If I could give a 500/5 star review I would. I rented this property to celebrate my 30th Birthday and Paige was absolutely incredible in working with me. The home itself was more than I could have ever hoped for, super spacious, really cozy and the layout gave lots of places for people to just hangout and enjoy themselves. Everything about this property exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend staying here. Parking is super easy and is close to lots of things if anyone needed to make a quick run. The bedrooms were so cute and I loved the decor inside, the beds were soooo soft and soooo cozy. I am so beyond happy with my experience. Thank you so so much Paige for sharing your wonderful home!

Great Location
Wonderful stay in SLC! This is a great, quiet road (minus the dogs next door). Our children enjoyed walking the sidewalks in the morning and the garden. Paige was extremely polite, we didn’t really need anything but she made us feel welcome. We will be using this property again whenever we visit!

Great Winter Stay
The property was spacious and perfectly located on a quiet street with easy access to everything SLC has to offer in the Winter. The renovated downstairs area was very comfortable and a nice gathering space to relax. Paige was very responsive and attentive from booking through checkout.. Thanks for a great stay. We hope to be back.

Beautiful inside and out!
We were so excited to stay here! We fell in love with the pictures but they really don’t do it justice. The beautiful front and back yards, the hot tub, and the comfortable feel of the home, really made our stay here amazing! The house is much bigger inside than it looks from the outside! There were five of us staying in the house (three adults and two kids) and we all had so much room! There was a whole room untouched. The basement was stylishly put together and includes a washer and dryer. Smart T.V. so you can watch all the videos you take of your trip everyday! Full kitchen with pots, pans, coffee pot, and utensils. House was clean and felt very inviting. Communication was great, very sweet and kind. I would definitely stay here again when we visit Utah. Thank you, for sharing your home with our family! Highly recommend 10/10

Lovely home & everything you need!
My husband I stayed here, at Kensington Garden, with our 2 college age sons. It was a great way to be in SLC but also be in a walkable residential area. The place was nicely decorated and Paige had everything you would need for cooking, watching tv, and hanging out in a comfortable environment! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly!

Wonderful Host and Property ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
This property is in a great neighborhood🏠. Close to lots of places to explore including parks and restaurants 🍽. Paige our host should get ten stars. The backyard is beautifully maintained, enjoyable to sit and work outside on a laptop for us telecommuters. The downstairs suite offered a great place to relax, watch tv and unwind. Plus the beds are very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. It’s on our SLC favorites❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Perfect Getaway Home
I loved everything about this home. The location, the size, and the hospitality of the homeowner. The only thing I can even think about complaining about is the upstairs got a bit warm without any cool air source. The downstairs stayed consistently cool the whole weekend

Beautiful home
We had a wonderful stay in Salt Lake City in Paige's home. The house had everything we needed and was very well stocked, more so than any other VRBO we have stayed in the past. We really enjoyed the backyard and hot tub. Liberty Park is close by and walked the dog several times feeling very safe. The house is in a great location going to several parks, downtown and to Park City. We had some questions for Paige and she was quick to respond and help make the house run smooth. We are coming back this winter and look forward to our stay again. Would definitely recommend Paige's home for your stay in Salt Lake City!

Definite win, few things to know
This property was exactly as listed. Just close enough to walk to Liberty park which is great. 10/10 would stay again. Few things to know more as FYI: upstairs bed is fairly lumpy/worn and destroyed our backs until we tried the downstairs beds night 3 which are bothAMAZING. Sleep downstairs. The air cooler/fan system they have worked really well at end of June hot 90°s stay. Other somewhat negative is left sided neighbors have REALLY aggressive dogs that seem to spend 24/7 outside. They would bark and ram the gate whenever we were outside to the point of not wanting to spend time outside at all. We had dogs with us and it was so intense I had to watch their bathroom breaks to keep them from fence. Dogs did this when it was only humans outside too. Overall great house though and would stay again :) Just helpful to know those tidbits.

Spacious, clean and comfortable home. Good Location
I rented the house for my siblings, spouses and 2 kids who were in town visiting us. We don't have room in our SLC eastside bungalow and were looking for a house where we could all hang out at. The house was perfect for what we wanted. First, it was clean and well cared for! The bedrooms felt spacious for this area, the living spaces (3 of them) gave us room to visit, kids to color or play board and card games, cook, and play with the chess set she had out. We had good weather and were able to enjoy the back yard during the day. It was beautiful right now with the rain we had and private. We loved walking to Liberty Park, Amour Cafe, and the Asian Market and other shops along 4th East and 9th South. The kitchen was well stocked, which for a family who wasn't eating out at night was handy. She has containers for leftovers and all the basic tools to cook good meals. We didn't meet Paige herself, but did talk on the phone. Next time family is in town, this will be the first house I see about availability and hopefully meet her in person.

Lovely stay over winter holidays!
This was a lovely property and the host was so responsive and helpful! We had several adults, a teenager, and two kids in our party and stayed here for the holidays while visiting local family, skiing, and exploring Salt Lake. The location is perfect, just a few blocks from Liberty Park, several great coffee shops, and only a 5-10 minute drive to pretty much anywhere else in the city. The layout of the house worked well for the large group, with some space for the little kids to play with their toys without being in the way of everyone else, as well as the basement for board game nights, laundry, and spending time together in the evening after the kids had gone to bed. The hot tub was lovely, with easy-to-use settings for heat and jets and cute little twinkle lights. The place was pet friendly, so we did bring one dog as well. The only downside was the kitchen space, which was too small for as many adults as we had, with the oven in an awkward space that only allowed for one person to cook at any given time, and not much counter space for food prep. It might also have been nice if there'd been a few toys/games for the kids (as it was, our local family simply went to the thrift store to pick some things up for the week, which worked fine). Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay here, would stay again, and would definitely recommend this property to others.
