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.

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...
