French academic family seeking furnished home in Salt Lake City Aug 2026-27

Description

We are a French family preparing for a 12-month academic stay in Salt Lake City, Utah, from August 2026 to August 2027. We are looking for a comfortable, fully furnished 2–3 bedroom home in a quiet and family-friendly neighborhood with easy access to public transportation or a short commute to the University of Utah. I am a physician and researcher, joining the University of Utah on a J-1 research visa. My husband is a geomatics engineer, and we will be relocating with our two children, who will be 6 and 2,5 years old at the time of our stay. We hope to find a welcoming home where our family can settle during our year abroad. In exchange, we offer our family house in Bordeaux, a renovated stone home that we have restored with care. It comfortably hosts our family of four and is located in a peaceful residential area just a few minutes from the historic city center by tram. We are non-smokers, responsible tenants, and will treat any home we stay in with the same care and respect as our own. We are open to both home exchange and long-term rental options. We can provide references, university documentation, and proof of funding if needed, and are flexible with arrival dates (+/– a few weeks). We look forward to connecting with another family or academic household for this meaningful year abroad.
