Absolutely adorable!

This offering is in a prime location, with everything i needed for my long stay! Decor was tasteful yet comfortable. Well equipped with charging opps literally everywhere! Check in and check out were seamless...felt right at home! And the host was top notch! Very responsive and showed pride of ownership. I couldn't ask for better care. Thank you, Mandi for the white glove treatment! Would definately recommend...

Great place!

We loved this place! It was so comfortable! The living room is a nice size for sitting around and visiting. The view of the mountains out the window while you’re sitting on the couch is great. The front porch is pleasant to sit on with that same mountain view. The king bed in the first bedroom was so comfortable. The kitchen was nice and easy to work in. The location was convenient and quiet and safe. Fall in Utah was beautiful! The bunk beds in the 2nd bedroom weren’t super comfy for my full grown adults kids, but are fine for young children. Overall, we loved this place and will come again next time we’re visiting!

Nice place but has a couple issues

House location was great. Listing title is deceiving saying you are booking the whole house but there is actually someone living in the basement so you aren’t getting the whole house. The bunk bed is terrible. It is the squeakiest bed my kids have ever slept on. The first night we didn’t get much sleep because of this. Every time my daughter would move in bed we all heard it.

Marriage retreat

We loved this place! It was perfect for our marriage intensive in Lindon. The scenery was amazing! We loved waking up to the mountains with no humidity. We would love to stay again on our next visit to Utah!
