If you're flying into Salt Lake for meetings in Lehi, an onsite week at a company on the Point of the Mountain, or interviewing along the tech corridor, the hotel strip off I-15 isn't your only option. Ten minutes east, in Highland, there's a quiet 2,000-square-foot private suite built for exactly this trip.
What "Silicon Slopes" actually covers
Silicon Slopes isn't one place — it's the stretch of tech companies running from Draper down through Lehi, American Fork and into Provo and Orem. Most of the big campuses cluster around Thanksgiving Point and Lehi's Traverse Mountain. Highland sits just east of that cluster, tucked against the mountains: close enough to be at a Lehi office in about twelve minutes, far enough that you're sleeping in a residential neighborhood instead of next to a freeway.
Why a suite beats a hotel for a work week
Hotels near the corridor are fine for one night. For three to ten nights, different things matter: a real desk with fast, reliable internet, a kitchen so you're not eating out twice a day, a separate bedroom so calls don't happen from the bed, and somewhere to burn off a day of meetings. The Highland Suite was set up with those in mind:
- Fiber internet and a dedicated workspace — not a laptop on the kitchen counter. Video calls don't drop.
- Two private bedrooms — a king and a queen — so two colleagues can share without sharing a room, or a family can come along.
- Full kitchen with dishwasher, coffee maker, cookware and a dining table.
- Exercise room and direct access to the Murdock Canal Trail for a morning run.
- 80-inch home theater and a piano for evenings you'd rather stay in.
- Private entrance, self check-in and free parking — no lobby, no key handoff, no parking garage.
It's a daylight basement suite in a quiet residential neighborhood, hosted by Nycole, who lives upstairs and keeps it to a standard guests routinely describe as hotel-level. Sheets are hotel-quality, towels are thick, and there's a basket of the things people forget.
Booking direct vs. Airbnb
The same suite is listed on Airbnb, where it's rated 4.75 with reviews from business travelers, wedding guests and families visiting the valley. Booking here on coconycole.com uses the same calendar but skips Airbnb's guest service fee — typically 12–15% of the stay — so the same dates cost less. Stays of 28 nights or longer are welcome for extended onsites and relocations; ask about a monthly rate.
Where to eat and unwind near Highland
American Fork's Main Street and Lehi's Traverse Mountain area have most of the casual and sit-down options within 10–15 minutes. For a night out, Thanksgiving Point has restaurants, Ashton Gardens and the Museum of Natural Curiosity. With a free afternoon, American Fork Canyon and Timpanogos Cave National Monument are fifteen minutes up the road, and Sundance Resort is about 35 minutes for dinner with a view. Our Highland & Alpine visitor guide has the full list.
How far is the suite from the Lehi tech campuses?
Roughly 10–15 minutes by car depending on the office. Highland sits just east of the Lehi and Thanksgiving Point area.
Is the internet good enough for video calls all day?
Yes — fiber service with a dedicated desk. Guests who work remotely for the whole stay are common.
Can two coworkers share the suite?
Yes. Two private bedrooms (king and queen), one full bathroom, and a separate living room and dining area.
What's the earliest I can check in after a flight?
Standard check-in is 4:00 PM with a smart lock, so a late arrival is no problem. Early check-in can sometimes be arranged — message Nycole when you book.
Is there a discount for longer stays?
Yes. Weekly and monthly rates are lower per night; the calendar shows the current price for your dates, and 28+ night stays can be quoted directly.
