Perfect for Father/Sons ski trip

Everything needed for a low frills location close to little cottonwood canyon for a 20 minute drive to Alta. It's a basement as advertised but not musty or shabby. Got excellent support from the owner. Close to ski rental shops and plenty of places to eat. Worked great for our long weekend.

A simple, easy, no frills abode for ski bums. Really good for a couple (1bed). Spacious big room for everything else. Did not use the hot tub but looked hot and clean and ready to go. Place was clean.

Absolutely wonderful!

I needed a small place to stay that was close to where I was working. This place was great! It had everything I needed and was just as described. The shower is AMAZING! It was a little cold in the evenings and the heaters did just the trick! Drew was very prompt at responding to needs and requests. The neighborhood is great as well. I would definitely rent this place again and will refer friends.

Ski Bum stay

For our ski vacation, my son and I enjoyed this nicely located house and the amenities like the hot tub and the very nice bathroom. The main room area was quite large and nice for staging our equipment for each day. The beds were comfortable. The only drawback was since this is a basement, you can hear foot steps from the people upstairs but that usually stopped before bedtime. Overall we liked it and would stay there again.

Seeing family in SLC

We stayed here earlier this month because it was ver convenient to our family. The size was perfect for my wife and I, but we weren’t there Much other than to sleep and morning coffee. My only complaint would be that it is a basement space so you can hear all the movement of the folks upstairs. This didn’t bother me as I’m a sound sleeper, but did keep my wife up one night. Otherwise, no issues. Easy check in and check out, very clean and I’d stay there again.

Great to crash at only.

This space was great in the sense that it was clean, had a kitchen, and a super comfy bed. However, that is about it. The host was really nice and responds to messages quickly. The problem is the upstairs of the house is owned by someone else, and their tenants are super rowdy. Its clearly marked in the VRBO no parties, but the upstairs tenants were throwing a party the second night we were there. Whoever was staying upstairs was stomping around like crazy throughout the entire second and third night - midnight until nearly 5 AM. If you're used to that, then by all means it's a great place to stay. Just be aware. Also, just has really spotty cable and wifi. No streaming services.
