Fun place to stay

Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to shopping, entertainment, and other activities, this spacious basement unit has a lot to offer. Although we did go into town for most of our activities, we could have spent a day (or two) just enjoying the home theater and great selection of games. Skee Ball, basketball, ping pong, foosball, and arcade video games were all a hit with the family. The small kitchen was sufficient for our meal prep, and dining seating was comfortable for a family of four. Host was very responsive to communications. All in all, would recommend and would stay there again!

Baseball tournament

This place is the absolute best for a family with kids! We came for a baseball tournament and didn’t want to stay in a hotel. Our kids loved all of the games and let’s face it mom and dad did too! The beds are very comfortable, the neighborhood is clean, quiet, and in a perfect location that makes it close to shopping and restaurants. Jaren is an amazing host that replied within minutes when we were having an issue with the theater sound. He came down and fixed it and showed us a few secrets to playing basketball. I hope to come back to Ogden soon to stay in this beautiful home! Thank you so much Whittington family for sharing your home with us.

Great place central to a lot of good attractions

Very clean and 30 minutes from Powder Mountain. Owner was very responsive with communication and very friendly yet not intrusive. Fun place to stay with your family or ski group. Lots of room and just about everything you would need. Hot tub was a huge bonus after a day of skiing.

Everything you need !

We had an amazing stay ! Jaren was excellent to deal with. He got back to you quickly each time I had to contact him. The apartment had so many things for my grandkids to do, from the air hockey table to the pool table, theater TV, there was never a dull moment. They didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend this place. 5 stars all the way around !
