Awesome Property

My daughter and I stayed for some spring skiing. Location was absolutely perfect to access both Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons. Cottage was clean and cozy. Hosts were friendly and welcomed us with delicious homemade bread and salsa. We were even able to throw a lacrosse ball in the beautiful backyard. We hope to go back again.

Ski Trip to Alta/Snowbird/Snowbasin

We have been staying at the Ivy Cottage for several years for our Spring Break ski trips. It is right at the base of Little Cottonwood Canyon and super convenient for skiing at Alta/Snowbird. It is also fully equipped to cook your own meals and close to local shopping. The hosts are excellent as well and we will be back!

A peace of tranquility

The Ivy Cottage is a great place to stay while visiting SLC. The cottage has everything one would need. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was well stocked. Hosts were easy to work with and were very considerate (they even provide some treats, which were much appreciated). We were skiing and this location was great as it was very close to the slopes (10 minutes from Alta or Snowbird). The views were fantastic and setting was very peaceful. Would have loved to see the garden as one can tell that it is well taken care of.
