Bait and Switch - You Get What You Pay For... Would Avoid.

We booked this unit solely based on location and hot tub for a ski tripThe hot tub never worked, and then the host Adam tried to tell us there was an upcharge to use the hot tub (lol, that is NOT a thing and at the time of our booking, was listed no where on his vrbo listing. What was shown was HOT TUB in the TITLE of the listing. We also had many other issues:1. Hot tub did not work and also produced gross brown foam and bubbles (was at 90 degrees and never got warmer) 2. Not having the door code until 2.5 hours after check in time3. The shower curtain had pink mold all over it, leading to concerns about the overall cleanliness of the rest of the home. (Adam did come address this within 24 hours)4. Absolutely insane noise from neighbors upstairs, starting at 6am every day. We were told they were remote workers in EST, but foot steps woke us up literally every morning (as other guests have noted in their reviews)5. Dishwasher doesn't have a door for the soap dispenser internally so dishes do not get cleaned, even after 2 - 3 cycles.6. Inside of the washing machine smelled moldy so we did not do laundry7. Microwave was oddly underpowered/inconsistentBased on the size of the "garden level unit", I would not recommend staying here with any more than 6 people. Luckily we only had 4. There were two nice things:1. Location - great for ski access, 30 min to all resorts2. Dog friendly fenced in yardAdam did comp a bare minimum amount, but do not recommend

Conveniently Located, but Comes with Annoyances

This place is in a prime spot for getting to the Cottonwood Canyons, but we ran into several issues that made our stay less enjoyable. One of the main problems is the minimal soundproofing in the ceiling, which meant we heard loud footsteps and things dropping from the upstairs unit at all hours. Flushing the main toilet also triggered a strange gurgling in the nearby kitchen sink, producing a slight odor. The second bathroom’s shower had very poor water pressure. Additionally, the property has two narrow driveways: one requires a sharp angle and is quite steep, while the other has a pronounced dip. If your car doesn’t have enough clearance, be prepared to scrape the bottom. Finally, be aware that most deliveries—whether food or packages—tend to be dropped off at the upstairs unit instead of this one.

Great Location in Salt Lake

We stayed here while our house was being renovated. Adam is awesome and easy to communicate with. Made the stay easy and was very responsive. For our stay being able to have space for all of us and to be able to bring the dogs were our biggest priorities. And of course location. Easy highway access and close to shopping plaza. The place is well maintained and clean. Wouldn't hesitate to stay at this house or any of Adams other locations.

Adam S., Lancaster, PA

Nice property and location but a number of issues.

The property was spacious and kitchen was well stocked. Great location for getting to the cottonwood canyons. Unfortunately there were a number of issues during our stay that were quite frustrating. The first is that the ceiling has poor sound insulation so the footsteps of guests in unit above us were quite loud and woke all light sleepers in our group up with their early wake up time. The hot tub was also quite gross. It had a layer of brown spots around the water line and was a quite off green color. The dishwasher was broken, it didn’t have the piece to hold the detergent so the items would not come out clean. The toilet in the master bedroom had an issue and doesn’t flush properly so it took multiple flushes to work and had a sewage line smell after flushing. Shower in the second bathroom had terrible water pressure so everyone ended up using the master shower. Pool cues were all broken so no ability to use that table. And lastly the maid showed up an hour before checkout time which caused a good deal of confusion and rushing. One or two of these issues and it wouldn’t have been a big deal but all together it caused an unsatisfactory visit.

Mother's Day

This review is very late but I wanted to give our review of this VRBO that we stayed in over Mother's Day weekend. We were in town to help my daughter find a place to live as she had just accepted a job in SLC. After researching many VRBO's we found this place and thought it would be perfect for our family for the long weekend and it also allowed pets too. We brought our small dog with us. The owner was very accommodating when I reached out and asked if we could check in earlier since we were arriving earlier in the day and also when I asked if we could check out a little later on Mother's Day as my husband and kids wanted to take me out for brunch before we left and we needed a place to keep our dog. This place was very dog friendly and they even had out dog bowls and a fenced in area in the back yard for our dog to walk around. The VRBO itself was good size and the bedrooms were plenty big too. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were stocked with all the essentials. Kitchen was plenty big and had anything you would need to prepare a meal there. We had many laughs around the kitchen table. We also chose to heat the hot tub which was an extra fee but we enjoyed it very much at night. It would be perfect when booking this VRBO for a ski week. Highly recommend this VRBO for your next ski vacation or short term stay. We were very pleased and had a great time.

Great Stay/ Great Experience

My husband and I fulfilled a bucket list trip! We stayed and skied in Utah for 6 weeks. The Olympus Cove property was perfect! Perfect location. Close to a large number of ski resorts, grocery stores and restaurants. Basically anything you might need very close by. The unit had everything one would need and more. The place was very clean upon arrival. Well appointed kitchen and bedrooms. We felt very much at home here. There was also a jacuzzi which was great at the end of a day of skiing! We brought our dog as well and he greatly enjoyed the hikes and dog parks that were close by. Adam, the property manager, was awesome! Responded promptly with any questions or needs. Overall, I would highly recommend this property.

Well equipped and comfortable house w great location

This was a great place to stay for the end of my friend and family group's backcountry ski trip to SLC. It is ridiculous how well equipped this house is, w all the extras you could want in the kitchen and bathrooms. Only hiccup for us was not noticing in the check-in instructions that is was the downstairs unit of a two story house, but Adam returned my call promptly and quickly sorted us out. We'd stay here again for sure.

Top notch place in SLC!

We rented this place for our family while we were in SLC for a wedding. What a gem! The location was perfect for us, very central to all the activities of the weekend. The unit itself was fabulous! I've never seen a better stocked VBRO. Literally everything and anything you need was provided. The host was so friendly and responsive. We had a couple hiccups with things like the keypad on the door (but he had a backup key available so it wasn't an issue) and the coffee pot (our bad, not his) and he was so prompt to come to our aid. My child asked if we could move to that house instead of our house because he was so enamored with all the toy options available and ping pong table. :-) The only downside and reason for a 4 star review is that the upstairs tenants while we were there had 2 large (beautiful) dogs that were active all hours of the night which made sleeping in one of the bedrooms a challenge. Luckily there are 3 bedrooms so some shifting around was doable and all was well! All in all I would definitely recommend this spot!

How can I give more than 5 stars!?!?

I have to say this was an amazing experience using VRBO and booking with ADAM! The place was more than perfect, so much space for the kids to play with the ping pong table and the dogs to lounge around without having to feel clustered. The adults were able to enjoy time as well without the kiddos being on top. The rooms were super spacious too! Adam provided incredible check-in details making it so easy and stress free at the arrival. The area is incredible aswell, lots of options to walk and explore through the neighborhood or straight into a DOG FRIENDLY CAYNON! ( few in Utah ) the little shopping center 3 min walk, provided all the needs, the car was barely used which allowed us to truly enjoy our outdoors time. Adam also provided so many amenities, it was great to see how detailed and a great host he is. The place was spotless, the beds super comfy and the bathrooms had separate areas so one could be showering while the other brushing teeth and no one was fighting for bathroom time. ( kids bathroom) Master bed / bath gave privacy to the adults when needed! Decor!! A+++ so many fun and ecclectic things to look at. Dogs had a little pen outside that made our life a lot easier when we just needed them to have their time aswell. This was a great stay in a great house in a great location.

This place is everything it was advertised to be and more. The space was clean and spacious, with lots of natural light. Beds were comfortable, nice big screen TV in the living area and the ping pong/pool table was a nice touch that our crew really enjoyed. But what impressed us the most was how well-appointed it was. Adam has thought of absolutely everything. If you forget something, there's a very good chance it's there. Made our stay so much more seamless and enjoyable. Adam is a great host, very communicative and always on point if a question pops up. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in SLC to ski!
