Location was in a quiet, upscale neighborhood on a street with no through traffic. Hosts were gracious and communicated well. Made us feel welcome and appreciated. They offered pleasantries we have not had before - e.g. a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival.Kitchen was modest but well equipped.Internet worked well, even for streaming YouTube videos.Overall it was very good experience. Highly recommended.

Great hosts. Great communication. Incredibly hospitable and accommodating. Kitchen was well stocked. Lots of nice, well thought out touches throughout. Had everything we needed for our stay. Proximity to Alta/Snowbird can’t be beat. Perfect place for a Father/Son ski trip.

We have stayed in many short term rentals, and this one is easily in the top five. The hosts are the most wonderful humans and clearly love welcoming people to this lovely cottage behind their home. Eric welcomed us upon arrival (despite it being 10pm) and walked us through the cottage to show us all features. Shauna insisted on plying us with baked goods, having Eric deliver them with instructions to eat the chocolate banana bread while it was still warm. Every amenity was considered - from robes to jars of peanuts and M&Ms to a bottle of wine - and the kitchen was one of the most completely stocked we've seen. There was a selection of teas and hot chocolate, and even books and games were available. When we had a problem with one of the toilets, Eric had it fixed while we were out. We truly felt like visiting family while we stayed at the Ivy Cottage and will absolutely come back!

We were greeted by Eric on arrival, he walked us through in making sure we were well informed of all amenities. Wow, a personal touch rare to see. Clean, super well equipped kitchen, numerous personal touches. Many late afternoons relaxing after spring skiing gazing at the view as the sun set. Thx and shall be back soon

IMPRESSIVE!!!The Ivy Cottage was the best EVER!! So many thoughtful amenities than I’ve ever had at a vacation rental. They offered robes, slippers, spa sandals, ski gloves/helmets, boot warmers, laundry supplies, treats, tasty homemade salsa w/chips, wine, seasonings, & many other kitchen essentials & so much more than I could list herein. I see why they have a 5 STAR rating. I’m spoiled now as I move on with my adventure to 2 more vacation rentals for the next 3 weeks.As a solo woman traveler I felt safe here & appreciated the peace & quiet. I felt at home. Even the sound of the wind chimes were pleasing to the ear. My intention was to ski but I only got 2 of 5 days in. Rained Tues/Wed, but when Friday came the thought of sleeping in the upper room was more appealing than skiing at a crowded resort. It’s sincerely hard to depart from this wonderful place.One of the GREATEST part of my stay was Eric’s amazing massage, with brushing, tuning fork, oils, etc. So good!! I had a massage Monday and couldn’t leave without another massage Friday. I will definitely come back for more massages when I return homeward to the Sierra Nevada, CA towards the end of my trip. Of course if I ever need to come to this area again, I will seek the Ivy Cottage!!Blessings to the Madsen’s, their family and all those who are privileged to stay at the Ivy Cottage.Soaring Eagle The lone eagle traveler
