OVERVIEW

Iconic creekside mountain home with hot tub, fireplaces, balcony & amazing views

Enjoy the quintessential Alta experience at this outdoor enthusiast's haven right on the banks of Little Cottonwood Canyon Creek, where you'll be treated to an enviable location near the base of Alta’s Westward Ho ski run. As one of the first homes in Alta (built by one of the directors of the Alta Ski School), this home has been beautifully updated to retain the charm of the original structure while offering lavish modern amenities. At the end of a day on the slopes, you can curl up in front of the gas fireplace, read a good book or watch your favorite movie, take a nice soak in the private hot tub on the private balcony, and soak in majestic views of Mt. Superior and Alta Ski Area.

Whether you're planning to watch the snow fall in the winter, wake up to the sounds of the neighboring creek in the summer, or catch a glimpse of the spectacular fall foliage, this home was made for lovers of the outdoors. The house is a short walk or free Alta shuttle ride from the base area lifts, providing you with easy access to some of the most challenging terrain in North America along with a variety of restaurants and shops. The avid skier will also find some of the best backcountry in the world nearby. Come summertime, you'll be within walking distance of hiking trails at Alta and Snowbird, as well as wildflower fields, other natural wonders, and the Hellgate Cliffs - a world-class rock climbing destination.

THINGS TO KNOW:

Open parking with no garage. There is only ONE assigned parking spot.

However, due to the limited amount of public, overnight parking and numerous restrictions on parking and vehicular access during winter storms, it is advised to avoid taking a private car up the canyon to Alta. Parking regulations are strictly enforced.

AWD/4WD: M + S or M/S tires are the minimum requirement. Traction devices such as chains, snow socks, etc., or 3-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) tires are also acceptable and provide the most reliable traction in severe winter conditions to make it safely up the canyon and to the home.

Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is required year-round.

This rental is located on floor 2.

This home is not ideal for young children or guests with mobility issues, as you must walk over 100 feet to reach the front door.

The trail is snowy in winter and snow boots are recommended.

Trip insurance is strongly suggested to purchase during winter visits.

There is a caretaker living on-site in the basement.

No pets/Dogs are allowed in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
