Hard to be much better

Even away from how wonderful the home was standalone, our experience booking/adjusting/checking in and out could not have been more smooth/easy. Anna was so proactive in communicating with us ahead of our stay, even letting us know about a road complication ahead of our arrival. The location is basically impossible to beat unless you are literally in the canyon and the rooms were all super clean. It was one of the easiest ski trips we have ever been on and could not recommend both the home and the host enough.

So very blessed

I had booked another house months ago for our family to rent while nourish granddaughter got married they canceled two weeks before the date giving no reason. I found this house and it was such a blessing. The second day we were there my husband got sick and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Our host was so very gracious and understanding and even offered us s a late check out when the time came. She responded so very quickly and offered to assistant in any way she could. The house fit our group perfectly. Would definitely stay again.

Great location to the canyons

Anna was super helpful with any questions or recommendations we reached out to her for. The house itself is very spacious (we had 10 guests total & plenty of room) and in the perfect location to get to all of the resorts in the Upper & Lower Cottonwood Canyon. The massage chair was a huge hit with everybody after being on the mountain all day. Will definitely look at rebooking here if/when we travel back to Utah for another ski trip!

Absolutely perfect ski house

A! The house was beautiful, clean and looked just like the photos. Having two separate living areas was great for our 2 families of skiers to either spread out or hang out together. Lots of extra touches: games downstairs, massage chair and very nice bathrooms. Great communication & convenient to multiple ski mountains …(we visited 4!) We would absolutely stay here again.

Not entirely true

Proerty was not properly advertised- this is a three story home- if you have handicapped people it will not work and you will not get a refund. Doors do not lock properly or open properly- sliding door in kitchen was completely locked so we could not get a cross draft of air. Had to leave some people behind when we learned it was upstairs or downstairs to bedrooms- huge bummer but the rest of us managed fine.

By far our favorite rental experience in SLC

We’ve been coming to Salt Lake for the past ten years, and this was by far the best rental experience we’ve had. The home was recently renovated and works very well for a large group of adults and for families. It is incredibly well stocked for cooking, has tons of towels, and has lots of great amenities for kids. And the massage chair! We nearly had to create a sign up sheet it was so popular. The location is wonderful, especially with Little Cottonwood filling up so early. Thanks to Anna and her husband for being such wonderful hosts. We had an amazing time!
