Enchanting SLC Home near Downtown & Ski Resorts
Ski trip? Convention? Visiting family? ‘Kensington Garden’ home is the perfect base for your trip to Salt Lake! Downtown is just a few minutes away. World-class ski and recreation destinations are a short drive up the canyons. After a hard day of work or play, return to this enchanting home-away and soak in the hot tub in the lush, private backyard while your group’s chef prepares your dinner in the well-stocked kitchen. This is the place to rest and relax in comfort and style.
Lavish gardens and bright living spaces are just some of the comforts Kensington Garden provides. As you unwind, you’ll have access to high-speed internet, Smart TVs, a full laundry, and much more. Having a hard time finding dog-friendly lodging? Our home, with its fully-fenced yard, welcomes your four-legged friends too.
Inside the 1,700 sq ft home, you’ll find an open-concept living and dining area, with a well-stocked kitchen to whip up great meals. The two large living areas are great for conversation or watching your favorite movies on the flat-screen TVs. The grand dining table will seat your whole group comfortably. Beautiful art, comfortable furniture, and lots of extras will enhance your experience.
Sore from walking, hiking, or skiing all day? Step outside into the private back garden and sip on a cocktail while you soak in the large hot tub.
Don’t feel like cooking? No worries—dozens of award-winning, world class restaurants are a few minutes’ drive away.

Liberty Park with its duck-ponds, walking trails, swimming pool, playgrounds, and Tracy Bird Aviary, is a 6-block walk from the home. Just a little farther past Liberty Park is the Herman Franks Dog Park where your pet can play off leash and romp with some new pals.
Salt Lake is easy to get around. Public transportation is only 1 block from the house. Groceries, shopping, dining, movies, and entertainment are all a quick Uber ride or drive from our place. We provide a City Guide binder at the home with all of our favorite options outlined for you!

About the host
Hosted by Paige Paulsen
Living in Utah is perfect for me because my family is here and I love the outdoors. I bike and play tennis in the summers, cross-country ski in the winter and hike and play pickle ball all year long.
I am licensed as a CPA and an accounting professor at Salt Lake Community College. I have a small business called Holistic Accounting where I not only do accounting for individuals and small businesses but I work with people and their money issues.

Why they chose this property
I bought this house specifically to rent out as a vacation property. This is the only house I have so I've made sure it's nice. I have enjoyed using my creative energy in decorating it. I have poured my love and nurturing into caring for this home and preparing it for each guest. This is the kind of house I would like to stay in if I were visiting Salt Lake. I like the location of this home because it provides quick access to pretty much everything I am interested in doing.
What makes this property unique
Located near downtown, the famous Sugarhouse Shopping District, Liberty Park, a Dog Park, Trolley Square, the 7th East thoroughfare, restaurants, Costco, yoga studio, walking paths and many more places of interest.
