About this property

Sugarhouse Guest House: 400+Mbps wifi. No cleaning fee. Free Parking. Cozy!

Cozy cottage on the back of our property. Windows look out on our lawn and garden. Park in your own driveway. One bedroom, ¾ bathroom, kitchenette, and small living room with a futon and table. Either two twin beds OR we can tether them together into a king upon request. Families are welcome if the kids are ok with the spare beds. We have a spare twin mattress we can put on the floor, a blow-up twin, a pack and play, a fold up bassinet. We can fit two adults and 3+ children comfortably, or three-to-four adults using the extra beds: no per-person charge. (Message us about any 4 adult reservation.) Kitchen has range/oven, full size refrigerator/freezer, and sink. Washer and dryer access in the garage. We have solar panels, so your electricity use during the day is renewable. High speed Wifi (200-250 Mbps) in the house and most of the yard, and a whole house surge protector is installed. There is a hard line Ethernet connection available which bypasses our systems for your security. We also have a 115v 30amp power outlet if you have an adapter and an electric car.

This is a non smoking property. We are unable to host smokers because of a strong allergic reaction as well as asthma. Disposables and consumables shown in the photos may vary in reality, but we will provide soap and shampoo and tea at a minimum. The path to the house is not perfectly flat (stones) and there is a step to get in, not great for anyone with significant mobility issues or who is prone to tripping.

We have free range chickens, including a small rooster. They are friendly and we keep the paths clean. However, we cannot guarantee the cleanliness of off-path areas.

If you prefer a refundable deposit vs the insurance policy, let me know. I can change it before you book but not after. If you choose the deposit option, I like to return deposits within 24 hours of check out.

Please remember that you are staying in a home, not a hotel. Please treat the space with respect. If any problems arise, we will do our best to take action ASAP. We own, operate, and clean this rental all ourselves; we care about your comfort and enjoyment!

Early check-in or late check-out are usually available if arranged the day before.

Security camera disclosure: We have outside facing cameras, mostly on the owner portion of the property and driveways. They do not point at the guest house itself in any way.

We are 30min from ski slopes, and just off the bus line. We are very close to the University of Utah and Primary Children's Hospital. In fact, you can drive or bus to either in about 10 minutes.

Great Getaway in SLC

We enjoyed this little cottage. It was great for the weekend family getaway. Property manager was VERY communicative. We had everything we needed to know before entering. Also mada a great stay because they have so many little perks from items in the kitchen to bath and she had the beds made to what we needed.

Cozy and relaxing

The hosts prioritize their guests' comfort. The cottage is well stocked and has those extras that you don't think you need until you actually need them. Although the guesthouse is in the backyard, the front door faces away from the owner's home, so you feel a sense of privacy. The hosts are gracious and communicate quickly when you have a question. The setting is relaxing and peaceful.

Relaxing atmosphere

I was looking for a little weekend getaway with my wife when I found this. I was a little apprehensive at first when I saw this was actually in someone's backyard but the reviews were very positive so I decided to try it. I was not disappointed. Communication with the hosts was great and they were very accommodating. It's apparent that they want their guests to enjoy their visit. We were very impressed with how well stocked the cottage was. All of the basics and more. It was a nice change from some of our previous experiences. I definitely recommend this place for anyone for any reason.

Nice Getaway in the city

This was a nice little guest house that was fully furnished and had everything that we needed for our stay. There was a living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining area, and little den. It was all that we needed and it was close to the city and activities. Well worth the stay!

Great access for skiing

This property has great access to the highways to get to the ski resorts both the 4 on the west side and the ones on the east. We had great road conditions for all drives and were parking in 40 minutes or less. The hosts were awesome accessible for questions but not intrusive. The property was very clean, and cleanliness was a concern of the hosts.

Great stay, poor sleep.

We loved everything about our stay, except the beds. They are poor quality mattresses that are rock hard. Hopefully, the owners will invest in some decent mattresses so the next customer will get some rest. All of us definitely woke up tired everyday. Other than that; clean property and quiet.

Quiet Spot In A Quaint Neighborhood

We were in Salt Lake for a Spartan race and wanted a quiet, comfortable place to relax and recover when we weren't on the course or exploring the area. Rachel's place was perfect for us. She left us alone, provided everything we needed, and even let us check out a little later than planned so we could sleep a little longer. Perfect place for a couple to use as home base for exploring and relaxing afterwards. Rachel is awesome. The location is awesome. Just book it already! Much love, Jason + Cristina

Perfect Cottage for Trip with Young Family

Our family of 5 was interested in renting for a few nights to visit several attractions in Salt Lake City. This property was perfect! It is very close to all the parks and museums we wanted to visit. The owners were very responsive to our requests for sleeping arrangements and anticipated things we may need. The check-in and check-out process was very simple. The cottage itself was cozy and had lots of beautiful natural light. It was perfect for our needs.

Well supplied with kitchen tools, pantry staples, bottled water, ice packs to borrow, books, toiletries, extra blankets, information on local attractions, and coupons.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel & David Ng, 吳

Host profile image
David and Rachel Ng are excited to welcome you! David works nearby at the University and we will be at home during your stay. You might hear our kids if the windows are open, or see us out enjoying the yard. We will be close by if you need anything.

We are a couple of young folks with old fashioned tastes. We enjoy hospitality, learning obscure things, and extreme DIY projects. David has a passion for tools, and Rachel thinks that comes in handy. Rachel is an artist, and David enjoys her traditional style. David has a large homemade telescope, so you might catch us outside after dark admiring Saturn or Jupiter. David can speak Cantonese; Rachel was once fairly fluent in ASL but has sadly forgotten much of it.

Why they chose this property

Sugarhouse is conveniently located close to many of the main attractions you may be coming to Salt Lake City for. We have a guide book in the house detailing a list of free activities and things to see. It is a quick zip downtown, an easy jump onto the freeway, or a short trip into the mountains.
People from other regions may not be familiar with the health risks of radon, which seeps naturally from the ground and can become trapped in houses. It is very common in mountain areas. We have a radon mitigation system under the house, running 24/7.

What makes this property unique

The property is in a quiet neighborhood which is mostly level and great for walks. We love that we are able to host guests on our property in their own house. It was built into the back of the original garage. It has its own heater and water heater. The property also has a water softener and surge protection.
We are happy to welcome two adults and their children, or up to 4 adults if they are ok with the "spare" beds. We do not currently charge any extra fee per person.
