A wonderful home and a wonderful host!

Carole was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our 11-day stay. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and easy access to so many places. We loved the open living areas and the comfy beds. And that game room is such a fun addition! Would definitely stay again!

I'm out of state but wanted a space to host a BYU watch party for my students and their friends. This space was perfect! It took us a second to figure out the TVs but the quick response and help from our host was awesome! Make sure you understand the TV/Game room is in a separate building from the house. The weather was perfect so didn't check ac/heat options for out there.

Perfect Gathering Place

We had the best stay while in Utah using the house. We were there for our daughter‘s wedding and it was the perfect to use the kitchen for finishing food prep for the wedding, and an amazing place for some of our out-of-town family to gather with us and visit after the wedding. The host was so amazing and addressed any concern almost immediately. She was so accommodating for everything we might need. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Orem Gem

Fantastic place to stay Orem. The home is spacious with many areas to relax both inside and in the backyard. It has two nicely decorated living areas with super comfortable sofas and chairs surrounding a well appointed kitchen and large table for family dinners. The home is very family friendly for both young and older kiddos. The game room provides another great area to gather and spend some fun family time. With lots of restaurants nearby and shopping options this home is perfect for our next trip back to Orem!

This home is super clean, beds and pillows are soft, plenty of towels and the kitchen is very well stocked. It’s very close to shopping, freeway access and good places to eat. Nice backyard for the dog but if you have a smaller dog there are gaps on the side fence and near the corner where your dog can get under so it’s not very secure in that respect. The neighbor does have 2-3 dogs so we just walked out front to avoid them barking at our dog. There is a church directly across the street which is great for that. If you have kids it’s kid friendly and items were well thought out. Would stay again.

Perfect!

We stayed just one night while on a road trip and we had the most restful night of sleep yet! A full 10 hours! The house was so comfortable and cozy, it felt like we were staying with family or friends. It had everything we needed for our overnight stay. We were even given use of the garage, which was great because the truck was full of gear for the trip. Carole was available and in communication the whole time. Thank you, Carole!

Nice remodeled home

The remodeled interior was well done. Clean home with nice linens and comfy beds. Close to shopping and restaurants. Carole was a great host and had excellent check in communication. She even made sure we had wood for the fire pit. My only negative was the “party in the back” garage wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. Could t find the tv remote, darts for the dart board were all broke, and they had poker chips but no cards. All easy fixes and won’t ruin the fun.

Thank you for letting me know about the games in the back. I am sorry that other guests have ruined the experience and I was unaware. I have corrected all of those items that you mentioned. I would have also been happy to while you were at the house. All you would of had to do was message me

Oh boy. First of all, you CANNOT have fun in the back!!! The place is in an old neighborhood that is both quaint and quiet, for the most part. There are all walks of life living here & it's a better location than SLC.Everything was clean but if you're not used to harsh cleaning agents, you will be affronted by the chemical smell of the place. We could not park in the garage due to this. Now, this "fun in the back" in the title. There evidently is some fun & games in the basement but we didn't see this as we're 2 adults who were travel weary & just wanted to eat & sleep. However, the backyard had some amenities; there is a firepit, a cute table for morning coffee, grass for the dog to run on, and a BBQ. The problem is we couldn't use ANY OF IT. The next door dogs made it impossible, that black screen does NOTHING to help. My dog needed to use the bathroom & they just barked constantly, we couldn't even sit outside without being barked at. We took her outside to the front to avoid them. It was loud & aggressive & horrible. Secondly, the sprinklers. Most homeowners have them on at night so you can enjoy the grass when the sun is up - but not here. Last, not much anyone can do about it but the bathroom tile is SO COLD we had to lay towels on it just to walk on it. I know this all sounds so unremarkable & nitpicky but we just traveled 5 states & we now know a good VRBO & sadly, this is not it.
