My husband, our dog and I enjoyed our stay in this spacious home in a lovely neighborhood full of a variety of older homes with character. Fall leaves on mature trees added to the experience. Inside the home were 2 cozy seating areas, 3 bedroom with comfy beds, washer and dryer. Outside were a fenced backyard And a heated jacuzzi ready to be used at any time!!! The owner assured us she would be on hand if we needed anything. Entry was easy. Park with ducks, aviary, children rides was within easy walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Paige Paulsen

Host profile image
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.
