Welcome to Granny's!
About Your Space
Hello and Welcome! We created this guidebook in an effort for you to understand your home and obtain all the information you need for your trip!
Welcome to our cozy little gem—a home that’ll whisk you back to those magical days at grandma’s house, where every corner holds a story and every quirk is part of the charm! We’re thrilled to host you for your upcoming stay. As a family-owned business, we treat our guests like part of the family.
If something feels a bit eccentric, like the creaky floorboards or that one door that always sticks (classic grandma house stuff!), just let us know. We’re here to make sure your stay is as comfy as Sunday dinner at grandma’s table.
Frequently Asked Questions
Address & Directions
475 E 6815 SMidvale, UT 84093
GPS Navigation will take you right to the property.
Parking
You have ample parking for cars. Try to avoid street parking as much as possible as there is plenty of space in the driveway.
Check-In Time
4:00pm MST, unless otherwise agreed upon. Early Check-Ins are available on a case by case basis with varied fees based on the requested time.
Gaining Access
Your code will be sent 24 hours prior to check-in via message. Below are directions for operating the smart lock:
- Unlocking Upon Arrival – The code is to be entered into the smart dead bolt. It is a black circle, that looks like a regular deadbolt but is in fact a touch screen key pad. Enter the code given and then press the unlock symbol. You may need to "wake it up" a bit first. If you get stuck here is an example tutorial video. Note: The code used in the video is not your code.
- Locking Upon Departure – First, make sure the door is fully closed. During the winter, you may have to pull it closed with more force. Then tap the padlock button. Check that the lock is fully engaged by trying to open the door.
Heating & Cooling
You have full control of the thermostat. It is located in the hallway upstairs. Please do not set the thermostat below 70 degrees as it will freeze the AC system and cause it to stop working.
As well, during the winter please do not turn off the heat when you leave the home. It will cause the pipes to freeze. SHEESH! Home ownership am I right?!
We also have a VA team that virtually monitors the thermostat daily to make sure it is not set to where it will break the unit or home.

- Please leave the linens on the beds.
- For used towels, please put them in a pile on the floor of the bathroom.
- If you moved furniture please move it back.
- If something didn't work during your stay, please let us know.

House Rules
If any issues are encountered during your stay, please reach out to us as soon as possible! Timely communication is KEY in getting issues resolved. The guest services team will work to troubleshoot with you first before calling out a handy person, which will most likely be the owner of the home. If the handy person is unable to find an issue or it was a user error, the guest will be subject to paying their fee. If there is an issue identified with the property, the owner will pay their fee.
1. Smoking/Vaping: No smoking or vaping is allowed on the premises. A $200 per day fee will be assessed for each day of the reservation if it is found that guests have been smoking or vaping on the premises.
2. Pet Policy: Pet-friendly properties will be marked “Pet Friendly” on the listing, in the description in multiple locations, and/or in the images on the listing.
- If the property IS pet friendly, we allow pets at the property at the cost of $10 per pet, per day. Emotional Support animals fall under this requirement as they do not have the same rights as Service Animals under the ADA.
- If the property IS NOT pet friendly, no animals are permitted at the property.
- Service Animals are permitted at ALL PROPERTIES at no extra cost, as they are protected under the ADA, as long as accommodations are reasonable.
Guests are required to pick up after their animal and will be charged $10 per exterior location if not cleaned up by the guest. If animals defecate or urinate on the floors, the guest will be responsible for payment for professional carpet cleaning services. If animals cause damage to the property, the guest will be responsible for paying for any repairs or replacement. For unauthorized pets, a $250 fee will be assessed.
3. Communication: Our guest services team is ready and able to help with issues that may arise. If further assistance is needed, guests are welcome to text or call us outside of the platform. They are also able to knock on the door of the house and the owners will respond. That may be the fastest way to get in touch.
4. Early Check-In/Late Check-Out: Guest requests are subject to our cleaning team's availability. As a standard, the fee is $15 per hour past or before the indicated departure or arrival time. If several extra hours are requested, guests may be required to book the day before or after their desired arrival or departure day. 24 hours advance notice is required. If not approved in advance, a $50 unauthorized late check-out fee will be assessed for each hour past the indicated check-out time.
5. Tours: For short stays (1-15 days) in-person tours are not available. For guests looking to stay for longer than 15 days, reach out for information about in-person tours.
6. Cancellation: By booking, guests agree to the cancellation policy on the listing, detailed on the booking platform. Cancellation policies are firm. If the dates of the initial reservation are rebooked by another guest after a cancellation from the original guest, a refund will be issued to the original guest.
7. Occupancy Limits: The maximum number of guests is indicated on the listing. The property may be able to sleep more guests in beds and non-traditional locations (sofas, couches, and/or air mattresses). Reach out with additional questions regarding occupancy, as it varies per property and county/city jurisdiction. Additional fees may be assessed for guests staying at the property above the number indicated on the reservation.
8. Reservation Changes: If a guest needs to change the dates of their reservation or the number of guests on the reservation, please submit a “Reservation Alteration Request”. Guests may be subject to adjustments in price due to the alterations made. The host reserves the right to deny requests.
9. Consumables: Paper goods, soaps, sponges, and detergents found at the property upon arrival are all that are included in the reservation. If additional items are needed, the guest is responsible for purchasing items for use during their stay.
10. Lost and Found: Guest items left behind will be held for 14 days. If guests believe they left an item, reach out to our guest services team via the booking platform. Items can be shipped to past guests for a $20 fee, plus the cost of materials and shipping. Payment must be received prior to shipping. After 14 days, items will be considered abandoned.
11. Acceptance of State of Property: Please survey the property upon arrival and communicate any pre-existing damages to avoid being charged for damages from previous reservations. Guests have the first two hours after check-in to report any issues. After that grace period, the guest accepts the condition of the property and will be subject to damages found after check-out.
12. Receiving Packages: Reach out to guest services for questions regarding receiving packages at the property, as it varies per property. The host is not responsible for items that are shipped to the property. For reservations longer than 15 days, the host may require a guest to sign a lease agreement outside of the booking platform or ask the guest to have packages delivered to another location or post office.
13. Pests: Professional pest control is required at all properties and is something taken very seriously by the host. If an unexpected bite or rash is reported, guests must seek medical attention to confirm the cause. If a medical professional confirms that the unexpected medical condition is due to pests, the host will contact a third-party pest control company to verify the presence of bugs in the property. Based on their report, appropriate action will be taken to control the pest, mitigate the damage, and make amends with the guest.
14. Locked Out: If a guest locks themselves out of a door with a key, guest services can instruct the guest on accessing the lockbox. If it is a door without a key, guests will be required to call a locksmith at their own cost. If someone from the host’s team is dispatched, a $60 fee will be assessed.
15. Moving Furniture: Moving furniture is not allowed. A $500 fee will be assessed if the cleaners have to move furniture to reset the property for the next guest.
16. Name on Reservation: Guests are not permitted to book on behalf of someone else. Exceptions cannot be made unless explicitly approved by the host, in writing, through the booking platform.
17. Extended Stay Cleaning Fee: For guests staying longer than 15 days, an additional fee will be assessed of 50% of the advertised cleaning fee. Extended Stay Cleaning Fee must be paid 24 hours prior to check-in or the reservation will be subject to cancellation.
18. Quiet Hours: Quiet hours begin at 10:00 PM each night and continue until sunrise. Quiet hours consist of keeping all audio and noise levels at a minimum level out of respect for the surrounding residents.
19. Missing/Broken Items: Any items missing or broken must be reported to the host. Please leave broken items on the kitchen counter when you leave. Additional charges may apply.
20. Garbage: No garbage or debris left outside unattended. All garbage must be bagged and stowed in the bins located on the property.

In the event that work needs to be done on the property during your stay, we will let you know in advance that a maintenance team member may stop by the property. If no one answers the door, they will have access to the property to service it during normal business hours.
