Cozy dog friendly house.
We had a comfortable convenient stay with our yorkies. We were all able to spread out and the dogs were happy to explore the fenced in back yard. Paige was responsive and the checkout procedure and house rules were very reasonable.

Couldn’t beat the heat!
When we first arrived at the property it was as expected. Nice neighborhood, with a beautiful front yard. However, when walked through the door… we quickly looked for the climate control for the home. To our dismay, there was only a window cooler which wasn’t sufficient. We contracted the owner and she said to open the window and use three outdated fans! The home hot throughout our stay. The home needs central air system! There needs to be notification on Vrbo on what type of heating and cooling systems the property has.

Wonderful Host and Property ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
This property is in a great neighborhood🏠. Close to lots of places to explore including parks and restaurants 🍽. Paige our host should get ten stars. The backyard is beautifully maintained, enjoyable to sit and work outside on a laptop for us telecommuters. The downstairs suite offered a great place to relax, watch tv and unwind. Plus the beds are very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. It’s on our SLC favorites❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wonderful stay in SLC! This is a great, quiet road (minus the dogs next door). Our children enjoyed walking the sidewalks in the morning and the garden. Paige was extremely polite, we didn’t really need anything but she made us feel welcome. We will be using this property again whenever we visit!

Lovely home & everything you need!
My husband I stayed here, at Kensington Garden, with our 2 college age sons. It was a great way to be in SLC but also be in a walkable residential area. The place was nicely decorated and Paige had everything you would need for cooking, watching tv, and hanging out in a comfortable environment! We would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly!

Lovely stay over winter holidays!
This was a lovely property and the host was so responsive and helpful! We had several adults, a teenager, and two kids in our party and stayed here for the holidays while visiting local family, skiing, and exploring Salt Lake. The location is perfect, just a few blocks from Liberty Park, several great coffee shops, and only a 5-10 minute drive to pretty much anywhere else in the city. The layout of the house worked well for the large group, with some space for the little kids to play with their toys without being in the way of everyone else, as well as the basement for board game nights, laundry, and spending time together in the evening after the kids had gone to bed. The hot tub was lovely, with easy-to-use settings for heat and jets and cute little twinkle lights. The place was pet friendly, so we did bring one dog as well. The only downside was the kitchen space, which was too small for as many adults as we had, with the oven in an awkward space that only allowed for one person to cook at any given time, and not much counter space for food prep. It might also have been nice if there'd been a few toys/games for the kids (as it was, our local family simply went to the thrift store to pick some things up for the week, which worked fine). Overall, we all really enjoyed our stay here, would stay again, and would definitely recommend this property to others.

Salt Lake City Summer
We stayed at Kensington Gardens for 6 weeks. The home is so charming. The gardens and back yard are beautiful and inviting. The house is as advertised, everything worked perfectly, no issues at all. My husband and I both worked remotely, the Wi-Fi was flawless. Even though the temperatures were routinely above 100, the evaporator cooler kept the house cool (I was surprised how well it worked). The location is fantastic. We walked to coffee shops, restaurants and the park. There is a Thursday evening farmers market at the park and we went every week. Paige is a great host. Easy to communicate with and willing to help if anything is needed. I miss the house already! We would definitely go back.
