The Chalet Day Johns is located very close to where the Bypass Road rejoins the State Highway 210 (the main road), below the Alta Peruvian Lodge. To get to Alta from this home, you have a couple of easy options. You can walk to the Alta Peruvian Lodge and from there ski across the cat track over to the lifts. You can also jump on the free Alta Resort Shuttle which makes a continuous loop of the Bypass Road during daytime hours. The shuttle runs continuously during the day. It will typically take just a few minutes to get up to the Collins or Sunnyside base areas at Alta. After skiing, you can utilize this same shuttle to bring you back to the property or you can ski home from Alta as well by accessing the Wildcat Access area and crossing the snowbridge back to the Peruvian Acres neighborhoods. To get to Snowbird to go skiing, you would just take that Alta Resort Shuttle to The View Condominiums stop to ski down the intermediate “Whodunnit” run to Snowbird. At the end of the day, you can return to that same location to hop back on the Resort Shuttle to go back to The Chalet Day Johns. Important note: Alta Resort Shuttle runs mid-December to early April. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Ski-in/ski-out access - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 8 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 9 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Things to do - Ski-in/ski-out access - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 6,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35850000/35847500/35847490/22f804d7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury for the Powder Hound, ski-in/out to Snowbird Alta - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=35847490&PinnedHotelID=35847490&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48480000/48475800/48475715/w1999h1332x1y1-e3ab0508.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Alta Utah Home with Hot Tub, Pool Table, Game Room and Chef's Kitchen Alta - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=48475715&PinnedHotelID=48475715&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71790000/71782500/71782433/d7cf52be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ski in/ski out to Alta in this bright, breathtaking new home that sleeps 12 with fireplace!

Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie S., Rancho Santa Fe, CA 6 Apr 2022 #### Great spot for extended family gathering Our extended family put Chalet Day Johns to the test. We had 23 people, ranging in age from 2 to 62, and cooked our own meals. Even with every bed occupied, the house felt comfortable and spacious. En suite bathroom in each bedroom is a huge plus. The pro kitchen makes it easy to crank out meals for a crowd. We had plenty of room to store our supplies in the two refrigerators (one in bar area). We liked the layout of the public areas, as we could all be together in the dining room, or split up into more manageable groups in the two living areas. The boot room kept our gear organized and dry. The shuttle service to the lifts is prompt and friendly, but the walk is very manageable, too. Communication with Alta Chalets and with the caretaker was excellent. Snow removal was excellent, but be sure your vehicle can handle the snow. All-in-all it was a great experience, and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. There really is nowhere else for a big group to go in Little Cottonwood, unless you are going to split up in hotel rooms or condos. The only reason I am deducting a star is because the ambiance and furnishings are not updated or stylish... but we don't come to Alta to be stylish, do we? CDJ gave us authenticity, comfort, and easy access to the greatest snow on earth. ##### Stephanie S.

We were 17 in number ranging from 8 adults, 5 teenagers and 4 between 10 and 12. The Chalet handled our crowd beautifully. The large two story dinning room with two tables for 12 was especially perfect. The rooms were large and accommodating, the boot room with heated driers was what we needed in a cold week as was the indoor hot tub. An excellent stay! (they could change the name to make it easier to remember) ##### Emily R. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Michael G. 20 Apr 2021 #### Closing Weekend at Alta We rented the Chalet Day Johns for a guys trip over closing weekend at Alta. The house's location is terrific, just a short walk (less than 1/4 mile) from the Wildcat base at Alta, or an even shorter drive. The walk may not always be possible depending on snow conditions, but it is about as close to the mountain as you could hope for without being ski on. The house itself is very nice and incredibly spacious. Each bedroom is quite large, and has multiple options for bedding configurations depending on the needs of your group. The hot tub was great after a day of skiing, and the kitchen and dining setup work well for a larger group. The only negative about Chalet Day Johns is that the furniture and finishings are quite dated. While everything was well maintained and in good working order, it is showing its age. That being said, I believe the home has a new owner and there may be some updates and improvements contemplated. Not sure what they have in mind, but with some updates, CDJ would be an easy 5 stars. We would definitely rent this home again. ##### Michael G.
