Typically covered with 500+ inches of snow, Alta is a world-renown ski area for those who want to ski deep powder like none other with the Greatest Snow on Earth. Summertime is just as beautiful with Wildflowers in full bloom in July and places to rock climb, bike and enjoy a slew of activities at nearby Snowbird Resort. Keep your eyes open when hiking, Moose families are not uncommon when visiting the lakes, rivers and meadows that splatter across the mountain landscape. No swimming or dogs are allowed as the area is a Watershed for the population in the Valley below.

INTERLODGE: Interlodge is a safety restriction on outdoor travel and activities ordered by the Marshall in the Town of Alta. The Marshall's Office and/or Snowbird Safety, may require, at any time, that guests stay indoors until avalanche control and road danger is mitigated. Sometimes it involves the whole Alta/Snowbird area and sometimes just a certain section in the Canyon. The Alta Town Marshall and Snowbird Safety work hard to keep everyone in the area safe with little disruption to outdoor recreation. These events are beyond our control. Usually avalanche work commences in the early morning hours and is completed by about 9AM - but there are times when interlodge can be put into effect during the day and guests can be housebound for longer periods of time. For this reason we strongly encourage Travel Insurance.
We aim for boutique level service for all guests. Additionally we are fluent in English & Portuguese.

Had a great week at Alta. Condo was very clean and conveniently located between Alta and Snowbird with quick shuttle service to either mountain. Kitchen equipped well enough to make meals and appreciated coffee supplies. Cozy couch and fireplace to relax around at end of the day. As noted in a previous review, third bedroom with bunkbed is located right off dining area and does not have a real door and no baseboard heating but is equipped with a space heater. Also, you will hear foot traffic above and up/down stairwell of condo so if you are someone that likes to sleep in this may not be the right place for you to rent.
Great spot
The floor plan of the unit is exceptional. It's three bedrooms/three baths easily accommodate six people. without being crowded. The living/dining area is open and spacious. The property manager was responsive to our needs/questions. The location and view from the unit are beautiful. My husband and I are older and we were happy to have had one of our children help us carry bags, groceries, etc. up and down the several flights of stairs necessary to get to the unit. I didn't ask, but it may be possible to access the unit by elevator. Don't mean to suggest this takes away from the experience. Just that one might want to consider this when booking.
The condo is in an older building but it worked well for our family stay at the start of the summer season (4 adults and 2 children). Had everything we needed. There are quite a few stairs to reach the condo with your belongings so would be difficult for those with mobility issues. Was nice to have designated garage space, although it is tight if have a larger vehicle. Overall we enjoyed our stay in this condo.
Roads were closed at arrival but our host set us up with alternate lodging for the first night and was wonderful about all my questions.
Great house. Long staircase to enter & depart
There is nothing worse than booking a place to stay and sleep then having terrible beds. I took pictures and if I could post them I would. The 2 king beds were split king beds which is 2 twin XL mattresses side by side. The mattresses are about 10 years overdue for a change out. We could not sleep near the center of the bed as the middle 18 inches of the bed was about 1 inch higher than the hole we were sleeping in on the remainder of the mattress. The owners put a piece of foam in the middle of where the 2 mattresses met which only made it worse. They also had several mattress pads to try to make up for how bad the mattresses are. Needless to say we got very little sleep while we were there. The third bedroom appears to be a dinning room converted to a bedroom with no window and no second means of egress in case of fire. Not sure how/if that gets past the building code. If there is a fire and you can't get out the front door, don't plan on escaping. As shown in the main picture on the listing the sofa blocks the back door and even if you get out the snow is so high outside the door all you will be able to do is stand on the porch. If you just want a place where you can prepare food and sit on a sofa you will be just fine. Don't plan on getting a good nights rest.
Traditional mountain condo perfectly situated right in between both awesome resorts. Large parking garage allowing clearance for my truck (7+ft). Jeff was very helpful and responsive as host.
A perfect stay near Alta with covered parking that avoids all morning and evening traffic. Hot tub was a big hit after full ski days
Good floor plan, accommodates gatherings well while providing privacy if wanted. Great location for hiking in Little Cottonwood. Covered parking for one car is a plus. Onsight manager responsive and helpful. Need to be able to negotiate several flights of stairs from the parking area to access the unit. Would not recommend for people with disabilities or mobility issues.
