Creekside spring skiing weekend

We had a great time at Creekside. The house was beautiful open with amazing views from the two patios, especially the amazing views from the hot tub overlooking the snowy mountains. We just loved it kitchen well equipped laundry in the house everything we needed. And great communication with Catie on site. We would come back again was a great fit for our party of four adults and three kids.

Comfortable chalet for leaf season in Alta

We really enjoyed our stay in this chalet. It has a special location, nestled among some trees and next to a small, gurgling stream below. We enjoyed the hot tub and cooked a fine meal in the complete kitchen. All of the beds were very comfortable. It was a perfect home base for our adventures hiking and October leaf season on the Cecret Lake hike in Alta and the Willow Lake hike on Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Great house down a snowy path

We loved our stay, and the house was great. Be advised the walk down/up the snowy path can be a little treacherous hauling gear, even with the sleds that are available.

Creekside Chalet

Overall it was a nice home and super convenient to the Alta Lodge and ski area, which is what we were looking for. The description of the property notes that an all wheel drive is required (even in summer), and that it is a long walk to get to the home - TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!! It's a beautiful location, but not easy to get luggage or older people in and out of.

Great rustic hideaway.

We loved our stay here this year. The place was clean and the caretake (onsite, downstairs) was friendly, easy to get a hold of and she offered to help with the luggage. I declined since I had a group of 15 year olds to do the work instead. There is a bit of a haul getting from the parking lot to the front door. It's about 50 yards (my guess) that ends with a narrow, snowy stairway to the front door. But, they do have a sled by the parking lot to help haul your stuff. The only negative is we did have to shovel out the steps when we got there, but that isn't worth subtracting a star. I have that job the kids.

Fantastic cabin with ski in access

Our group of 8 adults had an excellent stay here - the home was well equipped and the location is fantastic for skiing. The town shuttle was easy to use for getting to the lifts each day.

Special Mountain Side Cabin

This house was beautiful. It is 30 minutes from down town Salt Lake City but you would think it is hours away. You are right in the mountains with a roaring river right next to the house. The sound of the water was so peaceful every night. The view is unbelievable. Mountains all around and the master bedroom has a view that can’t be beat. We used the hot tub every day as it got cool at night even when it was 90 plus in the city. It was roughly 20 degrees cooler up at the cabin than in the city. Unlimited hiking during the day. It is on an extremely steep driveway. Getting to the cabin was fine in June with a compact car but the driveway definitely requires 4 wheel drive, even without snow. It is very steep with gravel. There is a caretaker that lives in an apartment under the cabin. She was helpful when we had some issues with the cars and other than that you wouldn’t know she was there. Perfect size for my 6 family members. Very secluded. We saw no neighbors during our 6 day stay.

Kitsch Ski House

Other users have summarized well. This place feels like walking into a ski cabin from the 70s or 80s, which is not surprising given it was one of the first places built in Alta. The floors creek, not a ton of sound insulation so you can hear everything in any part of the house, but the place has a nice charm to it. Notwithstanding its age, its a decent place to stay. Plenty of rooms and beds, close to Alta or Snowbird, reasonably clean, good views, decent hot tub. And for the most part, stuff in the house works - the heating, hot tub, boot warmer, etc. One other nice touch is that there is a humidifier that actually works in every single bedroom. That was much appreciated given the dry UT air. Though our stay was pleasant, our experience had a few hiccups. The coffee machine was full of an old pot of coffee and coffee grounds. The caretakers clothes were all in/around the washer and dryer. Toilet broke (was fixed promptly) during our stay. One thing that was a bit strange, nearly every light or electrical device needed to be plugged in. For example, we had to plug in almost all the bedside lamps if we wanted to use them and we had to plug in the DirecTV upstairs, which was not obvious at all and required us to reach out to the property manager for guidance. Finally, the kitchen stocked items were pretty spartan. Pots/pans/plates were fine, but there were hardly any spices/salt/pepper type stuff. As with any rental property, nothing is guaranteed, but given how remote Alta is, recommend anyone renting this place plan to bring all the basics, because there is not a great grocery up in Alta/Snowbird. One thing noted in the description is the caretaker lives in an apartment beneath the house and the laundry is shared with him. We did not have as much direct interaction with him, though this did mean that anything we needed fixing was addressed promptly. Some people may view this as a positive, as he can be quite helpful, some as a negative as he is very close to the renters. Pros: Space efficient: 2 queens and 2 kings plus two double futons. The beds are of pretty high quality as well, not the typical collapsed mattress in lots of old ski houses. Even the futons were good. Location: Quick to Alta or Snowbird. Usability: Not big, just a pretty usable place with all the bedrooms, kitchen, hot tub, closets, etc. Humidifiers in each room was great. Cons: Access for little kids. The pathway down/up to the parking lot is a pain to lug little kids back and forth, though I guess it would make for a good sledding hill. Parking: In the winter, there is one spot, and its pretty tight. Getting in and out of the parking lot can be treacherous with slippery conditions too. Having only one spot for a house that can easily sleep ~10 people is tight. Neutral On site caretaker: Most find this good, but some could be turned off by it. A little old: charming but a little rickety vs. some rentals

Not where map said but was cozy by the stream

All in all the property was good the upper floors creak a lot so don’t sleep down stairs great view of the creek. Was very comfortable parking was on a steep gravel slope so need to walk a little ways for flat ground. Parking The care taker moved his jeep so one car could park below with only 5 steps. The kitchen was full stocked internet was fast and had Dish so didn’t miss Hockey play offs All in all was nice place disappointing it was not next to the Venue o well.

Summer in Alta

Great location. Alta was a blast during summer. Multiple trailheads nearby. This property is right along a creek. Coffee/drinks on the deck overlooking the creek are a must. One issue we were unaware prior to check-in was the fact that a resident is living in the basement and sharing washer and dryer.

Great cabin!!! 4x4 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Super cool cabin, great location. Listing says 4x4 recommended before April, honestly you need it year round with the gravel. Our Sienna got stuck. Also, internet is DSL so it’s almost like not having internet. Having said this.... the place was amazing otherwise. Right next to a stream so peaceful and beautiful.

Winter Adventure

What a fun hideaway for a winter weekend with friends. The house was comfortable and clean. Amazing location. I’m not sure the description quite does justice to winter access to the house. We’re an active group of adults (who live and ski in the west) so it wasn’t an issue, but when it snows getting in and out of the house will require some leg work (the cabin has a sled so you can haul your gear up and down). Parking is also a little complicated. We worked it out, but the small lot is shared with all the houses tucked in off E. Peruvian Acre Rd and it is extremely tight. I wouldn’t recommend having more than 1 vehicle in the winter. The caretaker lives downstairs, which was fine with us (he was also very responsive to needs) but is good to know for future guests who might desire more privacy. All in all, it’s a very cool place and retains much of that old Alta character we know and love.

Exactly what we were looking for.

The Creekside Chalet was exactly as described and was perfect for our ski vacation getaway. It was warm and cozy and the hot tub and gas fireplace were really enjoyable. We met two of the caretakers who live downstairs and they were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials and we had all we needed to cook breakfasts and dinners. While we enjoyed the DirectTV, there were also games and movies/DVD player provided. Although the king sized bed in the master was two twins pushed together, the bedding was high quality and very comfortable. You could not ask for a better location relative to Alta skiing and we will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Octoberfest Weekend at Alta

We had a lovely stay at this Creekside Cabin. It was perfect for our family. We had three famlies of sisters husbands and all our kids come and it fit us fine. We had a little issue figuring out how to turn on the oven but we were able to figure it out after a bit of troubleshooting. The patios are both wonderful and it's so close to many trails and the Oktoberfest at Snowbird we would stay again. Thanks!
