Unbeatable location for skiing -- and sparkling clean to boot!

This very clean and roomy basement apartment is a great home base for skiing Snowbird/Alta. Snowbird is a very quick trip up the canyon! The hosts are very friendly and fun -- and made it a very easy home away from home.

Wonderful property to stay in. Indoor parking so no need to scrape the windows before heading up to the slopes on the return a boot drier is all set up to use. Kitchen is full sized and well equipped, laundry in the unit and a cozy gas fireplace to keep you toasty.

Great location for skiing

We stayed 3 nights and skied three different ski areas. It was easy to drive to each of them. The owners of the apartment are skiers too and gave us great information about the different areas. The apartment was downstairs in their home and it was nicely furnished and easy to access through the garage where a parking space was available. Dottie and Steve were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again on another trip to ski at Snowbird and Alta or even the other areas which are a longer drive.

Wonderful Stay!

My wife and I wanted to get away for a weekend and have time to simply relax. The property owners were very accommodating in allowing us to bring my wife's service animal with us. The hot tub was wonderful, and the rooms were spacious and beautiful. It's very close to the mountains and some trailheads. The only thing we didn't love was the bed. We would gladly come back again.

Super clean and great location to the slopes

This is a very tastefully done basement. Unless you are aware you won't even realize that it is a basement. Alta and Snowbird being not far away is a plus. Dottie was super easy to communicate and she went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. We'll certainly be coming back.

Excellent base to ski Big and Little Cottonwood canyons

The location really can’t be beat… it took us less than 20 minutes to get to Alta/Snowbird from the house. Dottie is very nice and parking in the garage is very convenient. Be aware that this unit is a basement apartment with the owners living upstairs… so there will be the normal aspects of downstairs living (walking and talking above you.) The unit is spacious for two people and the kitchen is well equipped. Laundry in unit is also very convenient. We would recommend that there be about a dozen more hangers for the walk-in closet, as well as a few more hand towels for the bathroom. There was a spa and bathrobes available for our use, but we didn’t avail ourselves. The welcome chocolates were a nice touch.

Cottonwood Ski Trip

My wife, son, and I had a fantastic week-long stay in Dottie's downstairs apartment. It is nicely furnished, just as shown in the photos, and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils. Dottie and her husband Steve are exceptionally gracious and welcoming hosts. Both are avid skiers who shared excellent advice about the various ski resorts in the area. Snowbird and Alta are an easy 15-20 minute drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon, and Brighton and Solitude are about half an hour away in Big Cottonwood. We also made the drive to Park City one afternoon which was about forty five minutes. Their Jacuzzi is a nice bonus after a day on the mountain. They also gave us a garage door opener and a parking spot in their garage, which is appreciated in the snow. You access the apartment directly from the garage. One thing we also appreciated was that the home's elevation at approximately 4,500 feet meant that we never felt any effects of the altitude, unlike when you're staying at 7,000 or 8,000 ft. Overall, this is an ideal home-base for skiing the Cottonwood Canyons, located in a very nice residential neighborhood right at the base of the Wasatch Mountains.

Dottie's rental was really fantastic! Great communication, super clean and comfortable and easy access. We stayed here to go skiing at Snowbird, and it was the perfect location for that! It was located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood about 10 miles from the slopes. Thanks for letting us stay in your home and we look forward to coming back in the future.

Good location

Good location, nice quiet neighborhood at the base of the mountains. There is easy access to both canyons, but it's especially easy to get to LCC for Snowbird and Alta. Parking in the garage right outside the unit's entrance made hauling our gear painless. The unit was clean and quiet but there is no television service. If you want to watch tv be sure to bring your own Roku, Chromecast, HDMI cord, etc. Hot tub was available but we did not use, I'm sure it's nice though. Overall, this rental was a good value.
