They could hear us and we could hear them. It was kind of awkward at times. If you’re looking for an exclusive stay this is not a good place to book. ##### Blake W.

The beds were super comfortable and the hot tub was top tier. It was a great location for us. The only improvements that could be made would be a starter coffee pack in case you are unable to get to the grocery store on your way in. I would recommend this listing to others. ##### Mark M.

Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This place was exceptional! Location was 10 minutes from our kids. We were welcomed by the landlord and communication was good. The backyard was a nice hangout place with family playing corn hole, games, hammock, talking, gym & grilling out; never did the camp fire as time got away from us. Accurate description of house. Comfortable beds. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pans, various spices. A cheese shredder & a couple more mixing bowls/storage containers would be nice to have but we managed without. Not having to buy toilet paper, shampoo & conditioner, soap, paper towel, dish soap/dishwasher soap & laundry detergent was helpful as it was already provided. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a place in Salt Lake City. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your place! ##### Kimberly R.

Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate H. Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home base Awesome home base for a trip to SLC. The home was super clean. Host extremely responsive and kind, helping us deal w delayed arrival on account of flight cancellation and understanding when we set off the smoke alarm cooking breakfast. The home was well equipped and comfortable. Great backyard! We visited in winter so the hot tub was our extent of its use but still a luxury at the end of a ski day. As for the area, things like groceries and gas were extremely close. Food wasn’t terribly exciting in Taylorsville but very convenient. Not a problem though as the house was 15-30 from everything- downtown, park and ride up the canyon, airport, bowling, etc. Lots of sidewalks and a long greenway if you’re an early morning runner. Heads up that the frozen drink/ slushy machine pictured isn’t for guest use. Info provided in case you have observant kids traveling w you . Garage has racks for skis and a boot dryer. Highly recommend! ##### Kate H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mike W. Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Mike W.
