About this property

Luxury View- Walkable to Downtown & Convention Center

Valley View from Every Floor with a PRIVATE OFFICE.
3 Minutes to downtown Salt Lake
10 Minutes from the Airport
35-40 Minutes to Park City, Snowbird, Alta, Brighton, Solitude, and Snow Basin

Experience staying in this one-of-kind luxury home situated just above the State Capitol! Sleeping up to 14, the high open ceilings and amazing views from this 1930s-built home will blow you away. Perfectly positioned to reach popular destinations such as park city, downtown, Sugarhouse and 9th & 9th.


This is a 1930s built mid-century modern home with fantastic views from every level of the home. They certainly don't build homes like this anymore! Every time you walk passed a window, you will be blown away at the valley view far below and the city lights at night make for an out-of-this-world experience. This home has been well cared for and the attention to detail, when it was remodeled recently, is amazing. It is extremely spacious with just about 3,000 square feet and 10 foot high ceilings in the living room.

The kitchen and two bathrooms have all been remodeled for modern convenience but still maintain their classic look with original tile work. The kitchen is fully-stocked with a microwave, blender, coffee-maker, and toaster. You'd have everything you would need for cooking for a large group. Just add the groceries! There is also a dining table expander piece in the closet should you need it.

There are two living rooms (main floor and downstairs) with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The main floor living room features a large window covering most of the width of the living room and this room has 10 foot open ceilings. The view every time you walk into this room, especially at night, never gets old! The downstairs living room is very large and has a massive sectional couch where everyone can relax and watch a movie or play games together. The ping pong room, which also has an amazing view, is right next to the downstairs living room which makes for an overall awesome place to hang out.

The main bedroom, on the main floor, has a wide window featuring the valley view far below. Featuring a bed with a super comfortable queen mattress, there are large closets and drawers where you can put all of your belongings during your stay. The other bedroom on the main floor has a bunk bed with a twin mattress on top and a full mattress on the bottom. There are also two bedrooms downstairs with queen mattress beds. One of the bedrooms downstairs also has a bunk bed with a twin matress in top and a full matress on bottom. There is also an entire laundry room complete with washer/dryer and ironing board.

The upstairs bedroom has 3 windows, 2 of which are corner windows featuring mountain, valley and city-lights views far below. This bedroom also has a bed with a full mattress and an office featuring a desk that can be automatically raised to make it a stand-up workstation. There is also a large computer monitor there with an HDMI cable and wifi printer. The upstairs bedroom/office features a door to a large patio with a BBQ area and amazing views below where you, your family and friends will want to spend a good chunk of your time when the weather is nice. Take it from me, the table and chairs on this patio make for the best coffee drinking spot and the perfect way to start your day in the morning and the best way to enjoy a glass of wine at night looking at the city lights.

Out back, there is a nice lawn to play on and a covered porch with a fire pit and 6 patio chairs. The backyard also features a treehouse/play house featured in the photos has a swing and a plastic slide.

This home certainly will not disappoint, guests usually experience a massive positive surprise reaction upon arrival. For everything this home offers, at a super low price, it is by far, the best deal on Airbnb!

Again, this house is super close to many prime locations:
1 minute drive to Fantastic overlook hike, Ensign Peak
5 minute drive to Salt Palace Convention Center
4 minute drive to Vivint Arena
7 minute drive to University of Utah
5 minute WALK to beautiful Memorial Grove Park
3 minute WALK to the state capitol

Other things to note
Note: The home is on a hillside, with a beautiful view. This means that guests can expect to walk up and down the front stairs to and from the house during their stay as well as stairs in the home. I have not had any complaints so far (only effusive praise about the views and home) but think it is only fair to mention.

Legal Disclaimer that unfortunately I must include, lawyers, am I right ;) ............................. The back yard is uneven with steep and uneven areas. The property overall is on a very steep hill (which provides it with fantastic views) but on the property please only access the front stairway and viewing area, and in the back, the lawn and patio area directly behind the house. All other terrain including the very steep stair case behind the house is uneven and I would ask that you do not go in those areas especially areas of plant growth. Also, the tree fort play area is also not to code...what tree fort is :))) but I have to say it. You must agree to warn your guests that these areas could be dangerous and uneven so only visit these areas at your own risk. Also, the upstairs outdoor patio is very slippery when wet or icy. Do not use when wet, snowy, or icy. If you do use the upstairs patio when slippery, you and your guests agree to do so at your own risk. For security, there is a Ring doorbell with cam at the front door and a corresponding Ring cam at the back entrance and the top patio entrance. Guests can expect to walk up and down the front stairs to the house during their stay as well as stairs in the house. The railings on the stairs in the house would not prevent a small child from falling through it to a small fall (maybe 5-6 feet).

Company group for ski show

Instead of overpaying for a bunch of hotel rooms for our ski show, we tried doing a large home and loved it. Only challenge / expense was having to do a bunch of Ubers to get downtown but there were always pretty available. This house had a lot of charm, even ping pong room which was fun. Even though built in 1930's they did a great job of renovating while still keeping the charm!

So Perfect...

What an amazing (and a little funky) house! My two brothers and I celebrated a 40th birthday and couldn't have been happier. Easy running distance to the Ensign Peak trail, although the view wasn't any further improved from what we had right out the front window! Close to everything, some great restaurants, the LandCruiser museum (hidden gem!), and so much else. The owner (Dave) was supremely awesome and allowed us to flex some timing at the last minute as we accommodated travel. Can't wait for an excuse to be back in SLC so we can try and rent again.

Business Trip

This property was perfect for our stay. Colleagues and I were in town for a conference and wanted a home to relax in at the end of the day. The views are priceless - morning coffee and evening chats were made more memorable overlooking the mountains. The outdoor patio was lovely. Kitchen was well-equipped and roomy. Dave was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property!

Unique, eclectic, amazing views!

If you are looking for a unique & eclectic home with INSANE views, you've found it! The location to downtown and the U are AMAZING. It's the mid 1900's meets modern day comfort . . . lots of original details and architecture. Dave was great to work with - communication was immediate and very easy to check-in and out. Will rent again when visiting SLC in the future!

Great space lots of beds!

Special memories made and had the space to visit and our 9 year old learned chess and is hooked thanks to the chess board available. Stairs were a bit to navigate for the oldest of our group. I loved the exercise every day though.

Perfect location!

We picked this location for a family trip, and it was perfect! We had a big age range from 20s to 80s, and there was plenty of sleeping space to accommodate everyone. Beautiful views, tasteful decorations, and a comfortable lounging space. We did a baby shower and 60th birthday celebration; the space was perfect for a family get together. While not a negative, just know that the kitchen and dining area is small. Perfect for 4-6 people, but not for more. We thought ahead and brought a big folding table for eating outside together, and it was delightful. The grill came in clutch too.

lovely place!

Construction in downtown SLC (as of summer 2022) makes getting here a bit circuitous, but only adds a few minutes. Walkable to Capitol, Temple Square, City Creek...if you don't mind the uphill return. Very easy access to northbound I-15. Two bedrooms lack hanging clothes storage, but do have storage for other items. Ample hanging storage in other bedrooms. +ping pong table! +rooftop access (weather permitting) via upstairs bedroom +amazing sunset views +large refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water

Beautiful property

Beautiful property with gorgeous views. House was close to a lot of locations my group and I anticipated to attend. It was also about 10 min from the airport. House was in a quiet residential area so had to remind my group to speak quietly at all times and be mindful of the neighborhood and direct neighbors. However, did not seem to affect us as we spend most of our time in the basement where there was a ping pong table. Overall, great experience.

We had a great 4 night stay at Dave’s place. We really enjoyed the views from the roof top and the big picture window in the living room. Gorgeous sunsets. The house set up worked well for our group. Kids (young adults) had their own space on the 1st floor and parents and grandparents were on the main floor. If we’re ever back in the slc area - we’d love to stay here again!

Fantastic Home with Stunning Views

This place is absolutely amazing! I stayed here with a few friends recently for a ski trip and we will definitely stay here again if we come back to Salt Lake City. It’s located very close to the capital, with many restaurants and shops nearby. It’s very easy to get to the highways and about a 35-40 minute drive from the slopes. The house itself is very clean and cozy and offers fantastic views of the mountains and the city. Dave is a great host and is very easy to get a hold of if you need anything. I definitely recommend staying here for a ski trip, sightseeing, or any weekend getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Hodgson

Host profile image
I take great pride in providing my guests a 10/10 experience. This house is my only Airbnb and so my passion is to make sure that each group of guests has the best experience when visiting Salt Lake City.

I love to hear about the positive surprises that my guests experience the first time they actually walk into the home and see the view of the valley far below.

Why they chose this property

People are blown away by the valley views of each of three levels of the home, and beautiful interior architecture. The home was built in the 1930s and has high cement ceilings.

What makes this property unique

Great location, just above the beautiful State Capitol building and just up the hill from downtown and several parks. Walking distance.
