Engen Hus Bed and Breakfast

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
