Downtown SLC Capitol Hill Craftsman

This breathtaking and immaculately preserved craftsman home is located just minutes walk from the heart of Salt Lake. Enjoy the tranquility of a tree lined historic neighborhood with the convenience and freedom to walk to your downtown destination.


The Space

This beautifully preserved craftsman home, built in the early 1900's is part of Salt Lake's historic Marmalade district. The home itself boasts all the original architectural details that made it unique when it was first erected and that now make it a breathtaking piece of Salt Lake's architectural history. All of the original woodwork line the walls, the original fireplace remains untouched, many of the light fixtures are original, and the boiler heated antique bronze radiators remain intact and surprisingly efficient. Enjoy a taste of another time when you stay in this beautiful home with its formal dinning room, parlor, antique wooden staircase, and all the beauty of its unmatched architectural craftsman design.

On the main floor the home is equipped with a front porch and a porch swing, a large formal entryway, a formal dining room, a parlor that has been converted into a TV room with a sleeper sofa, a small powder room half bath, and a spacious kitchen with back sun room and back porch. Up a beautifully preserved wooden staircase there is a large full bathroom and four separate bedrooms.

All the beds are brand new and excellent quality mattresses. Each bed is protected with a freshly laundered protect-a-bed waterproof mattress cover.


Guest Access

Guests will have access to the entire upper two levels of the home including front and back porch. Basement is booked out separately.


Interaction with Guests

We are available to help with anything our guests require. We respond immediately should any questions or needs arise, but we respect the privacy of our guests while they are staying and enjoying the property.


The Neighborhood

Salt Lake City's Marmalade District was named so because early street names reflected the fruit-bearing plants and trees imported and planted there by its early residents. Settled in the early days of Salt Lake City, the Marmalade District is distinguished from other neighborhoods by steep, narrow, angular streets, mature landscaping and a surprising variety of vintage residential buildings. Within a single one-block area are almost as many styles of architecture as exist in the entire Avenues Historic District. Moreover, many buildings are considered to be among Utah's best examples of certain types of architecture.

Today, the neighborhood stands as a modest, well-preserved, monument to the skill, taste, and resourcefulness of its pioneer inhabitants.

Getting Around

The home is just a 15 minute walk from downtown Salt Lake City. The local UTA Trax station is just blocks away. This locations is unbelievably ideal!

A MUST stay
We loved this cozy downtown SLC home! Rhea was very accommodating with her VRBO, too. Plenty of towels, dishes, paper towels, toilet paper, bedding & blankets… will definitely be coming back. The home was very clean and spacious enough for 6 of us. Would recommend scheduling showers in the AM & PM for larger groups to get enough hot water. The location was perfect and very cheap to use Lyft & Uber if needed!! Would recommend to anyone!

Wonderful Stay in SLC!
We stayed at this property over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was worried about trying to celebrate and cook with family and friends in a VRBO. But the second I walked in the door, I knew I had chosen the perfect place. There was a beautiful holiday tree in the front room (thank you so much for the tree--it just made the front room feel so festive and warm). The kitchen had everything we needed and the dining room seated all 8 of us comfortably. The house is just as advertised--plenty of rooms and space to accommodate a large family/group. Communication with the owner was prompt and easy. The house was really clean! There were lots of cozy throws to wrap up in and the beds were comfortable. Even though there is only one bathroom with a shower, it is so large and stocked with plenty of fluffy white towels that it wasn't an issue at all! We were able to easily walk to the train station and to the downtown shops. Many thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!!!!

Rhea and Jackson’s property was a great home base for our wedding weekend with family coming in and out of town at various times. The location is awesome and is walking distance to at least two coffee shops, boba tea, restaurants and even downtown SLC is technically walkable from here. We are locals, so we knew the location would be great but the house was amazing and had just about everything we needed for a week long stay. We would definitely recommend this property to friends and would stay here again if we needed another stay-cation. Side note: Our son’s skateboard did get stolen from the front yard during our two hour wedding. So I wouldn’t leave anything of value unattended out front.

This house was perfect for our group of 7! Not too far from our event at the Grand America Hotel. You could scooter to and from if you’d like! Super cute and cozy! We will likely try to book it again next year!

We loved this cool old house! The location can’t be beat, can not recommend this place enough! Everything you would need to cook with, abundant bath towels, bed pillows I can’t think of a single thing that was over looked as far as what you would need for everyday living in a home. Thanks for keeping this old home alive it’s just really neat and I wish the walls could talk of its history 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸

A really great combination of old house features with modern conveniences. Terrific bed in master, didn’t try the others. Quiet street and easy distance to both Downtown and City Creek Park. If we were to move to SLC, we would gladly buy this house and live here!

Great location, fun old house
If you don't mind walking a few blocks, you can be downtown in about 10 -15 minutes without having to worry about the very limited and expensive parking. We were able to go to a Jazz game, shopping, a movie, temple square, and ice skating all without having to get in a car. It was fun to stay in an old house that was well taken care of. It makes you think about how people used to live. We had a great time. Thanks!

We loved our stay at this lovely craftsman home with its old world charm and modern facilities! The swing was my favorite for my morning coffee! The kid and the dog enjoyed the front yard.

Quaint century old house in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City
We had a terrific time on our trip to Salt Lake City. We were skiing the local mountains with the Mountain Collective Pass. The house is centrally located within 40 minutes of at least half a dozen world class ski resorts. The house itself was very cozy and had old world charm. Downstairs there is large dining room, a half bathroom and a kitchen with all the necessities. The living room area downstairs has a huge flat screen tv with cable. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. There is only one shower, so we had to alternate, but never ran out of hot water. The hosts were great communicators before our arrival, but they had everything set up so well, with clear instructions, so we had no need to contact them during our stay. The house itself is decorated with old style furniture and paintings on the walls. The TV area has a huge copper medalion on the ceiling. The beds were quite comfortable, and although I initially had some worries about the old style heat pump and radiator system, we were kept cozy warm despite the frigid temperatures outside.

A Journey Back in Time
The family really enjoyed staying in this beautiful old home! The décoré of the home was lovely and peaceful. I chose this location because it was walking distance to downtown and literally minutes away from Salt Palace, in which my Graduation from WGU was held!! We had a fabulous time walking everywhere and enjoyed visiting the state capitol! What took us by surprise was that the state capitol can be seen from the master bedroom all beautifully lit up at night! We all had a great time in Salt Lake and plan to stay here in the near future again. Such a charming home.

A wonderful home away from home
We absolutely loved this delightful home. Of the dozen or more homes we have rented across the country over the years, this was undoubtedly the best value. I will be reserving this house again just as soon as I know the dates of our next trip to SLC. The home is very spacious. There are three large bedrooms upstairs - two queen beds and a king. There is also a smaller bedroom that has a nice set of bunk beds, with a trundle bed underneath, and an cute, cozy side alcove that contains a twin bed. If additional bedding is needed, there is a queen sleeper sofa downstairs. The bed I slept in had the most comfortable mattress I've experienced in decades. The upstairs bathroom has a modern jetted tub (which is very welcome after a long day of skiing, climbing, etc.), but otherwise maintains the turn-of-the-century character of the rest of the house. It was extremely well stocked with a large selection of fluffy white bath towels, hand towels, and wash clothes. When you enter the house you immediately feel like you've gone back in time a hundred years. It has been extremely well preserved with all the architectural details one might expect in a home built in 1909 (from stained glass windows to a pressed tin ceiling and so much more). It's absolutely charming. Yet it has all the modern amenities you're likely to want. The big screen tv is absolutely huge, with hundreds of channels, including HBO. And the wifi handled multiple devices streaming content at the same time without any noticeable slowdown in performance. When I rented the home, Rhea always responded very promptly to my questions. We didn't experience any problems or questions so I only contacted her again when we arrived and when we checked out. In both cases she texted me back almost instantly.
