These areas are the perfect space for discussing the day’s activities, enjoying company and conversation, or playing games.

The beautiful kitchen comes equipped with a gas range/oven, full sized LG refrigerator, convection microwave oven, dishwasher, and a farmhouse sink. Small appliances include a coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, rice cooker, juicer, pressure cooker, popcorn popper, waffle maker, ice maker, pots/pans, tupperware, mixing bowls, utensils, cutlery, dishes, and more.

Enjoy the convenience of doing your laundry in the brand-new LG washer and dryer. Laundry, soap, and dryer sheets are provided.

The living room offers a 75" HD smart TV with Premium DirecTV service. Every channel including the MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, NBA League Pass, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and more can be enjoyed from a comfortable leather recliner, basking in the warm glow of the fireplace.

What a wonderful place. This doesn't feel like a rental, it feels like home. The attention to details that Chad and Kylee put into the design of this basement unit really shows through. With the high ceilings, ample light, and furnishings you do not feel like you are in a lower unit. Super clean! I appreciate the small touches and there were plenty of them. From the plethora of night lights throughout the place, extra paper towels, non-industrial toilet paper, and shampoo/body wash dispensers in the shower. Excellent communication throughout and excellent restaurant recommendations every night we were there. Chad is a great guy, I encourage you to find time to Chat with him. He takes pride in this rental unit and it come across in so many ways. Definitely will be returning next year. Thanks for everything Chad.

Narnia Gateway - perfect place!

Narnia Gateway was the perfect place for our getaway! Tastefully decorated with a full kitchen, we felt right at home. Centrally located to hikes and National parks as well as numerous good restaurants & shopping, it was a perfect home base. The owners are hospitable and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing, delightful stay.

This was our second time staying at The Narnia Gateway and it was just as nice this time as it was the first. I don't have a single complaint and would highly recommend this rental. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything you many need or want when away from home. They are also extremely friendly and aim to please. They checked in with us upon arrival to make sure everything was as expected and they took an interest in the reason we were visiting Salt Lake. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Best VRBO

We came for a soccer tournament and had the best most relaxing stay with Chad and his family. They were so helpful and went above and beyond with communicating. We’ve stayed at lists of VRBOS and this is was the best! So comfortable! I actually wanted to stay any extra day just to relax there! Lots of space for our family of 6.

Wonderful place to stay!  My boys and I spent 30 nights at The Narnia Gateway and loved every minute.  The boys were comfortable and had fun with the unique spot for “littles”.  The Hale family were phenomenal hosts.  They were very communicative as well as heavily helpful.  When staying here, you certainly can tell that they enjoy the happiness that their cozy little nook can bring to other families.  Having also stayed there for an extended period, It was clear that their kitchen and property in general was meant to welcome both short-term and long-term stays.  You will not be disappointed if you choose this place for your getaway.  It certainly is located close to skiing, biking, hiking, shops, and everything else you could want.  Given the opportunity, I would certainly stay there again and again.  *Thank you, Chad and Kylee, for everything you did for me and my family!!!

Clean, comfy, cozy great area, we loved every bit of this spot. The kitchen was fully stocked, we made bfast and they had a waffle maker. The accent lights was a nice addition, plus the amazing decor. We took a walk around the neighborhood and ran into a family of deer, so that was cool.

Cozy and convenient

Loved our stay at the Narnia Gateway. As soon as I opened the front door I immediately looked back at my wife like “we get to stay here for the next few nights!” Stayed at the tail end of great SLC visit and it was just what we’re looking for and needed. Extremely clean, furniture and beds were comfortable. Cozy linens and towels…no cheap corner cutting on any of the accommodations. Perfect set up for family of 5. Convenient to just about everything in a nice neighborhood with great views. Chad and Kylee were fantastic hosts and were in constant communication to ensure our visit was perfect. Would 100% book again if we come back to the area.
