Awesome Spring Break!

We stayed at the Spruce Moose for 5 days over our teen son’s spring break. The apartment was inviting and comfortable with a large kitchen/dining/living area that’s great for socializing. Everything is fresh and modern and the beds are comfy. Bill and Karolina left extras to make our visit special, like a fruit basket and snacks. The location is extremely convenient to Snowbird/Alta and Solitude/Brighton. We also skied at Park City one day and that was also only a 35min drive. We definitely will stay at the Spruce Moose again in the future!

Wonderful Stay

The Spruce moose has everything you need! Centrally located to both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons for skiing. The apartment is super cute, clean and the host have insured that you have everything you need! There was a guest basket of fruits, and snacks, cooking oils, teas and coffees, and body washes, hair care, cotton balls and such in the bathroom. Everything you could think of was available!

Perfect place with thoughtful hosts

The Moose was perfect for us. We wanted a location that was close enough to Snowbird and Alta for skiing but did not cost as much as staying at the resorts. The property was beautiful and clean and the hosts did such a great job of stocking the bathroom and kitchen for us. I highly recommend staying here.

About the host

Hosted by Bill & Karolina

Hi, my name is Bill, my wife is Karolina and we have a child. We have also always had a pup and cat as part of our family too. Karolina and I both love hiking, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, and traveling together as often as possible. Karolina is from Poland and I am from Georgia. We met near where we both lived in downtown Atlanta and a year later we were married. Karolina is a Veterinarian and I have a T-shirt art business.

For our 10th wedding anniversary we visited a BNB for the first time in Savanah GA and were hooked. We immediately started thinking about how amazing it would be to live in a destination location that complemented our adventurous lifestyle and at the same time, be able to share our home as a BNB for others to enjoy. We started planning our permanent get-way to live close to Mountains with plenty of summer and winter activities and fell in love with Utah. We packed and headed west in 2016 and here we are!

We welcome you and your guests to the Spruce Moose Mountain Retreat, a gorgeous place to rest your mind and body after a day filled with adventure.

We look forward to you visiting soon,

Bill and Karolina

Why they chose this property

The story behind how we ended up in Utah and more specifically the home we live in now and then designing the “Spruce Moose Mountain Retreat”(Lower Level Apartment).

Zakopane is a beautiful mountain region in Poland that we’ve visited a couple times and absolutely loved it. We felt all the activities that are available in the mountains would be a perfect fit for us as a place to live. After extensive research we found SLC, UT to be very similar to Zakopane with Skiing, Hiking, Fishing, Mountain Biking, Camping, and so much more! The final decision to make the move was finding so many reviews from top winter sports athletes that said Utah is the mecca for skiing because it has “The Greatest Snow On Earth” and the huge variety of terrain (beginners to expert levels)! The location of the Spruce Moose is only minutes to some of the Worlds best ski resorts.

To sum up our experience of SLC, Utah in one word would be “ADVENTURE”!

When we finally settled on the location we felt would be outstanding for the plans ahead, we decided on this home because it was designed perfectly with what we had imagined. The property was constructed with an apartment on the lower level and entirely separated from the top floor with a separate entrance so you, our guest's, could enjoy complete privacy. We then went to work to duplicate highlights from many other BNB's we had visited and added our own warm touch so our guests could truly enjoy your vacations or business travels in complete privacy and comfort.

What makes this property unique

The "Spruce Moose Mountain Retreat" is in a very peaceful and quiet upscale neighborhood. The home "Lower Level Apartment" is extremely comfortable with top of the line furniture, beds, linens, and a kitchen with everything needed to cook a gourmet dinner. We invested a lot in the details and making sure your comfort and enjoyment are top priority. You will also enjoy the comforts of having a Private Patio/Yard area with table and chairs for you and your guests to enjoy. There's even a BBQ Grill for warmer weather.

The Sauna has many health benefits related to muscle soreness, joint pain, and injury relief and recovery associated with extremely physical activities along with sports such as Ski and Snow Boarding. It is also great to visit It's also great after a long cold day on the mountain to get that chill out of your spine:)!

Think about the feeling of a romantic walk or bike ride around the peaceful and quiet neighborhood, enjoying the scenic panoramic mountain views and at some spots even see the twinkle of the lights overlooking Salt Lake City.

As mentioned in the description, the location is very close to the mountains where Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons are within 3-4 miles. A little further up either of the canyons includes 4 world class ski resorts. Restaurants, Groceries, Entertainment, Golfing, Hiking, and much more can be enjoyed within 1-5 miles of the home. The city is within 15-25 minutes (depending on where you want to visit) so if you want to dine at the best restaurants, microbreweries, enjoy a night out on the town, visit famous landmarks, or if you're just in the area for business you are close to everything SLC has to offer. The combination of the location, all the comforts home has to offer, being recently renovated with all up to date amenities, quiet and extremely safe neighborhood, this home is the perfect place to enjoy your next ski or Summer vacation, and even great for a very comfortable business trip.
