10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time in a 30 day period that I have stayed here! My goodness there are so many positive characteristics of this home. First of all it’s just so open, uncluttered and visually appealing. The landscaping is 5 star. The terraced yard has so many beautiful plants which combine with the clean lines and interesting textures to create a peaceful oasis. In the daytime you can listen to birds and sit down on the modern outdoor furniture in the plentiful shade. In the evening the up lights and fairy lights create a moody, intimate atmosphere for relaxing with friends and family. We enjoyed several more evenings of incredible sunsets and views during our stay. I really can’t say enough positive things about the gorgeous location and views! This home is immaculate and has everything we needed for a special visit to Salt Lake City. Our host, Adam, is warm, inviting, professional and responsive. It was such a pleasure to be a guest in his home!"
