We’re sure you’re going to fall in love with The Hideaway! This charming, two-bedroom, full-basement apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood at the base of the Wasatch Mountains. You’ll have easy access to local hiking trails and world-class ski resorts. Incredible views of the mountains are right outside your door. It’s ideally situated near outdoor adventure and an easy commute to many local delights (including grocery stores like Trader Joes, restaurants, attractions, and adventure).

We have everything you’ll need to savor some time away in the beautiful Utah mountains and national parks — hiking, climbing, biking, or skiing.

Skiers, we are close to the slopes and 3 minutes from a ski shuttle. We also have a lockable ski rack and 2 heated blower boot warmers to make your powder experience even better!

What a wonderful place! Our hosts were so welcoming, with nice touches to make us feel at home. The apartment was well labeled and very clean. Everything we needed was available. This is a perfect place for skiers, very close to the shuttle or the canyons. I hope we'll be back!

This was a great stay! We had long days of trainings in Draper while we were there but it was nice coming back to a home. We were tucked away in a quiet subdivision. Beds were very comfortable and the place was fully stocked and very clean. We will definitely rebook here when we have to go back.

Of all the places I've stayed over the years this one is rated #1. Clean, modern, cleverly decorated, exceptional attention to details, hooks everywhere and did I say its perfect for a small family and close to everything the SLC AREA offers. Yes it has a hot tub, too!

Location was perfect, only 20 minutes from snowbird. Everything inside was set up to keep things as simple as possible and was perfect for us. We had 6 adults staying here and it was perfect. Bill was super responsive with any questions I had. I would definitely recommend staying here

Hi Travis, I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at the Hideaway! We'd love to have you back anytime. take care!
We stayed in some nice places during our USA roadtrip, but this place was special. You could feel the love that was put into this. My husband kept saying it over and over: „They put so much love and detail into this place!“ Everything you need and more is here. It is beautifully decorated, lit, and so comfortable; you feel right at home. During the whole stay, we kept finding things that were so special, whether it was a handwritten welcome note written in our own language, treats, bathrobes and towels, charging stations near the beds, extra spices/coffee, labels, detailed instructions and tips, etc., etc. It is in a quiet neighborhood but very close to amenities. We couldn‘t have picked a better place for our stay. Thank you so much for making our trip so special!

Hi Carol, thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot to us. We enjoyed having you stay with usand it was a pleasure to get to know you. If you’re ever back in the states, you have a place to stay! God bless!
We had a lovely stay at the Hideaway, we found the place to be cozy and clean. We enjoyed the hot tub, loved the coffee/tea station. We were in Sandy for a sports tournament and the Hideaway gave us a soft place to recover each day, laundry for those stinky jerseys, a full kitchen with lots of basics on hand. The bathroom appears newly renovated, soap/shampoo and lots of towels were provided for our use. There were games and books, which we did not use due to our hectic schedule, but would be fun if we had time, a thoughtful touch. Our Hosts Bill & Mary were super responsive and helpful. We all said we would return to the Hideaway for future tournaments.

Sure! Here's a revised version of your review:
This place is a hidden gem! From the fully equipped kitchen to the plush bedding, every detail has been thoughtfully arranged to make your stay comfortable. After a long day of hiking, coming back to relax, enjoy a delicious dinner, unwind in the hot tub, and watch a movie is pure bliss. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure your experience is unforgettable. Nestled in the perfect spot in the valley, this is truly a place you won’t want to leave. Look no further—this is the ideal retreat!

Thanks Tom! We enjoyed hosting you! Come back again soon!
The Hideaway is a very nicely furnished property that was perfect for a ski trip to Alta and Snowbird. My teen son and I used it as our base for seven great days of holiday skiing. The apartment is very nicely furnished, quiet, very clean, warm, well-lit, and with a well-equipped kitchen. There is a fenced-in hot tub that we happily used every day after returning from skiing. It could easily work for a smaller family or group of up to four people. It is close to the 994 ski bus that we took to the ski resorts each day, and it is also close to Little Cottonwood Canyon itself if you choose to drive up. (The bus was a great option to have as you don't need to worry about parking reservations or traction law requirements on snowy days). The property is in a quiet upscale suburban neighborhood but it is close to anything you might need. There are loads of dining and shopping options nearby and downtown SLC is about 20 minutes away.The hosts were very clear and communicative about checking in and out as well as touching base about any needs. We had no problems whatsoever in our stay and found them very clear and available about all necessities. I would definitely recommend this property and if we come back for more skiing we will certainly try to stay there again.

Bill & Mary were awesome hosts. Everything in the place was labeled so you knew where to find everything.It was very clean and inviting. They definitely pay attention to details too many to mention. They even brought us fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.If you’re looking for a place to stay in Salt Lake look no further.
