Friends group on a research trip at the Family History Library. We found this property perfect for us, with three bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. We really enjoyed the fireplace in the living room and the beautiful view from the front window. Garage parking and short walk to the FHL were great features, too. We would definitely book this property again.

The house was very nice and relaxing. Easy walk to convention center (10 mins), Temple Square and downtown. We parked the car in the garage and left it there until we were done with our visit. So much better than staying at a hotel! The host was easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend.

Convenient location and great living area/kitchen.

We really enjoyed our stay at the spot. Overall, for the price, we definitely think it is worth it and would recommend it to others. The kitchen organization could be a bit improved for cooking and knowing what is there and what is not.

Almond Joy is not just another home—it’s a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Salt Lake City. What sets this property apart is the incredible combination of stunning views, unbeatable location, and luxurious amenities.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this location because it perfectly blends the excitement of city living with the tranquility of a quiet neighborhood. Being just one block from Temple Square and within walking distance of iconic spots like City Creek Center, The Gateway, and Memory Grove Park means we’re always close to the action. Whether it's dining at the city's best restaurants, shopping downtown, or enjoying a relaxing stroll through historic landmarks, everything is just a short walk away.

For us, easy access to world-class skiing was a must. With I-15 just minutes away, we can reach Alta, Snowbird, or Park City in just 35 minutes, making it perfect for winter adventures. And when friends and family visit, we’re just 12 minutes from the airport, which makes travel a breeze.

We chose this spot because it offers the best of both worlds—urban convenience and stunning mountain views, all wrapped up in a quiet, charming street that feels like home.

What makes this property unique
