The space THIS IS TRULY A ONE-OF-A-KIND AIRBNB With all the extra amenities you’ll find here, I believe this Airbnb is truly the BEST OVERALL VALUE for a "Private Room in a Shared home” anywhere in the United states. No other Private Room in a Shared house even comes close to having the number, and variety of additional amenities you’ll find here. Try this, do a nationwide search for, “Private Rooms" in a "shared house". Enter all the Airbnb listed amenities I offer. You’ll find very few, if any properties that match up. Now consider all the additional, unique amenities in the home, and the recreational amenities, that allow you to get out and explore the area like a local, and you’ll see there really is nothing like this Airbnb anywhere. TOP TIER AMENITIES Here's a list of some of the one-of-a-kind amenities, available for my guests. These fun extras enhance the positive guest experience, both at home, and out and about the Ogden area. These extra amenities allow my guests to live and explore the community and many of the unlimited outdoor recreational opportunities just like a local. YEAR AROUND AMENITIES Over the years, guests often mentioned that staying in my home felt a bit like being at a private wellness spa. Building on this wellness spa theme, I’ve gone all in and added an inclusive spa room with gym. The spa room has a 4-person dry sauna, massage table, a “MIRROR” work out mirror with personal trainers, adjustable free weights and kettle bell, bands, steps, mats, and a treadmill. There are also massage oils, aroma therapy, music, and a watercooler with fresh local mountain spring water. In addition to the Spa room, you can also enjoy the hot tub, cold plunge, summer pool, two massage recliners, hand, foot, and face massagers. I hope you’ll find my place to be a one-of-a-kind wellness oasis where you can relax and pamper yourself, unlike any other Airbnb you’ve stayed. * IN HOME PERSONAL MASSAGE I work with two professional licensed sport massage therapists that will come to my home when guests want to book a one of a kind in home spa experience. Heather and Camille are fully licensed Massage Therapists. They’ll meet you in the spa room, listen to your needs, then deliver an amazing, personalized individual or couples deep tissue massage. The highly competitive rates for in-home massages are: $80 for 60 min, $110 for 90 min, and $150 for 120 mins. You’ll make payment directly to your therapist at the time of your massage. Outdoor massages are also available. You can schedule your massage to be done outdoors, at times when it’s not too hot or cool, on the private and intimate Hot Tub or pool patios. If you’re interested in scheduling your massage outdoors, please LMK in advance. After a long day of travel, exploring the outdoors, or skiing one of our two world class resorts, it’s hard to find a better way to end the day then putting on a comfy robe, relaxing in the sauna or soaking in the hot tub, then enjoying a private in-home massage. Access to an in-home massage takes this Airbnb to the next level of pampering and is just one more unique amenity you’re unlikely to find at any other Airbnb. *TWO SHIATSU FULL BODY MASSAGE RECLINERS / FOOT MASSAGER / HAND MASSAGERS / EYE MASSAGER Not all guests will have a chance to book time with one of my massage therapists. I want all my guests however, to be able to relax and enjoy a soothing massage experience. To help achieve this goal, I’ve installed TWO, totally awesome full body, zero gravity, heated, shiatsu, massage recliners. In addition to these recliners, you can also focus on your feet, hands, and face, with several other additional massage amenities. Now, if you can’t get a couples massage, at least you can enjoy a “couples massage recliner” experience. NEW THIS YEAR! *COLD PLUNGE TUB The always cold and ready tub, is on the private and relaxing hot tub patio. Experience the health benefits of cold plunge therapy. Relax in the hot tub, then step into the invigoration of the cold plunge, before going back to the hot tub, repeat. *OCULUS VIRTUALITY REALITY HEADSET Now, as you relax your body in one of the two heated message recliners, you can put on the virtual reality headset, choose one of three meditation apps, and shift your relaxation to a whole new level of total emersion relaxation. This is a one of a kind total mind body experience not to missed. In addition to the meditation/relaxation experience, guests can also use the headset to play games and explore other experiences in the virtual world. NEWEST ADDITION TO THE SPA ROOM *A LULULEMON - HOME GYM Guests can now enjoy a full gym workout with a personal trainer, using the Mirror Gym and a variety of available weights. From absolute beginner to advanced expert, you’ll find classes specifically designed for any skill level. You can filter options to best meet your interests for the type of class you would like to participate in. You can also select and join a live class, or for an additional fee, book your own personal trainer to run you through a workout. * A FLEET OF FAT TIRE E-BIKES I offer all my guests the use of five fat tire electric bikes. These way cool e-bikes are designed to be ridden on pavement, dirt, or snow. These all-season fat tire e-bikes make it possible for guests to really get out, year around and explore the area like a local. The bikes have locks, lights, and tracking, and always draw attention when you’re traveling around town. These attention stealing E-bikes go 25 mph and allow guests to explore the foot hills or the beautiful Ogden River Parkway, just a couple blocks from my home. This tranquil, 12-mile-long paved parkway begins at the mouth of Ogden canyon, near an unexpected roadside waterfall and natural riverside hot springs. The trail follows the winding Ogden River through downtown Ogden, the confluence with the Weber River, south past historic Fort Buenaventura, the site of an original trapper’s outpost, and finally ending up in Riverdale. *ELECTRIC STAND UP SCOOTERS These snappy scooters have a top speed of 20 mph, and a range of 28 miles. There’s plenty of juice for an afternoon exploring the Ogden River parkway, catching a Saturday farmers market, or just tooling around the historic downtown and grabbing a bite to eat. Each scooter has front and rear lights, LED running lights, shocks, larger wheels, locks, they fold up for easy carrying, and have a helmet. * ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING Guests driving an electric vehicle, with their own cables if not a Tesla, can charge at my home for no additional cost. Tesla drivers may use my wall charger. * THE TESLA EXPERIENCE If you've never experienced an electric vehicle, especially a Tesla, you’re in for a real treat. If we can coordinate schedules, I’ll show you around the car and take you out for a ride in a Tesla Model 3 long range dual motor, the leading electric vehicle in the world. The first thing you’ll notice is the clean, bright, minimalist appearance and open design of the interior, its unlike anything you've ever been in before. You'll get the chance to see up close all the industry leading technologies, feel the neck snapping speed, torque, and control, and experience its self-driving capabilities . You’ll learn about all the security and safety features that make this the safest car ever built. SUMMER AMENITIES *STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS AND KAYAK I love to hook my guests up with all the gear they’ll need to get out on the water and really experience this fun local’s activity. 6 - SUP boards, for a variety of weights and skill levels 1 - Two-person kayak 1 - Two person, couples or family SUP board. I’ll outfit guests with an inflatable paddle board, paddle, life vest, electric pumps, picnic cooler, and a dry bag for phones and keys. These super fun inflatable boards allow guests, driving any size car, to easily get out on one of the two nearby lakes, the closest being only 10 mins. from my house. The other lake is limited to paddle sports only. This lake is a local’s secret and has no beaches. Everyone hangs out on their boards or kayaks, which is why I send you out with picnic bags. This second mountain lake offers guests both ,tranquil views as they explore pine covered canyons, and excitement, hanging out in the bay watching people jump from 30-40' high cliffs, listening to music, and enjoying a snack on the water. WINTER AMENITIES * Ski resorts I've been on the ski patrol at Powder Mountain, SKI Magazines 2023 #1 rated ski resort in North America, and the largest ski resort in the country, for 39 years. I'm also happy to offer an expert’s pointers, on where to find some of the best powder stashes on the mountain. If our schedules line up, we may even be able to spend time together on the mountain. When I can, I enjoy taking guests out for a little personal tour of some of my favorite hidden lines. I’ll show you how to read the mountain and conditions so you can find the best snow conditions yourself, just like the locals. Skiers and boarders can also easily get to Snowbasin from my home. Snow Basin was the home of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, premier downhill events. Snowbasin is also SKI Magazine’s 2023 #2 rated ski resort in North America. Both resorts are just a short 25 min ride, from my driveway to the resort parking lots. * SNOW SHOES If you're looking for a slower paced winter activity, I can set you up with snowshoes, for a more tranquil winter nature experience. Depending on conditions, you can get out on the nearby trails, forest service lands, or the Ogden Valley Nordic center. *WINTER SNOW TUBING Ogden is a 4-season town and we usually have snow on the ground for tubbing in the area parks from Christmas through mid-February. There are also some fun tubbing spots, later in the year, higher up in the mountains. I’ve purchased four, large adult size snow tubes for my guests to use. Now you can get out like a local and relive those childhood winter memories of playing on your favorite winter tubbing hills. If snow tubbing wasn’t a childhood memory, why not get out in the snow this trip and make some new winter memories? ***NOTICE*** GUESTS WHO CHOOSE TO USE ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT ACKNOWLEDGE, BY THE ACT OF TAKING THE EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE HOME, THAT THEY ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING TERMS.

There are two kitchens, two comfortable living rooms, a large sun room with a big screen TV, and spa room. There’s also a deck off the sunroom that sits alongside a 24’ above ground swimming pool, large enough to swim laps. (Memorial Day thru Labor Day). On the other side of the sunroom is a very private fenced patio with a 6-person hot tub and 45 deg. cold plunge tub. I also provide plush lined robes and towels for my guests to use after soaking in the hot tub. On the private hot tub patio is a amazon dot for music and an outdoor TV, tub side. You can watch live TV, Amazon, or Netflix as you enjoy your soak out under the stars. Out front you'll find the newest addition to my outdoor living spaces, a third patio with stunning views of the mountains, there’s music, a stylish tower propane heater, and corn hole game. This spot is a favorite of guests to take coffee or breakfast in the morning, or to relax on in the evening with a drink or dinner. I encourage guests to enjoy all the outdoor areas and taking dishes outside is not an issue. As part of my home security system, I’ve installed cameras around the exterior of the house. If you would like the hot tub camera disabled for privacy, just ask. Each bedroom has a programable entry lock so you can secure your room when you’re not home. There’s also a hotel style latch on the inside door for extra security when you’re in the room. In the winter there are three wood burning fireplaces to use, where you can cuddle up and watch TV, or just enjoy a hot drink and read a book. I also provide ski and snowboard storage, and boot and glove dryers. The home has high speed WIFI, along with Cable TV, Netflix, & Amazon TV.

PERSONAL SPACES My home has four bedrooms available for guests to book, this reservation is for 2 guests in the "VINTAGE SKIING" themed bedroom, the first room on the left downstairs. If you have additional guests in your group, I may be able to accommodate them in another room if one is open. If not, they can stay on a queen size futon bed in the downstairs family room. Extra guests, after the original two, will only be charged 1/2 the original room rate. The bedroom has a very comfortable queen size bed with a new memory foam mattress. The bed is comfortably wrapped in fresh high thread count sheets, and “My Pillows” to provide you the best possible night’s sleep. The bed is also covered with a “Weighted Blanket”.

Each room comes furnished with a granite topped dresser, night stands, luggage stand, full length closet dressing mirror, fresh spring water, and an in room flat screen smart TV with cable, Netflix and Amazon TV. I’ve also supplied the room with an Amazon Dot, enhanced speaker and charging cables for IOS and Android phones.

I hope you’ll find this Airbnb to be one of the funnest, most thought out, well appointed, and amenity packed Airbnb’s you’ve ever come across. The welcome message I’ve placed over the entryway to my home truly encapsulates my aspersions as an Airbnb host and is my motivation to share my home, and the things I’ve been blessed to enjoy, with others. "WELCOME, MAY ALL WHO ENTER AS GUESTS, LEAVE AS FRIENDS”. I hope to see you soon. Ron Guest access You'll have access to the whole home, along with use of the new downstairs kitchen as well as to the remodeled upstairs kitchen, with complementary breakfast, office work space, living and family room areas, washer and dryer, swimming pool (summer), Hot tub (year around), Sauna/Gym room, and on and off street parking.

As a local, I know all the best locations to explore, ski, hike, paddle board, swim and play, just ask. Other things to note Although this is a quiet and safe neighborhood, I have installed additional security measures for yours, and my security and piece of mind. The home has secure keyless access provided through an August Wi-Fi door lock. No keys to lose or return! You can lock and unlock the door with your smartphone or keypad at the front door, using a unique virtual key issued to you for the duration of your stay. Upon confirming your reservation you will be sent an email from August Home, requesting that you down load the August Home app. Please download the app and follow the instructions to set up your account prior to arriving. If you choose not to use the app you can also use the passcode found in your letter from August home. Please copy your number so you know where it is when you arrive. When you are at the front porch just open the app and open my keychain. Wait a couple seconds and you will see a pulsing grey circle. When it turns red and stops pulsing, press it, the circle will turn green and the door will unlock. With the passcode, enter the numbers then press the circle at the bottom of the pad and the lock will open. I've installed a video camera/two way speaker, Ring doorbell at the front door. If I'm not home when you check in, I will monitor the cameras closely when I know the approximate time you're arriving, to ensure you are able to get in with no problems. I can also open the door remotely if needed.
