About this property

The Modern Moose! Fully Updated & Minutes from the Best Snow and Hiking on Earth

  • Welcome to the Modern Moose! At the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountain Range and minutes to the greatest snow on earth!

    Location, location, location!

    The Modern Moose is the perfect spot for all your outdoor activities and adventures. It is just minutes from world renown skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, climbing, water activities and wildlife viewing all year long.

    At the same time it is just 20 minutes from the SLC international airport and walking distance to the grocery store, the park and ride, and even a great nail salon for those wanting a more relaxing time while others are on the slopes.

    If location wasn't enough, the Modern Moose, is the perfect amount of luxury and comfort. With 2,800 well designed square feet and an extensive modern remodel, your family/ friends will have plenty of room to relax in the comfort of our home.

    Some days you may want to stay home and just hang out.

    The Moose can comfortably sleep 12 and has two separate gathering areas where your groups can sit, relax, eat, and enjoy each other’s company.

    Each living area has big couches so huge and comfy that once you sit down, you may not want to leave!

    Experience plush designer sheets and bedding, down pillows, plush towels, and all the kitchen appliances you will need to cook your meals.

    There are 3 large flatscreen TVs with streaming capabilities, a downstairs theater room with Wii, basketball, and our newest addition (my favorite), a classic PACMAN arcade game.

    Our brand new back deck has a new sunk in jacuzzi to relax and soak in after a long day on the slopes or hiking.

    The EXTRA large capacity washer and dryer will be very handy for families or large groups.

    There is plenty of parking at The Moose with a 2 car garage and room for two more cars in the driveway as well as extra parking in the parking lot three houses down.

    We do not use a management company. We pride ourselves with personal service and make cleanliness a HIGH PRIORITY. We are always available for contact and will ensure the best service possible!

    Welcome to the Moose!

Great access point with all the amenities

Great place, very comfortable for two families of four. Location for skiing was excellent! Only downsides were the road noise as it backs onto a busy road and neighbor noise as it is a condo. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

We had a wonderful Christmas stay! The house was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The location was ideal with easy access to multiple ski resorts, and the hot tub was a nice bonus after a long day of skiing. Shay even put out some lovely Christmas decorations which made it feel like home. We would love to stay here again!

Early August, we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful condo and were especially grateful for responsiveness of hosts/owners. On our hikes we saw moose and beavers, lots of western birds. Highly recommend.
