Cottage On The Stream • Sundance, Utah • Hot tub • Sunny kitchen • Decks • Wood stove • Mountain Cabins Utah

Pamela and Lynn are partners in business and life. Lynn grew up in Springville, Utah, and Pamela in Phoenix, Arizona, and they met up in Austin, Texas, where they maintain their business and a home. Family, friends and the call of the mountains and Utah outdoor lifestyle has drawn them back year after year. Here is the truth - The winters bring you to Sundance and the summers keep you here.

Every day we are struck by what a beautiful place we are so fortunate to be a part of. In our company, our mission is to provide jobs for people. For our guests, our mission is to provide you with comfortable environments for you to practice your own form of relaxation in the beauty and serenity of The Cottage by the Stream.

This property was added to our endeavor for gifting the future called Properties That Make a Difference. We realize so many people and events have allowed us to do the things we love to do, like have this property. So many people have given their time, talent and energy to us and we have decided to allocate a percentage of our proceeds from your rental to helping others. We believe in the power of one - be it one dollar, one action, one kindness - each action creates a result and we would like to quietly create some extraordinary results for others. We have discovered it is the small things in people’s lives that make a difference. Helping their daily lives be easier; a trip to the dentist, new tires for a car, paying an overdue electric bill, sponsoring a child to play sports, donating to a new program introducing children to the art of making films - things that directly affect a person's day to day life. Giving back to say thank you. Paying it forward.

We were meandering through the trails and happened upon this quaint little cottage sitting so quietly in the meadow. The property around the cottage somehow made us think about building a Hobbit House here. The stumps, the stream and all the secret places sparked our imagination. We began playing with the idea and started collecting ideas and coming up with designs to build a Hobbit House. We discovered the property was for sale, but because we already had a project we put it on the back burner.

Early this spring I happened to check the listings for Sundance again and discovered the property had a reduction in price. We made an offer and purchased the property from the Watkins family. This was their summer get away and now they were ready to let it go.

After spending time at The Cottage, we realized it was so comfortable and had so much potential already - it just felt good. It made us feel like we were home so we decided to put The Hobbit House plans away for another Spring Project.

This is the second property in Properties That Make a Difference. The first is still being built just downstream with completion set for Spring, 2015. This property is so family-friendly, at Thanksgiving we cooked for 40 of our friends and family and everybody loved it. It feels like home.

We invite you to bring your family and friends and enjoy home away from home, knowing you will be contributing to making a difference. Ask for a list of our contributions.

When you walk to the entrance of The Cottage you will see two trees growing side by side near the front door. During the day in the spring time, right underneath the front windows you will see the yellow lilies gently blowing in the gentle breezes like a sea of yellow. Slightly to the left in the yard there is a dead stump that houses purple plants and every now and then a chipmunk pops his head out of the center. There is a unique little bench by the front door where you can view the meadow which is alive with creatures big and small. The resident owl perches in the nearby trees and you can hear him early in the morning hooting and in the evening right after sundown. The turkeys meander through the property pecking at who knows what every day and in the spring the newborns hustle behind their mommas to keep up. The deer drink from the stream, hanging out and then disappear into the trees. There are 2 resident bucks known as ‘The Brothers’ that frequently make an appearance. In the spring the meadow twinkles with butterflies of all colors and the hummingbirds begin looking for nectar. The plastic pink geraniums in the window box are reminiscent of times and people passed that were the guardians of this place. We respect and thank them for their creation.

Together this property and its’ companion property, The Treehouse Lodge on the Creek which is just a few steps up the road, can accommodate 25 people in beds plus outside sleeping in the summer. Let us help you in planning that family reunion. We also have an RV space if Aunt Suzy and Uncle Bob decide to come along. Ask about availability and pricing.
