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.

Great Location to University

Conveniently located to the University & Trax system. We were able to stay a week without a vehicle - get to grocery store, restaurants, and more. The house is very well stocked with kitchen supplies, basic seasoning, paper products and plenty of towels/ bedding etc. Super cozy beds with wonderful bedding. I was able to work all week in the sunny living area in the quiet neighborhood. It was great!

Perfect Stay

We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier with our choice of places to stay during our visit. The homes perfect location was within walking distance to the University and Stadium. The hosts were extremely attentive, the home was perfectly clean and details of home were exactly as described. The added details such as coffee pods and creamers were a pleasant surprise due to our late arrival. Thank you for a perfect stay in SLC.

Lovely House and Great Location

This property was cute and very comfortable. I could not find anything in Park City that was similar for a reasonable price for skiing. For the future, I will be staying in SLC instead of Park City. You can find a great place to stay for a fraction of the cost and this property was close to the mountain and close to great places to eat in SLC.

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.

Wow!

My family really loved staying at this property. Our favorite rental in SLC so far. We were visiting our daughter at The U and this was the perfect place to stay and catch a game. The stadium is so close! Neighborhood was nice and the people on the street are friendly. The unit has been tastefully remodeled and the couch was actually comfortable to lounge on! If you are a frequent private rental user you know what I am saying. Can’t wait to stay here again!!

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!
