This was my first excursion to a bed and breakfast and it was pretty amazing! We drove up from Phoenix to Salt Lake for the weekend and stayed here with Doug & Karen and a few other guests. The house itself or Hus as they call it from the original Scandinavian design of it, was super warm and inviting. It was incredibly clean throughout and our room was great sized and very comfortable. The bathroom was big and it had a great shower as well. I was curious about how they could possibly supply hot water to everyone as I think they have 4 or 5 guest suites and Doug showed me how they have two hot water tanks for the just the three rooms upstairs and more for the rooms downstairs. They really seemed to think everything through here. Lots of open space in the house and at no time did we feel like guests, we felt like we were staying with friends and that was very unique to me having never done this before. Let's see, they had snacks and beverages out at some points during the day or evening and I apologize, I cannot remember which. Breakfast was OUTSTANDING! We had everything, all of the foods were there. Eggs, sausage and apple rings, pastries, fruits, juices. Everything was fantastic! I do wish we had taken more time there as it was so nice. Already thinking about going back next summer for a few days. Thanks Karen! Thanks Doug! If I can figure out how I'll put a few pictures up that I took as well. read more

Rarely do you find a bed and breakfast with such attention to detail. The B and B was once the home of Corey Engen and the history of the home adds to the overall charm. The rooms are decorated for different locations, we stayed in Catherine, which has it's own private balcony. The rooms are all beautifully decorated, with the bathrooms even coordinating with the theme. Many of the rooms have quilts made by Karen and Doug's oldest daughter. The beds and pillows were comfy and we felt right at home during our stay. Engen Hus is immaculate. I enjoyed all the natural light and attention to detail. The owner's, Karen and Doug, are kind and helpful. Breakfast was a wonderful meal, with so much food. We especially liked the fresh fruit and homemade coffee cake. We will definitely return for another stay! read more

Just had a fantastic stay. Hosts are very welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and healthy. They do all the little extras to make you feel welcome, e.g. Little complimentary snacks on the counter for those arriving late. The bed was super comfortable. The entire property was spotlessly clean, and recently renovated with charming ski chalet-inspired decor. Highly recommend this B&B, especially if you are skiing nearby Snowbird or even if you just have a business trip to SLC. read more

One of the best accommodations I've ever stayed in. I am super picky about where I stay and this was as fine as any five-star hotel I've been to. Immaculately clean throughout, great location, super comfortable and quiet room set at perfect temperature, and Esther is just so helpful and lovely to speak with. The breakfast buffet was perfect for me, but Esther will also prepare a full breakfast if you prefer. read more

My wife Aimee and I had the best Honeymoon here at the Engen Hus we absolutely loved it there. We will definitely be back and we referring family and friends too. The food was amazing! They are such great people. read more

We had a great time a the Engen Hus. It's a 4 bedroom B&B but it feels like a resort. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the nicely decorated rooms, even though we stayed in one we were able to see them all. We had a very relaxing end of the night in their hot tub. In the morning we were greeted by a gluten free European breakfast( I cannot eat gluten) and a hot pot of tea and coffee. Get ready for a good time here. read more

Beautiful accommodations. Our room was extremely comfortable and spacious. The bed and pillows were top notch. Karen and Doug went above and beyond to welcome our family into their B&B. Breakfast was great with all healthy options. They had a game room and musical instruments perfect for our daughter. Very close to Brighton Ski Resort, and felt so good to come home to after a long day of snow. read more

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. The hosts were especially good with their people skills- they remembered our names and our stories, and even remembered the name of our baby daughter, who we left with her grandma for the night :) I don't think it would be possible to improve our stay, we loved it!I don't think it would be possible to improve our stay, we loved it! read more

Doug and Karen are wonderful hosts. Engen Hus is so cozy. We stayed in the largest room (Cory) so we had our own thermostat to make our room nice at toasty (essential since we're from Arizona and can't stand the cold). Both time we visited Salt Lake, it snowed, which was a fun treat. Doug provided a sled and gloves so we could play in the snow. The breakfasts are AMAZING! Hot chocolate (and I think coffee and tea) are always available. Breakfast is hearty with several options, all produce is fresh and delicious. They also set out snacks in the afternoon which was a nice treat whenever we returned from an adventure. Doug also de-iced the front porch for us so we wouldn't slide and gave us fantastic restaurant recommendations in the area. They also have a jacuzzi and the B&B is located within driving distance of great skiing and hiking. The B&B has a wonderful family environment. My baby was welcomed and Karen provided toys and a high chair for her. We've been here twice and plan to return in the future. read more

This is a terrific choice especially for family members or friends who want a friendly and comfortable "home away from home" to spend some time together. The breakfasts are creative and delicious. Rooms are lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub too. We highly recommend this B & B. read more

We had such a nice stay and will definitely come back. Comfortable bed, nice big towels and snacks and coffee/tea/cocoa on hand. They are gracious hosts and the area is beautiful. We ate at The Silver Fork Lodge at Karen's recommendation and we loved it. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious....the bacon ahhhhhhmazing! Looking forward to a return stay in the spring. read more
