This is our groups third stay here in four years and never disappoints. Plenty of space and beds for everyone and the hot tub is an added plus after long day of skiing. Although we cooked in most nights, the local area has many good dining choices. Our caretaker Whiskey is always on hand to address any issues or share with you a great local dining spot!

Amazing place, amazing view

We needed a place for family to gather for the week leading up to our daughters wedding. The house was perfect for a large group-lots of bedrooms and bathrooms and space to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked to prepare meals for large groups and the view from the hot tub was fantastic. The yard made for gorgeous pre-wedding photos and we had a few deer wander through. Whiskey was great-he was available to help or answer questions if needed, but was otherwise completely unobtrusive and you wouldn't even know he was there. The master bathroom was perfect for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. Only suggestion would be to add an outdoor table for the patio near the hot tub. Loved this place!

Family get away to Utah

The rental was as pictured with plenty of space for the 9 of us. The kitchen had every type of cooking utensil, pots and pans needed. The lighting was labeled which helped with all of the lights. We enjoyed the deck for conversation and games. Great view of the skyline and valley. We were able to take advantage of the area with a pontoon ride, hikes, kayaking, paddle boards and sailing. The 75 inch TV was great for watching the Olympics. A wonderful adventure. Thanks Whiskey.

Our stay was wonderful. Peaceful evenings relaxing on the deck with the jacuzzi watching the gorgeous sunsets. Big family meals cooked in the spacious kitchen with everything we needed. Big dining room table. Fun game/TV room downstairs. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out. Right in the middle of a beautiful nature area. We took lots of walks. Caretaker very responsive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend for a large family or several couples getaway. We would love to go back!

Convenient, scenic and fun

Check in was a breeze as we were greeted upon arrival by the property manager who kept in touch via text while we were on our way. Super convenient to skiing Snowbird, Alta being less than a half mile from base of the canyon. Beautiful views off the back deck and really enjoyed sitting in hot tub while watching the sunset. Playing pool and ping-pong was a blast and a bonus for us. And, having access to the Netflix account was great. Would come back here everything we are skiing in Utah.
