HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

The following is a list of hotels in the Ogden area. However, Airbnb options may be available in the Eden, UT area.

We have personally walked through each hotel to ensure they are up to our standards and provide enough space for power chairs. Some of the rooms have tubs while others have roll in showers. We will ensure transfer benches are available for those that need them. Guests must cancel reservations by 6pm, FIVE days prior to arrival.

Cancellations after the policy will result in the guest forfeiting the first night’s room and tax.
