Guest Reviews
- Ariane (8/5): Leuk verblijf gehad - Rustige mooie ligging Niets
- William (10/5): -
- Janet (10/5): -
- Leeman (10/5): Amazing B&B in SLC - We loved the place, the communication from the owners, and the ease of coming and going. The house is beautiful. The breakfast was on time and amazing. The room was clean, decorated with comfy furnishings, and very quiet. Every little detail was thought of for the guests. Nothing, it was all very accommodating
- James (10/5): - Wonderful experience; Esther was very hospitable , wonderful breakfast
- Lawrence (9/5): Superb -
- Heidi (9/5): Great experience for our anniversary and will definitely keep this place in mind for another stay - Great location. Perfect for skiers. Very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. Maybe a bit pricey compared to say a nice hotel, but lots of amenities.
- Randall (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thomas (10/5): - Awesome house! Awesome host! Awesome bed!
- TingWei (10/5): - Nice stay
- Tiffany (9/5): We enjoyed are stay. - It’s was a good time there. They upgraded are room to the bigger room.
- Tammy (10/5): - This is by far the best place that my husband and I have ever stayed. The house was in the center of town, where you could get to the highways within 5 minutes. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was very cozy. The breakfast that Esther provided was delicious. I thought it was very thoughtful of her to leave a small fanny pack to use for outings on the mountains that had a crossbody style. The backyard was very charming, with all the lights and floral design that she had put on her small shed and around the fence. The hottub was well-maintained and towels were provided. My husband and I loved the living room with the fireplace as well. We will definitely return here on our next visit to Salt Lake City.
- Nadia (10/5): - Esther was a great host, breakfast was delicious, my room was very clean, bathroom was roomy and well stocked with all the amenities. I would highly recommend! Excellent place!
- David (10/5): - This is a beautiful place to stay near SLC. It’s beautiful and quiet with dining options as well as other things to do in the area. We live to play pickleball and found a wonderful facility 2 miles away in Cottonwood. This B & B is too notch. Excellent breakfast and wonderful owner. Highly recommend!
- Deborah (10/5): The overnight stay was lovely. Wish we could have stayed longer. - The bed sheets were so soft and comfy. The towels were a bit worn.
- Carlson (10/5): Exceptional - Ester was a great host. Breakfast was amazing. It felt homey and peaceful. A lot of attention to detail.
- Hummel (10/5): Perfect - Beautiful well-appointed home, great breakfast, great host and staff
- Jill (9/5): Superb - Breakfasts were excellent. My room did not have a window (there was a door to the yard) and I wanted to enjoy the cool night air. Esther changed my room to a smaller room with a window.
- Patricia (10/5): 44th Anniversary, much needed time spent together, in comfort and peace. - Breakfast was so yummy. Prepared and served on time. We had such a good visit. I am not sure we could find anything to complain or dislike.
- traceyhQ7137XX (10/5): Great stay at Engen Hus!! - We stayed at Engen Hus for one night with another couple on our way to the SLC airport the following day (only a 20 minute drive). We were impressed with every aspect of our stay and our only disappointment was that we couldn't spend more time there! The house was well decorated, comfortable, very clean, and welcoming. Both rooms were a nice size with comfortable beds and large bathrooms. We spent time on the patio where we ate pizza that we ordered for dinner (we would highly recommend Supremo Pizza!). Esther could not have been a more accommodating host! Since we had to leave at 6:30 the next morning and couldn't stay for breakfast, she made us 4 large parfaits to take with us. They were delicious! There were a lot of nice extras during our stay: we were able to keep our cold items in the kitchen refrigerator, there was an area that had different drinks and snacks that were complimentary, there was a Keurig with various coffees and teas that we could use at any time (with to-go cups that we used in the morning), there were 3 different size chargers on the nightstands for our use, and many other amenities. We didn't want for anything! We would highly recommend staying at the Engen Hus and if you can stay for more than one night it would be well worth it!
- Adriana (10/5): Amazing - Everything is amazing Nothing
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful home delightful host great food for breakfast wished I found this place sooner Absolutely nothing negative
- Gail (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful stay? Loved it!
- MSF_12 (10/5): Would like to go back sometime - We had a beautiful room and a great breakfast. We stayed in the downstairs room (Corey) that was right off the breakfast and living room area. There was some noise in the evening from other guest talking loudly in the living room but it did not last too late. The bed was a little soft and the sheets were good quality. There was a nice patio and a hot tub right outside our back door. No one used the hot tub since it was unusually hot is Salt Lake when we were there. They provided drinks and snacks which was a nice plus.
- Brad (10/5): - Fantastic property and great hosts! Highly recommend and will be back.
- Susan (10/5): Perfect B & B - Beautiful B & B in a historic home that has been exceptionally well renovated. Friendly and welcoming hostess. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding. I have nothing but positive comments and have already recommended it to friends.
- Therese (10/5): - Ester was an AMAZING hostess!! Every detail was thought of. The beds were so comfortable that we didn’t want to get out of bed!
- David (10/5): - Beautiful former home of a famous ski jumper, Alf Engen. Esther is a wonderful host and cooked us delicious breakfast and provides coffee and snacks which were very convenient to put in the backpack to eat while exploring SLC. Highly recommend!
- James (10/5): - A wonderful and comfortable place. Delicious food
- Ray M (10/5): - Esther was an AMAZING hostess!!! She is so personable and so accommodating. The facility was fabulous and the breakfast she made was delicious and very filling. The neighborhood is very quiet and well landscaped. I would absolutely refer this property to friends and family and will be certain to return again!!!
- Lofi (9/5): The ultimate cosy spot! - Loved the place and location
- Steve (10/5): Exceptional - Hot tub was nice nice room and bathroom ACCOMMODATION AND THE BREAKFAST
- Shane (10/5): Nice place, great location, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. - Breakfast was great! Parking is very tight for a dually truck.
- Robert (10/5): - Esther's home was wonderful! Very gracious, helpful, and more!! Check in was easy, the room was clean and cozy. Breakfast was as delicious and as ordered. Thanks, Esther!!
- Amnon (10/5): Exceptional - An easy ten. The host was perfect, the rooms very comfortable, the ambiance, warm and welcoming and the public area fully equipped. Breakfast was fantastic. It was a perfect night stay to finish our trip.
- Mason (10/5): - Was fantastic. Super clean, well maintained, modern but cozy, and the breakfast was fantastic. Everything was great.
- Paul (10/5): - Awesome stay, wish I'd allowed for more time to enjoy Engen Hus! Very welcoming, clean and a gracious host. Highly recommended if you wanted to stay in the Salt Lake City area and have as a base to stay and come back to at the end of the day. Very convenient location if you're going skiing/boarding in either Little or Big Cottonwood Canyon's resorts. Much nicer than a lot of the hotel/motel options in the area, just make sure you have transportation covered as Engen Hus is in a residential neighborhood- not a negative, just something to be aware of.
- Barry (10/5): - Lovely accommodations and host. Lounged in the hot tub and garden with wine and snacks, so definitely a happy place. ❤️
- R9249FHdianak (10/5): Salt Lake Great B & B - This B&B was very comfortable, clean, enjoyed the history about the home, breakfast was excellent and even had to ask them to reduce the size for the next day, everything you could want was available. Close enough to town, area attractions yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Will stay again on my next trip.
- Christian (9/5): We really enjoyed staying at Engen Hus - Excellent breakfast (especially the banana split yoghurt). Very friendly host, beautiful rooms, very clean and qualitative materials
- Linda (10/5): Exceptional - Comfy bed! Great location. Good rec for dinner!
- David (10/5): Top Pick-B&B for any business or pleasure in SLC - the Engen Hus Bed & Breakfast is not only the best most highest recommended stay for comfort and convenience, It's also located in one of the best areas on the east side of Salt Lake. That make it the the perfect stay if you need to access down-town Salt Lake, because the eastern location allows one to access the fast back-routs so that you miss all of the morning traffic. It's location in one of the finer areas of Salt Lake, put it just the right spot to find the good diners and dives for lunch or dinner. That, along with its perfect situation close, but not too close to down town, makes the Engen Hus B&B my top pick for 2023.
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Breakfast was great!
- Barbara (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful home Wonderful host Fabulous breakfast Room Bedding and Bath Room pristine and all around great experience Nothing
- Jan (10/5): great place to stay - very nice place to stay, came there second time. Complimentary snacks and drinks, great location, family atmosphere
- Graeme (10/5): Absolutely loved our stay. The bed was so comfy and the delicious breakfast made by our host Esther. The kitchen was ext - Loved the garden, interior and exterior of the house was very appealing. So much so that my wife and I would have gladly lived there. That we couldn’t stay there for longer.
- Mireille (10/5): - Engen Hus is exceptionally charming and welcoming. It is a gorgeous house. The rooms are lovely, the communal areas inviting and cosy, the breakfast is delectable, and there are ample snacks and soft drinks on offer. The host is charming, friendly and accommodating. This is a truly lovely B&B. I’ll never stay anywhere else in SLC.
- David (10/5): We will never forget the welcome and the comfort of Engen Hus. - This was one of the best B&B experiences we have ever had. Spotlessly clean, amazing breakfast, and Esther was a great hostess. Loved the history of the place and the kind hospitality. Nothing could have been better!
- Kimberly (10/5): - Esther is a wonderful host.I felt really at home there.The hot tub was really nice with powerful massage jets and the breakfast was amazing even though it was serve yourself the morning i was there(anything you could want)I loved the common areas too,great books to look at and some little games to play.Overall a great little getaway if you want somewhere quiet and cozy.Its a beautiful swiss style home and perfect for a ski trip or some time in the mountains....big cottonwood canyon is just right up the road.loved it.
- Anonymous (10/5): Esther was an excellent hostess. Bed was so comfy & breakfast was delicious. - lovely home, with super comfortable room liked everything
- Cameron (9/5): Superb - Esther was very kind and welcoming. She made us feel at home. The breakfast was amazing!
- Emilee (10/5): AMAZING! - My husband and i stayed here right after our wedding. We had the place to ourselves which was amazing. There was free beer and beverages. Late check in accommodations and a hot tub that was amazing. The next morning breakfast was so delicious and scrumptious. Staff accommodated all our needs!
- Avis (10/5): - Very nice house and property. Just wish they didn't keep the outside lights on in the backyard. The lights came into the room and made it difficult to fall asleep even with the shades drawn. Other than that, it was great.
- Mary (10/5): If we are in Salt Lake City again, we will definitely stay here. - We highly recommend Engen Hus. It is a beautiful property in a nice neighborhood. Our hostess greeted us at the door to get us settled and make sure we had all we needed. Comfortable beds with quality linens. Beautiful spacious bathroom. Breakfast was outstanding! The grounds are beautiful with a backyard hot tub.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Cozy - Very relaxing and comfortable cabin! Highly recommend!
- Alphaj (10/5): Beautiful home, delicious breakfast, and friendly hostess - We absolutely loved Engen Hus. We were immediately welcomed by Esther and shown all the common features including the guest kitchen, snack bar and coffee/tea station, 2 common living areas (upstairs and downstairs) furnished with comfortable furniture as well as work tables or game tables, and the outside patio area which includes a hot tub, fire pit, and a table and chairs. The house was built by the 3 famous ski brothers who came from Norway but settled in Utah. The place was so open and beautifully decorated. There are 3 choices for breakfast with very generous portions and healthy food. Esther was so interesting to talk to and a very gracious hostess. She had rescued a baby bird and had styled a little incubator for it. She shared the baby bird with another guest and us, feding it with an eye dropper. Bedding is super lux and the mattress was very comfortable. The bathrooms are spacious, and some have large showers and others a tub/shower combo, all recently redone and modern. Location was great in a lovely neighborhood away from the city but easy to get to with a short drive, plus easy to reach all the ski areas. We will definitely be back to Engen Hus when we come back to Salt Lake City.
- Mark (10/5): - superb B&B, great property, renovated former historical cabin. Fabulous breakfast, complimentary beverages and snacks. A gem and fairly priced.
- AABlank (10/5): Romantic Birthday Getaway - Esther was an amazing host! I booked this B&B to celebrate my husband’s birthday & it was exactly the type of atmosphere I hoped for! The location to the city was absolutely perfect - nestled into the foothills in a charming area of town but close enough to SLC to explore all the city had to offer & only 20 min from Park Cities. The house itself gives off those romantic cabin vibes, the huge beautiful trees on the property were all changing to those lovely fall colors. We stayed in the downstairs room Corey, king sized bed, comphy sheets (if you know - you know) & HEATED bathroom floors, spacious and high vaulted ceilings. The breakfasts were equal parts beautiful & delicious - there were four options to choose from. We enjoyed the hot tub one night & sat by the fire in the main room another afternoon read our books… We didn’t get the chance to sit by the fire pit but I wish we could’ve! There was a full coffee & tea bar to keep ourselves caffeinated and comfortable. Adorable mini fridge full of local beer, sparkling water, cokes & a little snack bar suitable for all those mid afternoon munchies. Esther also made warm hot fresh cookies mid afternoon!!! I couldn’t be happier with our visit & will definitely be back.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location. Great history, and Esther’s hospitality was 1st class!
- Gail1107 (10/5): Quaint B&B - Esther is a wonderful host with a beautiful spirit. Her attentiveness to detail make this B&B a quiet, comfortable place with convenience to activities, downtown sites, and beautiful scenic drives. The breakfast is amazing! We actually had to skip lunch both days because breakfast was so plentiful.
- UNR91 (10/5): Perfect stay - Wonderful stay. Brought take out and ate in the backyard. Took advantage of the hot tub, snacks, and drinks. Room and bed very comfortable. Home made breakfast was great. Our host Esther very friendly and accommodating.
- docnewt49 (10/5): Perfect spot for a family retreat - My wife and I recently traveled to Salt Lake City to visit with our newly relocated son, and the Engen Hus was the perfect home base for that event. Esther could not have been more accommodating, and her breakfasts were the highlights of our mornings. This will be our Salt Lake City home-away-from-home!
- torund2016 (10/5): Hidden Jewel in Salt Lake City for retreats, skiing and business - Eden Hus is a step up from the traditional hotels with first class breakfast and service with friendly hosts providing the comforts of home, while having the amenities of a hotel. Location is optimal for business retreats as it is 20 min away from the airport, great location for skiers wanting to ski during the day, while enjoying a nice dinner downtown Salt Lake, and lastly a great place for solo travelers. The rooms are spacious, clean and have state of the art bathrooms. There is even a jacuzzi outside that can be enjoyed all year around. I was here on business and could work in the lobby with high speed internet. Highly recommend this place... Will be back.
- Dexter_Holland (10/5): Fantastic Find South of Salt Lake City - So we made an impromptu trip to Salt Lake City in order to visit Arches National Park and some other sites in Utah. We needed to travel somewhere, and Utah doesn't have any ridiculous Covid-19 travel restrictions in place. We googled for a B&B that has a piano, and in a serendipitous twist of fate, up popped Engen Hus B&B. I can't say enough nice things about this B&B. The proprietors are salt-of-the-earth type of people. I mean, if you needed a shirt, they are literally the type of people who would give you the shirt off their back. Their home is immaculately clean, and the bedrooms are extremely well-appointed. I don't know where they bought their mattresses, but I want one! The linens, pillows, and bedding are all first-rate. The location is dark and quiet, and very conducive to a good night's sleep. The bathrooms are well appointed and large, with very nice and functional showers.. The custom design and layout of the house is very attractive and warm. There is a fire pit and hot tub available for guest use, but we didn't partake in those. This B&B does in fact have a piano, and they were more than happy to let my son do his daily practice on it. The owners of the house have hired a beautiful girl from North Carolina to run the business, and she does an excellent job in interacting with the guests and taking care of them. If we ever go back to the Salt Lake City area, this is definitely our place!
- cityscott (10/5): Great base for skiing or any visit to Salt Lake Valley - Visited for a "guys" long ski weekend. Perfect mix of hotel-like private rooms and baths and cozy common spaces in which to "hang out" and share stories from the slopes and the old days. Terrific multi-course home-cooked breakfast served buffet-style, with gracious and warms hosts. Hot-tub in the backyard and gas fireplace in the living room were perfect add-ons. Close to all four ski areas in the Cottonwood Canyons, and easy access to the highways for longer trips, including to downtown SLC. A great alternative to the ski lodges for those who want a similar feeling without the altitude sickness.
- khferg (10/5): First-Class Lodging and Hospitality - We wanted a nearby "get-away" for our anniversary. Couldn't have chosen a better spot. So much better than a hotel. Great, clean room. Exceptional hospitality. Best breakfast ever. Highly recommended.
- 245lizziej (10/5): Karen and Doug are JUST the kind of people who should own a B&B - Karen and Doug are just the kind of people who should own a B&B. They are so kind and hospitable, and our stay couldn't have been better. They both met us at the door when we arrived and had cookies and chocolate waiting for us. We stayed in the Corey room and we were impressed with the bed, the size of the room, and the bathroom. We had a door that led out to the patio and the hot tub, which was very nice. The house has a closet full of movies and games, and it has a large great room with comfy couches that guests can use along with teas, coffees, and hot chocolate options available 24/7. One of the highlights of our stay was the gourmet breakfast Doug and Karen made us. It was served buffet style and had several options, and they said they change their menu daily to offer variety. It was healthy and delicious, and though we did not have any allergies or preferences, they did offer to adjust the menu to accommodate us if we did. I don't think it would be possible to improve our stay, we loved it!
- sandymO3860ZL (10/5): Wonderful Experience! - The physical building and wooded lot are gorgeous! The proprietors (Doug and Karen) are delightful. Hot tub in the backyard. The breakfast feasts were varied, plentiful, and Oh so tasty! Very comfortable rooms are creatively decorated. Five bedrooms total. A very relaxing environment. I highly recommend the Engen Hus B and B!!!
- DavidJobe07 (10/5): Best accomodattion ever. - Amazing accomodotation. It could be said the best I have ever had. Karen and Doug are exelent hosts. We just stayed for one night in our way to Yellowstone, but I would have stayed longer just to enjoy Engen Hus and Karen and Doug company. The breakfast was wonderful, and we share it while we held an interesting and friendly conversation with both Karen and Doug. Highly recommendable.
- lizh215 (10/5): Wonderful stay, great hosts and house - Stayed here for 2 nights, which coincided with out 40th wedding anniversary and Karen had kindly suggested some restaurants for us to celebrate this. The house is gorgeous and Karen and Doug were most welcoming. We had the ground floor room which was lovely not to have to carry our cases too far. The bed was enormous and the garden delightful to sit in later in the day, also enjoyed their jacuzzi. The breakfasts were very good, healthy and plentiful and geared to our taste. Nice quiet area with lots to do locally and a great restaurant within walking distance - about a mile. Would highly recommend.
- desert_lover222 (10/5): Very comfortable and welcoming - Very helpful and accommodating owners Karen and Doug with good suggestions for dining and activities.Tasty afternoon snacks and delicious breakfasts. Interesting history for what was originally a log cabin, now extensively remodeled and upgraded. Our original plan was to stay two nights, but we added a third night because we were enjoying ourselves so much.
- paulambuck (10/5): Simply Lovely - Stayed one night on our road trip to Yellowstone. Doug and Karen were gracious hosts and made us feel very welcome. The house is on a quiet side street which was a relief from the stressful roads on the way. Our room was the Catherine which had a small balcony overlooking the garden. Breakfast on the day we stayed had a continental feel. There was enough food to keep everyone happy. Everything freshly cooked. Doug kindly made me a spinach roll (without cheese) which was yummy. We only wish we had stayed longer. Would not hesitate to recommend.
- ericafowler (10/5): Beautiful ski weekend stay - We stayed in January for a ski weekend and had a wonderful time! Doug and Karen were gracious hosts and we enjoyed chatting over delicious breakfasts (best B&B breakfast we've ever had, hands down!) The Corey room was beautifully appointed. We only wish we had more time to stay - but not to worry, we intend to come back and see more of the beautiful Utah canyons, and when we do, we will stay at Engen Hus again!
- 181ellena (10/5): Wonderfully wecoming and one of the best Bed and Breakfasts I've ever experienced! - My daughter and I stayed here on a (Nordic) ski road trip; Karen and Doug welcomed us at the door, made us a cup of tea, gave us a tour of their lovely home, and showed us to our room, even though we arrived at 10pm after our day's ski and journey from Redstone, CO. The breakfasts were gorgeous--healthy and delicious, with many choices, and we so enjoyed sharing meals and conversation with our wonderful hosts. Beds and pillows were so comfortable that I got the manufacturing information for when it's time for my husband and I to replace the bed we've had since we were married (we've been married 30 years, so it might be time!). The selection of movies and games, access to the lovely living room, provision of teas and fruit and homemade cookies, backyard hot tub, and lovely, clean decor made us feel like we were on a luxury vacation and rejuvenated our bodies after a day of Nordic skiing up the Canyons. I look forward to returning for fall hiking with my husband, and for the rejuvenation of body, mind and spirit that these delightful hosts, and their delightful Bed and Breakfast provided.
