Comfortable, Well-Provisioned with Outstanding TV Streaming Services

We found Swiss Hut II an ideal property for a week of skiing due to its location and many comforts. The kitchen was fully serviceable in every respect, the beds were ultra comfortable, the multiple streaming services provided endless entertainment and we appreciated the privacy of the neighborhood. 'Happy campers in every respect.

Relaxing

We are a group that have been coming up every year for 30 years. We meet our groups there that ski. Our group has retired the skis and just chill out.

Great place to stay at Powderhorn!

We’ve been renting a place at Powderhorn every year for the last five years. We know the places generally have some old time charm and we love that! We could tell there has been effort to make improvements while still keeping the charm. We really appreciated all the efforts! Thank you for all the ‘extras’ - this place worked perfectly for our family of 4 plus our dog :)
