About this property
Cabin 5min to Solitude/Brighton 45-60min to Alta/Snowbird/ParkCity/DeerValley
Mystic Moose is located ~10 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon which is only 45 min from SLC Airport. The unique location of Mystic Moose provides easy access to Wasatch Front ski resorts, backcountry and the amenities Salt Lake City, Cottonwood Heights and Park City have to offer. Proximity to other resorts/activities:
2 miles to Solitude 4 miles to Brighton 21 miles away from Snowbird/Alta 27 miles to downtown SLC An hour drive to Park City/Deer Valley resorts
If you are into earning your turns and going in the backcountry, you can start hiking and skinning from the porch and have access to the magnificent Wasatch mountains.
Another perk for renting Mystic Moose is the owner ;). I love the Wasatch mountains and have extensive knowledge of the mountains and resorts. I will be able to provide suggestions for hikes, snowshoeing trails, backcountry access, snow conditions/avi resources, which resorts have the best snow, etc. I also own season passes to Wasatch resorts and if the timing works, will meet guests on the slopes for personal tours.....basically giving you the local tips.

This is a really fun house and Soroush is a fantastic host. The house is exactly as described, clean, everything works, and it’s in a perfect location. The house has personality, which really adds to the vacation quality. The host communicates clearly and is helpful. Highly recommend!

DISAPPOINTING
First upon booking I was immediately notified by the property manager that the hot tub was not working. When I tried to cancel, I couldn't so I had to call VRBO and then the manager pointed out to read their "small print" which indicates the tub may not always be working! To make it right the property manager made certain the hot tub was working. However, the disappointment came when we saw the small one, maybe two person stand alone hot tub. Legend 222 hot tub 24 inches tall and 6 ft. wide, say no more. I wish I would have cancelled when VRBO made arrangements. Also know the cabin is well kept and charming but sits in a very run down cabin area just off the main canyon road, so road noise is HORRIBLE and neighboring cabin not good. Positives, its next to a beautiful river.
The cabin had every amenity you could ask for in a ski trip and on top of that had a great location. It is just a few miles from solitude and Brighton, and saves on over an hour of travel time if you were coming from the bottom of the canyon. We also ski toured and didn’t have to drive anywhere, just walk out the front door, clicked into our skis, and started climbing to some of the best terrain in big cottonwood. On top of that, the host is phenomenal. Before our trip he gave us great recommendations on gear and where to tour. During our stay it snowed 3-4 feet and he always made sure the driveway was clear. He also went above and beyond as we were getting low on wine (nearest wine store is a 60 minute round trip). He didn’t hesitate to offer to pick up wine for us on his way up to shovel, which is a first on the many rentals I’ve stayed in. I will stay here each time I come to Utah!
I had the best experience, we felt so secure, the host was always looking that we had fun & feel secure, he came 2 days in a row to clean the snow from the cabin and the street. He was so humble & kind. Highly recommended 🙏🏼
