When I come back to Salt Lake, I’ll definitely stay here. This was the best VRBO experience I’ve had. The place was perfect and everything we needed was there. Easy to use directions for everything in the house. Beautiful and quiet spot close to the slopes. Thank you!
Perfect place for the wife and I to reconnect after a long trip to Europe for my wife. This place has every amenity for the body. Hot tub. Great shower. The beds were perfectly comfortable and cozy. Host has exceptional communication via text and VRBO app. We had everything we needed!
This is a fantastic place to stay -- and the hot tub is AMAZING -- if you're looking to ski at a variety of Utah resorts. We went to Snowbasin, Alta, Brighton, and Solitude during our trip... all less than an hour away!

The property felt secluded although it was close to shops and restaurants. Everything that you may need was provided. It was a very comfortable, modern, inviting environment. It made us feel like we were staying in our home away from home.
This was one of the best VRBO's we have ever stayed in. It was spotless, comfortable and so well stocked it was amazing. The hot tub is an incredible bonus after being on the hill all day. It is close to the Cottonwood Canyons and bus stops for the ski hills. Highly recommend. We will for sure stay again when we get to SLC again.
We come to SLC every year to ski and every year we stay at this VRBO. It is absolutely perfect! The location is convenient to ski everywhere, the property is perfectly (and thoughtfully) stocked. It is clean, well kept and has everything you need. The outside area and hot tub are private and lovely. The hosts are responsive and such wonderful folks. We cannot wait to come back again!
This VRBO literally has it all. I help run a VRBO back in my home state and I was taking tips and ideas from this one. It is extremely clean. Everything is well stocked. We were missing nothing as a family of six. The hot tub was definitely the highlight of my family’s stay! Thank you again!
The property was ideally located for us. Only about 25 minutes to SLC and about 40 minutes to Brighton and Solitude mountains. It was our first time in Utah and we were there to ski and snowboard, so it couldn't have been better. Grocery stores, restaurants, coffee, etc. only minutes from property.
The property was extremely clean and well stocked. Jon and Karen were very responsive and available to help us if we needed it. We felt secure and comfortable during our stay. We would definitely stay again. The hospitality and snow quality in Utah definitely lived up to the hype!
We skied Brighton and Alta and MMM was a great location. Host was very responsive and the place was stocked with anything you could need. They even had new toothbrushes in case you forgot yours. Would stay again and again!!
We had an amazing time with our home away from home at this Vacation Bliss. Our host was very accommodating and kind. The location was in a great quiet residential area, honestly one of the most well organized and clean places we’ve stayed at.
Communication prior to check in was great! Details were sent and host was responsive to any questions. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of supplies, including wash clothes, towels, plates, utensils and everyday kitchen gadgets and cleaning supplies. Beds were comfy and neighborhood was quite.
There was nothing missing at this place. The owners exceptional. The unit had everything you could think of and more. If we come back to UT, will be staying here again.
This was place was VERY nice! It was SO comfortable and SO beautiful and SO well designed and built! Beautifully decorated, very well stocked! We will definitely be returning next time we visit Utah!
This is our second time staying at this home and we love it even more the second time around. The hosts are wonderful, the property is immaculate and stocked with everything you need AND special touches.
This is the place we will continue to call “home” whenever we visit the SLC area.
This was our second time staying here and will try to every time we return to Salt Lake City. The property is immaculate. Beautifully designed and decorated, fully stocked, and clean!
Very comfortable, clean, well stocked place to stay for ski trip
Second time staying here. The apartment is very comfortable, clean, well stocked and equipped. Communication with host was easy and efficient. Great hot tub and amenities. Located in a quiet neighborhood about 10 min from opening of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Would stay again and recommend to anyone!
This location is excellent to Ski Cottonwood Canyons. We were able to cook a few items, rather than eat out every meal. The Hot tub was private and welcoming after a long day on the slopes.
We LOVED this rental. Perhaps our favorite ever!! It was immaculate, the hot ton and patio area were fabulous. We had everything we needed and the hosts were lovely!
Close to everywhere we wanted to be. I can’t say enough good things about it.
We can’t wait to come back.
This place is perfect! I really loved all the small and very considerate touches, from having entertainment for the kids, stocked coffee, everything you could possibly need in a space
Karen went above and beyond to make sure the towels and linen were up to par
The hot tub was perfect and loved how quiet the neighborhood was
The grocery store was super close along with the gas station and restaurants!
Absolutely loved this place
