About this property

Windows on Water, Stream, Hot Tub, Big Trees, Walk to Sundance

There are few resort experiences as unique as Sundance and few places that you can spend a few days that are as idyllic as this setting at Sundance. The branches of old growth firs brush the cabin’s windows. A year-round stream runs along the walls providing ambiance and natural air conditioning. It gurgles under an eating/barbecuing deck leading to an 8 person hot-tub, tucked back in the pines. Two bedrooms have private decks overlooking the stream. The cabin is airy inside with walls of windows; you feel like you’re living in the trees. The whole house has radiant heating so even on the snowiest days you can be barefoot in the forest. Curl up in front of the fireplace and watch TV or listen to music on a state-of-the-art theater sound system. In the years since we've been hosting visitors summer has become our most popular season and in 2018 we installed air conditioning in the house. We personally think the cool mountain air coming off a snowmelt stream is the best cooling system on the planet. But if you are staying inside on the handful of days each year when the temperature inside gets up to (gasp) 75, you can cool it off fast if you need to.

Cook a meal in a gourmet kitchen (2020 - we just had a new dual fuel range installed for the gourmet chefs at heart) or on our beautiful Weber BBQ when you’re not in the mood to make the short walk through the woods to the great restaurants at Sundance.

We live and work nearby and will do anything we can to help you enjoy your stay

The Unique Benefits of this House: Live music nights at Sundance's Owl Bar when the fire is blazing in the back room. Sunday Brunch at the Foundry Grill - particularly on patio days when the weather is fine. Sunrise bike rides on the mountain when you're likely to catch a moose or deer at every turn. Sunset hikes back from Stewart Falls - two miles away through a high mountain meadow. Summer movie nights at the outdoor theater. Heavy snowfall days when our road is impassable for a couple hours and the hot tub is cranking. Snowshoeing on full-moon nights when the Nordic center opens the trails at night.

Why the Owner Chose Sundance: Our family bought this home to be our home. We lived here for a magnificent decade. But when our family outgrew the house we reluctantly moved nearby and hope that vacationers will enjoy the house as much as we have.

Our Winter (December - April) Disclaimer. People always ask if they need to rent a 4WD/AWD vehicle. The answer is "Yes". Sundance is a ski resort. The roads are frequently - if not perpetually - snowy or icy in winter even with the best snow clearing. If you have a front drive vehicle with very good tires and are comfortable driving in snow you may be fine. The road to our home has two uphill climbs of about 100 yards. Not super steep. But if there's snow or ice on the road that's steep enough. And our lovely but shady canyon doesn't allow the sun to have much chance to melt the snow so our strong advice is to arrive with the best tool for the job - 4WD. Another winter factor to keep in mind; During snowstorms, Utah Highway Patrol may close the main canyon road (the only way in to the Sundance Resort) to vehicles unless they can show that they are 4WD or have installed traction devices (chains, straps, steel studs). It has only happened once that we know of but it has happened that a guest went in to town and during their trip to town a snowstorm set in and when they came back they were prohibited from entering the canyon by UHP for a couple hours. Just had to sit there in the car and watch the snow fall.

The breathtaking and relaxation we needed
The stream, the house, the views! What can I say? We had an absolutely wonderful time here. We’re so close to so many trails, parks and waterfalls. Only to come back to a beautiful home and stream next door. We slept with the balcony door open to listen to the stream. Our host was amazing and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Perfect Weekend Getaway
Spent Mother's Day weekend at the cabin and we could not be happier. The house is as advertised; clean, calming and perfect for our quick weekend away. We could walk to Sundance for dinner, sat in the hot tub mornings and nights and just enjoyed the sound of the river. We will be back without doubt.

Windows on the Water
Everything about this place was great, we will definitely stay here again! The house is comfortable and well appointed throughout. The bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture. As wonderful as the inside is, the outside is even better! The hot tub was inviting and the perfect way to relax after a day of boarding. The grill is a nice touch. We grilled steaks while listening to the sound of the creek. And speaking of the creek, if you crack open a window or two you can enjoy its sounds inside the house as well. The neighborhood was quiet and welcoming, and we look forward to our next stay!

Amazing Cabin, and Wonderful Host!
The cabin is amazing, the location is beautiful, and David is a perfect host. My family has stayed here more than once, and our experience has always been wonderful. This is the perfect get-away cabin, for any time of the year, and one that my family and I would love to return to again some day.

We had a great time at David's cabin. Cannot beat the setting, amidst the trees with the stream running right underneath the deck. Such a cozy place. Fully stocked and very clean. Host was a very prompt communicator. So close to Sundance Resort. We would love to come back again.

This is our second time at this house and it is perfection. The fire pit, hot tub, the location, the stream, the little extras in the house like the robes, water in the refrigerator, body lotion and shampoos in the bathrooms, the comfy mattresses….and the property is so clean and lovely.

Fantastic House
We absolutely loved staying here. We were celebrating our anniversary of meeting each other many years ago up there at Sundance/Aspen Grove. The house is very well maintained, has an incredible yard with the stream and trees. Perfect place to sleep and relax and go visit Sundance and go hiking. Good WiFi. Really the only negative is that if you are tall (I’m 6’4”) it isn’t a perfect fit. You will have to shower with your head ducked down as the water comes from above and was about 3 inches too short to stand up straight. My wife is just over 6’ and did fine. Also, there aren’t many window coverings. The windows in the master bedroom face the street and you can see in the windows if you are in the uphill part of the street - we put up a covering. And in the master bath you can also see the street and some houses. If you’re shorter it may not matter but my wife and I both felt exposed. But overall the house was on a great lot, the architecture is gorgeous, and this is where we’d stay again in a heartbeat when we come back. The owner was really great about communicating and we had a great stay. Very highly recommended.

River Runs Thru is a delight
My husband and I were thoroughly looking forward to our two-night stay with our college granddaugther and her roommate. We had dubbed the property our "tree house" by the stream and found it to be as advertised, except that the outside deck area and shed have been completely rebuilt and are even better than the pictures show. It was cozy and enchanting. Our granddaughter said it was the best night's sleep she'd had in ages. We loved all the windows and light. We made breakfast at home both mornings and had all the necessary equipment in the small but completely functional kitchen. The river was truly running thru, even rushing thru! but we grew accustomed the loud sound by the second day and night and the view of it from the master bedroom is marvelous. There is a lot of outdoor peaceful seating on the two balconies, outdoor deck around the new fire pit, and on the deck above the new shed. We gave less stars for the communication and check-in process only because there was a little glitch and we didn't receive the info for some reason. Fortunately we met David as we were arriving and he was very kind and helpful, giving us all the info we needed and then some. Thank you! We never did figure out the way to walk to Sundance, but it was so close to drive and very conveniently located to the on-site restaurants, outdoor theater and Stewart Falls hike, which we wonderful. We highly recommend taking the chair lift too. The views are spectacular! Completely enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property

Our family bought this home to be our home because at Sundance it is entirely possible to have an incredibly unique lifestyle experience - to be able to live in a quiet alpine resort (typically an oxymoron) and still have a vibrant professional job market within 15 minutes drive (Provo/Orem).

We lived here for a magnificent decade. But when our family outgrew the house we reluctantly moved nearby and hope that vacationers will enjoy the house as much as we have.
