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!

Welcome to the Moose!

Mother’s Day Weekend
Enjoyed a long weekend in Utah to see our son who now lives in SLC and our daughter from Vegas joined us. We had a great weekend and appreciated their beautiful & comfortable home. Had everything we needed for meal prep and family games. Lots of space and great location for our hikes, park city visit, and time in SLC.

A reunion to remember!
This rental was the home base for our 10 year college reunion and it was totally perfect! The house comfortably slept 8 adults. Over the weekend, we had an intimate dinner with fifteen people, we played party games, and we had a big dessert open house with additional friends and family. It was the ideal rental in every way. Perfect for hosting and catching up with loved ones.

Wonderful Home
This is a fantastic townhome which our family of 5 really enjoyed! It’s a great space for visiting Brighton, Solitude, Alta, Snowbird and the Nordic center as we did for skiing, snowboarding and cross country + snowshoeing. The 4 bedrooms and 2 large, very comfortable sectionals were amazing while we made good use of the large and very well stocked kitchen for breakfast and dinner. Really appreciated the large kitchen table. The hot tub and basement activities were fantastic for our evenings. We really liked the style of this place and appreciated it’s touches like the boot dryer and garage ski rack. Our oldest, less experienced daughter did very well at Solitude with greens and blues. We had wonderful fresh powder. We don’t recommend Snowbird unless you’ve had fresh snow, it’s steep and gets dangerously icy. We will be back!! This is our 4th time in 2 years to the area. It’s just gorgeous and the ski resorts so easy and quick to drive to ( they do close road for 3 hours if an avalanche covers parts of the road, pay attention to U Dot. But snow removal is very efficient here!) The Modern Moose is amazing!!

Great place for family time!
Modern Moose was a great home base for our family over a long ski trip. The kitchen made it easy to cook big meals, the dining room table let us all sit together, and the bedrooms offered good spaces to rest/relax. Thanks for providing a great place for family time! There were many small things we liked: -modern and well-designed interior with plenty of space for our family of 8 -comfortable beds/linens -large dining room table that seats 10 -very cozy living room couch -well equipped kitchen -convenient location for getting to ski slopes -easy parking for 3 cars (including garage space for 1 medium-sized vehicle) -there are lots of hiking trails nearby as well as a park -ski boot/glove dryer -good washer/dryer -the driveway was quickly shoveled after a big storm A few things to be aware of: -the home is right on Wasatch Blvd, which generates quite a bit of road noise all day/night especially in one of the upstairs bedrooms -the hot tub is set at 91 degrees when you arrive; be sure to turn it up a few hours before you want to hop in -there's only one thermostat for the whole house, but the temperature stays fairly even throughout; bedrooms can get a little chilly at night but the blankets are warm

We love the Moose!
We have stayed at this property twice and it has been awesome both times. The property owner is super easy to communicate with and is very attentive. The property is a perfect location for skiing both canyons and has plenty of space for everyone. It’s clean and nice and truly has everything you need!

Does not disappoint!
Stayed here with a friend group to hit the slopes and it was one of the best places we've rented in SLC in our 10+ year run. Very convenient access to both canyon roads/resorts and the renovations in the home are much better than the rest of the rental stock in the area. Will definitely look to book again when we're back in the area.
