Engen Hus

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.

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.

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.

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!
