About this property

Snowcapped and sun-splashed In The Canyon Retreat: Cabin Home with Hot Tub

Secluded yet accessible mountain home cradled in the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains four miles up scenic Big Cottonwood Canyon. Cross the gated log clad bridge over Big Cottonwood Creek to enter this private sanctuary and Winter Wonderland destination. Built in the mid-1950's, this cabin showcases traditional lodge architecture along with modern features and convenience. With a spacious King bedroom, two Queen bedrooms (one with extra bunk beds), and a cozy loft, we comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. Enjoy the private hot tub, fire pit, and stream-side deck. With great access to superb hiking and only a 10 mile drive to Solitude and Brighton Ski Resorts, this is truly a year-round mountain retreat!

Escape to our secluded yet accessible mountain sanctuary nestled in the heart of Big Cottonwood Canyon. As you cross our gated log-clad bridge over the rushing waters of Big Cottonwood Creek, you'll step into a private world of natural beauty and comfort.

Our cabin boasts a stunning oak-beamed ceiling (with traditional mortise and tenon joinery) and a spacious deck that stretches out to the peaceful stream in the back. Whether you're savoring morning coffee or stargazing by the fire pit, you'll find tranquility in every corner.

Inside, you'll discover the open plan main floor living room with a couch and two rocking chairs, full kitchen, dining area and a full bathroom. There is also a bedroom with a luxuriously comfortable California-King-sized bed and a 16 foot tall tree hand carved decades ago by an old man named Tjokot in Bali. Upstairs there is a half bath, along with two rooms featuring Queen-sized beds, and one of them with an additional bunk beds -- making it perfect for families or groups. Additionally, the charming and cozy loft space sleeps two more, providing comfortable accommodations for up to 10 guests.

Outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers will appreciate the superb hiking right from our doorstep, as well as numerous trail heads only a short drive away. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking wilderness of the area. And when it's time to hit the slopes, you're just a scenic 10 miles from both Brighton (famous, among other reasons, for night skiing) and Solitude Ski Resorts.

Whether you seek adventure or tranquil relaxation, taste the revitalizing spirit of the Old West as you enjoy the ideal blend of accessibility and seclusion year round at our cabin home in Big Cottonwood Canyon..

About the host

Hosted by Larry Perkins

Host profile image
Larry and Gayle have lived in Salt Lake for some 30 years. Larry moved to Salt Lake City after working as an international banker in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Nigeria, Saudia Arabia, and Greece. He was lucky enough to meet Gayle -- who grew up in Las Vegas, majored in Psychology and Early Childhood Education, co-authored a book titled "Merely Mothering and Other Myths," and whose interests in astronomy and science have enriched the lives of him and many others. They have a blended family with 10 adult children and 19 Grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT! Wake up each morning to the sounds of TWO babbling streams that bracket the cabin! If you're looking to escape the bustle and heat of the valley you can be relaxing next to a stream or nestled up to a warm fireplace in less than 15 minutes from Salt Lake (30 min from Salt Lake International Airport).

Whether you are looking for a perfect ski vacation in the winter, a mountain bike adventure in the summer or just a romantic getaway anytime of year for a few nights, this cabin will be the perfect destination.

What makes this property unique

Sure, you can rent a house or condo in Salt Lake City and then drive to the ski resorts or beautiful mountains or other attractions of this lovely area. But for a Real Vacation, those alternatives are Nothing Like a private cabin (on the river, in the mountains) that is easily accessible but feels like you are in the middle of Nature. Walk out the back door and hike as high as you want to . Or hike up along the stream behind the cabin (you'll have to break your own trail in many sections) several miles to its source at Lake Blanche [alternatively, you can go up the road in front of the cabin for 3 or 4 hundred yards to the main Lake Blanch trailhead -- from which it is about a 3.5 mile hike {one way, with a 2600 foot elevation change} on a well groomed trail to reach Lake Blanche. Beautiful view of Sundial Peak, and access to Lake Lillian and another small lake below Lake Blanche
