The Reveal
Near LGBTQ+ SceneCozyInsta-WorthyRelaxingCentral location
We have a 100-year-old bungalow close to downtown in the gayest residential neighborhood in the state: The Marmalade in West Capitol Hill. We are 7 blocks from the city center, which is a quick bus ride or a minimum Uber/Lyft charge. An Uber/Lyft to and from the airport is usually about $10-15. Taxi max $25.
This is a basement room with its own en-suite bath, a television with Roku, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more channels, and an electric fireplace. You are also welcome to use the kitchen upstairs. We have a Keurig coffee maker with assorted coffees, teas, and hot chocolate, and a SodaStream with many Torini flavors for Italian sodas. I generally have a bottle of wine open as well, which you can share.
We have a private backyard with a large deck, outdoor shower, pond, grill, firepit, and loungers to sun on.
This is a quiet neighborhood next to a park and a half block to a bus route. There is a bar at the end of the street (formerly a gay bar, now a gay-friendly bar), and a few restaurants nearby. Downtown is one mile.
This is a clothing-optional space inside and out. You are free to be as you are most comfortable, of course. I am a naturist, so I may be sunning on the deck or working in the house au naturel.
I provide all of the amenities a hotel would, including shampoo, conditioner, soap, bottled water, towels, and full-length terrycloth robes. I also have commonly forgotten items, such as razors, earplugs, aspirin, etc. in the medicine cabinet. You will find pillows on your bed ranging from extra soft to extra firm. We also have emulated the "Heavenly Bed" with a great mattress, memory foam topper, and a great mattress topper, covered with high thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. Think Princess and the Pea.
I put out cereals, oatmeal, breakfast bars, apple sauce, bread and jam for toast, bagels, and fruit for breakfast.
I publish Utah's LGBTQ monthly magazine and annual directory, so you will have those available, as well as the latest issue of OUT and Advocate magazines.
A friendly dog and a hidden cat live here as well.

Hey guys! I am truly enjoying hosting with MisterBandB. I mostly love meeting people from around the world and figuring out what we have in common and enjoying how we are different. I've hosted over 300 people, and I've made many long-time friends in the years I've done this.
I am the publisher and editor of QSaltLake Magazine - Utah's LGBTQ+ news and entertainment magazine.
I run Utah Male Naturists and founded qVinum, Salt Lake's LGBT wine-tasting group. I sing with the Salt Lake Men's Choir.
I have a friendly dog, Sumaq, and a cat, Sandy. She's pretty friendly, too, when she wants to be. She often hides.
I work from home and have lived in the area almost all my life. I know the city's LGBTQ, arts, and food scenes extremely well, and I am happy to give advice on what to do.

"Handlebar" — a dog-friendly bicycle bar is a half-block away. Warm Springs Park, restaurants and coffee shops, a library, and convenience stores are within a few blocks. A bicycle shop 2 blocks away often has bicycles for rent. Scooters are everywhere, and a bicycle-sharing program is close by.
Gay Salt Lake: • We have Harvey Milk Blvd with many boutique shops, restaurants, some coffee shops, two gay bars, and an art-film movie theater. My favorite stops are Cahoots - a card, gift, and adult shop, and Coffee Garden right next door. Try-Angles is a long-running neighborhood gay bar, and MILK+ is a new large dance club. • Trolley Square, located in a large old refurbished trolley garage, has the best gay fashion store and another card/gift shop. • The neighborhood I'm in is a gayborhood with many historic homes and a community theater in an old onion-domed church. • Under the Umbrella is a new LGBT bookstore. • We have 3 other gay bars - The SunTrapp is a dive bar with a big patio, Club Verse is a brand new dance club, WhyKiKi is right downtown serving food during the day, dance club at night, drag brunch on the weekends, and my favorite dish: Chicks-n-Dicks (chicken fingers and dick-shaped waffles). All are less than 2 miles away. • 45 minutes away is a nude "beach". I say "beach" because the water of the Great Salt Lake has receded so far, it is now just a flat, sandy area. My naturist group has campouts and day trips there. • Our local contemporary art museum often has a queer art exposition going on. • Our queer swim team allows drop-ins on Tuesday and Thursday nights. • Our queer square-dance group allows drop-ins on their Thursday nights. • In the summer there are a lot of queer sports you can watch, including football, dodgeball, and softball (though the leader of the softball is no longer in town, so not sure if that will happen this year). • There are a ton of drag brunches on weekends and Matrons of Mayhem Bingo at a Baptist Church on the 3rd Friday of the month. • We have a three-story Utah Pride Center, though it is mostly for events and youth drop-in. They do have a self-serve coffee shop where some people hang out. • We no longer have any bathhouses. I miss that, lol. • Other than strictly gay places, there are a ton of places to hike, museums (probably the best natural history museum in the country IMHO), and a huge art scene.

Michael was a fantastic host. He has a wonderful house and I had a great time. It's a quiet neighbourhood but quick and easy to get into the city center.

Michael knows how to host guests: He's welcoming, helpful about local things to do, friendly, and Michael has created a casual, comfortable space. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom are private and relaxing. Michael is a naturist and my husband and I felt completely at ease spending our time free of clothing and inhibitions. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning.

I just wrapped up a weekend stay and I'm still smiling about it. From the moment I arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely comfortable, like staying with a good friend rather than a stranger. The host was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, full of great local tips, and clearly took real pride in making guests feel at ease. It made such a difference. The location was a total win, perfectly situated to explore Salt Lake City, whether you're checking out the landmarks, hitting the restaurants, or doing some light hiking. Everything felt accessible and easy. As for the space itself: cozy, clean, and thoughtfully put together. Very unique. All the little comforts were there, you could tell real care went into making it feel like a home and not just a rental. Slept great my entire stay.

Really happy with our stay! You get the whole lower level of the house pretty much. The backyard is a great place to relax and be yourself. Michael is super pleasant, easy going, and creates a great sense of community. Would totally book again for a SLC trip.

Michael was a wonderful host! Very communicative from start to finish. The place was very inviting and made me feel like home away from home. The daily continental breakfast was a nice personal touch each morning. You can't beat the location. Close to trails, shops/restaurants, and downtown SLC. There's no question where to stay on my next visit to town!!!

I recently spent a few days at Michael's place while visiting Salt Lake City. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Michael was an excellent host. The accommodation contained everything you would need for a comfortable stay and is very relaxing particularly in the garden area. The weather was beautiful and I had a great stay

I absolutely LOVED my stay at EDUN. Michael is a wonderful host and staying at his place was one of the best parts of my trip. I loved my room, absolutely LOVED the hot tub and enjoyed catching up on my Netflix and YouTube shows in the room when I was unwinding. It did not feel like I was merely staying at a lodging but more like staying with a friend. He even drove me to the grocery store. Thanks Michael for an amazing stay!!!! =)
