Location: Provo, Utah, USA (10 mins from Provo; 5 mins from Sundance Ski Resort)
Accommodations: House/Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
This cabin is really more of a small house located at Vivian Park up the Provo Canyon. The backyard borders on the South Fork of the Provo River, which merges with the Provo River about 200 yards downstream. Bike trails begin and end here. High quality road bikes and mountain bikes can be rented from owners for $15/day or $95/week.
Fishing is available on the Provo River and there is a small pond in the Park area. Picnic areas and playgrounds are also only a block away. During the summer the Heber Creeper train makes a stop one block away for a scenic trip up the canyon. The train often is disguised as Thomas the Tank.
During the winter, skiing at Sundance is about 5 minutes away, or at Park City about 30 minutes away. In addition, the Snowbird and Alta Ski Resorts are less than an hour away.
We provide paper towels, toilet paper, tissue, bath soap, shampoo & conditioner samples, dishwasher detergent, and laundry products. DVD's & board games are available on request, and game systems & games which attach to the TV (Play Station 2, WII etc.) are available for rent.
The non-smoking cabin is small but has been completely renovated within the past year. Flooring, furniture, etc. are all new. A lot of money and time has been spent on fixing and upgrading everything.
The unique thing about this property is location. Vivian Park was established in the late 1800's and currently has about 30 residences. The view of the River out the back sliding glass doors is remarkable as is the view from the front. There is a lot of wildlife in the back including wild turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Truly a mountain retreat, yet only a few minutes from Sundance, BYU, or Downtown Provo, and less than an hour from three other Utah ski resorts. Also, the Salt Lake City airport is only 51 miles away.
Here is a recent testimonial: "You have a wonderful cabin that is very nicely furnished. My wife and I enjoyed the fact that it's so close to shopping and dining in Provo and very close to Sundance.
We went for a walk one afternoon and found ourselves listening to elk bugle all around us. Needless to say, we hope to be able to come back in the future." - S. Williams

We Loved It! Mason and Gaven say "we loved making boats and racing them down the river, and the SMORES!" Jeff and I just loved being up here out of the city in this beautiful spot. It's quiet and peaceful and everyone had a great time. Even our 17 yr. old daughter (who would rather die than be with her parents....ha ha) came for a day and had a blast. Thanks for some great family memories.

Wow! What a cute place you have got! We loved out stay! We loved BYU, Sprinville Art Museum, the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum, everything! Candice, age 10, loved the rope swing, throwing rocks in the river and catching 3 snakes! John loved your anitques and I loved the complimentary hot chocolate! The cabin was so fun we all want to come back soon!
