You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Located near the mouth of American Fork Canyon
Why waste time? Stay close to American Fork Canyon with awesome rock climbing, hiking and mountain biking just 5 minutes away. Visiting family? Why bunk with your nephew when you can rent your own place and escape the drama! The bunk room used to be two bedrooms and the living space is generous, so even if you have a few people you are not crowded. This unit is the entire upstairs with no shared spaces. A quiet family lives downstairs and just had a baby so please plan to respect the quiet hours between 10 PM and 6 AM. The mountain views from the back yard are fantastic, and the location is perfect if you need to be close to Alpine, Highland or Cedar Hills.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be within walking distance of Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The vacation home includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.

Highland Home
We really enjoyed this property. The backyard is huge and our dogs loved running around. The house was clean and we felt safe and secure during our stay. The view out back is of mountains. We contacted the host once with a question and he promptly responded. I would rent this property again!

We enjoyed our stay at this was a great little vacation rental! It had everything we needed for our vacation. I especially loved that I could have all the kids in one room. While there were a few hiccups with checking in, our host was quick to resolve the issues. We would stay here again!

We had a great stay! The house made for a comfy base camp for 4 adults and a dog, and the fenced in back yard was great for sitting outside in the sun while the pup stretched her legs.

Stay in Utah
Our stay was good. We arrived on Christmas Day very late so when we needed to find groceries the next morning it wasn’t too hard. There was plenty of cozy blankets and room for my family. It’s close to the canyon for exploring. Parking was easy and the location was not hard to find. The view from the back window was beautiful as the sun was rising.

Beautiful Stay
We took our Phoenix, AZ family on a family vacation up to see some real snow in Utah and we were not disappointed. The house was just as described and the view out the back door was breath taking. The kids loved playing in the snow in the large front yard. The location was great for accessing the other location we intended on visiting on our stay.

Sweet and comfy!
It was a great little spot with a comfortable layout and great view. My favorite room had to be the back room with all the bunk beds. I didn’t stay in there personally but I always found myself gravitating towards it and hanging out with my friends. Highly recommend this location!

Nice home away from home
We stayed here for a 7 nights. We really enjoyed our time here as it was close to everything we need/wanted to do. Great location, sufficient amount of space, nice yard, clean house, nice neighbors below. The only thing I'd suggest is to provide steak knives and paper towels.

Great place for a family
I hate to start with the one and only negative but I want to make sure that the reader knows. There's a downstairs tenant and strict quiet hours! My group was a group of 8 moms looking for a local get away and we had a blast! The place was beautiful and clean. It was close to food places, snowshoeing in the mountains and a spa retreat. (All activities we had a great time doing while we were there!) The owner was very kind and quick to respond to a repair to the garbage disposal. The beds we comfy and the kitchen was well stocked!! We had zero complaints except that the downstairs tenants came upstairs at 9:45pm and told us to be quiet because they had a sleeping baby. (We were playing Pit, a loud game). The reason we wanted a house instead of a hotel is because we wanted to stay up late talking, laughing and having a great time with out worrying about disturbing anyone around us. This house was not the house for that. That should have been written more prominently in the listing. I went back to see if it ever even said that there was a basement tenant and it's hidden at the end of the listing. In my opinion, when you have a tenant that has a little baby you need to disclose that in the introduction summary. That's the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.
I'm sorry to the owner and the tenant. I know we were a loud group.

Wonderful Stay
We enjoyed the opportunity to stay at this property. It was perfectly situated for everything we wanted to do and just outside the hustle and bustle of the city. We got to see deer in the back yard, take a quick drive up the canyon and spend quality time together as family. The house was set up very well and met all our needs.

Would love to come again
We picked this home because of the dining room setup for our Thanksgiving stay. There were plenty of place settings and it was just lovely. It was definitely a bonus that the king bed was super comfy, the hot water was plentiful and the internet was fast. Plus the host made everything a breeze. We are truly grateful for an easy stay just minutes from the store, the canyon, and our local relatives.

Great base camp, very comfortable.
The location is a little ways away from the heart of town, but nice and quiet. The home was supplied with everything we needed. The driveway can be missed easily at night because it is dark, but maps will take you straight there.
Would recommend and would stay here again.

Clean Comfy Home with Postcard View
The pictures don't do this place justice. The couch and the bed were so comfortable. I've started accepting the fact that my back is going to hurt in the morning when staying away from home. This bed was just as comfortable, if not more, than my bed at home. The blankets were also super soft. It was hard to get up in the morning, until I remembered the view that would meet me from the kitchen window. It looked like an absolute postcard looking straight into the mountains. The backyard is also huge and our little dogs had so much fun exploring it. I don't think you'll find a better value.
