About this property

East Bench Escape- Minutes to Ski Resorts & Hiking

Escape to this spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bath, lower-level retreat on Salt Lake's desirable East Bench. After a day of adventuring, relax inside with the comforts of home or take advantage of the backyard pickleball court. You will have a private keyless entrance, free on-site parking, and a quiet cul-de-sac setting. Ideally located less than 20 miles from major ski resorts, with easy access to Park City, downtown Salt Lake, the airport, restaurants, and the freeway.

PLEASE NOTE: This home consists of two rental units, this is the listing for the LOWER level. Each unit has it's own private entrance and designated parking spots.

This spacious walk-out basement apartment is part of a rambler-style home and features its own completely private entrance with no shared indoor spaces or access to the upstairs. At over 1,700 square feet, the home feels bright and open, and with its ground-level entry and large windows, it doesn't feel like a typical basement apartment.

Step outside to enjoy the expansive backyard with lush grass, mature trees, a fire pit, picnic table, BBQ grill, and a relaxing porch swing. Guests also have access to a private sport court for pickleball and basketball. We provide basketballs and pickleball equipment, though avid pickleball players may prefer to bring their own paddles.

Other things to note

Two important things to note: 1. This is a great property for family, friends and business travelers. In all honesty it is simply not for people intending to party all night or people who will be having many visitors coming and going.

The residence was comfortable, clean, and was easy to access in a quiet neighborhood. The backyard was large and had access to a pickleball or basketball court. The host was great to communicate with and we had a great time. It was near all of our activities and in a great location for us.

We were in town for treatment at a local center. This was a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of a hotel or on site housing. Very nice quiet area but still close to where we needed to be. Clean, comfortable and cozy.Neal and Sherri were great, very accommodating to any needs we had.

Very spacious - kitchen was enjoyably complete - utensils, pans, all the basic spices. Bathroom was similarly well appointed. Private backyard pickleball court was an unexpected pleasure. Conveniently located to Great Salt Lake, Park City, everywhere we wanted to go.

Wonderful family home with flexible spaces.

Beautiful setting on a dead end street, but so close to everywhere! Beautiful gas fireplace/heater, well stocked kitchen and bath. Nice covered parking, very attentive snow removal.

Great place in a beautiful location

Neal and Sherri were great hosts. Their place is really nice with lots of room. Also a beautiful yard and views of the wasatch mountains was spectacular. For us it was perfect. We went for a wedding less than a mile away. It would be an awesome family ski destination. Also the great things happening in Salt Lake City tinsee and do. You wouldn’t go wrong with this place. If we ever return we hope to stay there again.

Great, roomy place for a family

Great spot for our family to stay. Centrally located, roomy, everything was stocked wonderfully, and very clean. Only improvement would be a better functioning air conditioner - it worked, but got hot at night.
