Location: Solitude, Utah, USA (Solitude Utah only 40 mins from Salt Lake International AP)
Accommodations: Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)
CREEKSIDE Lodge is closest to the base of the slopes and chairlifts and is Solitude’s ONLY TRUE SKI-IN/SKI OUT lodge from our private ski-locker room door to the ski lifts! CREEKSIDE truly is the “Jewel” of Solitude’s quaint, European-style Alpine Village.
Solitude Mountain Resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon is a four-season vacation destination. At 8,175 feet elevation, Solitude is usually Utah's first resort to open in winter and the last to close its lifts in late spring, due to its long Alpine skiing season November to April. It boasts an average of 500" a year featuring 1200 acres, over 2,000-foot vertical rise and 8 lifts servicing 64 trails. Solitude offers an ideal combination of abundant snowfall, Utah’s famous "Champagne Powder" -- and what all skiers dream of.... NO LIFT LINES!
Our spacious corner condo (i.e., lots of windows and two balconies!) comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests: 2 sizeable bedrooms & 3 private bathrooms (2 with tub/shower combos; the third bathroom has a shower). The large master bedroom has a luxurious pillow-top King bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom has a plush Queen-size bed, twin bunk beds and private bathroom. In our living room, you’ll find a comfortable Queen sleeper sofa (yes, it really is comfortable with an expensive memory foam mattress pad!) and an adjoining full bathroom. Our dining table seats 6 with an additional 3-person countertop seating area. At 1,319 sq. ft., our condo is one of the most spacious 2 bedroom condos offered in Solitude Village.
We've recently added 3 FLAT SCREEN TV'S to our long list of amenities and upgrades: 42" TV in the living room and 32" TV's in both bedrooms!
We are gourmet cooks (OK, at least we THINK we are!), so our kitchen is extraordinarily well-equipped with a large array of everything you need to create culinary favorites. (See KITCHEN -- “Vacation Rental Features”.)
Our condo is ideally situated on the 3rd floor with elevator access, overlooking Solitude’s charming, pedestrian-only Village. We have an excellent panorama of the outdoor ice-skating rink, nightly bonfire, tennis court in summer and the enchanting twinkling lights on the Village trees all night.
At the end of your ski day, enjoy CREEKSIDE’s private Rooftop HOT TUB under the stars and drifting snowflakes - exclusively for guests of CREEKSIDE.
Lift tickets, ski equipment rentals, repairs and ski lesson sign-up are all under the Clocktower, just steps from CREEKSIDE’s front entrance.
WINTER:
Solitude is one of the USA’s top-rated ski resorts offering Alpine & downhill skiing, snowboarding, telemark and X-country skiing -- with its own Nordic Center.
You'll find a very UN-crowded, family-friendly mix of green and blue runs, as well as some surprising black diamond runs. Our favorites are Headwall Forest, Here Be Dragons and Solitude’s well-kept secret - Honeycomb Canyon.
Enjoy all of this - without the lift lines of Alta, Park City, Snowbird and Brighton. If Brighton beckons you, Solitude offers a 2-minute shuttle ride uphill to our Nordic Center - a short walk to Brighton. At day’s end, you can ski back from Brighton to Solitude on the Sol/Bright Trail.
Solitude is a short drive to other local Utah ski resorts such as Alta, Snowbird, Park City, Deer Valley and The Canyons. With our condo as your base, you can experience many great ski areas that Utah has to offer.
SUMMER:
May-October, enjoy our spacious CREEKSIDE condo at a comfortable 80 degrees with blue skies and no humidity! In our Village, you can partake in activities like volleyball, biking, mountain biking, mountain scooters, tennis, Frisbee golf, kids fishing in Solitude Pond, hiking and rock climbing.
Hiking is through the most scenic terrain seen anywhere! Mountain biking is available for the brave-hearted. The adventurous can drive over the Guardsman Pass (closed in winter) to Park City, only 15 minutes away. It's also a shortcut to the best Brown Trout fishing in the Provo River.
Six Golf courses are just a short drive from the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Salt Lake City offers great restaurants, malls and of course, the world famous Genealogy Center.
Other summer sightseeing could include visiting the Great Salt Lake and its buffalo herd north of Salt Lake City; the "Golden Spike" -- where railroads from east & west coasts met in 1869; Kennecott Copper Mine for a tour and Timpanogos Cave Nat’l Monument -- it’s less than an hour drive south.
RESTAURANTS: Our Village has excellent restaurants: "Kimi’s Bistro" (family-style), "St. Bernard’s" (fine dining), and our celebrated "Yurt". It’s an adults-only dining experience deep in the woods you won't forget! (Get resv. when you book!)
Stone Haus offers coffee, breakfast, sandwiches, pizza and the best local creamery "Spotted Dog" ice cream! Stone Haus is especially important when your kids want to eat -- 10 minutes ago!
Legendary among locals is Silverfork Lodge (2 miles down canyon). Call for a free RT ride. Try my favorite: Roasted Duck served with Blackberry Cabernet Reduction.
When it’s time to head home, you'll find your car free of snow, dry and warm (60 degrees) in our secure, underground parking garage.
CREEKSIDE is without a doubt the most desirable property in Solitude, offering everything you could ever want for an enjoyable and memorable vacation -- Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter -- in Utah’s beautiful Wasatch Mountains.

My husband and I, along with another couple, just spent a week in your Utah Condo; Unit 315! WOW. . .it was wonderful; your kitchen is great; everything we needed; so much so, that we cooked in every night! After a full day of skiing; we were too tired to go out to eat! You did a great job in including "everything" a cook would need (thank you!) Your condo is so close to the slopes; great ski lockers and the underground parking was great. We were shocked at so few folks at the resort -- no complaints; we like it that way! Everything was perfect! We had a great vacation! It is our fifth time to Salt Lake for skiing, and, your condo was our VERY BEST place to stay!
Positive Rating
Our first trip “out west” as a family was outstanding! The weather on ski days (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) was perfect. It’s to the point where I cannot keep up with the kids! The condo unit was perfect and our family felt right at home. We must make this an annual family outing. I will definitely be calling you in the future!
Positive Rating
The “Cushy Cow Condo” is awesome! Your kitchen is by far the best equipped. Solitude has always been our favorite mountain and your condo is now our favorite place to stay. There were three generations of our family here -- the two older models in need of repair and the two younger with lots of energy to spare. Thanks for opening your condo to us…..we enjoyed all aspects!

What a wonderful time I had here with 2 of my boys! This was their first ski trip out west and my first to Utah. And it was perfect in every way. Getting 3 feet of snow on the first two days we were here helped too. Forget Deer Valley and Park City. You can’t improve on this!

Super week! This is our second week staying in Creekside and our first in your condo. The condo is very well kept and had all the supplies we could have ever needed. The mountain and snow did not disappoint -- but it never does! The two youngest children (5 & 4) got onto skis and did quite well. The oldest (9) polished his boarding skills nicely. My wife and I did well for our age. Even our Au Pair (from Germany) learned to board! Thanks for letting use your place. We will be in touch about a repeat visit!

We have had a wonderful time and hope to come back! The configuration of the Cushy Cow Condo was wonderful for us. We had a very Merry Christmas and excellent snow and great meals -- with such a well-equipped kitchen. We hope to come back next year!

Thank you so much for our stay at your beautiful condo. We had such a great time. Your view is gorgeous! My daughter and I had a great time hiking and swimming and watching movies. We would love to come to Solitude sometime during the winter too.
Positive Rating
Saying we feel at home in your condo is no exaggeration -- besides its neatness, comfort and the care you have attached to every detail, the poster above the fireplace reminds me of our home in France. Upon arriving, we've been thrilled to find how well thought out and organized your condo is -- from the sled and booster chair we used for our 2-year old to a kitchen equipped far beyond our expectations. We loved our stay here. The snow was fantastic, we never had to wait for the lifts and the slopes were almost ours alone. Thanks again for contributing on making our stay here in Solitude so enjoyable!
Positive Rating
Our third time to Solitude was a "charm"! We've stayed in two other Creekside condos and your condo is our favorite yet! Thank you for providing a full service condo with access to your private laundry! The skiing was amazing with 4 beautiful sunny spring days. We look forward to visiting our new "home-away-from-home" next season. Thanks again!

We loved our week at Solitude. Your condo is very lovely. We really enjoyed the cow motif and our kids loved the bunkroom. We had a great week of skiing and relaxing. Thanx for all of the extra amenities, they were very much appreciated. We will definitely be back to the "Cushy Cow Condo".
