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.

We really loved this place. The location was excellent, close proximity to mtns, to local restaurants, downtown. The house was great and having the fenced yard was key for us and our dog. Michelle is a wonderful host, great communication, easy check in and check process. I would highly recommend this place for anyone travelling to the SLC area.

This was the perfect house and location for our family. We loved the history of the house and everything about it. It was so nice to have a yard for our dog and the bowls and crate were so helpful to have to use while we were there. All the amenities were great and we loved the Pac Man for our nightly tournaments!! The house was very clean and comfortable. Michelle was very responsive, friendly and helpful.

One of my favorite Airbnbs! The beds were incredibly comfortable, entire home was spotless, and the decor is adorable! The location is wonderful and the yard was perfect for our pups. Michelle is accommodating and gracious. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again.
