Brighton Woods by Cottonwood Lodging (local excellence in hosting)

As one of the few 5-bedroom cabins at Brighton Resort, Brighton Woods is the perfect place for your family's ski or summer getaway!

BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ
From November 1- April 15 please be aware that the Utah Department of Transportation and Town of Brighton rules about canyon travel require snow tires (3PMSF) or chains to make it safely up the canyon and to the home.

- At the request of the neighborhood to ensure that no one gets stuck or lost and disturbs the locals, a staff member will meet you on the main road and guide you to your property. Please plan to check in between 4pm - 8pm at the latest. This will allow us to ensure you make it safely and avoid unplowed roads if it is storming.

Anniversary Magic!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We decided to spend our 10th anniversary here with friends. The house was perfect with ski in ski out access and a ridiculous amount of snow for the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook for a crowd. We loved soaking in the hot tub after skiing powder all day. We would definitely stay here again.

Ski Trip
Home was great for ski trip to Utah Cottonwood Canyons. No major issues. Could use a little minor maintenance with things like loose kitchen faucet, curtain rod in one bathroom not secured well (it fell down) and loose toilet handle. But overall Great home for ski trip! Also, property management communications were prompt and responsive. Thank you. Vasil

Great Ski Lodge!
Great location and space for six adults on a ski trip.Loved the kitchen-dining-living room space, especially.Hard to get closer to the slopes.Property showed some signs of wear, with "dings" and scratches on the walls, and the sink broke while we were there. Reminds me of my own house!

Great stay!
Great stay all around - mgmt company is super responsive and helpful. Great skiing! Easy to walk up the hill and ski into Great Western for an experienced skier (probably slightly harder for a first-timer - but we had 4 year olds do it in light snow). House is great. Main floor floors are slightly cold, but it is cozy and perfect for families.

Ski in ski out for all but novice skiers
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My crew of 8 people had an excellent week staying at the Brighton Woods. Ski in ski out requires some off-piste skiing on mellow terrain which was fine for our crew. With 8 people spread over 5 bedrooms, house was comfortable. Dining table sits 10 people comfortably. Overall a good house that we'll consider renting again.

Great house
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed at this house with 5 other 60+ avid skiers end of February and had a great time. I’m the one who researched and booked the house and am always nervous about whether it will be a good fit for my ski buddy crew and this house did not disappoint. Large connected kitchen and great room which worked out well for preparing breakfast and dinner after a day on the slopes. The guys really enjoyed the hot tub after skiing also. Also, house is ski in ski out so we didn’t have to use our car at all during our stay. Finally, cudos to the property management company who was very responsive before and during our stay.

Large family room and dining area made for easy gathering space and kitchen was stocked with all the basics. Easy access to skiing via Great Western. Utilized the grill and hot tub which we're well maintained and cleared of snow for easy access. Management company communicated clearly with instructions, directions, and other advice.

great location and place
It was fully stocked with everything we needed like paper towel, laundry detergent, plenty of blankets and towels, etc. There was tons of space and it was not close to other cabins. The ski out is a couple minute walk uphill first but we found a path to ski directly in to the cabin. The rental company responded to texts within minutes prior to and during the stay and went out of there way to accommodate us. They mean it when they say 4 wheel drive and winter tires are required or you will for sure get stuck in the driveway since the cabin is a couple minutes of the main road

Brighton Mountain House review
As we made our way through the Canyon up the mountain, we realized this location would be ideal. The road getting to the house is a little sketchy, so make sure your car or truck has snow tires with 4-wheel drive, as it says in the property description. Communication with the property owner and the management company was ideal. The house has everything you need to have a great time. Make sure you stop at one of the grocery stores before traveling up the mountain to the house, as there are limited resources once you get there. There were 8 of us, and the house had plenty of space to accommodate all of us. We had a blast staying here, and it makes it even better when you get great snow during the stay. I recommend this house for those there strictly to enjoy what Brighton and Solitude resorts offer. Overall I highly recommend this property.
