Ski Trip to Alta/Snowbird/Snowbasin

We have been staying at the Ivy Cottage for several years for our Spring Break ski trips. It is right at the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon and super convenient for skiing at Alta/Snowbird. It is also fully equipped to cook your own meals and close to local shopping. The hosts are excellent as well and we will be back!

Awesome Property

My daughter and I stayed for some spring skiing. Location was absolutely perfect to access both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons. Cottage was clean and cozy. Hosts were friendly and welcomed us with delicious homemade bread and salsa. We were even able to throw a lacrosse ball in the beautiful backyard. We hope to go back again.

Cozy little cottage

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is in a quiet area, but close to both the mountains and stores & restaurants. The owners were so lovely and friendly, and gave us a great local restaurant recommendation! I would be thrilled to stay there again.

Sweet place, great location

Cottage was amazing. Perfect location for Snowbird and Alta. 15 minutes up the Canyon. Tons of extras there for cooking, loved staying there. Really liked the gas fireplace/stove. Having laundry there was a great benefit along with hot tub and bbq!

The Charming Ivy Cottage

Both hosts were quick to respond with thorough answers to all our questions before the trip. The cottage is one of the most charming VRBOs we have ever stayed in. The hosts have thought of everything: ziploc bags, olive oil & spices, cozy blankets, restaurant recommendations and even a video on how to operate the adorable fire heater, and more. In addition, the space is larger than first appeared with plenty of room to spread out and two easy-to-operate tvs. There is wonderful art on the multi-colored walls. We were 15 minutes from several ski hills and had a fabulous view of the mountains from the dining room. What a find! We will definitely go next year.

It was smaller then the pictures made it look. My husband kept hitting his head on the ceilings. We got in the hot tube but there was so many chemicals it hurt our eyes and made us cough the whole time. It was very beautiful and peaceful. They really think about a lot of things you might need.

The ultimate staycation

My only regret of this wonderful cozy place is that I didn't enjoy it more. For someone who is a workaholic in their professional life and 100% INHERENTLY lazy in their personal life, this place is perfect. Every nook and cranny is inviting and made for comfort. Next time I'm staying in. Thank you.

Such a cute little place. The outdoor space was great. The view is amazing. And the owner was super friendly and answered questions right away. The little touches throughout were so thoughtful. If you want a little fun adventure right on the property the owners put out little birds in the backyard to find. I highly recommend this property.
