About this property

Tastefully updated home by University of Utah, 3 min walk to Rice Eccles Stadium

This updated 1920 Bungalow brick home is conveniently located within walking distance of the University of Utah, and a short 15 minutes from the airport, and 30 minutes from popular ski resorts in Park city and Cottonwood canyon. The Trax station at Rice-Eccles Stadium is one street east - only 2 minutes away so there is no need to rent a car, but there is off street parking for two regular sized vehicles if you do bring a car.

The VRBO Rental is for the main floor of this home. It is newly renovated and updated, with all brand new, tasteful furniture and has central air (cooling and heating), 2 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, with 2 comfortable beds (one king, one queen), a 14 foot comfortable couch, 1 bath, full kitchen, access to washer&dryer, driveway parking, big screen HDTV with FuboTV, Hulu, Netflix, and Google Fiber WiFi.

Fantastic place to come watch a football game - you can hear the stadium announcer from the front porch and walk to the stadium gates in less than 5 minutes.

The Kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, toaster, oven, microwave, coffee maker, etc.

Convenient location on University street - come to drop off kids starting at the University, or for Salt Lake downtown conventions, or for Ski trips, or other activities at the University of Utah.

The property is close (2 minute walk) to the TRAX station at Rice Eccles Stadium. You may not even need a rental car if you time it right, you can get around town or to the airport easily!

Parking can be tricky in this area, street parking is by permit only but the south driveway is reserved for VRBO guests. It is a tight fit, but two regular sized cars can fit. Only one oversized vehicle will fit into the driveway space. A guest street parking permit can be requested at the time of booking but needs to be left at the home upon check out or there will be an additional fee ($100) to replace the guest pass.

This home is zoned a duplex, there is a basement apartment with permanent renters, they have a separate entrance. The laundry is a shared space and the basment renters do not have access to the upstairs VRBO. We ask that there is quiet time from 10pm to 8am. Being so close to the University of Utah, and in a college area, there may be some late night celebrating nearby in the neighborhood. This is noticeable especially after the Utes win a football game! :)

Keyless check-in and check-out makes for easy, safe access. Early check in or late checkout may be requested for an additional fee. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Cute,Cozy, Great Location

House was clean,comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. My wife and I were there for a concert so being located right next to the University made the experience that much better. House was exactly what we were looking for during our stay. Highly recommend!

Everything we needed

The house was clean, charming, and located right next to the University. The rail runs just one street over so getting downtown and to the airport were a breeze without a car. Comfortable beds and couch and everything you need in the kitchen!

Cozy home, convenient to food!

This house was precisely as listed. It was clean, comfortable, and very well-stocked. The giant couch was quite comfortable, the little nook in the kitchen was perfect for a few hours work, and it was only few blocks walk to some fun, local restaurants. The driveway is quite narrow, our Corolla just fit, but we are used to lots of driveway space, so your mileage may vary. I would stay here again.

Weekend visit with daughter attending the U

Thank you, Blake and Heidi for opening up your home to our family. We had a wonderful weekend, visiting my daughter, who attends the U. The location could not have been more perfect. It is a short walk to the stadium to enjoy a game and fun to be right in the thick of college life :-) we had no problems with noise despite a game weekend. We will definitely be back soon. The home is adorable!

A+ all-around. Fantastic location, comfort, and hospitality!

Heidi and Blake have created the perfect haven for Salt Lake City travelers and visitors to the University of Utah. Their home is thoughtfully decorated with very comfortable beds and wonderful amenities, from the shampoo/ conditioner to a fully-stocked kitchen. Communication and entry was easy, and you couldn't find more hospitable owners. Our son got sick during our stay, and Heidi was kind enough to accommodate a late check-out. She also offered to answer questions about the U since our daughter is interested in attending. We hope to make this lovely house our home base for our return trips back to SLC. The proximity to campus, restaurants, and shops can't be beat. Thanks again for everything, Heidi and Blake! All the Best.

Wonderful house near the U

We rented this lovely home for our daughter’s graduation from the U. It was the perfect place for the 4 of us. We have rented many homes over the 4 years my daughter attended the U snd this by far our favorite one. The house was clean, modern and bright with high-end furnishings. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were super comfy and there were plenty of towels. It really felt like a home and not just a short- term. rental property. The hosts were very responsive when road construction prevented us from parking in the driveway. We were able to walk to both graduation ceremonies in under 30 minutes - no car needed. The Trax stop is also just a block away. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wishing to stay near the U.

I would not recommend for a family. There was no yard for a dog, even though the listing said it was pet friendly. Friends cannot drive over to meet you because all of the parking in the vicinity requires a permit or you will be towed. However, I totally recommend if you are a college student and you want to drink and stand in the street all night...

Great location for access to the University of Utah campus. There was a small issue with the thermostat when we arrived but the owners were super responsive and it was addressed very quickly. Everything else went smooth. Beds, couches, washer & dryer, and kitchen furnishings were all in top shape and the internet connection was fast. We would happily rent it again if the we need something close to campus again.

Fantastic Campus Visit

This little house was perfect for visiting the campus of University of Utah with our daughter. The neighborhood is located directly behind the football stadium and a block away from campus. The home is extremely clean, living space was great for a family of four and the beds were super comfortable. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Fausett

Host profile image
We live in Oregon, and visit family in Utah at least two or three times a year. But after our daughter started attending the University of Utah in 2021, we visited much more frequently and wanted a nice place to stay while visiting without having to keep finding a VRBO every time. We found this charming bungalow in the same neighborhood where our daughter lives, a block from Rice-Eccles Stadium, and couldn't resist. It has been updated and tastefully decorated and definitely feels like home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. It is easy to get to the SLC airport and even easier to walk just a few minutes to the stadium. Downtown is easily accessible via Trax, or a short drive. Ski resorts are also a short drive up the canyon. Several amazing restaurants are within two blocks. You can’t beat this location for easy access to the University hospitals, campus, ski resorts all while visiting your student!

What makes this property unique

University street is a small community composed of students and families. It's like being in a small town, but within a large city. Our neighbors are great and the neighborhood boast charm and the convenience of walking to several delicious restaurants with easy close proximity to the University. You can hear the game being announce from the front step!
