About this property

The Fortress

The Fortress is designed for comfort and relaxation, with plenty of natural light and stunning views of the red mountains from the private deck. You’ll love unwinding in the spacious living room, featuring an 80-inch smart TV for movie nights and an electric reclining couch that’s so comfortable, it feels like you’re floating on a cloud.

The bedroom is your personal retreat with a KING-size bed piled high with soft pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom is a standout feature, offering custom tile work, dual shower heads, including a luxurious rainfall shower head, and stylish finishes that make it feel like your own private spa.

If you need extra sleeping space, just let us know—we’ve got a twin rollaway bed and a queen air mattress available.

One of the best parts of The Fortress is its location right across from Canyon Park. Take a leisurely stroll on the paved trail that runs along Coal Creek, surrounded by majestic red mountains. It’s the perfect way to start your day or wind down in the evening.

And to make your stay even more convenient, you’ll have full access to the two-car garage—a rare perk that’s especially handy during winter months or when coming back from a day of exploring. Park comfortably and keep your vehicle safe from the elements!

Guest Access
During your stay, the whole place is yours to enjoy! Relax in the living area, cook up a meal in the fully stocked kitchen, and rest easy in the comfortable bedroom. Plus, you’ll have full access to the two-car garage—perfect for secure parking and keeping your vehicle snow-free during the winter months.

Shared Spaces
Just a quick heads up—the backyard is shared with our other unit, The Zen Den, located right in front of The Fortress. You might run into other guests (or their friendly pups) while enjoying the fully fenced yard. It’s a great spot for some dog-friendly fun—just be sure to clean up after them.

We’re excited to host you at The Fortress! If you need anything to make your stay more comfortable or memorable, just reach out. We’re here to help!

Amazing and comfy stay!

This was the perfect stay for me and my family. We came to Utah for a ski trip and it had everything we needed. It was close to restaurants and markets, they had a fenced area for our dogs to run around. The stay was very cozy and it was equipped with every thing we needed. Will definitely be back again in the future

Great Place for a Couple

The property was very clean, and nicely appointed. The living room couch was very comfortable (which I often find is not the case in other rentals). My husband and I enjoyed our stay, and would recommend the place. No charge for our pet, which we appreciated.
