Great attention to details such as kid dinnerware and ample meal prep utensils. Host was very accommodating and responded quickly to inquiries. Unit is ideally located for outdoor activities in either Big or Little Cottonwood Canyons.

Excellent base for ski week
The townhome was a fantastic home for a great week skiing the Cottonwood canyon resorts. Nicely updated, comfortable beds/linens/pillows, very well supplied kitchen, well maintained hot tub and thoughtful extras like games and puzzles to keep the kids busy. Communication with the management team and local contact was efficient and helpful. We will definitely stay again!
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 1, 2026
Thank you, Allison! We enjoyed hosting you and are glad your ski week was successful with a comfortable home and good snow (finally)! Thanks for being great guests.
Excellent property close to the canyons and shopping amenities. Hosts were great, beautiful home. Recommend staying for anyone who wants to be near the canyons.
Incredibly well-appointed condo so convenient to Alta! Comfortable, clean, easy to communicate with owners/manager and great area to stay.

We had a wonderful week staying at this property. We had plenty of room for the six of us and were in the perfect location for getting into the Canyons for skiing. We will definitely look to book the house again.

From the owner: "Thank you, Tory! We were happy to have you as guests and would be delighted to welcome you back."
This was a great place for our family of 6. We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and had enough room for everyone to relax and unwind all week. The hot tub was a fun bonus and we appreciated having 2 tv/gathering areas. We were able to park 4 cars in the garage and driveway, that helped us to gather as well. We have booked many rental units and this was our favorite so far.

Wow! Jennifer, thank you for your kind review! We are glad your Thanksgiving at Wasatch R&R turned out so well. It's an extra honor to host people for their important holiday celebrations, and it was a pleasure to have you stay with us. Come again some time!
My family and I came to attend my mothers funeral and this home was our sanctuary - a true home away from home. Thank you and we WILL be back!

Convenient and well equipped!
We had a wonderful time at this townhome. With out-of-town visitors and locals coming to see them, this location and property was so easy to host and feed guests. Well equipped kitchen made it easy, roomy and open concept living made for great gatherings.
Beautiful clean home with all the amenities you need for a nice vacation. So close to Alta and Snowbird. Owner and management were very helpful in trying to get us in a little early and could not have been better with their communication leading into our stay and throughout. One of my best experiences renting on VRBO.

Very Cozy Townhome
This is a very comfortable and cozy townhome in a great location. It's quiet and spacious and very convenient for going up hiking or skiing or jumping on the highway to get around town. There's a recreation center nearby that you can go work out at or ice skate. Grocery store is close too. We loved it and had a great stay!

This condo was absolutely perfect for our family ski vacation! We had zero complaints. It's a lovely condo in a great location and the communication was great. We would definitely rent this condo again and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a rental in the Cottonwood Heights area.

From the owner: "Kim! Thank you so much for your great comments and recommendations to others. We are pleased that you enjoyed your time at Wasatch R&R. We would be happy to welcome you back again."
This home is in a great spot for a family ski vacation. We were less than 15 minutes from Alta and Snowbird (unless there was heavy traffic) and only 40 minutes from Deer Valley. Plenty of restaurants within 10-15 minutes of the house. The house itself was great -- very well stocked, a great hot tub for after ski, nice fireplaces, and a great kitchen. We had a lovely stay.
