We loved staying in this condo! All of the necessary information was given to us in advance, making an evening arrival no problem at all. The condo is simply furnished, comfortable and clean. The building was quiet, well-maintained, etc. Skiing at Solitude couldn't be easier - rentals (if you need them) are right outside the door, short walk to the slopes, and a super chill atmosphere on the mountain. Our only complaint was that there wasn't much snow - but nothing could be done about that!

Can't say enough good things about Ken and Dawn (the owners), and all the great recommendations they made to us. This was our first trip to Utah, but it won't be our last. Before our trip we had lots of questions, Ken and Dawn gave us great advice and recommendations about transportation to and from SLC airport, grocery services, and places to eat. The condo was great for our family - two parents and three teenagers. We loved the ski in - ski out, the spa at Solitude, the great view. We had a terrific vacation, and look forward to a return trip!

We had a wonderful experience renting and staying at this property. Making and booking a reservation over the internet was clear, fast and easy. The owners (Ken and Dawn) were friendly, professional and flexible. They sent us some very descriptive e-mails prior to our stay; they offered a service we greatly appreciated which allowed us to preorder discounted lift tickets, which were waiting in our condo on arrival; as no one had rented the unit after us, we were allowed a late check out, which allowed for a full day of skiing the last day as well as a shower before catching our plane; when I locked the keys in the unit after checking out and realized I left something there, Ken showed up in a few minutes to let us back in. Additionally, the unit has great views, is quiet and is very well located. We had a great time here and would highly recommend it.

Excellent accomodations...the view of the mountain (made possible by being on the fifth floor) was so exciting to our girls to see every morning...I liked the privacy of facing the back of the lodge. Club Solitude (pool, hottub, foosball, etc) was a big hit, and only 20 yards away from front door. The Margherita pizza at the piza place 20 yards from front door was amazing...small taste better than large (better crust on the smalls). Shopped at super Target on the way up, and went back down to Reams mid week for groceries...local 'stores' had just the basic foods, milk and juice for a very steep price ($3 for 1/2 gallon of milk, $1-2 for pint of OJ...we go thru a gallon of milk/day). We had gotten a 4WD from Rugged Rental, and were very glad we did as it snowed 2 days out of 6, and also went showshoeing after taking an icy road up the mountain across from Solitude.The beds were comfortable, with lots of pillows and blankets. The TV/DVD was met with rave reviews from our girls, the storage of skis downstairs in locker really made it easy to get on to the slopes before the rest of the crowds made it over to the village and the Summit (nice to be the first down after ski patrol after a fresh snow from the summit)...We were not used to the dry air, so sleep was difficult until we got a humidifier, then much better. The internet connection is around 1.5 MB/sec (much less than cable modem at home, but fine for streaming NCAA bball games in High def)...they have ability to hardwire, and hooked up with no problems (they have a router on site with at least 3 ports...i brought my own cat 5 cables to plug in my laptops)We were very very happy with the accomodations...thanks for a wonderful stay.

The condo was wonderful. The views from the condo were amazing! Everything was perfect, clean and a great complement to our ski trip. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us and the beds were very comfortable. I am actually going to refer you to friends of mine that are trying to decide on where to stay for their ski trip this season. Thank you for use of your wonderful condo. Hopefully we will be able to make it out again next year. -Mary and company.

2/20 - 2/25/08 Loved the skiing and the incredible views from the room... Awesome to see the lifts in the morning & hear the avalanche control blasting!! The teenagers in the group loved the emptiness of Honeycomb Canyon & the views on the other side. Best of all ... no wait at the lifts -- we never get that on a weekend on the East coast. We love Utah skiing!! Dan, Christine, Daniel Boylan Patrick Glier Long Island, New York & Vermont skiiers

Transcribed to web from in-home guest book with permission of the guests: January 8, 2009 The Kubota Family From: Hilo, Hawaii The slope was beautiful, especially on our last day. There was so much snow. Our family loves to ski + snowboard so the experience was GREAT! The condo was perfect. It had everything. The fireplace was so warm and cozy. We all loved to sit by the fireplace and read. the beds + pillows were SO soft. Christopher tried to make a snowball with the snow on the balcony. In the end, the snowball was as heavy as 40 pounds and Chris could barely push it. Chris and his father both loved the pool and jacuzzi. It was a great time here. We are SO coming back. The Kubotas

Powderhorn 507/507A was a delightful condo. The unit is extremely well maintained and beautifully appointed. The kitchen is well equipped and we enjoyed fixing meals there. What a lovely view. If we were to make a return visit I would see if this unit were available. Thank you for a wonderful respite!

December 27, 2008 From: The Haver Family of TN and MA We spent a magical Christmas week here at your condo. As a family with 3 college age kids, it is amazing that the facilities suited everyone's need --- not only outside but inside the condo and facilities. The snow was simply "awesome", the facility at the ski shop gracious, the condo staff, when we needed another blanket, kindly accommodating -- and this location being so close to so many ski resorts makes it wonderfully convenient! Know that it was everything it was advertised to be on the internet. We will be back -- Thank you. The Haver Family Gary, Terri, Jessi, Brad & Brittany P.S. The Albertsons grocery delivery service saved so much time and money. Thanks for the suggestion.

Transcribed to web from in-home guest book with permission of the guests: We arrived 5 nights ago. We were gifted with 26 inches of pure powder during our stay. Our children Kirsten, 10 and Jasen 8 1/2, enjoyed their very first snow! And we all learned how to snowboard. The mountain is amazing but the staff makes this the best school for learning to snowboard. Powderhorn 507 condo was just perfect for our family. It was nice to cook a healthy meal and just relax with the family. Thank you Warren & Janna Florida

Transcribed to web from in-home guest book with permission of the guests: Thank you for a fantastic get-away! While watching the news from Atlanta GA we saw there was a storm heading for Solitude -- in last minute haste we booked a ticket and we were on our way! It has not stopped snowing since we arrived giving us the much coveted POWDER that we craved! What a lovely trip we had. Thank you Dawn & Ken - we will be back! Marc & Samantha Atlanta, GA
