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!

Very Comfortable home with easy access to Little and Big Cottonwood canyons. Shay is an amazing host and does everything she can to make your stay a memorable one.
Host was very welcoming and house had all the amenities you could ever want. In deck hot tub very easy to get into and nice. Location for skiing both canyons couldn’t be better. I recommend staying there!!
Great host! This condo is very comfortable and incredibly well stocked. Beds super comfortable. Nice hot tub. Great location - easy walking distance to bus stop going up to Alta and Snowbird … buses about every 30 minutes. Easy walk to Smith’s grocery store. Would absolutely stay here again …

Yay! Glad it met all your needs -- especially the bus stop. The parking and reservations can be a hassle - I love that you took advantage of the bus. We hope you come back!
Excellent communication with host. Home was exactly as described. Very warm and comfortable and a great location for skiing and experiencing the local community. Highly recommended.

Awesome. I love that you found it “warm and comfortable”— that’s what we aim for. I am glad you felt at home and hope it was a wonderful Christmas stay.
Owners very kind and great communication. Location is absolutely gorgeous and close to a lot of amenities and trails. Comfortable stay for our entire family and great kitchen area for meals and conversation. We would stay again.
It is perfect for larger groups. The kitchen has a large island and table for 10 making it possible to all dine together. The basement is a fun hangout for all ages. Highly recommend this location for an all adult group and/or mixed ages!

Thank you! Glad that your group enjoyed the space for dining and having fun!
Our family had a wonderful and comfortable stay, just like home. Great location, easy to reach all things SLC. Shay was very helpful with all my questions.
The property was exactly as listed and was very clean and was a cozy retreat each day after skiing! It was nice and central to the ski resorts and lots of restaurants.

Thanks Carley! So glad you had such great snow and felt that the house was perfect after a day of skiing!
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!
Everything was even better than expected. Comfortable beds and furniture. Everything you needed to have an amazing trip. Plenty of room to spread out. We will definitely be back!!
Great spot with easy access to little or big cottonwood canyon, or Park City. Place came pre-equipped with everything we needed and the manager was highly responsive.
This house is perfect for family gatherings. The kitchen is well equipped. The house is as advertised in its listing. It is very convenient to the Cottonwood Canyon resorts as well as to Salt Lake City. It's well cared for, and we enjoyed our stay.

We loved our stay in the Modern Moose. The home was well furnished with lots of space. Great attention to detail in order to have a fun stay. We plan to stay here again next time we’re in Salt Lake.

I am so glad you had a great time and we look forward to hosting you again!
We have lived a good portion of our lives on the beach or near the mountains. The mountains always call us back and we returned to Salt Lake City in 2020. We are excited to raise our little guy near the mountains. We love that on the way home from school or work we can take a quick detour up the mountain to throw rocks in the river or go hiking and look for moose. Our little guy started skiing last year at 2.5 and rode the big lifts for the first time this year. So far he loves it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
The Modern Moose is located at the base of the Wasatch mountain range within 15-20 minutes of 4 resorts with the Greatest Snow on Earth! (Snowbird, Alta, Solitude & Brighton). The mountains aren't going anywhere and the Modern Moose gets you as close to it as you can be while still being an easy hop to the freeway to head downtown, to Park City, or to the airport. Walk to the grocery stores or on greener days walk just 200 yards to the park and tennis courts or pick one of the many spectacular hikes around. It really is an ideal location and we hope your experience at the Modern Moose agrees.
