Location: Alta, Utah, USA (15 minutes from Downtown; 9 miles to Alta & Snowbird.)
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 12-17)
The house is located at the bottom of Little Cottonwood Canyon with four resorts within 25 minutes of the property. Entertainment and restaurants downtown are about 15 to 20 minutes away. The snow at the nearby resorts is greater in quantity and better in quality than the other local resorts. There is a view up Little Cottonwood from the front of the house.
Please look at our GUEST BOOK. We are very proud of our guests' comments.
My guests tell me that they find the house conveniently located for grocery shopping, food, video rental, and ski equipment rental. It is one block from a park-and-ride that operates on a 30 minute interval to the slopes in the morning. We arrange equipment rental, lift tickets and auto rentals at a discount.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1995
I was born in Scotland and as my Father managed a tea estate in India I was sent to boarding School in Scotland.I received a B.Sc. in Engineering in Glasgow. After working in London for 3 years I emigrated to California. I received an M.B.A. at U.C. Berkeley. I have been in the rental housing business for 40 years. My first visit to Utah was to play rugby in Park City. I now own 2 vacation rental houses in Sandy and I enjoy renting and arranging vacations for my guests. I meet lots of nice interesting people through this business. I really like it when customers become repeat visitors as it means that we are doing something right.
Why the Owner Chose Alta
The house is well located for public transport to Alta and Snowbird and the house was suitable for this use as a vacation home with a nice view of the mountains.
The Unique Benefits of this House
There is a nice big hot tub on the deck for relaxation after skiing.

Homeowner Response:
One of the rewards we get from this business is the interaction with such nice people and it is a bonus when they tell us they enjoyed their vacation and that the house worked out well for them. It makes it all worth while. Thank you, Norman Jack
