Interaction with Guests:
Please note that pets are not allowed anywhere in Big Cottonwood Canyon due to watershed restrictions. Smoking and unauthorized parties are strictly prohibited.
For your safety, the home is equipped with exterior security cameras that monitor only the outside areas. During winter, guests should avoid walking along the sides or behind the house due to snow and ice fall from the roof.
The hot tub is professionally serviced each week—please do not add chemicals, but a small container of defoamer is available in the garage if needed. Guests are also asked not to enter or wade into the creek behind the home, as it is part of a protected watershed area.
- No sledding or climbing on the rock wall near the driveway
- The home does not have air conditioning, but summer evenings are cool and fans are provided in every bedroom
