We had a great time at Ralph's Solitude condo. His
instructions were perfect and service outstanding.
We stayed there after Solitude season had finished
(mid April), but skied at Brighton - 1 mile up the
road, which was still convenient. The condo was
very well set up - both in terms of functionality and
quality. It was very relaxing to jump in the heated
pool and HOT tub next door at Club Solitude at the
end of a days' skiing. There was also a computer,
cinema and pool table to keep the kids extremely
happy. Our only regret is that we didn't get to enjoy
what I imagine would be a nice village atmosphere
in Solitude (as the shops were closed except for the
general store at Club Solitude) and ski the Solitude
slopes. We will definitely try to come back again.
We love skiing in Cottonwood Canyon for another
reason as well - we can be at a NBA game in 45
minutes door to door! Does life get any better? |

I had a wonderful experience skiing at Solitude. Tons of snow, beautiful lodge. Ralph and Cathy were so helpful and made the whole experience so easy.
Ralph was right there to help me when the snow storm hit for me to get my sister to the lodge. Awesome Vacation |

| Powderhorn 211 is a comfortable condo that's easy to relax in while you are staying at Solitude. Not only is the condo great, but so are Ralph and Cathy! They gave us a plethora of information to help us along, as well as great insider tips. In addition, Solitude is one of the greatest mtns to ski in Utah with a variety of terrain (even enough to scare the cliff-jumping backcountry lunatics that accompanied us). We will definitely be back!! |

| We just returned from our February trip to Solitude. Our condo was located in Powderhorn which is very convenient and centrally located. The owners were a pleasure to work with and we really enjoyed our stay. The two bedroom layout worked very well for our family. |

We've rented many properties in many locations through VRBO over the years, and Ralph and Cathy set the standard for other owners to strive for! Both were very
professional and kind to deal with, and provided abundant information about the area and the property itself. They also forwarded plenty of "local knowledge"
including shopping tips, weather links, maps and lift ticket discounts. Most importantly - the condo is very nice, in a great location, with all the comforts of home.
It truly lives up to the description on the listing and their own website.
Solitude is a great family ski destination with so much to offer both on and off the mountain. We enjoyed skiing the blue runs and trails through the trees with the
kids, and found more challenging terrain for ourselves while they were happily entertained in the great ski school. We can't wait to go back!

| We just came back from a February trip to Ralph's condo. We had a great time!! We were the max number of guests, but everyone fit comfortably. Solitude is a fun area, with plenty for the experts and beginners in our group. The lodge is VERY nice, and we loved Club Solitude!! The village is pretty quiet, but we had brought enough food for all our meals so that was not a problem. Thank you!! We'll be back. |

This was our 2nd vacation at Ralph's condo. We had a
great time and would like to return. Ralph is very easy
to work with and does everything possible to make the
rental experience positive. The skiing was great. We
made friends with "Subi" the avalanche rescue dog and
learned the secret of purchasing wine! |

Ralph, Thanks for the great accommodations. Very
comfortable with a nice view of the mountain. The
resort was great. The ski rental and ticket office on
premise were friendly and convenient. The
restaurants were very nice. The snow and skiing
were great. Everything was just as you had said. It
was nice to have underground parking because it
snowed almost 4 feet while we were there. The ski
locker is nice and the jacuzzi was a fun after-ski
treat. We would love to do it again sometime.
Thank you very much. |

Thanks Ralph for a great family ski vacation. We found getting around Solitude to be so easy! We had a week of great snow and we kept our skis in the downstairs locker for easy ski out access in the mornings.
We loved having a second bedroom for the kids, with their own TV and they loved having their own beds to sleep in. We ate in most nights and found everything we needed for making dinner in the kitchen. Club Solitude was a treat for all of us when we were finished skiing for the day.
Thank you,

We a great visit to Solitude recently and the accommodations played a big part in the overall experience. Ralph and Cathy's condo has a terrific location for the ski-in / out setting.
The condo has a great view of the Village and of the mountain. The condo is located adjacent to the elevator and laundry facilities making the "behind the scenes" activities very convenient.
The condo itself is very well maintained and has the benefits of a wireless network, well supplied kitchen, and comfortable bedding. I must say the fold-out sofas are very comforatble, not like the typical backbreakers!
I would highly recommend this condo (and Solitude) as a great family/group getaway! |

| This is the fourth year we/ve stayed at Solitude for our school's ski week in February. Ralph's 2BR condo is as nice as any we've stayed at in Solitude. An extra bonus with Ralph's unit is that you have TWO sofa bed's since one of the bedrooms is a "lock-out" unit with a King bed and sleeper sofa. This let us have our three kids sleep in the second bedroom leaving the family room open for the early risers to use when they get up in the morning. Solitude is simply the BEST resort we've ever visited for a family ski vacation! |

| Just returned from our family ski trip to Solitude. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Powderhorn 211. Mr. Greenawald was a pleasure to deal with. We found the unit to be exceptionally clean and the location was perfect. We'll certainly try to stay there again on our next visit. |

| My girlfriends and I had such a wonderful time at Solitude, in large part because we stayed at the Greenawald's condo. The condo was warm and inviting, spacious, VERY clean, and a short walk to the lifts. Ralph Greenawald was the most gracious host. |

This condo is great! Extremely convenient to all the Village amenities. Very nicely appointed, including built-in WiFi access. The beds are comfortable, including the pull out sofas. The condo is convenient just off the elevator which leads to the parking garage or the lobby. The lobby ski locker is very easy to access, and the ski rental office is attached to the building just a few yards walk. Truly ski in, ski out. We highly recommend!

| Ralph's condo in the Powderhorn Lodge was perfect for our family vacation to see some snow and ski. Our family of 5 fit well with beds for all. The location is great with the balcony overlooking the ice rink including a view of the slopes. I would also recommend a meal at the Silver Fork Lodge, just a couple of miles down the mountain from Solitude. To top it all off the skiing was great. |

| This condo was lovely, and extremely convenient to the Solitude village and slopes. Every time we vacation somewhere other than Utah for skiing we wish we'd just come back to this state's terrific snow and great resorts! My two kids snowboard, and they were in heaven skiing Solitude & Brighton for four days. Conditions couldn't have been better, and Solitude is always relaxing and quiet. |

We had a wonderful stay here at the Powderhorn Lodge! It snowed the whole time which made it that much nicer. The condo was perfect, it had everything we needed and much more. The kitchen was fully stocked and VERY clean, which is always a plus. Thanks Ralph and Cathy, we'll be back! |

Thank you very much. My family enjoyed staying in your vacation home. We
received a nice snowfall when there which added a nice touch for the
holiday. Overall, we liked your home very much. It was very clean and nicely
furnished. Solitude has developed a terrific village that has a lot of
appeal. I found your instructions very easy to follow. They were clear and
concise. Well done. We easily found the building, the keys, the garage,
the luggage trolleys and the room. The wireless internet access was a
real plus for me and was seamless to connect to.
