Potentially Great, But Not There Yet
This villa has such great bones, the layout itself was great for our family. The kitchen to open dining is nice, and just a step down and you’re in an open living room with a large sectional sofa. The house has updated flooring and some new decor. However, the property is not maintained well. The backyard was a nightmare. The patio is peeling and old, a stair is loose, and overall in desperate need of being replaced. The patio also had a bees nest underneath the first step. Walking out the front door you’re greeted with some more large weeds and a wasp nest in the front porch light and and ant hill by the welcome mat. Inside there are baseboards that aren’t on, flooring incomplete, an exhaust fan downstairs that after being on for 20 minutes starts “screaming”, and paint that needs to be touched up on the stairs due to a patch job. The master shower, while beautiful, is quite small and the doors to the shower don’t perfectly close so water can escape. The kitchen has an old oven, that needs to be replaced along with almost all their pots and pans. Dangerously, they have an exposed and cracked porcelain soap dish where someone could get hurt in their upstairs bathroom. Overall, we were disappointed. The place looks nice in the photos and I expected something as nice as you get with a hotel, but with the convenience of being in a home. And this was not the case with this residence. Maybe one day it’ll get there. But it wasn’t during our stay.

Great launch pad to access Little and Big Cottonwood
Amazing value in a quiet little development. You would not notice that it's a duplex. Great access to Solitude/Brighton/Snowbird/Alta ski hills (Make sure you have 4x4 for snow days in the canyons). Great Kitchen/Livingroom area with lots of room for socializing. Wifi worked great the entire trip. Has a nice ski cottage feel. Definitely recommend

Don't stay here!
While this condo is in a great location, and the pictures are nice, don't let that deceive you. The condo is not as big as the pictures portray. We found dirty glasses, a broken refrigerator door and a half empty small hot tub that we needed to call them to re-clean after we arrived. This is clearly used only for rental purposes, and it shows. They only show you the nice bedrooms in the ad. Also the renters are NOT true to their word. There are plenty of other places to stay in this community I suggest you rent one of them.

Great location! Lots of room.
This is a perfect location for skiing Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, and Brighton. Pictures are very accurate. Sarah is very responsive and helpful. We had 2 families of 5 and there was plenty of room.

Super location, super property!
Had a great stay at this property. The owners were very easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. The property is newly remodeled and is very modern. It is exactly as described, in fact better than the pictures and description. The location is perfect for anyone who needs quick access to big or little cottonwood canyon. This has been the best VRBO property that I have rented! Very highly recommended, you will be pleased.

Fantastic Mountain Getaway
We had a great stay! Check in was a breeze and Sarah was awesome to work with. She was super easy going but available when we needed her. We could tell she worked hard to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and cozy and had everything we needed, and you can’t get a better location being so close to the canyons. We had a great experience and we will definitely be coming back!
