Summary:
This is a classic tudor with an art deco interior located in the East Avenues District of Salt Lake City. This home features a small vineyard on the property that is part of Millcreek Estates Winery! Located less than a mile from the center of downtown Salt Lake City, this home is in the perfect location for those who want to be downtown, yet stay in a real house instead of a cramped condo. There is a handmade oak spiral staircase that leads to the huge master en-suite bedroom that takes up the whole top floor. The entire home was just completely restored & renovated and has a modern, open feel while retaining its early 20th century classic appeal. There is free fiber optic ultra high-speed WiFi in the home. Free off-street parking with a level 2 electric car charging plug - parking for 3 vehicles total.
The back yard is one of the nicest back yards you will ever step foot in. It has an outdoor theater area with a 120" theater projector, complete with hammocks and hammock chairs to sit in while watching. There is a covered outdoor dining area, an outdoor kitchen area with a sink, refrigerator, and premium built-in grill. There is a gas fire pit with stone seating all around it that sits right next to the small below-ground hot tub that sets 3 people, maybe 4 and has plenty of hammock and bench seating around it, allowing everyone to hang out together. In addition to the covered patio, there are two pergolas and a small private vineyard in the back yard.
The bedroom on the top floor is in a former attic space. It has plenty of headroom, but still, it's in the attic so if you're abnormally tall, maybe pick one of the other 5 bedrooms. The lower floor is technically a basement, but the windows are extra-large egress windows so it doesn't have a basement feel to it. Some of the owner's items are in this home but it is certainly not cluttered.
This home, also referred to as the Blackham Manor, is the premier home in our company and is the house that our company's owner lives in whenever he is in Salt Lake City. It is filled with his own antiques and unique art. There is seating for 12+ people in the dining areas.
The fine print: Because of the back yard, this property tends to attract groups that want to throw a party, which is not allowed. Therefore, the minimum age to rent this home is 40 years old. If you do not meet this requirement, please do an inquiry - do not reserve it and then ask for permission, since that looks fishy enough that they answer will probably be "no". Parties of ANY size will not be tolerated at this home and city ordinance limits the number of people on the property to 12, which we will strictly enforce. NO CATS ALLOWED.

The Space:
This is a full-time vacation rental, so it is not cluttered with someone's personal belongings. Since it is our nicest home, the owner of our company uses this home when he occasionally comes to visit Salt Lake City. It is not his primary residence, so it is not cluttered with his personal belongings, but there are a few locked closets in the home.
Our only fees are clearly listed in several places on this listing: There is a a one-time cleaning fee that covers the cleaning that occurs after you check out. Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a pet fee. No cats allowed.
IMPORTANT: In accordance with local vacation rental laws, this house cannot have more than 12 people in it. That includes children and it includes people that come over and are not sleeping there. The next-door neighbor is a county code compliance officer and he will definitely hear the noise and ruin your vacation if you're planning on having more than 16 people on the property. You will be leaving immediately and you will get no refunds. If he takes away our permit, you'll be responsible for the damages to our business.
Guest Access:
Guests will be provided with nearly everything they need: linens, towels, kitchen soap, detergent, laundry machine, hair dryer, iron, etc. Please note that you MUST coordinate with us if you want to arrive before 4 PM since other guests might be checking out on that same morning that you arrive. When this site says that your check-in time is "flexible", they mean that we can work with you if you request an early check-in; it doesn't mean that you can check in whenever you want and we don't guarantee early check-ins. So please plan on getting our approval for your check-in time. Please request high chairs, pack-n-play cribs, and blow-up beds prior to arrival.
The Neighborhood:
Avenues District
Getting Around:
There is an inexpensive bus system that will take you almost anywhere in the valley and this home is very close to several of the bus stops.
Other Things to Note:
This is a very old house. It is updated and in excellent shape, but it is an old house nonetheless. Do not expect a condo built in 2024.
WE HAVE NO HIDDEN FEES! Our only fees are clearly listed in several places on this listing: There is a a one-time cleaning fee which is clearly listed by this site. Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a pet fee of $99 each, no cats allowed. Any other type of animal needs to be approved ahead of time. Unpaid pets that are brought onto the property without us knowing may result in a higher-than-$99 fee since we may need to pay extra to our cleaning crew because they'll have to do an unscheduled deep cleaning. Federal- or state-certified service animals are welcome onto the property, but since the "pet fee" covers the extra cost of cleaning, service animals are not exempt from this fee under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Emotional support animals are not certified by the federal government or any state in the U.S., and are legally considered pets.
Conventions rates & holidays will override the standard rates shown, even if the convention dates change. Some convention dates are not input yet, and will apply regardless of reservations and inquiries made. Rates fluctuate automatically according to a computer-driven algorithm based on supply & demand. But don't worry, your rates will be locked in at the time you pay for your reservation, so if they go up or down, we will not charge you the difference or give you a refund. So no worries - we'll honor your original rates :-)
We provide one travel crib (pack n' play), one baby high-chair, and one self-inflating deluxe twin bed kit, free of charge. Additional cribs, high-chairs, or beds can be provided, but each additional item may incur an additional cost. A baby stroller can be provided free of charge but we don't usually keep those at the house, so please request that ahead of time. Additional items that are requested ahead of time are almost always guaranteed, but any last-minute requests are not guaranteed.

Interaction with Guests:
We coordinate with all guests ahead of time to make sure their check-in is easy and stress-free. In some instances, we can meet guests at the house and give them a tour of the home and tell them about the restaurants and shops in the surrounding area. Check-in times must be coordinated prior to arrival to guarantee an exact check-in time.
