Quirky Snow Globe

Holiday Rental Description

If you’re looking for the total package, this home in Alta clearly didn’t compromise on location, interior, or views. With ski-in and ski-out access to the Snowbird Resort, you can spy the curve of a mountain here, the tops of pine trees there, and a sweep of white whenever the snow has come down – all from the living room window. Said window, by the way, is one of many in the home that reaches from the floor almost all the way up to the 20-foot ceilings. Pad down here first thing in the morning to brew a fresh cup of coffee before curling up on the sofa from where you can admire the view under a throw blanket.

Get the statement fireplace kindled and then get started on breakfast. The kitchen, with gorgeous marble tops and touches of mint green, is fully equipped to take on a messy cook, so throw yourself into mixing batter. By the time the rest of the group has come to join, they can top their pancakes in whatever creative way they choose before finding a seat at the kitchen island or the quirky dining table.

Hit the slopes whenever you’re ready, knowing you can come back anytime to kick your feet up in a cosy space oozing charm and quirky elegance. If you’re the only one staying in, why not see if you can spot the others as they face the ski runs. In the summer, you’ll find this area perfect for hiking, and Salt Lake City is just under a forty-minute drive away for you to explore whilst you’re Utah’s neck of the woods.
