Highs and lows

There are some real perks to this unit. The location is great and the hot tub was a real treat. The check-in process was simple and smooth. Communication with the host was pleasant. The house is well-furnished.However, there were some lows as well. Some were minor inconveniences—like the freezer not working and all our ice melting. The central air unit had some sort of prep-program that made it very hot overnight (pumping out heat in the summer). We couldn’t figure out any fixes so we slept with windows open and fans on.Most concerning was the fact that the dryer caught fire overnight the last night there. We woke up to smoke both downstairs and up. This is perhaps unpredictable, but the real problem is that the smoke alarms didn’t go off. Had we not been awoken by the smoke, we could’ve been in real danger.Some of the above issues (freezer, air con) we didn’t communicate to the host until the last day, so I don’t hold it against her that they weren’t addressed during our stay. However, the host’s response to our stated safety concerns was very nonchalant, which surprised us.

Great Stay in SLC

When traveling I look for 3 things when renting a home: 1) Comfortable and functional living space; 2) Nice surrounding area; 3) Good communication with owner. This listing checked off all 3 and I would definitely rent here again. The home is just as advertised and the owner has done a very nice job setting it up so folks will want to return. Thank you, Paige!

A Goofy Goober’s Dirty Thirty

If I could give a 500/5 star review I would. I rented this property to celebrate my 30th Birthday and Paige was absolutely incredible in working with me. The home itself was more than I could have ever hoped for, super spacious, really cozy and the layout gave lots of places for people to just hangout and enjoy themselves. Everything about this property exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend staying here. Parking is super easy and is close to lots of things if anyone needed to make a quick run. The bedrooms were so cute and I loved the decor inside, the beds were soooo soft and soooo cozy. I am so beyond happy with my experience. Thank you so so much Paige for sharing your wonderful home!

Beautiful inside and out!

We were so excited to stay here! We fell in love with the pictures but they really don’t do it justice. The beautiful front and back yards, the hot tub, and the comfortable feel of the home, really made our stay here amazing! The house is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside! There were five of us staying in the house (three adults and two kids) and we all had so much room! There was a whole room untouched. The basement was stylishly put together and includes a washer and dryer. Smart T.V. so you can watch all the videos you take of your trip everyday! Full kitchen with pots, pans, coffee pot, and utensils. House was clean and felt very inviting. Communication was great, very sweet and kind. I would definitely stay here again when we visit Utah. Thank you, for sharing your home with our family! Highly recommend 10/10

Couldn’t beat the heat!

When we first arrived at the property it was as expected. Nice neighborhood, with a beautiful front yard. However, when walked through the door… we quickly looked for the climate control for the home. To our dismay, there was only a window cooler which wasn’t sufficient. We contracted the owner and she said to open the window and use three outdated fans! The home hot throughout our stay. The home needs central air system! There needs to be notification on Vrbo on what type of heating and cooling systems the property has.
