Airbnb and Vrbo rental. Rustic Modern Chalet & Stunning Mountain Suite on Seven Acres at Sundance.Megan Batoon, NetFlix Host of World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, said: "I can't say enough good things about this experience. The house and amenities were immaculate - the kitchen spacious, with gigantic picture windows that let in light and nature while you're cooking. Fully stocked with spices and the double sinks allow multiple guests to co-cook together. I felt like a little kid in ultimate luxury, walking down the trail to the spring river for a quiet morning meditation, jumping on the trampoline in between ziplining and watching movies in the theatre room with state-of-the-art surround sound. Staying here is truly like staying in an idyllic summer camp. One minute away from Sundance (I recommend Foundry Grill- incredible food for dinner) and the steam shower will live rent-free in my mind forever until I have one installed in my own house. We came for an artistic retreat and to get reinspired, and that's exactly what happened. Reading by the hot tub, writing on the outdoor table, and taking archery breaks before diving back into our creative work was as refreshing as the verdant landscape surrounding this oasis. ... Thank you David for your hospitality, Utah will forever have a dedicated space in our hearts and we can't wait to come back to see it in the winter!"Designed and created an original first-class zip line adventure.
