About this property
Private Retreat • Pets Welcome • Waffles Too!
Welcome to your private retreat! Sorry for the cell phone photos - professional photos to be taken soon! This cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath basement apartment is the perfect home base for couples, small families, traveling pros, or friends. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen—yes, we include waffle mix and a waffle iron for a sweet start! We’re pet-friendly, and you’ll have access to on-site laundry and private driveway parking. Just minutes from BYU, UVU, and I-15, you're close to restaurants, shopping, and more, while enjoying a quiet residential neighborhood. Please note: This apartment is available when the full home isn’t booked, so guests may be in the upstairs unit. Your basement space is fully private.
Come relax, settle in, and enjoy your stay—waffles and all!

About the host
Hosted by Carole Andersen
Hi, I’m Carole! I’m the owner of Gather Vacation Rentals, a short-term rental business with 9 beautiful homes in Utah. With nearly 10 years of experience, I truly love what I do—creating welcoming spaces where guests can relax, connect, and make memories.
My husband and I love to travel, so I understand the importance of a great place to stay. That’s why I take pride in offering thoughtfully curated spaces with all the comforts of home. Whether you're visiting for adventure, relaxation, or a special gathering, I want your stay to be as enjoyable and seamless as possible.
Family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband and my son, who has Down syndrome, are my best friends. They both love sports—so naturally, I do too! I bring that same team spirit to my rentals, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of.
I look forward to hosting you at Gather Vacation Rentals and making your stay a fantastic experience!
