I'm from Rochester, NY and I moved to Salt Lake City in 1994 after several other stops. I have stayed here for the amazing skiing, climbing, canyoneering, hiking, biking, rafting and proximity to so many great National Parks. The snow is the best and the weather is great if you like sun and a high desert climate. I'm also an entrepreneur working on starting my own business in the action videography field. I worked for Kodak for several years as an engineer and then in sales and marketing. I am very customer service oriented and my goal is to give you the best VRBO experience you have ever had!

I have lived here since 1997 and although I have thought about selling because it's bigger than I need at this stage in my life I just couldn't do it and a friend suggested VRBO to share it with others and so I could still block out my own visits. The location is simply hard to beat if you are here for skiing, hiking, biking or just doing business in Salt lake City. The neighborhood is situated at the base of Grandeur Peak with beautiful Mount Olympus just to the South. Every time I look up at these mountains depending on season, time of day and weather they look different and amazing! You'll see what I mean when you stay here. You can hike, bike and even rock climb right out the front door without getting in a car. Everything including the airport is within less than 30 minutes from the house and that includes 6 major ski areas. There are a few more within an hour. Grocery, liquor store, restaurants, REI, Momentum Millcreek Climbing Gym just down the hill less than a mile. Just walking the neighborhood is amazing and a decent workout. I'm glad I didn't sell this home and now you too can see why I love it so much!

Sitting on the front porch to watch the sun rise over Grandeur Peak towering above as you sip your morning coffee is really special. My front yard is a favorite in the neighborhood so don't be surprised if someone compliments you as they walk by on their morning walk. In the evening that same porch is great for that pre dinner glass of wine as the orange sun lights up the mountains above. You can then step inside and watch the amazing sunsets over the Great Salt Lake out of the large windows in the living room. The living room glows orange at sunset. The kitchen, dining area and living room are open into one big space so if you're the chef you can keep talking to your family or friends lounging in the cozy living space or sitting around the island that includes the Thermador oven/stove. In the winter the setting is special and you may spot deer in the front yard or walking down the street or an Elk Herd up on the mountain above. The house is situated about 800 feet above the airport and city and at night the lights sparkle below you. If you happen to be here on the 4th of July or Utah's Pioneer Day (July 24th) you get the bonus of watching fireworks spread out across the valley below. There are a growing number of rentals in the Salt Lake Valley but the rentals in this special area are few and far between.
