About this property

Slopeside at Brighton- Cabin across from Chairlift

Important note: 4wd/awd and snow tires or chains are legally required in the canyon during winter months (November - April) to make it safely to the home. This home can accommodate 4 vehicles year-round.

The Slopeside Cabin is the perfect home for your ski or summer mountain vacation! Our lift-adjacent home is located across the street from the Great Western Lift at Brighton Ski Resort. The cabin has a great balance of being very accessible, yet private with mature trees and generous outdoor space. You can ski, hike, and enjoy the majestic scenery right from the front door.

Slopeside has all of the key items on your "must-have" list for a perfect ski vacation! The choice location allows you to quickly run home for lunch or a break and return to the slopes in no time. The close proximity to the ski lifts also affords guests a great view of skiing while relaxing in the living room or on the deck. With 3 bedrooms (6 separate beds- including 1 sofa sleeper) and 2 full bathrooms, Slopeside is an excellent choice for groups of singles as well as 1 or 2 families with kids.

The open and well-equipped kitchen is a wonderful layout for cooking with larger groups. The "chef" can flip pancakes and serve across the bar while taking in the views from the window-lined living room. Both the pool table and ping pong table get equal enjoyment in the course of a weeks' stay and provide hours of entertainment. To top it off, the living room's gas fireplace creates a focal point for those socializing into the late hours of the night.

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: We had a wonderful vacation. The cabin is perfectly located with less than a 5-minute walk to the Great Western lift and an easy ski back in. Great views. I love that the TV is downstairs because we spent most of our time upstairs cooking, playing games, and talking.

Great cabin for a ski vacation
We've stayed in a few properties up at Brighton and this is one of our favorites. It's the closest you can get to the lifts, which was a huge plus for us especially with kids/teens who like to come in and out a lot from the mountain. The cabin itself was super cozy, clean, comfortable, and had great windows so you could take in the views and didn't feel too enclosed. The hosts were incredibly responsive and gracious - you could tell they wanted to make sure we had a great trip.

Home Away From Home
Stop your search, look no further, this is the PERFECT property for your vacation in Brighton! Not enough words to describe this beautiful home - but the key takeaways are: 2 minute walk from lift, perfectly appointed home with full kitchen, laundry, pool table, space for everyone to spread out, cozy, games galore, sound system and AMAZING VIEWS. But, I think what meant the most to me as the organizer was the prompt, gracious and insightful responses I received from the host, Kate Novak. The absolute BEST VRBO experience we have had in our 15 years of travel with a family. We are contemplating a trip for a summer adventure because of the perfect time we had during winter at their HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this house 3 years in a row in the summer and absolutely love it every time. It's very comfortable for our family of 8 and the location is unbelievably beautiful. We love the scenery, the weather, the wildlife sightings, the gorgeous hikes, the disc golf course, the pickleball/basketball courts, and riding the lifts. It's super easy to go into Solitude and enjoy that as well. We love staying here!

Such a gem!
This place really can't be beat. The property is a kid's dream. It's basically the hundred acre wood with a creek running through it. The proximity to Silver Lake and the store was super convenient! We also loved just hanging out inside and playing games. My kids will be begging to go back!

Fantastic in every way!
I can’t say enough! Easy check-in, great communication with the owners who are so kind and responsive, perfect location just walking distance from Great Western (and you can technically ski-in if the road is snowy!). The kitchen has everything you need including spices, storage containers. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 1 child to all hang out upstairs listening to music/cooking/playing games or to all chill downstairs and watch a movie. Ski storage, boot heater for all 7 of us, rack to hang your ski jacket and helmet on so you don’t have to keep it in your room. Plenty of hot water for all of us to shower! Thanks for everything, Kate and Bill! We will be back!

Tremendous location just steps from the Great Western lift! Kate was super helpful leading up to our stay as well as during our time there, great communication and helpful tips to make our stay even more enjoyable. No need to drive anywhere and sit in traffic, Slopeside was the perfect location for our family to enjoy a stress-free week of skiing and being together. Highly recommend!

Why they chose this property

One of the top reasons we LOVE Brighton and our Slopeside Cabin (in the winter / spring) is the SNOW! Brighton Resort averages 500 inches of fluffy, dry, powder snow annually and sits in a perfect position at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Other winter perks are: all terrain is accessible by high speed quads, the largest night-skiing operation in Utah, a top quality and highly rated ski and snowboard school, and extensive backcountry access from the resort. The resort is also steeped in mountain history and culture, as Brighton was the was the first ski resort in Utah.

In the summer and fall, Brighton abounds in majestic mountain scenery, wildflowers (summer), fall foliage (fall), recreational opportunities, and the ideal climate. There are five-star hikes for beginners to experts to numerous mountain lakes and peaks. At Solitude Resort (2 miles down canyon from the Slopeside Cabin) there is also lift-accessed mountain biking, an 18-hole disc golf course, and several other amenities.

Staying at the Slopeside Cabin you can maximize your time enjoying the mountains- either on the hill skiing and snowboarding in the winter or hiking, fishing, and wildflower / wildlife viewing in the summer or fall. You can leave right from the front door and be immediately immersed in the majestic Wasatch mountains- without ever stepping into a vehicle your entire stay. This is WHY we chose BRIGHTON and the SLOPESIDE CABIN!

What makes this property unique

The Slopeside Cabin is a prime vacation choice for its extremely close proximity to Brighton Resort; its private stream-lined backyard (interior of the Brighton Circle); its open kitchen and living area (comfortable cooking and entertaining); its wrap around full windows to soak in the mountain scenery, and all the extras touches it includes (pool / ping-pong table, boot and glove dryer, gear cubbies / hooks, and a gas fireplace).
