Wow! What a blessing to find your condo on www.myvacationhome.com. We have
had a great week of skiing and hanging out. The hot tub was a great success,
location to the lift awesome, music and movies a plus! All that you offer here
makes for a perfect vacation.

Park City grows on you! It’s 20 degrees warmer than normal (made skiing
almost non-existent) until our last day when it snowed huge flakes at least 2
inches in diameter. What a spectacular last day. Our favorite restaurants were
Chamayo and Wahso. The snowshoeing tour was fantastic, and I must not forget the
yurt on top of the canyon. We sat with newlyweds from our hometown
(coincidence)! Condo great! Good luck with it all.

Well, it’s the last night of our two-week stay and we have
enjoyed every second. Corinne (8) is skiing with us now and Carley (4) has made
remarkable progress and we have skied with her as well. Your condo is
magnificent and we will be back!

Thank you so much for letting us stay here. The condo is
beautiful. The pool table is very nice and fun. It only snowed for two days. My
brother and I built a really cool fort and had snowball fights, and went into
the hot tub. It was a blast! P.S. We are from Naples, Florida and my mom loves
the cookware.

Over 6 feet of snow for Christmas – 37 inches in past 2 hours! In fact,
there is too much - all resorts had only limited lifts open (3 at Park City)
due to wind and avalanche risks. It’s a good thing we have such a comfortable
home to relax in. This place is great. Steve has really great attention to
detail – the videos, CD’s, pool table, computer, etc. The Caledonian is such a
great location we are considering buying a unit. Restaurant recommendations:
Prime Steakhouse (across the street), great beer and music, great steaks;
Riverhorse Café (lamb and halibut and French onion soup); Zona Rosa (Mexican);
and all are on Main Street and an easy walk from the condo. Go to Bad Ass Coffee
(half a block up Park Avenue from the condo) for morning coffee and paper;
Davanzar for pizza, Philly Cheese Steaks, etc. (they deliver);
and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for caramel apples (try apple pie flavor) –
the latter two suggestions are from our children. It looks like USC will be
national champs – what a great day! Happy New Year 2004 to the Barsh family and
all of you.

We wish you a most “Happy New Year”, 2004! Our 2003 Christmas vacation was
indeed a fairytale Winter Wonderland! Our fantasy week began with our driver
greeting us at Salt Lake City airport, complete with a huge name card, friendly
personality, and a narrated drive at night to the Caledonian. Needless to say,
the driver knew many folks that he had escorted to your condo! Some quite well
known personalities apparently have stayed here. Before dropping us in the
lobby, he took us to Albertson’s grocery store, a lifesaver. Our cupboard was
well-stocked with “our essentials”, plus the first night we bought “take-home
sushi.” Life is good! Ski: Sunday-Monday: Six-hour ski lessons at
Park City Mountain Resort, lunch on the mountain was fun. The Jacuzzi certainly
came in handy, p.m.! Ski theatre: Nephew Ian had another 6-hour
“Team Escape” on Deer Valley trails, instructor was great. Dinner at Wahso was
elegant, followed by “Oliver” at the Egyptian theatre. Bed felt wonderful this
night (knee pain). Hot Air Ballooning: Tuesday. A day of rest
from skiing, high above the valley with the “Morning Star Balloon Company”, we
watched the morning awaken the city below. Ski trails looked so peaceful and
beautiful, we could see three different resorts. A champagne toast completed our
maiden voyage, the hot-air ballooning experience was fabulous. Snowmobile:
40 miles: Wednesday, we elected to check out an “all-day”
snowmobile tour of another city. Fabulous scenery, great sandwiches in the high
mountains, and we even explored a creek with beautiful trout everywhere! Six men
pulled my snowmobile out of a sinkhole – I apparently did something wrong, with
nephew Ian (sorry Ian) right behind me. Life is beautiful, as are the two moose
we saw. Trails were very bumpy, but easily negotiated if one follows the trail
guide! We had a lovely dinner back at
Burgies vegetarian
style, Life is good. Main Street: We had one-on-one instruction
all day. Did I mention the Tuesday night mountain massage? It worked wonders on
my joints and muscles. Thursday was pain free. We skied 5 hours prime time
today, but came home early to prepare for our sleigh ride with dinner.
Sleigh Ride Dinner: Ian loved the Belgium horses – such sturdy
creatures, and each person had the opportunity to have photos taken. Dinner was
entertaining – trout special: excellent! Ian drove the “rig” back to Payday Lift
after dinner. What a memorable evening. Snow fell heavily as a new storm moved
in. We hear there will be 10 inches of new powder by Friday morning. Ski
again: All day “team escape” for Ian – he’s advanced to a few blue runs
this week. Safety is our main concern – instructors daily reinforced this number
one rule – have respect for others and yourself! Saturday: luggage stuffed,
gifts squeezed in, driver waiting. See you again, Thank you.

We have been here three days so far and have two days left. We are very happy
with our choice of condos. The décor, hot tub, office with wireless networking
and DSL, pool table, and two posh master bedrooms with their own TVs were all
enjoyed by our family (5 children, age 1-13, and 2 adults). We have also enjoyed
the privacy of our balconies – although during ski season the lift would be full
of people and it wouldn’t be away from the hustle and bustle. The buildings and
walkways around the condo are lovely with their fall colors. There are several
restaurants within walking distance from the condo that are open in the “off”
season – we enjoyed La Casita (Mexican) and the Flying Sumo (sushi). There are
many more restaurants a short drive away. We enjoyed The Eating Establishment.
All three restaurants had great food. They were all pretty casual in atmosphere.
We enjoyed eating outside at La Casita and the kids had fun playing with the
giant chess set right next to it. Communicating with Steve has been extremely
informative as he knows his condo very well! We live in Utah and thought it
would be fun to go somewhere close (just an hour away, and hang out and relax
with our family somewhere with a hot tub and lots of good restaurants. It’s been
a blast, we’re glad we came. We also like the security of knowing no one can
gain access to our own condo floor without a key card. The patio locks are also
great for keeping kids out of the hot tub when you need to – they’re European
style. Tonight we ate at Riverhorse Café – our first high class restaurant we’ve
tried here – it was exquisite, thanks to the guest book for the suggestion.
Check out the Park City newspaper ($0.50) for 2-for1 dinners during the off
season! It’s available in newspaper stands all over the city. The private office
really saved us as my husband unexpectedly had to spend a full day in conference
calls, and couldn’t be interrupted by the kids. The headset (phone) was very
handy. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We’re so glad we found your place.

Thank you for the use of your condo. We have never been to Park City and

Your condo is very comfortable and relaxing with every amenity needed.
We'll definitely be back. P.S. Tammara at the front desk was great! And we

We had a fabulous week and we hate to leave. This location is
so incredible -- nothing like walking out your door to get on the lift! The
condo was enjoyable to "settle in" when we weren't skiing. We skied Park City,
The Canyons, and flew down those fast cruisers at Deer Valley. Look
forward to coming back to the Caledonian. Thank you.

It's hard to beat the lover's reunion after 29 years... but
we had a great time. The condo is very comfortable. Our 5 year old
son liked your video selection, especially "Chicken Run." We had a great dinner
at the Prime Steak House and tonight we're looking forward to dinner at River
Horse Cafe. We skied Deer Valley and Park City -- both were great! The
lift from town is a riot -- but not for those scared of heights. Tammara at the
from desk took great care of us including arranging Francis to baby-sit.
Francis was wonderful -- very nice! Hope all goes well for Sundance Film
Festival 2003. P.S. The stereo system and CD selection were first rate!

Your beautiful condo was the perfect setting for our "chick
trip." Four girlfriends met for a reunion and had a blast! We highly
recommend the downhill mountain biking via either Guardsman's Pass or Deer
Valley lifts. The horseback riding at The Canyons was also worthwhile.
For a fabulous spa day, we went to La Vie (reasonable prices, good service).
Thai Bangkok on Main Street was amazing. The No Name Pub is a fun local
hangout. Your condo is very user-friendly and has the perfect amenities.
We made great use of the hot tub and pool table. I've stayed at The
Caledonian before and I am never disappointed!

What a wonderful condo. We thoroughly enjoyed all the
amenities, huge beds, wonderful views, and great kids movies saved us. The
hot tub was a favorite spot -- we used it morning and night. The kids
loved it. We had a huge dumping of snow the last two days which made it
even more special to us and the kids as we don't get snow like this in New
Orleans. We are all a little depressed having to leave -- we weren't here
long enough. Your condo location is perfect. We will definitely try
to return in the near future. Housekeeping also did a wonderful job.
Very thorough! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful place. We
loved it! (P.S. Lakota had great food.)

Happy New Year! Our trip this year has been the fastest one yet! See
every year or so we take our whole clan and go on vacation over Christmas or New
Year's. We have a big family of 26 people. And your condo (just one
that we rented in The Caledonian for this trip) for sure was the best place to
be! The pool table has kept us entertained late into the night. This
is the nicest place we have stayed ever while on our annual vacation! In
the past we have been to Squaw Valley and have gone on the Disney Cruise.
We have had so much fun skiing and snowboarding. And, our new favorite,
snowmobiling. We suggest it to anyone who is up for a wild ride. All
of us are from California so it's such a nice change to go to the snow.
Thanks for all the great times! P.S. This is an awesome place at New
Year's! P.P.S. We hope to be back! Thanks again!

Fantastic location for me! Rented a good mountain bike from the nice guys
at White Pine Touring across the street and then went off towards Tour Des
Suds. Met a local (Chip) along the way and tagged along (he was a much
stronger rider) on one of the best mountain bike rides of my life -- grinding up
Guardsman's Pass and back on some sweet single track: Des Suds, TG, TG 2,
Bedsprings and other trails known only to Chip and the locals. (I owe Chip
as he was so generous with his time, knowledge of the area, and pleasant
company!) Every vacation must sometimes be interrupted by work. The
discrete and functional executive home office in the condo with fantastic
computer connections made all the difference! Great location and great
condo! The best! Thank you!

I hate to leave here today, but... We loved being in Park City (our first time
here) and absolutely loved this condo; it couldn't be nicer! It's
beautiful, and the location is perfect -- great access to the restaurants and of
course after all the food, a morning jog up Sweeny Switchback was perfect.
My favorite dinner was at Riverhorse Cafe, but it's easy to find a good meal
here. Thanks for sharing your vacation home with us!

Amber had a great massage at Vie Retreat (down the street on Park Avenue).
If you like deep tissue massages, ask for Emily -- it was the best she has
had. We took the 3 hour Heber Valley Railroad ride. It was a
beautiful day and we really enjoyed the trip, especially the views of Deer Creek
reservoir (we were mooned by a boater!). However, we would probably
recommend the hour and a half trip -- check on what parts you get to see.
A real highlight was the Utah Symphony at Deer Valley Resort -- an outdoor
concert. We brought our dinner and got there early to get a good seat on
the lawn. Also, we hiked the Sweeny Switchbacks. It was really nice
and you can pick it up right outside the door!

A Poem
We transferred to Provo 3 months ago;
We came from a great town... Dublin, Ohio.
Our children were coming from way back east;
To share in a wonderful Thanksgiving feast.
Provo has some nice things to see;
But Park City is the place to be.
So we packed up the car and drove for a while;
When we opened the door to your condo... we smiled!
No snow in the mountains had made us feel blue;
Your home did offer us other things to do.
The pool table, games, & movies were great;
Your 7 person Jacuzzi had us up very late.
We're all heading home to our own little beds;
With memories of our weekend still in our heads.
We'll remember this weekend for a very long time;
Hope you enjoyed our short little rhyme.
Best wishes!
P.S. Horseback riding highly recommended! (Rocking Ranch in Oakley)

We really enjoyed staying in your lovely condo. We stayed in another unit
at The Caledonian last year, and before we left we looked at other units and
picked yours out before we left. We were pleasantly surprised when we
arrived and found it even better equipped than the year before. We brought
another couple and they were equally impressed. We loved having two
practically identical "master" suites. We come here to visit our
many friends who make their summer home here to play golf. Having a lovely
place to come "home" to just added to our wonderful week.

above Provo, Silver Lake at Solitude, and the Deer Valley Chairlift. The
