| Alex did a wonderful job of accommodating our 16 family members for an unforgettable summer vacation. His "can-do" attitude, cooking/cleaning, chauffeured SUVs, and concierge services made this a hassle free experience for us. |

Alex was the perfect host. From incredible accomodations to finding the perfect ski resorts (numerous choices in the Salt Lake Area) to his culinary masterpieces - our group is planning on visiting again next year.
As an additional bonus- Alex is extremely talented on the piano. Highly recommend- you can't go wrong with this place. |

What can you say. This was by far the best ski trip that we ever have had. Alex was a great host and Lindsay was the best. They were flawless in every detail. They took
The house was spectacular. Alex took care of 12 guys with no sweat. BTW Alex, how is the thumb?
He will also show you some great lines on the mountains!
We hope to come back next year.

| Our group has been doing an annual ski trip to the West for over 10 years. We have always gone somewhere different so we've experienced a variety of accomodations. I think we all agreed that this trip by far surpassed all the others and what put it over the top was VonSalad. In addition to his gorgeous home, his amazing talent in the kitchen and his incredible ability to host, his personality was second to none. He had us entertained from the time he picked us up at the airport to when he dropped us off. In addition to all this, the pricing could not have been more fair. I cant wait to go back next year. |

| This was a wonderful opportunity to just show up for a vacation and leave the details to a truly talented host tesm of Alex and Lindsey. We thoroughly enjoyed their company as we were traeted to some outstanding culinary delights while being chaffeured around some of the best resorts in the Wasatch Valley. I don't want to say too much more in fear of someone taking our slot ( The MT Glass Ski Club) but what I will say is that our group of 15 people will definitely choose this trip again for 2007. Best deals we have had in 12 years of doing this guys trip! Outstanding |

| Alex was easy to work with and could be counted on for the finer details. Relaxed environment and great help in Lindsey. Chauffeured transportation each day was such a great benefit. Ask the man about his musical background and for some entertainment! |

| I saw previous comment from Jeremy.Has he stopped whining about his ski boots yet?We had a great visit in Feb with 4 adults and 6 kids(all boys).Exceeded every expectation.Stuff you worry about pre-trip(how's the house,is it well located,is transportation easy)are all no-brainers.Everything works.But the intangibles make the trip.Alex is a great host,cook and guy.He had Lindsey with us that week and she was great(All the boys say hi Lindsey).Can't recommend it enough-just don't take our week! |

Our vacation w/Alex and his very capable assistant Lindsey was one
of the most enjoyable that my boys (11 and 14) and I have ever had together. We
spent
five days at the home and to a person in our group the feedback on everything
from the slope-to-house service, apres ski, and the food (awesome!) was
outstanding! Alex and Lindsey were there when we needed them but never "too
present" in our family vacation. Still while maintaining a professional host
position, by the time we left, we all felt that we were leaving new
friends, not temporary landlords, behind!Â
We fully expect to return and visit again!

Alex is the consumate host. The food was customized to our tastes,excellent presentation and plenty of it.
Alex was at the airport on time to pick us all up as arranged.
The house is at the top of a ridge with great views, the photos don't do it justice.
He drove us to ski resorts we selected up to 2 hours away, no problem.
Alex is knowledgable about wines, has great stories and entertained us constantly, but also gave us privacy and family time seemlessly.
The house is kid friendly with many games, darts, air hockey, pool, hot tub, jacuzzi etc.
This property is an excellent family or corporate retreat. The host is fabulous, the service and reliability is flawless.
We hope to return next Spring. |

We had an outstanding stay at this property! Alex is a great guy and his hospitality was superb, and he's not a bad chef either :). The food was awesome!! The snow was awesome! We got to watch Texas whoop up on USC on the big screen high def. TV - who could ask for anything more!?!
We did have some unforseen things pop up, i.e., flight changes for some of our party, etc. and Alex handled all the transportation issues promptly so we didn't have to worry about a thing. There's just something about getting dropped off and picked up curbside at one of the many Ski Resorts, coming back to to an outdoor jacuzzi and having delicious appetizers waiting for you before a delicious meal followed by an awesome dessert. Talk about a vacation!
I definitely would recommend staying here and you will be more than pleased. Bring your appetite!
Thanks again Alex and hope to see you next year!

This is one of the best villas I have ever stayed at. You have everything you need for a great vacation with friends and family.
The villa itself is beautiful and more importantly, Alex (our host/chef) took care of everything for us and that made this trip more fun, because we didn't have anything to deal with except where to ski and what to do that night.
Thanks for a great time Alex. We'll be seeing you soon. |

Great villa with many cool features (i.e. jacuzzi,
games, location, etc.). Great host and chef. I would
highly recommend this property anytime other than
when I'm renting it. |

Our vacation villa was outstanding, and Alex, the proprietor / chef, was one of the more fun, accomodating and wonderful people I've met in a while...
We stayed for a week from Dec 26 2005 to Jan 2nd 2006, but wished we could have been there for a month.
Overall, I'd rate the experience a 10/10 and can say with confidence that we'll be back again!
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an all-inclusive luxury ski vacation.
Farhad.
PS: If you can get Alex to jam adlib blues on the villa piano, that may be worth the price of admission all by itself! "Keep pushin' baby pushin'..." :P |
