The Modern Moose! Fully Updated & Minutes from the Best Snow and Hiking on Earth

Welcome to the Modern Moose! At the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountain Range and minutes to the greatest snow on earth!

Location, location, location!

The Modern Moose is the perfect spot for all your outdoor activities and adventures. It is just minutes from world renown skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, climbing, water activities and wildlife viewing all year long.

At the same time it is just 20 minutes from the SLC international airport and walking distance to the grocery store, the park and ride, and even a great nail salon for those wanting a more relaxing time while others are on the slopes.

If location wasn't enough, the Modern Moose, is the perfect amount of luxury and comfort. With 2,800 well designed square feet and an extensive modern remodel, your family/ friends will have plenty of room to relax in the comfort of our home.

Some days you may want to stay home and just hang out.

The Moose can comfortably sleep 12 and has two separate gathering areas where your groups can sit, relax, eat, and enjoy each other’s company.

Each living area has big couches so huge and comfy that once you sit down, you may not want to leave!

Experience plush designer sheets and bedding, down pillows, plush towels, and all the kitchen appliances you will need to cook your meals.

There are 3 large flatscreen TVs with streaming capabilities, a downstairs theater room with Wii, basketball, and our newest addition (my favorite), a classic PACMAN arcade game.

Our brand new back deck has a new sunk in jacuzzi to relax and soak in after a long day on the slopes or hiking.

The EXTRA large capacity washer and dryer will be very handy for families or large groups.

There is plenty of parking at The Moose with a 2 car garage and room for two more cars in the driveway as well as extra parking in the parking lot three houses down.

We do not use a management company. We pride ourselves with personal service and make cleanliness a HIGH PRIORITY. We are always available for contact and will ensure the best service possible!

Welcome to the Moose!
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Modern Moose is a must!!

Everything about our stay at The Modern Moose was excellent! It was the perfect place for our annual friends ski trip. The house is lovely, comfortable and centrally located. An easy drive up the mountain to skiing and a short drive to stores and restaurants. We loved the basement with games, the hot tub and the extremely comfortable couch after a day of skiing. Shay was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back next year!!

Family Ski Trip

Family of 5 adults stayed at Modern Moose for our yearly ski trip. The house was beautiful and had everything we could have needed. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and the hot tub was perfect after days on the slopes. The full sized washer and dryer was so appreciated. The host was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. We will be back.

Thanksgiving at the Moose

We had a wonderful stay at the Modern Moose for the week of Thanksgiving. The house is adorable and was just perfect for us! It is in a beautiful location, it looks just like it does in the photos, it was really spread out and roomy, and we cooked up a storm. It really felt like a home away from home. It was spotless, and seamless as far as figuring things out. Communication with the owner was very timely to answer any of our questions. It truly was a great find! I'd love to stay there again!

Soccer Tournament Stay

We enjoyed a long weekend stay at the Modern Moose! The house was beautiful and fully accommodated 3 players and their parents! It was clean and fully stocked with kitchen and bathroom items. The condo is also conveniently located within walking distance to an Kroger grocery store and coffee shop! Shay was amazing to work with! Our girls made it out of pool play and went on to play two more days and Shay was flexible in allowing us to stay extra days! We will definitely will be returning to the Modern Moose if the opportunity arises!

Best house ever!

We came from NM and CA for a family reunion and anniversary celebration over Memorial Day weekend. We were delighted to find a fully stocked kitchen with lots of room for all of us to cook. We were so pleased to find enough real plates and silverware for all of us. The house has so much room that we could be together when we wanted and alone when we wanted. The hot tub was warm and bubbly. Every bedside has a USB charger! Everything we could have wished for was there. Additionally, if it was ski season, the Snow Bus stop is just across the street. Grocery store nearby. It was the best ever!

Wonderful Home

This is a fantastic townhome which our family of 5 really enjoyed! It’s a great space for visiting Brighton, Solitude, Alta, Snowbird and the Nordic center as we did for skiing, snowboarding and cross country + snowshoeing. The 4 bedrooms and 2 large, very comfortable sectionals were amazing while we made good use of the large and very well stocked kitchen for breakfast and dinner. Really appreciated the large kitchen table. The hot tub and basement activities were fantastic for our evenings. We really liked the style of this place and appreciated it’s touches like the boot dryer and garage ski rack. Our oldest, less experienced daughter did very well at Solitude with greens and blues. We had wonderful fresh powder. We don’t recommend Snowbird unless you’ve had fresh snow, it’s steep and gets dangerously icy. We will be back!! This is our 4th time in 2 years to the area. It’s just gorgeous and the ski resorts so easy and quick to drive to ( they do close road for 3 hours if an avalanche covers parts of the road, pay attention to U Dot. But snow removal is very efficient here!) The Modern Moose is amazing!!
