The Modern Moose! Fully Updated & Minutes from the Best Snow and Hiking on Earth

Welcome to the Modern Moose! At the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountain Range and minutes to the greatest snow on earth!

Location, location, location!

The Modern Moose is the perfect spot for all your outdoor activities and adventures. It is just minutes from world renown skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, climbing, water activities and wildlife viewing all year long.

At the same time it is just 20 minutes from the SLC international airport and walking distance to the grocery store, the park and ride, and even a great nail salon for those wanting a more relaxing time while others are on the slopes.

If location wasn't enough, the Modern Moose, is the perfect amount of luxury and comfort. With 2,800 well designed square feet and an extensive modern remodel, your family/ friends will have plenty of room to relax in the comfort of our home.

Some days you may want to stay home and just hang out.

The Moose can comfortably sleep 12 and has two separate gathering areas where your groups can sit, relax, eat, and enjoy each other’s company.

Each living area has big couches so huge and comfy that once you sit down, you may not want to leave!

Experience plush designer sheets and bedding, down pillows, plush towels, and all the kitchen appliances you will need to cook your meals.

There are 3 large flatscreen TVs with streaming capabilities, a downstairs theater room with Wii, basketball, and our newest addition (my favorite), a classic PACMAN arcade game.

Our brand new back deck has a new sunk in jacuzzi to relax and soak in after a long day on the slopes or hiking.

The EXTRA large capacity washer and dryer will be very handy for families or large groups.

There is plenty of parking at The Moose with a 2 car garage and room for two more cars in the driveway as well as extra parking in the parking lot three houses down.

We do not use a management company. We pride ourselves with personal service and make cleanliness a HIGH PRIORITY. We are always available for contact and will ensure the best service possible!

Welcome to the Moose!

Thanksgiving at the Moose
We had a wonderful stay at the Modern Moose for the week of Thanksgiving. The house is adorable and was just perfect for us! It is in a beautiful location, it looks just like it does in the photos, it was really spread out and roomy, and we cooked up a storm. It really felt like a home away from home. It was spotless, and seamless as far as figuring things out. Communication with the owner was very timely to answer any of our questions. It truly was a great find! I'd love to stay there again!

A beautiful condo 20 minutes - or less - from hiking and wildlife
Early August, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful condo and were especially grateful for responsiveness of hosts/owners. On our hikes we saw moose and beavers, lots of western birds. Highly recommend.

Soccer Tournament Stay
We enjoyed a long weekend stay at the Modern Moose! The house was beautiful and fully accommodated 3 players and their parents! It was clean and fully stocked with kitchen and bathroom items. The condo is also conveniently located within walking distance to an Kroger grocery store and coffee shop! Shay was amazing to work with! Our girls made it out of pool play and went on to play two more days and Shay was flexible in allowing us to stay extra days! We will definitely will be returning to the Modern Moose if the opportunity arises!

Best house ever!
We came from NM and CA for a family reunion and anniversary celebration over Memorial Day weekend. We were delighted to find a fully stocked kitchen with lots of room for all of us to cook. We were so pleased to find enough real plates and silverware for all of us. The house has so much room that we could be together when we wanted and alone when we wanted. The hot tub was warm and bubbly. Every bedside has a USB charger! Everything we could have wished for was there. Additionally, if it was ski season, the Snow Bus stop is just across the street. Grocery store nearby. It was the best ever!

A reunion to remember!
This rental was the home base for our 10 year college reunion and it was totally perfect! The house comfortably slept 8 adults. Over the weekend, we had an intimate dinner with fifteen people, we played party games, and we had a big dessert open house with additional friends and family. It was the ideal rental in every way. Perfect for hosting and catching up with loved ones.

Wonderful Home
This is a fantastic townhome which our family of 5 really enjoyed! It’s a great space for visiting Brighton, Solitude, Alta, Snowbird and the Nordic center as we did for skiing, snowboarding and cross country + snowshoeing. The 4 bedrooms and 2 large, very comfortable sectionals were amazing while we made good use of the large and very well stocked kitchen for breakfast and dinner. Really appreciated the large kitchen table. The hot tub and basement activities were fantastic for our evenings. We really liked the style of this place and appreciated it’s touches like the boot dryer and garage ski rack. Our oldest, less experienced daughter did very well at Solitude with greens and blues. We had wonderful fresh powder. We don’t recommend Snowbird unless you’ve had fresh snow, it’s steep and gets dangerously icy. We will be back!! This is our 4th time in 2 years to the area. It’s just gorgeous and the ski resorts so easy and quick to drive to ( they do close road for 3 hours if an avalanche covers parts of the road, pay attention to U Dot. But snow removal is very efficient here!) The Modern Moose is amazing!!

Great place for family time!
Modern Moose was a great home base for our family over a long ski trip. The kitchen made it easy to cook big meals, the dining room table let us all sit together, and the bedrooms offered good spaces to rest/relax. Thanks for providing a great place for family time! There were many small things we liked: -modern and well-designed interior with plenty of space for our family of 8 -comfortable beds/linens -large dining room table that seats 10 -very cozy living room couch -well equipped kitchen -convenient location for getting to ski slopes -easy parking for 3 cars (including garage space for 1 medium-sized vehicle) -there are lots of hiking trails nearby as well as a park -ski boot/glove dryer -good washer/dryer -the driveway was quickly shoveled after a big storm A few things to be aware of: -the home is right on Wasatch Blvd, which generates quite a bit of road noise all day/night especially in one of the upstairs bedrooms -the hot tub is set at 91 degrees when you arrive; be sure to turn it up a few hours before you want to hop in -there's only one thermostat for the whole house, but the temperature stays fairly even throughout; bedrooms can get a little chilly at night but the blankets are warm

Does not disappoint!
Stayed here with a friend group to hit the slopes and it was one of the best places we've rented in SLC in our 10+ year run. Very convenient access to both canyon roads/resorts and the renovations in the home are much better than the rest of the rental stock in the area. Will definitely look to book again when we're back in the area.

Great times at the Modern Moose
Six adults had a great stay at The Modern Moose. We loved this place. VERY clean and everything seemed brand new. Location is perfect to hit Alta-Snowbird ( an easy 15-20 minutes away) or we even ventured up Big Cottonwood Canyon to ski Brighton (40-minutes) easily. Big city amenities are also nearby - we did our shopping at Trader Joe's and found some great restaurants, like Hoof and Vine (Yummmm!). We look forward to our next visit.

Wonderful stay! Only 20min to 4 ski resorts!
This property was wonderful for our family of seven. There were three good size bedrooms upstairs, and one in the downstairs. Our teenagers loved staying in the downstairs bedroom, and they enjoyed the Wii games, Pop-A-Shot, and Ms. Pac-Man machine down there! The big couch downstairs, and in the family room were wonderful for everyone to lounge around and watch movies at night. The hot tub was amazing after a day of skiing. The location of the property was perfect and only about 20 minutes to ski Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude. A little farther about 45 minutes to get to Deer Valley and Park City. Grocery store and everything else you need is only five minutes away. The owner Shay was a pleasure to work with and easy to text with if you have any questions. I highly recommend this property and hope that we can return some time in the future!

Fall Friendcation
It's hard to limit all the great things this property has to offer in a short summary but I will do my best. Its location is about 2 minutes from the mouth of the canyon and sits just below the mountains, so if you want to hike, mountain bike, sight see, you can't really pick a better property. The property is also close to great restaurants, grocery stores and a beautiful park if you just want to breath some fresh air. The actual property looks updated, it's clean, well kept, spacious, and has great furniture, beds, bathrooms, and a large kitchen that accommodates large groups. We had a few guests for dinner and they raved about the property. The hosts are attentive, helpful, and kind. We had a small issue with the water heater and it was fixed quickly and effectively. Texts were responded to quickly and its was just a pleasure interacting with Shay. All this to say, we all greatly appreciated you opening your house to us. We shared some great memories and met knew friends and this property accommodated a great experience. I would stay here again with friends and I would most definitely stay here with my family as well.
