Narnia Gateway - perfect place!

Narnia Gateway was the perfect place for our getaway! Tastefully decorated with a full kitchen, we felt right at home. Centrally located to hikes and National parks as well as numerous good restaurants & shopping, it was a perfect home base. The owners are hospitable and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing, delightful stay.

Best VRBO

We came for a soccer tournament and had the best most relaxing stay with Chad and his family. They were so helpful and went above and beyond with communicating. We’ve stayed at lists of VRBOS and this is was the best! So comfortable! I actually wanted to stay any extra day just to relax there! Lots of space for our family of 6.

This was our second time staying at The Narnia Gateway and it was just as nice this time as it was the first. I don't have a single complaint and would highly recommend this rental. The hosts have thought of absolutely everything you many need or want when away from home. They are also extremely friendly and aim to please. They checked in with us upon arrival to make sure everything was as expected and they took an interest in the reason we were visiting Salt Lake. We look forward to staying again in the future.

This was such a prime property. Set up so well! There were 4 of us and plenty of dishes and anything you would need in the kitchen - even a hot pot. Beds were SO comfortable! W/D were full size.

Clean, comfy, cozy great area, we loved every bit of this spot. The kitchen was fully stocked, we made bfast and they had a waffle maker. The accent lights was a nice addition, plus the amazing decor. We took a walk around the neighborhood and ran into a family of deer, so that was cool.

Wonderful place to stay!  My boys and I spent 30 nights at The Narnia Gateway and loved every minute.  The boys were comfortable and had fun with the unique spot for “littles”.  The Hale family were phenomenal hosts.  They were very communicative as well as heavily helpful.  When staying here, you certainly can tell that they enjoy the happiness that their cozy little nook can bring to other families.  Having also stayed there for an extended period, It was clear that their kitchen and property in general was meant to welcome both short-term and long-term stays.  You will not be disappointed if you choose this place for your getaway.  It certainly is located close to skiing, biking, hiking, shops, and everything else you could want.  Given the opportunity, I would certainly stay there again and again.  *Thank you, Chad and Kylee, for everything you did for me and my family!!!

Cozy and convenient

Loved our stay at the Narnia Gateway. As soon as I opened the front door I immediately looked back at my wife like “we get to stay here for the next few nights!” Stayed at the tail end of great SLC visit and it was just what we’re looking for and needed. Extremely clean, furniture and beds were comfortable. Cozy linens and towels…no cheap corner cutting on any of the accommodations. Perfect set up for family of 5. Convenient to just about everything in a nice neighborhood with great views. Chad and Kylee were fantastic hosts and were in constant communication to ensure our visit was perfect. Would 100% book again if we come back to the area.

An Absolute Hidden Gem!

The Narnia Gateway is what all VRBOs should aspire to! Incredible space, superbly appointed and exactly as described in the listing: extremely comfortable and well-appointed living space, very close and convenient to the Little and Big Cottonwood ski areas, plenty of restaurants nearby, quiet and very nice neighborhood, and Chad and Kylee are really, really excellent hosts. Completely exceeded our expectations,across the board. Five stars is simply not enough to rate this stay. Thank you Chad & Kylee!

A diamond in the rough

My family and I stayed at Narnia Gateway while visiting relatives in Salt Lake. We have utilized VRBO all over the US and Mexico when traveling. This home is at the top of the list when it comes to vacation rentals. First of all, the pictures do not do the home justice. It is absolutely beautiful, clean and welcoming. They have not missed a single thing. They also have many added touches to make their guests feel very much at home. As far as hosts go...these two are the best I have ever come across. I almost felt like I had made some new friends by the time we ended our stay. Choosing to stay at this vacation home would not be a mistake. We plan to visit again.
