Perfect Gathering Place

We had the best stay while in Utah using the house. We were there for our daughter‘s wedding and it was the perfect to use the kitchen for finishing food prep for the wedding, and an amazing place for some of our out-of-town family to gather with us and visit after the wedding. The host was so amazing and addressed any concern almost immediately. She was so accommodating for everything we might need. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Perfect!

We stayed just one night while on a road trip and we had the most restful night of sleep yet! A full 10 hours! The house was so comfortable and cozy, it felt like we were staying with family or friends. It had everything we needed for our overnight stay. We were even given use of the garage, which was great because the truck was full of gear for the trip. Carole was available and in communication the whole time. Thank you, Carole!

Orem Gem

Fantastic place to stay Orem. The home is spacious with many areas to relax both inside and in the backyard. It has two nicely decorated living areas with super comfortable sofas and chairs surrounding a well appointed kitchen and large table for family dinners. The home is very family friendly for both young and older kiddos. The game room provides another great area to gather and spend some fun family time. With lots of restaurants nearby and shopping options this home is perfect for our next trip back to Orem!

A wonderful home and a wonderful host!

Carole was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our 11-day stay. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and easy access to so many places. We loved the open living areas and the comfy beds. And that game room is such a fun addition! Would definitely stay again!

Nice remodeled home

The remodeled interior was well done. Clean home with nice linens and comfy beds. Close to shopping and restaurants. Carole was a great host and had excellent check in communication. She even made sure we had wood for the fire pit. My only negative was the “party in the back” garage wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be. Could t find the tv remote, darts for the dart board were all broke, and they had poker chips but no cards. All easy fixes and won’t ruin the fun.
