Humans thrive when we have frequent exposure to nature.

A little fresh air is good for your health, or so the saying goes. Culturally, the association of fresh air with healthiness dates back centuries. The Japanese have defined it as Forest Bathing (or shinrin-yoku).

Forest bathing and forest therapy broadly means taking in all of one's senses and the forest atmosphere. Not simply a walk in the woods, it is the conscious and contemplative practice of being immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of the forest.

Whether it's by the sea or in the mountains, in the desert or the forest, research states that spending time outside in wild space comes with both psychological and physiological benefits.

This is your chance to boost your health and wellbeing at Solitude.

 
 
 

Gather Here

Built in 1995, the Solace at Solitude invites you to relax. Enjoy the grounding effects of natural stone throughout, the expansive feeling engendered under vaulted ceilings, and the blissful energy from ample sunlight.

An open and spacious floor plan allows you to get comfortable and invite community in. Tastefully updated, the space beckons you to infuse it with your own style and essence.

From the kitchen, gaze out into the village and enjoy views of the clock tower reminiscent of old Europe. Enjoy induction cooking and stainless steel efficient appliances while saving energy.

Radiant heating in the master bathroom is easy on the feet. Indulge in the spa-like shower and steam room regardless of the season. Two doors down the hall you also have the Creekside hot tub for your pre and post-adventure restoration.

Being this close to adventure means storage needs are real! From skis to snowboards, hiking boots and backpacks, long johns and jackets you’re sure to be covered here. Store away!

Memory Making

With 2 extra bedrooms spread out or invite in. Designed with that in mind, this place is meant to bring people together both in the privacy of your own home but also in all the common spaces.

Share passions and stories and make lasting memories at the five (5) restaurants on site (check out the village map):

  • Honeycomb Grill: On the main floor of Creekside (same building) this contemporary cuisine features fresh, locally sourced, and sustainable ingredients. There’s plenty of vegan and vegetarian options too.

  • The Yurt: One of the most unique dining experiences in Utah! Starting off with a guided snowshoe tour through a moonlit forest, you’ll dine within a Mongolian yurt where talented chefs prepare an elaborate five-course dinner.

  • St. Bernards: Within the Inn (neighboring building to the east of Creekside) Alpine-inspired comfort foods from the most famous ski regions in the world. Think hearty stews, Alaskan salmon, warm, melty cheeses — and even a little flavor from Japan.

  • Thirsty Squirrel: Après destination for drinks and apps.

  • Stone Haus: Conveniently located in the heart of Solitude Village (right outside the front doors to Creekside), Stone Haus offers grab-and-go salads, pizzas, and tasty sandwiches.
