The hot tub was really cloudy but the host was quick to respond and get the hot tub cleared up so we could enjoy the awesome views from the deck looking at Brighton ski resort. We loved being able to walk to great westerner ski lift and not have to worry about parking.

The location was perfect for easy access to Brighton. The house is beautiful, roomy and comfortable. The loft is accessible via a small ladder. The town is tiny with very few establishments and closes early so bring everything you need with you before you enter the Canyon ( and everything is cashless!)
Outside shot from bedroom - that’s how close you will be to fabulous skiing!

Family ski vacation

Our family of five had a wonderful four night stay at Brighton. The loft area was perfect for our 9 and 13 year old (ladder access). The massage chair was a favorite. The proximity to the Great Western lift was easy, even for the kids. The property manager team was very communicative every step along the way. We had a great time.

Wonderful cabin close to lifts

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was spotless and the management is very responsive. We didn’t use the hot tub since it snowed so much while we were there and would have taken a lot of shoveling before we could get to it. The two beds up in the loft area are actually just mattresses. It worked for our 20 something year old kids. An outlet would be nice up there for charging a phone or tablet. Everyone loved the massage chair!

What we wanted

This was the perfect location for our family ski trip to Brighton. It was so close to the resort that we walked to and from everyday, we even went back for lunch! The place was the perfect size for our family of 5. The kids loved the hidden loft area to sleep in (2 mattresses on the floor with a hidden ladder to get there). The entryway was perfect to come in and dump all your gear. The couch was plenty big and the kitchen had everything you needed. If we go back to Brighton we will definitely stay here again.

Ski Paradise

Terrific stay, from the pre-stay communication to check out. The location was absolutely amazing. You can ski all the way down to literally across the street. Easy access to bother Solitude and Brighton which we skied both of over three days. Kitchen was super well stocked, hot tub was perfect. In general everything was about as nice as we’ve experienced at a VRBO.
