Mid-Century Modern Retreat - Main House

Welcome to our stylish and inviting Mid-Century Modern retreat! Designed by well-known architect Ron Molen and nestled in the quiet sought-after Westshire neighborhood, our single-level home is the perfect escape for those seeking a blend of contemporary comfort and timeless design. With 4 thoughtfully designed rooms, a beautiful indoor atrium, a loft bedroom, a sunken conversation area, and a spacious backyard, you'll find all the space you need for a memorable getaway.
The space
This home embodies the quintessential mid-century lifestyle, nestled in the West Valley neighborhood, a hidden gem renowned for its unique mid-century modern homes designed by Utah architect Ron Molen. Spanning 3000 square feet on a single level, this residence boasts expansive open spaces, ideal for hosting gatherings and family events. At its heart, a central indoor atrium, a hallmark of the architect's vision, floods the interior with an abundance of natural light and a soothing ambiance.

The house features four thoughtfully appointed and comfortable bedrooms, along with an entertainment room featuring a foosball table. The house is most comfortable for up to 8-9 adults and children. The indoor dining table comfortably seats 8, while the bar seating can accommodate 3-4 guests.

Conveniently located just minutes away from the conference center, the megaplex theatre, and Salt Lake Community College, and within a 30-minute drive to numerous ski resorts, including Snowbird, Alta, Solitude, and Brighton, this residence offers both a serene retreat and accessibility to a range of attractions and outdoor adventures.

Forgot about our Check-in

While the property itself was nice enough, we unfortunately experienced several issues during our stay that significantly impacted our overall experience.Upon our arrival late into the night, we were informed that the property had not yet been cleaned as the host had mixed up our check in date. Because of the late timing we could not stay at the listing the first night and had to find last minute accommodations with no heads up. Because of this confusion and disruption, our plans for the next morning also had to be significantly adjusted.Additionally, the heating in the property was not functioning properly, leaving the space uncomfortably cold throughout our visit. We notified the host about the heating issue, but no fix was provided. On top of that, we also had an issue with one of the toilets, which we ended up fixing ourselves. Host is slow at responding & I had to reach out on selerate occasions to get check in details, wifi info & checkout details which should have been provided beforehand.Finally, it took more than a week to try to get a refund for the first night. While trying to negotiate the refund amount, the host would take days to respond and finally just stopped responding all together. I eventually had to escalate to VRBO to get my refund issued.

A complete disaster from start to finish.

This might be the worst vacation rental I’ve ever experienced.It was cheap, but that’s the only positive.Having house directions and WIFI login would have avoided some frustration.The heat wasn’t working correctly when we arrived. It was 61 degrees the morning after we arrived, leaving my 85-year-old mother shivering for almost 24 hours. This place is also completely barren when it comes to basic necessities. The kitchen items that were provided were cheap or worn out. We had to buy water glasses! There are no cleaning supplies—no vacuum, toilet cleaner, not even counter spray.The furniture was cheap and unsafe. My son-in-law simply got out of bed, and the bed SHATTERED, it was missing a middle support post, forcing them to sleep on a thin mattress on the floor. The owners never responded to multiple messages and photos regarding the bed.The dining table was so unstable that we feared using it. It seemed like every nut, bolt, and screw in the house was loose.The guest bathroom was a disaster—water from the poorly designed shower flooded the entire floor every time it was used, among other issues.The "indoor atrium" was just a trash-filled pit that wouldn't lock.Shockingly, there were no blinds on the windows, providing zero privacy. The master bath had no door, so it was open to the blindless bedroom. Even the walk-in closet had a huge window with no blind. I could go on, but I have limited space.This rental is a complete embarrassment—avoid at all costs,
