The host couple is super friendly and easy to reach via text. The house was very clean and stocked with all sorts of bathroom essentials. They also left us a welcome basket of fruit, snacks, and fresh bagels from a local store! All of us (kids and adults alike) loved the game room too!! We would highly recommend The Spruce Moose

Perfect place with thoughtful hosts

The Moose was perfect for us. We wanted a location that was close enough to Snowbird and Alta for skiing but did not cost as much as staying at the resorts. The property was beautiful and clean and the hosts did such a great job of stocking the bathroom and kitchen for us. I highly recommend staying here.

Great place for ski vacation

We enjoyed staying here, it's a place in a nice quiet neighborhood and easy short drive to both Cottonwood canyons. The hosts are very caring and provide lots of bonus food (even breakfast) and toiletries. They live right above you in case anything comes up. As a bonus for any moose lover, there's very tasteful moose-themed decor throughout.

We stayed in the property while skiing Alta and Solitude ski resorts. It was conveniently located for both. This was by far the most thoughtful short term rental we have ever used. The apartment was extremely spacious and well stocked with everything you could need! The owners thought of everything! We will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay

The Spruce moose has everything you need! Centrally located to both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons for skiing. The apartment is super cute, clean and the host have insured that you have everything you need! There was a guest basket of fruits, and snacks, cooking oils, teas and coffees, and body washes, hair care, cotton balls and such in the bathroom. Everything you could think of was available!

Perfect

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights while helping our son work on home renovations. Everything was perfect and as described. Very nice neighborhood, kitchen was stocked with treats, fresh fruit, and snacks, and the bathroom stocked as well. Host goes above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable. Very clean, nicely decorated, and the sauna was amazing after a hard day working on our son's home! Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing Property! Excellent Location!

They really think of everything at the Spruce Moose! We had all we needed... and then some! Little touches like breakfast stuff, snacks... The property is in excellent condition and obviously well cared for. Covered parking was a huge plus since it dumped snow on us! Located very close to both Cottonwood canyons made it super convenient to get to the mountains. Would definately stay here again.

The apartment is spacious and well maintained. The owners are communicative to make sure your stay is as pleasant as possible. They go above and beyond by leaving toiletries and other household items you could need during your stay. The kitchen had been stocked with snacks and drinks. This was our best place to date that we have stayed. Thank you guys for being such good hosts.

Thank you David for taking the time to leave us a kind review. Yes, the outside area of the home is video monitored for safety. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Guest’s private patio area as well as the apartment front door entrance and apartment itself are not monitored. The only place that is under video surveillance is the garage door entrance before the guest's private patio area. Also, as mentioned in the listing, the Spruce Moose is a lower level apartment of our home. We provide complete privacy unless you reach out and need our help, otherwise we hope our guests enjoy themselves and have an excellent experience visiting, as so many guests have.

Awesome Spring Break!

We stayed at the Spruce Moose for 5 days over our teen son’s spring break. The apartment was inviting and comfortable with a large kitchen/dining/living area that’s great for socializing. Everything is fresh and modern and the beds are comfy. Bill and Karolina left extras to make our visit special, like a fruit basket and snacks. The location is extremely convenient to Snowbird/Alta and Solitude/Brighton. We also skied at Park City one day and that was also only a 35min drive. We definitely will stay at the Spruce Moose again in the future!

Visited Utah For The First Time

I can not say enough positive things about our stay here. The location was 4 miles away from the road that takes you up to Brighton/Solitude, and it is very convenient to the bus stops. The accommodations were well appointed, and the TV worked well. WIFI worked well, and everything felt very clean. It is about a 30 min drive into downtown SLC, and it was a 48 drive to Park City. The space is quite large and would accommodate 5 people easily. The sauna and gas fire were nice added touches. The owner takes a lot of care to leave items that travelers often forget, and there were a variety of other complementary sundries. If you are not looking to stay in the city or pay the high prices associated with on-mountain accommodations, this will also satisfy that. I would highly recommend and would stay there again.

Outstanding Hosts

My experience was fantastic. Bill and Karolina were super helpful in every way possible. They had great recommendations for family and kid friendly activities in and around the area. The home is located in a quiet and clean neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Everything we needed was accommodated for us, and if they didn’t have it, they asked around the neighborhood to get it for us. When we arrived there was food to eat after a hectic day of traveling that came in clutch. There are detailed instructions and explanations of how things work in the house. However, if I needed anything I knew I could call or text and would be assisted promptly. Privacy is respected and the house was very comfortable. If you’re planning on skiing or snowboarding you’re within 25 minutes of any of the 4 best resorts in the area.

Spruce Moose stay

Wonderful property. The owners have all sorts of little items available - everything from some fresh fruit to various toiletries to pens, pencils and duct tape! everything was well stocked (pots, pans, towels, etc) lots and lots of notes to ensure that you know how to work all of the items in the facility (coffee makers, TV, heating, etc) - all very helpful. Loved the fact that some of the outlets are preset with USB ports - and they have an octopus cable with multiple interfaces on it to support virtually all of your electronics (huge if one has forgotten their chargers!). Although this is a basement unit, you would never know it - wonderfully set up. I had constant email/text interchanges with the owners - always very fast in responding. We experienced no issues at all. I highly recommend the Spruce Moose.

Impeccable attention to detail, perfect ski base

We have stayed in vacation rentals in various places for years but the Spruce Moose is unparalleled. What makes this such an enjoyable rental is the impeccable attention to detail, from the perfectly appointed ski mudroom entry to the well- stocked kitchen and clear written instructions placed thought the unit, Bill and Karolina have anticipated every possible need a guest may have. (At one point I needed a blank sheet of paper for a work Zoom and I thought “finally something this place doesn’t have” but it turned out there was a folder of printer paper in the kitchen drawer!!!) Spotless and well organized, in quiet and safe residential neighborhood, this is an ideal base for skiing Alta/Snowbird and Brighton. Highly recommend!
