***Luxury Mountainside Retreat***
When we decide to take a vacation, we want to go someplace we enjoy...a place we can relax and unwind with family. We're sure you feel the same. Whether you want to relax, see the sights, fish, hike, kayak, swim, boat, snowmobile or snow ski, Utah is the perfect place! And of course, while we're vacationing, we want clean, comfortable accommodations and our home in Sandy fits that description. The home is close to dining and shopping, close to the ski resorts and about 20 minutes from the heart of beautiful Salt Lake City. It is clean, spacious, well maintained and very comfortable.
The minute you step through the door, you'll feel totally comfortable and at home! Kick off your shoes and relax for a minute or two. Kick back in the living room OR the theatre room OR enjoy the view from the deck or the front porch OR play a quick game of pool OR take a soak in the hot tub. As you can see by all the OR'S, there is something for everyone in YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!
The spacious kitchen has everything you need to prepare an awesome meal or a quick snack. There are plenty of dishes, flatware, glasses and cups plus a variety of pots and pans. Spices, napkins, food storage bags, foil, plastic wrap, paper towels, sponges and trash can liners are available in the spacious pantry. Also stored in the pantry are many small appliances including coffee maker, toaster, 2 large and 2 small crockpots, griddle and waffle maker. Also, the pantry is home to a blender, hand mixer, juicer and electric tea kettle. Larger crowd for meals? No worries. There is plenty of sit down dining including a breakfast bar for 4, a dining table for 8 and a larger dining table for 12-14 people...perfect for larger families. The spacious pantry and the cupboard storage is endless...there's a place for anything and everything you bring. If you choose to BBQ outside, there is a BBQ and extra propane in the garage.
The bedrooms are spacious with lots of closet and dresser space. There are extra blankets and pillows in the closets. For babies...two cribs, a high chair and baby gates so they will be very comfortable. All linens are professionally laundered and sanitized. .
The house has a gas furnace/AC. For cooler winter nights, there are 2 gas fireplaces; one in the theatre room and one in the living room.
After a day of sightseeing, skiing, hiking or whatever...you'll enjoy a great night's rest in any one of 13 comfortable beds. Too excited to sleep just yet? Well, you can relax and enjoy TV in the living room, in your bedroom or in the theatre room on a 10-foot drop down screen. You can also enjoy the lights of the city and some quiet time on the deck PLUS there is an awesome view of the Wasatch Mountains from the front porch. As a finishing touch, you can take a relaxing soak in the hot tub (ready at 103 degrees) while enjoying the view of the city lights. Now you are ready for a good night's rest and another adventurous day tomorrow! Before breakfast you might want to sit on the deck or take a peek out the windows and see the deer feasting on the lawn, apple tree and peach tree.
Wondering about parking? Not a problem. The driveway is flat so you can park 6+ cars PLUS a spacious 3-car garage with remote door openers and a graveled area at the north end of the property.
The guest information book on the table contains helpful information about the house including fireplace instructions and the WiFi passwords. And, of course, the owners are available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have. There is a video posted on this site that will show you the property inside and outside.
Family is very important to us and all vacations create special memories that last a lifetime. That is why we make our home family friendly whether it be a family of 6 or as many as 20. Enjoy and thanks!!!

Nice House
Nice House. A million rules everywhere about everything seems kinda excessive but was a nice house comfy beds in the bedrooms some guests complained the bunk beds were not comfortable. Hot tub was nice but under constant surveillance which is awkward. Theater was cool. And back deck was awesome. Check in was easy.

A mixed experience
I stayed here with some friends (we’re all professionals in our 50s). On the positive side, the location of the house is great for skiing Little or Big Cottonwood Canyons. Also the kitchen does have most of what you’d need to cook a meal. The big challenge for us was the shocking number of signs around the house telling you what you can’t do, e.g., bring a glass of water anywhere in the house other than the kitchen or dining room (related - why are there coasters next to the beds?). Also the host’s comments related to watching all of the video footage from outside the house is just creepy. Finally I wouldn’t describe the house as luxurious. It’s a rental furnished with the basics.

Family Trip 2025
House is just as advertised. We only had a small group of 6 but it could easily handle more than twice that amount. Well stocked and plenty of beds. Easy access to the mountains when the road is not closed. (Snowbird/Alta received 43 inches of snow the 4 days we were there) Would certainly use this house again.

Perfect Location for Our Daughter’s Wedding
We had extended family coming together for our daughter’s wedding. The owners were so helpful and great communicators. We had everything we needed and there was plenty of space for everyone (including bridesmaids getting ready in the morning). The neighborhood is quiet and if we hadn’t been so busy, the yard and hot tub looked amazing!

Feel like I got taken advantage of
I was very disappointed in my choice of home I rented especially for the price. It is an older home which is fine but not very accommodating. Many cob webs and dolls and some personal pictures which made us uncomfortable. There is laminated signs everywhere throughout the house, the yard, beds, and tables. The signs were many rules telling you you’ll be charged for random things, it was a very uncomfortable feeling of being paranoid that we possibly could be charged for so many different things. It is not a vacation spot. I felt like it was at my strict grandmother‘s house. The host was nice over the text however the only time we ever interacted is about the AC it did not work and we were in 102° weather. The home was over 82° inside. She told me to open the windows and she would have someone there the next day. I felt I paid way too much money for all of us to be uncomfortable and sweating all night. She did send somebody the but the HVAC system is so old it was taking forever to cool off. Our group went into Salt Lake City to our concert and by the time we got back to the home, the AC unit was not working again. We packed up the next morning and left a day early. We cleaned the house thoroughly because we were so nervous and took pictures of everything so we couldn’t be charged for anything we know we did not do. The signs of rules everywhere was ridiculous. But an AC unit not working and that hot of weather was not OK she knew there was already a problem with the AC.

Nice house and great location
Overall, we enjoyed this house for our gathering of 17 people. Ample sleeping, eating, and activity space for everyone and nice features such as the movie theater room and pool table. Yes, there are a lot of signs and instructions posted throughout, but it didn’t detract once you read them. Properties have rules, no big deal. Most of the rooms and bedrooms had TVs, so those were nice for those who wanted to watch their own shows. As far as the air-conditioning goes, the lower level definitely was more comfortable temperature-wise, but the main level and kitchen struggled quite a bit with the heat, despite us keeping the shades closed and even running fans throughout. Not a deal-breaker, but it was definitely hot on the main level from the afternoon through the night. Communications with the owners were really good. One suggestion: new nonstick cooking pans to use.

Perfect for our family…
First time VRBO user…We were a little nervous not knowing what to expect. We were looking for a place that could accommodate our large extended family with adults, youth and children and the home did not disappoint. Plenty of space for visiting and playing games together. The back yard is perfect for outdoor sports or games for the kids. The hot tub was a big hit during the cool nights, and the theater was very cool. Plenty of dishes and supplies to accommodate our large family. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
