My husband and I stayed for 4 nights while helping our son work on home renovations. Everything was perfect and as described. Very nice neighborhood, kitchen was stocked with treats, fresh fruit, and snacks, and the bathroom stocked as well. Host goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable. Very clean, nicely decorated, and the sauna was amazing after a hard day working on our son's home! Would definitely stay here again.
We stayed in the property while skiing Alta and Solitude ski resorts. It was conveniently located for both. This was by far the most thoughtful short term rental we have ever used. The apartment was extremely spacious and well stocked with everything you could need! The owners thought of everything! We will definitely stay here again!

The Spruce moose has everything you need! Centrally located to both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons for skiing. The apartment is super cute, clean and the host have insured that you have everything you need! There was a guest basket of fruits, and snacks, cooking oils, teas and coffees, and body washes, hair care, cotton balls and such in the bathroom. Everything you could think of was available!

Awesome Spring Break!
We stayed at the Spruce Moose for 5 days over our teen son’s spring break. The apartment was inviting and comfortable with a large kitchen/dining/living area that’s great for socializing. Everything is fresh and modern and the beds are comfy. Bill and Karolina left extras to make our visit special, like a fruit basket and snacks. The location is extremely convenient to Snowbird/Alta and Solitude/Brighton. We also skied at Park City one day and that was also only a 35min drive.
We definitely will stay at the Spruce Moose again in the future!

Perfect place with thoughtful hosts
The Moose was perfect for us. We wanted a location that was close enough to Snowbird and Alta for skiing but did not cost as much as staying at the resorts. The property was beautiful and clean and the hosts did such a great job of stocking the bathroom and kitchen for us. I highly recommend staying here.
We enjoyed staying here, it's a place in a nice quiet neighborhood and easy short drive to both Cottonwood canyons.
The hosts are very caring and provide lots of bonus food (even breakfast) and toiletries. They live right above you in case anything comes up.
As a bonus for any moose lover, there's very tasteful moose-themed decor throughout.

Amazing Property! Excellent Location!
They really think of everything at the Spruce Moose! We had all we needed... and then some! Little touches like breakfast stuff, snacks... The property is in excellent condition and obviously well cared for. Covered parking was a huge plus since it dumped snow on us! Located very close to both Cottonwood canyons made it super convenient to get to the mountains. Would definately stay here again.

Outstanding Hosts
My experience was fantastic. Bill and Karolina were super helpful in every way possible. They had great recommendations for family and kid friendly activities in and around the area. The home is located in a quiet and clean neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Everything we needed was accommodated for us, and if they didn’t have it, they asked around the neighborhood to get it for us. When we arrived there was food to eat after a hectic day of traveling that came in clutch. There are detailed instructions and explanations of how things work in the house. However, if I needed anything I knew I could call or text and would be assisted promptly. Privacy is respected and the house was very comfortable. If you’re planning on skiing or snowboarding you’re within 25 minutes of any of the 4 best resorts in the area.

Impeccable attention to detail, perfect ski base
We have stayed in vacation rentals in various places for years but the Spruce Moose is unparalleled. What makes this such an enjoyable rental is the impeccable attention to detail, from the perfectly appointed ski mudroom entry to the well- stocked kitchen and clear written instructions placed thought the unit, Bill and Karolina have anticipated every possible need a guest may have. (At one point I needed a blank sheet of paper for a work Zoom and I thought “finally something this place doesn’t have” but it turned out there was a folder of printer paper in the kitchen drawer!!!) Spotless and well organized, in quiet and safe residential neighborhood, this is an ideal base for skiing Alta/Snowbird and Brighton. Highly recommend!

What a place!
Before we even arrived we felt we were great friends with Bill & Karolina! They introduced us to the property and what to expect upon arrival. It felt like we'd walked into our home away from home. We had traveled from New England to visit our daughter, who was at school in Salt Lake City. It was our first time having Christmas away from home and we came in to see that Bill & Karolina had set up a Christmas tree for us and decorated the home for the holidays! What a thoughtful and lovely gesture! It really made our Christmas extremely special. The space was just gorgeous - very private, you had your own patio area (better for the warmer months for sure!), all updated appliances & amenities, extremely clean, and had everything you would need (and then some!). Highly recommend this property. You won't be sorry! Thank you Before we even arrived we felt we were great friends with Bill & Karolina!

Visited Utah For The First Time
I can not say enough positive things about our stay here. The location was 4 miles away from the road that takes you up to Brighton/Solitude, and it is very convenient to the bus stops. The accommodations were well appointed, and the TV worked well. WIFI worked well, and everything felt very clean. It is about a 30 min drive into downtown SLC, and it was a 48 drive to Park City. The space is quite large and would accommodate 5 people easily. The sauna and gas fire were nice added touches. The owner takes a lot of care to leave items that travelers often forget, and there were a variety of other complementary sundries. If you are not looking to stay in the city or pay the high prices associated with on-mountain accommodations, this will also satisfy that. I would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Great alternative to staying at the resorts. Very private, quiet and close to shopping and restaurants. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Any questions are answered promptly by the owners.

Excellent Stay!
The unit my son and I stayed in was well-kept and the owners were very responsive from the three days prior to our arrival all the way through check-out. Bill and Karolina made sure that we were well cared for and even provided free snacks and water during our stay. The close proximity to the ski resorts was just what we were looking for and use of the sauna after a full day of skiiing was perfect. I recommend this property and if the opportunity arises, will reserve there again. Thank you Bill and Karolina for a most enjoyable stay!
