Our family completed construction of our cabin in the mountains east of Heber in 2014. We spend weekends there when we can, but offer it to family, friends and others we know will take care if it throughout the year. We ask for no pets, no smoking, and no parties/gatherings other than our guests. Cleanliness and respect to neighbors is important to us.
Our cabin has two large great room areas, one upstairs with a gas fireplace and windows looking across the valley, and one downstairs with a flat screen for movies, chess table, and place for the kids to play. Huge couches in both comfortably seat 8. The large kitchen is well equipped for any of your cooking needs, and the dining table also seats 8.
The cabin has beds for 6 -- one queen in each bedroom upstairs, and two twins in the bedroom downstairs. There are two bathrooms, with a bathtub / shower upstairs, and a large shower downstairs. We built a walk-in closet adjacent one of the bedrooms for the purpose of sleeping a baby - as that is how we used it when our kids were young.
We spend most of our time at the cabin outdoors. The wrap around deck on the front and side offer spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valley below, an ideal setting for a family BBQ, watching the sunset, or spotting wildlife (we see deer on every visit, but also moose, elk, fox, etc). We have a 6 person hot tub in the backyard.
Location is in a gated cabin community 7 miles east of Heber Main Street and 20 miles southeast of Park City. Our cabin is about 1 mile inside the gate, so 15 minutes from Heber, 30 min from Park City/Deer Valley, 40 min from Sundance, and one hour from either Utah County or Salt Lake County.
Each time of year offers something wonderful: summers are for deer and moose watching, golfing and boating at nearby Deer Creek Reservoir or Jordanelle. Spring and fall offer great nearby hiking, fishing and 4 wheeling; and winters are filled with skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and sledding. Rentals of ATVs and snowmobiles can be delivered from Heber to access the national forest a few miles up the road and offer days of exploring in all directions. Parking of snowmobiles on the property is not feasible, and Timberlakes restricts snowmobiles inside of the gate community to owners only with strict adherence to passes issued.
Access in the winter can be challenging, as the roads are gravel and steep, especially right in front of our lot, and including our driveway. 4x4 truck or SUV is needed from November to March. Chains may be needed in case of storm or melting snow that turns to ice. Also, Timberlakes only plows the roads at the conclusion of snowfall, so it is possible to get "stuck" at the cabin for a day while waiting out a storm!
Electronic connectivity:
- Internet: Wifi with 20Mbps.
- Phone: Verizon and TMobile work well, but there are spotty areas (including Timberlakes gate is notoriously bad). Other carriers are spotty most of the time everywhere.
- TV: 55" flat screen with apps for Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+.
- DVD/Blu Ray player
