttle 1 block away (@ corner of Pluto and Wasatch Blvd.) Our host Adam was very responsive. The place was clean and stocked with everything you needed (and more). Anything you think you may have forgotten, Adam probably has it. We would certainly stay again. In fact we’ve already made a reservation at another one of his properties.

My son and I stayed there for the long Memorial Day weekend. It was a "staycation" for us. We LOVED the mountain views and the brightness of the home. The backyard was perfect for our pups.

Photographer
Adam fell in love with photography at age nine when he bought his first Kodak Disc Camera. Packs of disc film later (and one summer break) he was hooked on photography. With the goal of capturing a truly candid moment and the spontaneous expression of his subject, coupled with a personal philosophy rooted in beauty, confidence & originality, Adam Finch is not only a photographer but also a storyteller evident by his body of work.

Why they chose this property

This neck of the woods is super close to all sorts of winter activities (skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and more), summer activities (hiking, rock climbing, a lake 25 minutes up the canyon), and has easy access to hiking trails with Millcreek Canyon that are within walking/biking distance. But should you find yourself in the homebody mood, you’ll appreciate the open layout, social areas inside and out back, and comfy beds. With easy access to the freeway, downtown, Immigration Canyon, Millcreek Canyon, and Big/Littlewood Cottonwood Canyons. Sitting at the base of Mount Olympus gives you easy access to one of the most heralded hiking trails in the state.

This established SLC neighborhood lies in the Herculean foothills of Mount Olympus. It's home to some nice new homes, a few magnificent mid-mods, and locals who appreciate both the finer things and the great outdoors.

The majority of the houses in Olympus Cove are newer or of the remodeled variety. Quite simply, this district sits at the foot of all that is Utah wildlife summated, and it’s damn near next to godliness.
