Good to know

Built in 1916, this classic Sugar House bungalow is a true piece of history! Lovingly remodeled and updated while preserving its original charm, it reflects the craftsmanship and design of early 20th-century homes. 🔹 What to Expect in a Home of This Era: Cozy, Smaller Rooms: Bedrooms were designed for function over excess space, typical of early 1900s architecture. Unique Layout: Many homes from this time were built without hallways, meaning some rooms must be accessed through others. Original Hardwood Floors: These have been refinished but may have charming creaks. Clawfoot Tub: A vintage staple! Please step in carefully (we provide a grab bar for safety). Quirks & Character: Slightly uneven floors, original built-ins, and other period details make this home unique! 🔹 The Sugar House Neighborhood: One of Salt Lake City’s oldest and most vibrant areas, Sugar House was originally settled in the late 1800s and is named after the Utah Sugar Company, one of the first businesses in the state. The area is now known for its walkable streets, historic bungalows, independent shops, breweries, and parks—blending the charm of the past with a lively modern vibe! While this home has been beautifully remodeled and well-maintained, it is over a century old, meaning it isn’t “perfect” like a brand-new build. If you appreciate historic craftsmanship, timeless charm, and a home with a story to tell, this is the perfect stay for you! * Just blocks from dining, parks, breweries, shopping, and more! * 10 miles (14 minutes) to the Airport * 20 miles (30-45 minutes) to Park City, Snowbird, and Brighton Ski Resorts * 4 miles (10 minutes) to Downtown Salt Lake City * 0.3 miles (1 minute) to nearest EV Charging Station BEDROOM 1: King Bedroom, closet, dresser, full length mirror, phone chargers, and fan.

Absolutely LOVED this place. It had every amenity we could think of and had two twin beds perfect for our young kids. It had a beautiful fenced in yard that was bigger than I expected based on the pictures. Decorations were very cute. Great neighborhood about a 5 min drive from great shopping and dinning in Sugar House. Next time we come back to SLC, I will be booking this place!

Michelle’s place was just what we needed while we were moving out of state! She was a great communicator and welcoming to our dogs, which we really appreciated. Her house is in a super walkable area and the yard was a great space for our pups!

We love the Sugarhouse area so this was a convenient and fun location for us. We have previously stayed at two other locations Michelle offers, so we were excited to be here. She puts a lot of thought and effort into her homes and we always feel right at home when we travel.
