About this property

Ski in PARADISE in the Winter! Perfect Family Getaway Cabin in the Summer!

Location,Luxury,and Location. This cabin has just finished a complete 250k remodel and under new ownership. Owner David Musselman is sparing no expense to create an experience that will certainly make this one of the most popular ski in ski out cabins in the west.

The theme of this cabin is an old miners shack combined with a ski bum element. There is a combination of metals and wood that make this unique. The bathrooms are designed to look like an old mine shaft and the living areas will make you feel that you are a teenager again with all of the ski and snowboard deco.

Large comfortable leather couches will be in both TV family rooms and of course there will be premium surround sound theater in both family rooms and the master bedroom.

The kitchen cabinets have been custom designed by the owners as are all of the light fixtures in the cabin.

For those of you that want a ski in experience, you will be able to ski directly to the front door off the great western ski run. This is a black diamond run. You can also take advantage of the free shuttle which picks up directly in front of the cabin about every 10 to 15 minutes and will take you directly to the main resort. At the end of the day you can climb back onto the free shuttle, and it will drop you off in front of the cabin. This is great for parents that want to let their kids just go have freedom and ski without the hassle of getting them to the lift.
If you want to spoil yourself with one of the most charming cabins on the hill to make your ski trip perfect then you will not be let down.

Winter or Summer...Its the perfect cabin!

A WORD TO OUR GUESTS: PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
The next few paragraphs are for the 5% of the guests we have that do not understand the difference between a VRBO property and staying at a Marriot. If you have ever asked for refunds from VRBO owners for any reason please read below.

THIS cabin gets a considerable amount of use. Especially during the ski season. It is a very popular cabin for larger groups and families.

The winter months particularly with this kind of heavy usage, cause a considerable amount of wear and tear.

The reason this cabin is so popular is because of its charm and decorations, and attention to detail.

THIS IS NOT A COOKIE CUTTER, VACATION RENTAL PROPERTY.

This is our family cabin, which includes some of our family treasures and family artwork for you to enjoy. That’s what makes it so special.

We love to share the amazing skiing opportunities, combined with the rustic luxury that this cabin provides. It will be unlike any other cabin that you stay at.

Because of its popularity and significant usage during the ski season do not expect to be checking into a brand new “white glove Marriott clean”property. We do our best with professional cleaners to have it ready for you when your party arrives but there might be some stains on the carpet, there might be some dust on a ceiling fan blade, there might be some chips in the coffee mugs or the batteries might be dead in one of the remote controls for the TV. In other words, we want to make sure that there are realistic expectations about reserving this beautiful Cabin.

We will always do our best, and take the feedback from each guest during their stay serious, and attempt to keep up with keeping everything up to a very high standard but if you are expecting a level of newness or cleanliness that you would see in a five-star hotel, then you might be happier with staying in a five star hotel.

SOME POSSIBLE THINGS TO PLAN ON:
1. You are in the mountains with lots of wildlife. You might get a visit from a mouse in the house or various bugs. We are vigilant about pest control but control is a relative word.
2. Sometimes lightbulbs burn out. We normally keep some extras.
3. The cabin has some great amenities such as the SAUNA and Hot tub with are functional 95% of the time with professional maintenance. But parts unexpectedly go bad or in the case of the 2023 winter the hot tub deck was crushed by snow.

We will try to inform you if certain things that are shown as part of the package are not working in advance of your stay. Any of the above items do NOT constitute a reason for a refund and on a case by case basis we will work with the guests to find a way to make it right if an item is not available such as the hot tub.

If you are wanting to have an unforgettable amazing experience and can see the value in trading amazing fit and finish and charm and detail for a frying pan that has some scratches in it then this is your place!

Should you choose to select our cabin for your vacation or event, we look forward to meeting you and helping you have the most amazing time ever!

See you on the hill!

The Musselman’s




SECOND NOTE to
Guests:

The lower level single bedroom portion of the cabin, which is a separate unit that is normally usable as part of the cabin may not be available for the following dates and the price has been adjusted accordingly: May 1 through November 15th. Dec 27- Jan 3. 2026. We will make considerations of usage on a case by case basis. If you have a party of 10 or less you will be very comfortable using the main portion of the cabin and still have access to the hot tub etc. Exceptions will be handled on a case by case request.

Great Ski house
We were 2 families, 4 adults. 4 kids, for a few days of skiing at Brighton. This was the perfect base, just a very short shuttle ride from the main lodge/base.Enough room for everyone to feel comfortable.Great kitchen for cooking breakfasts and dinners.David was very helpful with any questions that we had.

Great location, comfortable beds, responsive host
David, the owner, was a great and very responsive host. The house itself was great for our needs. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms were super nice, and the Sonos stereo system was amazing! A few glitches here and there (hot tub cover pulley system broke and about knocked my DIL to the ground, seat fell off stool and my husband hit the ground hard) but our overall stay was great. I will say that I would not recommend this house for small children, too many cool features that are hazards IMO. My grands were 4 and 6, but I would not want younger children staying there. Lots of QR codes with great instructions, but needs to update the video for use of the hot tub cover. It was a totally different system that what we had. Again, David was incredibly responsive and for that I am thankful. Location would be hard to beat in relation to the resort and shuttle stop.

Ski in Paradise Brighton
Ski in Paradise was a unique stay! Cleanliness of the home was biggest disappointment. I know that is prefaced in the description, but it was not at an acceptable level of cleanliness. Host is very nice. Layout is cool, but not ideal for our family vaca. Beds comfortable, but lower level could use dresser vs dusty book shelf, oven on main floor filthy, doorway with tarp dangerous/slippery, door lock broken, not fixed before our stay. Great place for ski/snowboarding better suited for bachelors vs families. More than a minute walk to Brighton, but easily done (just a note on the time for planning purposes). Hot tub is located in awkward spot (have to walk through bedroom to get to) needs clean water/balanced ph, Fireplace awesome if you know how to build fires & willing to scoop ashes/dispose of them while you're on vacation, (we do), smoke detector alarm goes off for no reason...we enjoyed our stay because it is our family vacation & Brighton has awesome ski/snowboarding.

Loved this creatively built, cozy cabin!
The host was very nice and communicative, and the cabin had plenty of room yet a lovely, cozy vibe with a wood-burning fireplace and big comfy sofa. Plenty of room for a group to eat around the large round table in the dining area. The sauna was sooo pleasant. Tons of interesting handmade items and features all over the home. We enjoyed it immensely!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a location that was close to the city that we could access in the summer easily. We also love all of the variety of things to do from biking, fishing, and of course skiing. Being only 15 minutes from Deer Valley was also a big plus.

What makes this property unique

For winter travelers, The cabin sits right of the main highway leading to Brighton. This means that if you come to ski, you will not need a snowmobile to get to the cabin. The roads are maintained during the winter and unless there is a major storm 90% of the time you can drive a front wheel drive car right to the front door!
