The apartment was perfect for the trip. There was nothing missing to make this a great ski vacation. 20 min to the slopes, perfect. It took us longer to find parking. I would stay there again if available on the next trip.

Jen and David were absolutely great hosts. From helping me to correct my stay dates, to assisting me in allowing some packages to be sent to their home, they were great! The property was extremely nice, and I felt like I was truly at home on my business trip. There are tons of restaurants and other eateries nearby, and my absolute favorite was Libertango Steakhouse. It’s an Argentinian restaurant that is absolutely phenomenal. I can’t wait to visit David and Jen’s Vrbo again!

A great place to stay
Jennifer and David are wonderful, helpful and accommodating hosts! We felt very at-home with all the extra amenities! And the fall/Halloween decorations made our stay even more fun- especially when our 5 yr old granddaughter who lives close by came to visit. Next time we’re visiting our kids, we hope this will be available.

All the Comforts of home
I had a lovely stay. I was showing my standard poodle puppy at the Equestrian Center. It was dusty and dirty. I was so happy to come back to a clean, quiet 'home away from home '. My puppy also enjoyed our walks in the lovely neighborhood. He was so happy and relaxed we finished his AKC Championship and earned his first Grand Champion points as a puppy. We also enjoyed a hike in one of the many close hiking spots within 15 minutes of the property. I would highly recommend a stay at this property. .

A nice, centrally located retreat.
I was recently seeking solo lodging for a three night period during the course of an extended March ski trip to the Cottonwoods and decided to check VRBO for any last minute, available listings. Normally, I probably would've booked one of the nearby hotels for this time duration, but I thought it may be beneficial to have easy washer/dryer access with ski gear in tow. I'm somewhat familiar with the area, having stayed in there on numerous occasions over the past few years and I found the location of this basement apartment to be terrific, especially if you're headed up either of the canyons. It is literally one right turn, then one left turn and you are on your way to Alta/Snowbird. The place was clean, comfortable and well furnished, which did the trick for my short stay. The switch activated fireplace was a nice touch and there was seldom, if any noise heard from above throughout my stay. If I was looking for any negatives, I thought the residential street this was located might be marginally too busy traffic-wise to play street hockey on, but that alone wouldn't prevent me from returning in the future. Thanks again!

Utah ski escape
This property is just perfect for a couple of skiers heading to Utah. My wife and I absolutely loved staying here--so spacious and comfortable, well-appointed and equipped, and close to major ski resorts. All this nestled in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Exactly as described…and confirmed by other reviews before we stayed. This is a great place, in a quiet neighborhood. Private access to a nicely appointed kitchen, living and sleeping area. Well stocked with everything you would need. Great communication with Jennifer the owner made everything as smooth as possible. Convenient location to ski resorts and plenty of food and shopping options very close by. Definitely a keeper for future stays to SLC!

Great location! Very large and the most provisioned property I have ever stayed!
I selected Jen & David's apartment for skiing the Cottonwood Canyon ski areas. Close - Snowbird was 20 minutes by my car or 2 minutes to the ski shuttle. So yes, all of the areas are very close. Their place is quite large and incredibly well stocked. In fact, I've never understood why so many owners stock their properties so poorly. I had drinks with Jen & David in the back yard one evening and I thanked Jen for her attention to detail. I can barely count all the places I've stayed around the world. Mostly the same, so much investment for the property and it's location, only to lack the inexpensive provisions that would be icing on the cake. Kudos to J & D! Very clean, large kitchen and master suite. I'll visit again next ski season (or maybe this fall).

Lovely apartment near the mountains
Had a nice long weekend stay here to get a few days in at Alta, which is a breezy 20 minute drive away (amazing!). The place was clean, well stocked, comfy bed, easy check-in. Great food options right nearby. Big couches & a TV near the fire for the evenings. The only thing to be aware of is the noise from upstairs right above the bed was fairly loud pretty early in the morning (<6AM) - seemed to be a bathroom or kitchen, nothing out of the ordinary but as a light sleeper I needed earplugs.
