  Lucinda

  We stayed with Ron over the New Year holiday period 2011, and on New Year's Eve had a bird's eye view over the City from Ron's balcony for the midnight fireworks display - takes some beating! Ron was a very welcoming and considerate host, and we enjoyed our stay enormously. He was extremely helpful in planning our trip to Utah for both skiing and touring the national parks afterwards and is able to provide all sorts of insider knowledge on his city that you just don't get in guide book.His...

  This has been an amazing experience! Staying at Ron's house was incredible ad the best decision ever! The place is out of this world and Ron is a great human being. He was really the perfect host, attentive, generous but at the same time you feel like you are by yourself in your own house! Ah and we loved Tucker. Esta ha sido la mejor experiencia que hemos tenido mi hijo y yo! Quedarnos en la casa de Ron fue una excelente decisión, pues es un lugar maravilloso. La habitación era muy... More »

  Ron is a nice person, seeking constantly how he can be of help. His fantastic house is located in a scenic part of SLC with beautiful views, especially in the morning. Nice breakfast, parking is no problem. Plenty of for even 4 people in the wing of the house Ron provides. We are extremely greatful for his valuable travel advices going to southern part of Utah. We recommend his place for staying for 2 to 4 people. Thank you Ron again!

  Linda

  Excellent host! Very knowledgeable about the area & gave us great tips on what to see & do during our stay. Would definitely recommend our friends to stay here when they are in the area.

  Keith

  What a guy! What a place! Ron is the consummate host and takes very good care of his visitors. He's intelligen and is overflowing with knowledge about Utah (actually, Ron seems to know a lot about many places around the world) and will gladly offer advice and recommendations about things to do. My girlfriend and I have stayed with him twice now and can't wait for another chance to visit Salt Lake City. Ron is the kind of guy that I wish I knew better. His house is beautiful with... More »

  My boyfriend and I were very happy with our stay with Ron. The only complaint we could have was that we wished we could have stayed longer! It was a short visit-just one night and morning-but Ron was extremely kind and a wonderful host. We enjoyed a night out and had great food and conversation. We definitely recommend this stay to anyone and hope we can make a return visit someday!

  Roberto

  One word to describe my experience at High Aves Modern… A W E S O M E! Awesome host, awesome house, from start to end. You arrive to a home that lacks nothing, everything you need –and more-- is there already, waiting for you to enjoy. Ron is an elegant, educated, thoughtful and very considerate host that will go the extra mile for you. His attention to detail will amaze you. As others before me have testified, I can assure you that by the time you leave the house every morning; you will... More »

  Cheri + andrew

  This is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood. The guest room is spacious, comfortable, and private. It made for a perfect overnight stop to break up a long drive from SF to Wyoming. Ron is outgoing and hospitable, and made us feel right at home during our very short stay. Another good airbnb experience!

• 

  Michele

  Ron was a wonderful host, opening his house to myself and my family. We fully enjoyed our time, his home is beautifully decorated, with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Mornings were relaxed with breakfast laid out next to the daily paper. Ron was helpful with ideas for the area, as well as loaning my son a belt and helping him with his tie as we headed off to a wedding! I'll be back at Ron's for sure this winter to enjoy the skiing! It was a perfect place to spend our time in... More »

  We had a wonderful stay with Ron. His knowledge of the area and history was very helpful. Being dog lovers Tucker was a bonus for us. We really enjoyed the restaurant Ron suggested. We would recommend AirBNB and Ron to anyone visiting SLC. Ed and Carolyn

  Nous sommes revenus visité Salt Lake pour la convention du Plein-air. C'est maintenant la deuxième année que j'ai la joie de rester chez Ron. Ron est très acceuillant et serviable. Il offre de nombreux conseils tant pour visité Salt Lake City que pour la route. Serviable et dévoué il est toujours agréable de discuter avec Ron. Je n'ai aucune hésitation à vous recommander de prendre chambre chez Ron. Merci encore et à l'an prochain. Marc et Alexandra

  Our host Ron was extremely welcoming and made us feel at home immediately. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner sharing adventure stories and dreaming about the future. Thanks Ron for a great experience ! Your Canadian pals, Deb and Doug

  Jan

  Ron and his dog Tucker are perfect hosts. Tucker greets you like you were a long lost friend and Ron provides the best views, an elegant home and very excellent food and conversation

• 

  James

  Ron was an amazing host. We were 1st time AirBnB'ers and were not sure what to expect. He reached out ahead of time and answered any questions I had as well as gave us some recommendations so that we could schedule them into our trip. He even asked for our airline/flight information so that he could monitor our progress. Really thoughtful! Upon arrival, the room was clean and Ron was ready for us. Tucker seemed very excited to have new friends for a few days, but Ron was careful to be... More »

  My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Ron's. His house is absolutely beautiful (even better than the pictures) and has an amazing view of the city. Ron is extremely knowledgeable about Salt Lake City as well as the surrounding national parks and gave us some excellent suggestions of places to visit -- he even made some phone calls to help us find an inexpensive hotel in the area we were headed to see if they had vacancies. After we headed out, Ron called us because my boyfriend had left... More »

  Thomas

  All three of our AirBndB stays have been great, our evening with Ron being my favorite. The accommodations are as nice (or nicer) than the photos. Ron went out of his way to make our one night stay as pleasant as possible. He recommended a nice restaurant/pub (Desert Edge) and even made a special trip to the grocery store to get fresh fruit for our tasty breakfast. He did all this even though he was preparing for an important business meeting that same day. (Hope you get the contract... More »

  David

  Ron made us feel like favored guests at his wonderful mid-century modern hillside home. We dined we toured and we learned about his adopted hometown. Ron is a raconteur, a bon vivant, a tour guide, a listener and now a friend. Tucker, his lovely dog, is icing on the cake. What a great time we had.

• 

  Peter

  Ronny Boy!!! Ron is the epitome of airbnb. Exactly what you should get from an airbnb experience, you get from Ron. From the breakfast to the comfortable room to the wifi to drinks on the town to the hike in the mountains. It's all there. If you aren't pleased with your stay at Ron's, I'LL give you your money back. Maybe that was rash. If you aren't pleased with your stay at Ron's, you probably just can't be pleased. (Oh, yeah, the view from the deck is ridiculous.)

  Dasen

  My wife and I stayed in the place for five days and we enjoyed our stay. We were out busy during the daytime on all these days, but we did get to relish the grand view of Salt Lake City every morning when we sat in Ron’s beautiful second-floor dining room over our morning coffee. The room is clean, the location is convenient, and the host is hospitable. A good place to stay for a short visit to Salt Lake City. 值得推荐的家庭式旅店. The Air B&B setup caused a few confusions in our...

  We enjoyed our stay at Ron's. Ron was very friendly and gracious. The bed was super comfortable and the room was spacious and beautifully decorated. We'll be back!

• 

  Al

  Had a terrific stay at Ron's. He's extremely hospitable, the room is nicely decorated and his place is lovely. Also, Ron's lived in Salt Lake City for decades and knows a ton about the area. Recommended!

• 

  Patrick

  After a tiring trip from Brussels to Salt Lake City, Ron's place was a relax spot to recover from our journey. He is a very friendly host and we felt directly at home. The breakfast was extensive and a lot of fresh food. We can recommend this place if you visit Salt Lake City.

• 

  Kevin

  Gracious host, beautiful home. View over Salt Lake City was wonderful. Room was tidy and comfortably furnished. A real room in a real home. Desk to work at, WiFi information was already waiting. A very considerate host for a tired traveller.

• 

  Kate

  Ron's house is full of sunlight, furnished beautifully, and accessorized with art, plants, and books. Room is large, comfortable, has good storage plus writing desk, and great view of SLC and mountains. Wonderful, healthy breakfasts. Ron and his dog, Tucker, are great hosts.

• 

  C.j

  Ron is a very well host. I have my client stay at Ron's place, both of my clients love the place and love the way Ron treats them. The location is great, most importantly, Ron is very helpful. I will choose Ron again.

• 

  Craig

  Ron was an amazing individual to stay with. I drove out to Salt Lake City from Boston without a place to stay and Ron was kind enough to put me up via Airbnb while I found an apartment. He was instrumental in helping me learn about the city and gave tips on what places to look at where. In my free time he also showed me the best nearby places to run and eat! The abode was clean and tidy, the views from it were great and his dog is very friendly.

• 

  Edward

  Ron was a wonderful host. He was happy to show us around the city and provided some excellent conversations! We couldn't have asked for more.

• 

  Marguerite

  We had a wonderful stay with Ron in his stunning home. My daughter was injured in a ski accident and we stayed with Ron after her discharge from the hospital while we waited for her to be cleared to fly home. His home is beautiful, comfortable and has just the most georgious views of the mountains and the lights of Salt Lake. It is also in a great neighborhood and 35 minutes from lots of wonderful places to ski. Best of all, Ron was just the perfect host. He is great company and he helped... More »

  Stephan

  I stayed in Ron's home for a week while on a ski vacation in Salt Lake city Utah. The room was perfect! When I needed a restaurant Ron made sure I went to the best spots in town. He even joined me for dinner on multiple occasions. He knew all the in's and outs of the ski resorts within driving distance of his place and made sure I found my way there in comfort and ease. Ron's home is a truly wonderful place; full of stories, life... most of all, a generous, kind and conscientious host. ... More »

  Richard

  Ron is a gracious, friendly, worldly and knowledgable host.. I truly enjoyed his company and conversation. His home in beautiful and decorated with objects, photos and art from his wide travels. The room and separate bath are down a wing on the lower level, lending privacy. Great view of the mountains to the east and west and city below from his house in the hills yet close to downtown. I have stayed with Ron before and will do so again. A geat Airbnb experience.

• 

  Kimberly

  Ron was great! As a solo female traveler, I was a little nervous, but Ron made everything entirely comfortable. Ron has a beautiful house, and the sweetest dog Tucker. I would absolutely stay here again.

• 

  Franklin

  Ron was a phenomenal host. He showed me several of the nicest restaurants in Salt Lake City and was even kind enough to give a personal tour around Temple Square. The location of his house, and view along with his hospitality is far beyond any Hotel I've ever stayed. I would absolutely stay with Ron again whenever back in Salt Lake.

• 

  Jessi

  Ron is great. His house is beautiful, the dog is wonderful, and the energy in the place is fun. Can't say enough good things about staying there, and if I'm back out in Salt Lake City at any point I will definitely want to stay there again.

• 

  Joseph

  Not only was Ron's house ideally located for exploring SLC and accessing the various ski areas, but he was also a wonderful resource for info about the ins and outs of the City and a fun & friendly host, i.e. inviting me to a going away party for his yoga teacher. I highly recommend his B&B if you decide to visit SLC.

• 

  Tracy

  Ron has a beautiful home overlooking the Salt Lake valley. The room is nicely decorated, comfortable and private with an amazing view. In addition to great accomodations, Ron is the perfect host. When I arrived, he was at the neighborhood holiday party across the street, so he welcomed me by inviting me to the party where I met some intersting, wonderful neighbors. I definitely recommend staying at Ron's. I plan to next time I am in SLC. Thanks Ron!

• 

  Todd

  Fantastic accommodation in a great SLC location with a wonderful host. Ron provided enjoyable and varied conversation for the evening and even made some desert (which worked great for breakfast, too!). As many others have noted, Ron's dog Tucker is also very friendly, and added to enjoyment of the stay. Highly recommended. We may just be spoiled now, as this was our first airbnb stay.

• 

  Hulya

  I was visiting Utah for a conference and I'm really happy that I chose to stay at Ron's place instead of a hotel. His beautiful and friendly home (and golden retriever!) reflects every bit of Ron's well-traveled and open minded character. Ron was also an amazing guide. It was my first time in Salt Lake City and his suggestions on what to do and where to go in the city (from visiting skiing resorts to the best food in town) were spot on. He was also kind enough to keep me company at dinner... More »

  Ron is an excellent host. He is personable, kind and gracious. From the moment I arrived, he took the time to get to know me and helped me to maximize my experience in Salt Lake City. Ron's home is beautiful, clean and conveniently located. My room was very comfortable and quite. By the way, Ron is a very good chef (if you get lucky enough to have dinner with him) and the breakfast in the morning with the fantastic city view is priceless. I am so glad I did not stay at a hotel and instead... More »

  Ron is a fascinating host who owns a stunning home. It was wonderful place to witness the beauty of Salt Lake while making a new friend. We can't wait to find/make more time to come back.

  We LOVED our stay at Ron's place. He's been very helpful, giving us advice about things to do in Salt Lake City, nice places to eat, maps. We had a large and confortable bedroom very nicely decorated, with a neat bathroom. We really enjoyed the delicious breakfasts with local fresh fruits and Ron's very nice dog Tucker, the wonderful view of the city from the balcony and some very interesting conversations. Ron is a very pleasant and thoughtful host and we strongly recommand people to stay at... More »

  Coco

  Ron turned my vacation in Salt Lake City from a possibly miserable time with duties to fulfill for my relatives to a refreshing, relaxing and exciting time with small surprises. As many reviewers say, he is an absolutely wonderful host! I traveled all the way from the East Coast to Salt Lake City because I ‘had to’ spend just a few hours a day for a few days. I had most of the day to travel by myself and as for what to do, I was at a loss when I got there. He gave me suggestions for where to... More »

  Ron was a really lovely host to to a group of 3 of us first-timers. His home is impeccably kept and peaceful, with an extraordinary view of the city. I highly recommend making a stay with Ron part of your experience here!

  Ron is a beautiful person with a beautiful home! Great comfy bed, plenty of privacy, gorgeous view. Ron had some great suggestions for fun things to do -- driving up into the mountains to look at the wildflowers was amazing. He really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and help me navigate the city. SLC is a sweet town and I can't think of any better place to stay than with Ron and Tucker. Highly recommended for sure, and I hope to make it back some day and have some more mole at... More »

  Salty Lake City has an exciting varied cultural scene going on and many associated social circles.In addition to his lovely home, friendly dog, and great views, Ron knows what's happening and how to get there.

  Justin

  Ron was a most gracious host to Sarah and I. Even after arriving later than expected, Ron stayed up for us and greeted us at the door with his big, excited Golden Retriever, Tucker. He immediately welcomed us in, showed us our (incredibly comfortable) room, and invited us to sit down to a beer and some great conversation. In the morning, he helped us find some key sites that were of great interest to young opera singers, as we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, before heading out on the last... More »

  If I could rate higher than a 5 I would. Had a fantastic time in SLC, but my trip was made even more enjoyable by staying with Ron and meeting his local connections. I now have a place to stay every time I go back. Eric Graham President, Next-Ascent.com

  Maxime

  Ron has been a great host in Salt Lake. His advices were very welcome. The breakfast was good and he is an interesting person to discuss with. His place is beautiful and located in a very quiet part of town. Everything was tidy and beds were comfortable. The view from there is very nice because it is located in the mountains surrounding the city. For this exact reason, you better plan a taxi budget because you won't get there by public transportations or by foot. Ron has a dog but... More »

  Ron's home is perfectly appointed for guests. The two bedrooms for rent are on a separate floor from the main living area, giving guests ample privacy. Ron and his pup were very friendly and gave us all the comforts and advice we needed during our short stay. I would highly recommend Ron's home to anyone. We hope to be back!

  If you're looking for a place to stay in SLC, this is the spot. Ron was the perfect host, a very warm and welcoming personality. Not only is his house wonderfully located and nicely decorated, but Ron also knows Salt Lake City so well that he'll point you to all the right places. A truly excellent experience, we had a fantastic time in SLC. Een echte aanrader, door Ron zullen we altijd goede herinneringen aan SLC overhouden.

  My son and I had a wonderful time and stay. Being our first experience with airbnb, the bar was set very high! Ron's home is beautiful and impeccably clean. He was very welcoming, including inviting us to join him for a wonderful hike and picnic atop a near by bluff-beautiful! Thanks for everything! Lisa

  THE place to stay in Salt Lake City!! Ron & Tucker are great! The space is private and gorgeous. We had a great stay & highly recommend Ron.

  Although we only stayed with Ron for one night, we had a fantastic time. Ron suggested a number of things we could do in Salt Lake and was really helpful. Ron's house is lovely and has fantastic views of the area. The room was clean, comfortable and Ron provided a great breakfast. Ron made us feel very at home and we would definitely recommend staying with him.

  Charles

  Ron was a gracious host who has done a lot of world traveling, including to isolated stretches of Tibet -- the 'roof of the world'. Ron's golden retriever Tucker gets very excited when someone new comes but calms down quickly. The High View neighborhood offers a very nice overlook of downtown Salt Lake City and the light rail train is several blocks down the big hill. My wife and I were very comfortable there, despite it being unseasonably cold for May. Ron cleared some space for our milk and... More »

  My second visit had all the wonderful qualities of my first stay with Ron. From his lovely home one has a birds eye of the beauty and grandeur of Salt Lake Valley and the Wasatch Mountains. Ron is a fine host and guide into Utah. His dog Tucker is a player in the good time.

• 

  Jen

  THANKS FOR THE STAY RON! YOUR HOME WAS AMAZING AND I ENJOYED MEETING YOU!

• 

  Vesela

  Ron is a gracious host and a new friend. Staying in his home is a traveler’s gift—the walls are lined with photographs and paintings from his diverse travels, the view of the Wasatch Range transports and inspires, and its mascot, Tucker, warms your soul. As much as my daughter and I enjoyed exploring the Salt Lake area (walking through Olympic Park in Park City was exhilarating), our experience would not have been as rich without Ron’s generosity. Did I mention learning about new music?... More »

  Fantastic host! Beautiful house, friendly dog, terrific kitchen, comfortable room, and a great balance of friendly but not intrusive. This was my first AirBnB experience - if every visit goes this incredibly well, I'll never stay at a hotel again in my life. I had a terrific time and I'm hoping to stay at Ron's again in 2011 (I was in town for a yearly conference). One of my friends at the conference decided to stay an additional day and I immediately told him about Ron's second rentable... More »

  Robert

  Had a great introduction to SLC at Ron's place. It was my first AirBnB experience, and it was very worth it. I would recommend Ron to anyone looking to visit Salt Lake.

• 

  Loren

  Ron is a great ambassador for Salt Lake City and wondrous culinary, musical and cultural delights. His "High Aves Modern" offers spectacular views to the Wasatch Mountains, the city and valley below, and beyond. He will prompt interactive stories about far away places and big ideas. My son and I had three great days of skiing in Utah and a warm welcome in his lovely wintertime home. Staying with Ron and his great dog Tucker, who is almost as engaging a co-host, is a windfall for travelers.

• 

  Ian

  Ron was a very generous host. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was great. Ron offers great conversation, too. He's very knowledgeable about SLC, is well-traveled, and seemed to have a background knowledge in just about everything.

• 

  Andy

  Ron provided a clean and wonderful place to stay for a night in Salt Lake City. He and his dog Tucker are both very friendly and Ron had some great tips on where to go in downtown Salt Lake City (which is walkable if you really like walking - a great 30-40 minute walk through Memory Grove Park). The room was clean and very nicely decorated - on par with many "real" B&B's I've stayed at. I'd definitely recommend it.

• 

  Markus

  I completely agree with Eric and the other reviewers -Ron ist just a wonderful host and a charming person with a deep knowledge about quite everything. This was the first time my girlfriend and I didn't book a hotel and used airbnb instead and we just can recommed it even it there might not always be a host like Ron to welcome you. Ron ist ein unglaublicher Gastgeber, freundlich und perfekt in Vorbereitung und Unterbringung. Das Haus ist schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, der Gästeraum... More »

  Ron is a terrific host, welcoming and hospitable, and full of tips and suggestions about where to go in Salt Lake City. The home is lovely, with a beautiful view of the city and the entire Valley, as well as five minutes from downtown. This is an ideal airbnb spot. Eric Goldman

  Ron has mastered the art of hosting. He provided all that I needed to enjoy my brief stay in his lovely home. I look forward to a return visit when I can linger a bit longer over the drop dead gorgeous views of Salt Lake City and surrounding mountains.

  Marilyn

  Ron was a truly great host! The few days I spent as his guest provided me with a great home environment while in SLC. The warmth and welcome he gives comes from a genuine desire to enjoy the pleasures of meeting new people; sharing life's adventures; enjoying conversation.
