wonderful property, excellent location for skiing

Emma's place was perfect for our family ski trip with 18 and 22 year olds, the pool table got tons of use from our 22 year old and the location close to the mouth of Little Cottonwood was terrific for skiing. The appliances, fixtures, and furnishings all felt high end, decor was fun and eclectic, the hot tub was great, and Emma was very helpful and communicative. We liked the quiet setting in a neighborhood. Kitchen was well equipped (counter top over was fine), and everything was very clean. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Stay-cation destination- beautiful amd just what our family needed

It was clean, cozy, and quiet. Very nice and welcoming- I didn’t fear my kids breaking or touching belongings they could possibly break and that making me a nervous wreck - it is cutely decorated but the sense of family and had a lot of towel warmers! The hot tub was clean and worked!!

Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was stocked with absolutely anything we could have needed. The pool table and air hockey table kept our family entertained for hours. The patio was secluded and private and we always felt like we were at the property with just our family. The location was nearby so many beautiful hikes and outdoor activities. I didn’t want to leave! We saw deer while sitting on the patio every night which my kids loved! We would love to stay again during future trips to Utah!

Such A Cute Spot!

We really enjoyed our stay. The kids had fun playing pool and loved the big hot tub. The yard was beautiful and felt private with all the trees. The owners are great to work with. Close to town and all the other things we were doing. Our only wish was for another bathroom. I assumed it had two but there is only one, so sharing one bathroom with 8 people was a bit tricky but we managed.
