About this property

This secluded mountain home is a great place to unwind and get away from it all. Surrounded by forest and with six bedrooms (2 kings, 2 Queens, 1 Double, 1 with pair of twin bunk beds, and even 1 pull-out sofa bed) it is ideal for families reuniting or groups of couples who want quiet surroundings. There are three separate living areas ( a large formal living room with 2 fireplaces, a cozy TV room off the kitchen, and a large TV/ping pong/play room in the basement) which means that there is room for a rousing group board game, but individuals can still find a cozy corner to curl up in front of a fire with a book or a movie.
For those interested in a bit more activity, hiking abounds in the area; in fact, you can walk out the front door for an easy 45 minute hike to Stewart Falls, or you could conquer Mt. Timpanogos (at 11,752, it is the second highest mountain in Utah's Wasatch Range). Also Robert Redford's Sundance Resort & Spa (with mountain biking, zip lining, yoga, massages, and summer theater) is just a 5 minute drive down the road, the Provo River with river rafting and world-class fly fishing is 15 minutes away, 2 Soldier Hollow Golf courses are 25 minutes away in Midway City, and Park City is a mere 45 minute drive northeast.
And don't forget the Hot Tub!! No matter how you spend the day, as the sunlight fades, consider enjoying a dip in a hot tub under the stars on our private main deck or head down to The Owl Bar at Sundance for some live music.
This warm and inviting cabin makes the perfect home base for adventures further afield or for just relaxing and escaping from busy modern life. Amenities include:
Board games, puzzles, darts, ping pong, books, & horse shoes
Wifi, Netflix, DVD players, & a vinyl/CD/aux stereo system
A fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, dishware, utensils, etc.
Dry firewood
Washer/dryer
Plenty of bed linens and towels
And extra flip flops for the hot tub (in case someone forgets a pair!)

Perfect!

We do an annual murder mystery weekend with some friends. It was perfect! The living room was a perfect gathering space. It had enough seating, there’s 2 different TV Watching areas so we were able to watch what we wanted. Mary and Larry were kind enough to let us come up a little early to check it out before hand. They are so nice and so easy to work with! Will probably come back next year!

Excellent Family Lodging!

This property was just what we wanted for our couples' getaway this year. It felt spacious and homey. The furnishings were comfortable and good quality, though we wished for brighter reading lights over the living room chairs and a chair in each bedroom would have been appreciated. The beds were mostly king and queen and comfy. We appreciated the nice electric baseboard heating in each room that we could adjust individually. There were plenty of games and books for all interests. We brought a home slide show that we enjoyed watching on one of the large TVs. The kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked; the appliances worked well.. We loved the hot tub on the outdoor deck surrounded by nice lights strung around the area. The forest setting was private and secluded; there was a minimum of sound from neighboring properties. Most of our group made the short and easy hike to Stewart Falls from this property. . A downside was the narrow and not well-maintained private community portion of the road which ascended to the property. Our car was not 4-wheel drive so navigating and parking was a minor and understandable challenge, given the slant of the mountain. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. All in all we were very pleased with our lodging and we are definitely considering renting this property again next fall!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

This was a fun getaway for my family. This felt very much like what it is;a much-loved vacation home. The beds were comfortable, and we were provided with plenty of linens and everything needed to cook. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing in the evenings and there were endless games and a wonderful vintage collection of vinyl. One suggestion, if you go when it is unseasonably warm; bring a couple extra fans. There is obviously no A/C and we went when it was crazy hot, evening the mountains. Two fans were provided, but a couple more would have helped keep the four upstairs bedrooms cooler in the afternoon. Not a huge issue since we were only in the rooms to sleep, and as soon as the sun went down they cooled off quickly. Overall, this was an amazing experience.

Beautiful Home in the Mountains

We had six adult couples come from across the country for a sibling reunion here. We all loved our stay in this home. Plenty of comfortable bedrooms, a large living room, a well-supplied kitchen and a hike to a nearby waterfall made our trip most enjoyable. I would love to rent this again.

About the host

Hosted by Larry and Mary Pat Halonen

We live in Southern California and purchased this home 33 years ago for the areas' rustic, non-commercial atmosphere. Originally we were drawn to this particular part of Utah for the skiing but have come to love the Spring, Summer and Fall equally as well if not more. Getting together with family and friends over the years has been priceless and has provided us with wonderful memories. There is literally something for everyone here.

Why they chose this property

The home is located less than 1 mile from Robert Redford's award winning 4 season resort which offers a SPA, 2 excellent restaurants and a Deli, mountain biking, art studio/classes, horseback riding, zip line, onsite glass blowing demonstrations, fly fishing, and seasonal outdoor plays and concerts. There are also 5 golf courses within a 20-30 minute drive as well as nearby river rafting on the Provo river and Heber Creeper historic train rides.
