About this property

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!

Great access point with all the amenities

Great place, very comfortable for two families of four. Location for skiing was excellent! Only downsides were the road noise as it backs onto a busy road and neighbor noise as it is a condo. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

We love the Modern Moose! This is our 3rd stay at this property. Shay, your host is responsive and kind ( although we’ve never had any issues) The home is always cleans and comfortable. The location can’t be beat with quick access to both canyons and this year we even made a day trip to Snow Basin with ease. Thanks for a fabulous place to stay!

We had a wonderful Christmas stay! The house was very clean, well stocked, and comfortable. The location was ideal with easy access to multiple ski resorts, and the hot tub was a nice bonus after a long day of skiing. Shay even put out some lovely Christmas decorations which made it feel like home. We would love to stay here again!

Great times at the Modern Moose

Six adults had a great stay at The Modern Moose. We loved this place. VERY clean and everything seemed brand new. Location is perfect to hit Alta-Snowbird ( an easy 15-20 minutes away) or we even ventured up Big Cottonwood Canyon to ski Brighton (40-minutes) easily. Big city amenities are also nearby - we did our shopping at Trader Joe's and found some great restaurants, like Hoof and Vine (Yummmm!). We look forward to our next visit.

Thanksgiving at the Moose

We had a wonderful stay at the Modern Moose for the week of Thanksgiving. The house is adorable and was just perfect for us! It is in a beautiful location, it looks just like it does in the photos, it was really spread out and roomy, and we cooked up a storm. It really felt like a home away from home. It was spotless, and seamless as far as figuring things out. Communication with the owner was very timely to answer any of our questions. It truly was a great find! I'd love to stay there again!
