About this house rental

Gorgeously updated basement apartment with its own private entrance. This separate 1200 sq. ft. space includes a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry room, 2 large bedrooms, 2 TVs, 2 bathrooms with 1 bathtub and 1 deluxe shower panel, living room with a fireplace, office space, wifi, and more. 15 minutes from Downtown and 5 minutes from Big Cottonwood Canyon. 7 Ski Resorts within 40 Minutes! Shared Hottub on the deck with a city view and AMAZING sunsets! Covered parking and local hot spot advice available.

The space Located in a prime area of the Salt Lake Valley, this basement is all brand new and took a lot of blood, sweat and tears so please, do your best to take care of it. My brother Josh helps me manage the rental and lives upstairs with his wife and their dog. They are not home too often but there is potential for noise. I installed noise canceling insulation in the ceiling but some noise still comes through. Don't hesitate to text or call if you need them to keep it down. The space is spacious for 4 guests, good for 6 guests, and will accommodate a maximum of 7 guests. There is a keypad entrance so you can check-in just about whenever you need without having to check with us. There is brand new air conditioner and furnace. This is a quiet neighborhood. I take a lot of pride in making your stay comfortable and fun so please let me know what I can do to improve it!

Bedroom 1: This large bedroom has a King size bed with a Zinus Ultima Comfort Memory Foam 12 Inch Mattress complete with 3" of high quality "BioFoam" (the highest quality of memory foam), 3" of of Pressure Relieving Comfort Foam, 6" of High-density Base Support Foam, all covered Soft Knitted Jacquard Fabric, all combined to provide you with an amazing nights sleep. WARNING: I slept on this mattress once and now I hate all other mattresses. Bedroom also has mood lighting (BYO Marvin Gaye album), closet, night stands, lamps, and a 36" flat screen TV complete with an Apple TV. The sofa can fold in to a full size bed, extra sheets in the closet, and is about as comfortable as you'd expect a sleeper futon to be. The extra queen-size blow up mattress is in the closet with sheets and blankets.

Bedroom 2: This slightly-smaller-but-still-pretty-big bedroom has a queen bed with a mattress topper, closet, hutch, laundry basket, night stands, and lamps. Oh and mood lighting, of course.

Laundry: We've provided a large capacity washer and dryer.

Bathroom 1: This bathroom offers a newly tiled shower with a clear glass door and shower panel. This shower panel is the Taj Mahal of showers. It includes waterfall, rainfall, misters, body jets, regular ol' shower head with 3 pressure settings, temperature display, LED color lighting, and a foot wash spout. Necessities and complimentary toiletries are provided including clean, soft towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and washcloth.

Bathroom 2: This bathroom offers a classic bathtub to soak in and if you like boring old shower heads over multi-function shower panels then you're in luck because this bathroom has one. It also has a mountain-themed shower curtain. Necessities and complimentary toiletries are provided including clean, soft towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, washcloth, and hair dryer.

Kitchen: Brand new stainless steel appliances; 5-burner stove, fridge with ice maker, microwave, oven, dishwasher, and sink with disposal. The kitchen is well-equipped including a coffee maker, and a blender. The kitchen has a dining table for 3 for sit down meals. Kitchen complete with nearly all the conveniences of home.

Living Room: Great open concept for family and friends, large 50" flat screen complete with Roku set up with Hulu and Showtime accounts logged in. The couch is brand new (as of 12/23). There is an available inflatable mattress for 2 additional guests. There is free high-speed internet throughout. The front room also has a vintage wood-burning stove for cozy winter nights (please abide by local fire restrictions, many winter nights are "no burn" days in SL county and enforced strictly).

Outside: This is a shared space between the guests and the home owners and their guests. Hottub is on the front deck which is gated. Help yourself through the gate anytime. Sometimes my brother’s dog hangs out on the balcony, if that’s the case, don’t hesitate to knock on the door or text us and will bring her right inside. There is a security camera in the car port by the entrance to the guest unit. I also have a Ring doorbell with video surveillance on the upstairs front door, which monitors the front porch including the hottub.

Guest access You will have the basement to yourself. You can park on the right side of the covered carport. The door is right in front of your parking spot and has a code so you can come and go as you please. It is ground-level so you won't have to worry about any stairs. My brother Josh lives upstairs with his wife and their dog Sadie. She’s a very friendly dog who likes to hangout on the deck so feel free to say hi to her if you’re a dog person (if you’re wanting to use the hot tub and Sadie is out just let them know and they’ll bring her inside). They are gone a lot but happy to chat or help out when they can. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I grew up in the area and have spent a lot of time in the outdoors here so feel free to reach out with questions or recommendations. Other things to note Kitchen is a fully stocked kitchen with a coffee maker, blender, pots, pans, toaster, microwave and hopefully anything else you need. Some pets may be allowed on a case by case basis and a $20/day pet fee. Pets must be fully potty trained, house trained, and quiet. There is no fenced yard.

As advertised. Nice views from the hot tub. Now, as I think about it, I recall that It was a little too warm and I couldn’t find a thermostat. So we left the windows open at night. This seems to be a thing with Salt Lake City VRBO’s - Basements are converted, but don’t get their own thermostat. Happened at the last place we were at too. Not really a big deal, but if its important to you might want to contact the owner first.

Overall great location and comfortable apartment. Josh was a friendly and attentive host. Minor complaints would be that we did not have control of the thermostat, but Josh gladly made adjustments when we asked, and at times there was minimal hot water. ( We assume we shared the hot water heater.) Also the TV had only basic Hulu. We did bring our own Roku which we were able to use. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

There are many things wrong with this rental. The description is totally wrong. It says: Gorgeously Remodeled Basement Apartment with Hottub & Incredible City View. It was remodeled 6 years ago. The hot tub is above the apartment on the porch to the hosts home. It is a fenced in area where they keep the dog. Needless to say I never used it.From the apartment there is no city view. You look into the car port from the living room window. The fireplace is a wood stove insert with no viewing of the fire. All it would do is heat the apartment. The second bedroom bed is old and sags badly. I noticed dangerous fire issues. The rug goes right up to the insert. There were wires lying against the water heater flue. The sheets were cheap to begin with and are now old and stained. During my stay the washing machine did not work for over a week. The couch that was unusable took over a week to replace. The host offered no compensation. The TV in the bedroom never worked except when plugged into a laptop. No effort was made by the host to repair it. There were many other issues. I have stayed in many short term rentals. This was by far my worst experience.

Stayed here for 6 nights to ski. It was perfect size for 4 adults. This place has everything you need . The location is excellent. It is close to the access roads for skiing and any restaurant/ store you would want. Highly recommend and would definitely go back!

This is a nice apartment on the bottom floor of a home. We came to Utah to ski. It was clean and quiet. Comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. Plenty of restaurants and grocery stores and ski rental places within a 5-10 minute drive. 25 minute drive to Brighton/ Solitude, but you need to leave early. If you don’t have a 4WD, the bus stop to go to resorts is 7-9 minutes up the road with parking. But again get there early. (7am) Would love to come stay here again! The snow was amazing!! I never needed to contact host as instructions were great.
