About this property

Gorgeous 1890 University Historic District Home

I have spent years restoring this historic home myself and have created a beautiful and comfortable space. A block from the University of Utah, nestled in the University Historic District and steps from dining, shopping, parks, and recreation. Only a 30-45 min drive up three main canyons for skiing and snowboarding.

Full of original art and antiques from around the world and with a quiet, fenced yard with outdoor lounging & dining. I live here several months a year and rent out the remaining months. I invite you into my home to enjoy what it offers you! Max 4 guests. No cats, and dogs accepted upon approval.

Tenants in loft above garage are allowed to store items in garage and pull up to garage to load/unload for a limited time.

There are a few lovely plants to keep you company and all they ask in return is a some water and a little love. I will send reminders for when to water.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great Location

This little house is walking distance from the University of Utah which is great for attending events at the college or at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The house is very old and charming. The best part is the backyard space. It is nice to have a private place to spend outdoor time in the middle of the city.

Lovely home in a cool area

We stayed for Sundance and had a chance to explore SLC and Park City in between movies. We found it was very easy and cheap to get around using transit, and rented a car to visit the Homestead Crater, the Ice Castles, Spiral Jetty, Promontory Point, and a few others, all of which were totally manageable from this great location. Carol was super friendly and happy to help us out as needed, the place was beautiful, interesting, and clean. 10/10 would totally stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
I own properties in New Orleans (a duplex) and Salt Lake City (two separate units) and move between the two cities. I am an avid animal lover, photographer, writer, and landlord of four dwellings.

Why they chose this property

This is my main home so is furnished and decorated with all the beauty and comfort that I like to enjoy myself. I travel a lot and have art and unique objects from all over the world. I cherish this home and love to share it while I am in New Orleans for a few months every year. It is cozy and beautiful, you will love staying here.

What makes this property unique

The house is nestled in the University Historic District, a few blocks from downtown and convenient to all the canyons.
