About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
***Luxury Mountainside Retreat***
When we decide to take a vacation, we want to go someplace we enjoy...a place we can relax and unwind with family. We're sure you feel the same. Whether you want to relax, see the sights, fish, hike, kayak, swim, boat, snowmobile or snow ski, Utah is the perfect place! And of course, while we're vacationing, we want clean, comfortable accommodations and our home in Sandy fits that description. The home is close to dining and shopping, close to the ski resorts and about 20 minutes from the heart of beautiful Salt Lake City. It is clean, spacious, well maintained and very comfortable.
The minute you step through the door, you'll feel totally comfortable and at home! Kick off your shoes and relax for a minute or two. Kick back in the living room OR the theatre room OR enjoy the view from the deck or the front porch OR play a quick game of pool OR take a soak in the hot tub. As you can see by all the OR'S, there is something for everyone in YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!
The spacious kitchen has everything you need to prepare an awesome meal or a quick snack. There are plenty of dishes, flatware, glasses and cups plus a variety of pots and pans. Spices, napkins, food storage bags, foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, sponges and trash can liners are available in the spacious pantry. Also stored in the pantry are many small appliances including coffee maker, toaster, 2 large and 2 small crockpots, griddle and waffle maker. Also, the pantry is home to a blender, hand mixer, juicer and electric tea kettle. Larger crowd for meals? No worries. There is plenty of sit down dining including a breakfast bar for 4, a dining table for 8 and a larger dining table for 12-14 people...perfect for larger families. The spacious pantry and the cupboard storage is endless...there's a place for anything and everything you bring. If you choose to BBQ outside, there is a BBQ and extra propane in the garage.
The bedrooms are spacious with lots of closet and dresser space. There are extra blankets and pillows in the closets. For babies...two cribs, a high chair and baby gates so they will be very comfortable. All linens are professionally laundered and sanitized. .
The house has a gas furnace/AC. For cooler winter nights, there are 2 gas fireplaces; one in the theatre room and one in the living room.
After a day of sightseeing, skiing, hiking or whatever...you'll enjoy a great night's rest in any one of 13 comfortable beds. Too excited to sleep just yet? Well, you can relax and enjoy TV in the living room, in your bedroom or in the theatre room on a 10-foot drop down screen. You can also enjoy the lights of the city and some quiet time on the deck PLUS there is an awesome view of the Wasatch Mountains from the front porch. As a finishing touch, you can take a relaxing soak in the hot tub (ready at 103 degrees) while enjoying the view of the city lights. Now you are ready for a good night's rest and another adventurous day tomorrow! Before breakfast you might want to sit on the deck or take a peek out the windows and see the deer feasting on the lawn, apple tree and peach tree.
Wondering about parking? Not a problem. The driveway is flat so you can park 6+ cars PLUS a spacious 3-car garage with remote door openers and a graveled area at the north end of the property.
The guest information book on the table contains helpful information about the house including fireplace instructions and the WiFi passwords. And, of course, the owners are available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have. There is a video posted on this site that will show you the property inside and outside.
Family is very important to us and all vacations create special memories that last a lifetime. That is why we make our home family friendly whether it be a family of 6 or as many as 20. Enjoy and thanks!!!

The house was in worse condition than the photos suggested. While it offered decent value for the number of rooms, there were cameras actively monitoring throughout the stay (including near the hot tub), which felt intrusive. Additionally, the numerous notes posted around the house were off-putting and detracted from the overall experience.

Mary’s house was fantastic and the location was everything we could ask for. I was surprised that the house didn’t have a waterpark like it was mentioned in the listing. Also the camera’s and security while on property was something we had to adjust to, but we appreciate that there is an interest in keeping things secured.

Our stay at this VRBO could not have been better. The house is big enough for a large family and more. The host communicated with us clearly and they were very accommodating. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with anything we needed. The hot tub was a hit with the entire family and our kids loved watching movies in the large theater room. The deer in the morning wondering in the yard were fun to wake up to and the view of the lights from the back yard into the valley was stunning. Would definitely stay here again!

This was our third time staying at this home for our winter vacation. Mary has always been very accessible and responsive. Check in is easy with the door code. The kitchen is well stocked, and the garage and driveway are large. We spent every evening in the theater room, watching Netflix and just hanging out together. The cul de sac is quiet but close to restaurants and ski resorts. There were a couple of minor appliance damages from prior renters when we arrived, mainly cosmetic, which Mary was aware of and taking care of. Overall, this home is spacious and family friendly. The best part of this home is the long dining table, which allowed us to all eat together.

A mixed experience
I stayed here with some friends (we’re all professionals in our 50s). On the positive side, the location of the house is great for skiing Little or Big Cottonwood Canyons. Also the kitchen does have most of what you’d need to cook a meal. The big challenge for us was the shocking number of signs around the house telling you what you can’t do, e.g., bring a glass of water anywhere in the house other than the kitchen or dining room (related - why are there coasters next to the beds?). Also the host’s comments related to watching all of the video footage from outside the house is just creepy. Finally I wouldn’t describe the house as luxurious. It’s a rental furnished with the basics.
