Other Details to Note

Hello! I'm Justin and I am the owner of the home and your Airbnb host. I live alone upstairs and take great pride in providing the best possible experiences for my guests, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, recommendations, or requests. I work remotely from home as a leadership coach for a company here locally in UT. Also, please note that guests are only allowed 2 parking spaces in the driveway, and street parking is not allowed per city ordinance for short-term rentals. If you need accommodation for additional cars, please contact me for approval before booking. The hot tub is available upon request, with advance notice only to ensure it’s prepared for your arrival. Please inform me at booking or prior to your stay if you plan to use the hot tub, and I’ll be happy to review the usage guidelines. This allows me to heat and balance it properly, as it is not typically kept hot outside of guest bookings.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

Located walking distance of trails, parks, and amazing views of the Wasatch Mountains. For my skier and snowboarded guests, I am a 5 min drive from a UTA Ski Park & Ride (approx 2000 east and 9400 south) with easy access to Alta and Snowbird. If you prefer to drive, I am approximately 25 minutes from Alta and Snowbird ski resorts in Little Cottonwood Canyon and about 35 minutes from Brighton, Solitude in Big Cottonwood Canyon. These drive times are approximate and do not factor in traffic which can increase drive times significantly during ski season. Please plan accordingly. I am also a short 12 minute drive from the Mountain America Expo Center. $10-15 Uber ride to most of these places depending on day/time.

Guest Access

Guests have exclusive access to the entire apartment, accessible through a private entrance for a seamless, independent stay. Two dedicated parking spots are conveniently located near the entrance. The backyard is available for outdoor relaxation when landscaping work is not in progress. If you’d like to use this space, please let me know in advance, and I’ll do my best to accommodate. The hot tub is available upon request, with advance notice to ensure it’s prepared for your arrival. Please inform me at booking or prior to your stay if you plan to use the hot tub, and I’ll be happy to review the usage guidelines including the hours of use from 7 am - 10 pm.

Great option if you're skiing the Cottonwood Canyons. With one bathroom, 4 adults is probably the maximum capacity. Hot tub was nice, but jets didn't work on the 2nd day. If you're not tech-savvy, the TV can be difficult to figure out. All in all, a great value.

My friends and I booked Justin's place for a ski trip. It sits right outside the entrance to Little Cottonwood Canyon. It's in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, and we needed a place that had multiple bedrooms and beds for four people. The house was very easy to find and the instructions to check-in, where to park, codes for the garage/entrance etc. were all listed in the instructions. We booked this place as it had a hot tub, and if you let Justin know you will be using it during your stay, it will be prepped and ready. As some might find a drawback being the single bathroom, it comes with tons of extra towels, and a very large towel rack in the bathroom to accommodate all those staying. The unit is downstairs under the main part of the house, and is fully stocked. Justin does an extra good job to ensure you are enjoying your stay. We loved staying here and highly recommend it to anyone needing a place close to the resorts. Thank you Justin for the amazing accomidations!

Staying at Justin’s place was perfect for our group ski trip! We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and close proximity to the ski resorts. Justin was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed.

Super clean, beds were very comfortable, and had every amenity! The kitchen and bathroom was completely stocked. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax after a long day skiing and Justin was a great and responsive host.

6 of us stayed in Justins basement for a ski trip and it couldn't have gone better! Right near the base of little cottonwood canyon for great skiing. Some great hikes with horses nearby as well.

Justin’s place was great and he was a great host! He was very responsive and helpful with our needs. We loved being able to drive 20 mins up the mountain to cooler weather and pine trees! We hope to come back in the winter and do some snowboarding!

This place was the perfect home away from home as I attended a music institute with four of my kids. It felt safe, clean, the hot tub was amazing. Stay here.

My family stayed at Justin's place for a family wedding we were in town to attend and we were immediately made to feel right at home. Facility was excellent and Justin kindly checked in on us frequently to see if we needed anything. He was also a great tour guide to the "out-of-towners". If we visit Salt Lake again then we'll definitely be back, thx Justin!
