Updated, cozy private basement suite - 25 min to skiing

Welcome to our updated, cozy 2 bed 2 bath basement suite with a private entrance. You'll have the entire basement to yourself. We've done everything we can to make it a place we'd love to stay. We hope you love staying in it too! Entrance is through the gate and around behind the left of the garage.

You can't find a better location to stay when visiting the greater Salt Lake Area. We're right between the two Cottonwood canyons within 28 min or less from 4 world class ski resorts, back country skiing, rock climbing, biking, and many more activities up the canyons. You're near the 3 major freeways (I-15, I-80, and I-215) which means you can get anywhere you want in Utah. Even if you need to go beyond the Salt Lake Valley the freeway access makes it easy to get on the way.

We offer a fully functional and stocked home and kitchen. We try to offer everything you'd need to live here while staying here. The kitchen includes all the needed cookware and appliances to make a great home cooked meal (e.g. spice rack, oven/range, blender, microwave, keurig and drip coffee makers, air fryer, instapot, crock pot, rice cooker, sugar, flour, butter, knife set, serving utensils, etc). All bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap. Linens and towels are provided. There's a smart TV, high chair, toys and games for all ages, a dedicated work space, and more.

You'll have access to dedicated off street parking. You're welcome to park 1-2 cars on the far left of the driveway when facing the house. Please make sure the cars are not blocking access to the garage or pull through driveway. If you have more vehicles than fit on the left of the driveway you're welcome to park on the street.

While the apartment is updated and nice, we do live upstairs with a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 2 older cats. The home is 30 years old with good bones but you might hear foot noise from us and/or the animals. We've added noise proofing in the ceiling above the bedrooms to help with this. We'll do everything we can to be accommodating. We want you to enjoy our home and its location as much as we do. If you need us to be a little quieter, the temperature adjusted, or anything else please message us right away.

We're both active outdoor recreational-ists. We're often starting our day with a quick morning backcountry ski tour or the gym. If you'd like to chat about the local spots we're happy to share what we know and try to give some pointers.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 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.

Great location!

This place is wonderful and we will definitely be back! So clean and kid friendly. The beds were so comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed (and more). The location was perfect as it wasn’t far from any of the places we went to like the aquarium, water park, the stadium. 10/10 recommend!!!

Clean and quiet.

Check in process, instructions and communication was all wonderful. The basement is spacious and the bonus of 2 bathrooms was perfect. For those concerned about staying cool in the summer without your own thermostat, we had no problem at all. All beds are memory foam with plenty of bedding. Great place to stay!

Perfect Spring Getaway

We traveled to Utah with my wife, father in law and I to do some end of the season spring skiing. The vrbo was perfect! Very clean, organized, and had all accommodations needed. The location is also great in a nice neighborhood and only 30 min to Brighton and Solitude. Our host Chris was very friendly, knowledgeable with great communication. Will definitely be saving this vrbo for future ski trips.

Fantastic base of operations for skiing

We recently stopped in SLC for a few days of skiing while driving from Seattle to Boulder. This basement suite turned out to be the perfect base of operations for our adventure. Although the title says “cozy” don’t read that to mean “small”. It’s actually quite spacious and the three of us had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. In addition to being roomy, it was also both immaculate and incredibly well equipped. There’s a laundry room with boot driers and storage for ski gear. The bathrooms were modern, super clean and well equipped. Likewise, the kitchen is stocked with every appliance and utensil you could possibly want. The single hitch that we came across is that the hot water in the shower takes a bit to actually get hot. Probably due to a long run from the heater to the shower head. But once there, it’s HOT and with plenty of pressure. The location itself is great. Mere minutes to Little Cottonwood Canyon as well as easy access to the rest of SLC. Communication with the host was timely and informative and the check-in process could not have been easier. The entire rental experience was frictionless - easily one of the best I’ve had. The host has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making this a great place to stay and we’ll certainly be back the next time we’re in SLC.

Location, location, location!

Newly renovated 2 BR basement apartment in Cottonwood Heights. 25 minute drive to Little Cottonwood Canyon resorts (Snowbird, Alta) and 20 minutes to Big Cottonwood Canyon resorts (Solitude, Brighton). Very close to the 215 freeway so only about 40 minutes to the Park City resorts. If you're a skier, or outside of winter a hiker and/or mountain biker this location can't be beat! All the appliances in the fully stocked kitchen are new, as are the full sized washer and dryer, and also the bathrooms. Plenty of space for up to 8 guests. The area has lots of shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, and is only about 15 minutes to downtown SLC. The hosts Cheree and Chris (and Millie the 2 year old Bernadoodle) couldn't be nicer, in fact we became FB friends and will probably keep in touch in the future. Next time my wife and I come to SLC to ski we will definitely stay here again!
