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. Snow plowing on neighborhood roads is provided by local vendors and intermittent. Cottonwood Lodging does not have control over snow plowing. DO NOT TAKE UBERS OR LYFTS TO THIS PROPERTY. Plan to check in between 4pm - 8pm at the latest to help avoid unplowed roads if it is storming and note that this home can accommodate ONLY 2 vehicles.
Winter Guided Arrival: - At the request of the town of Brighton 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. Plan to check in between 4pm - 8pm at the latest. This allows us to provide assistance if necessary and helps to avoid unplowed roads if it is storming. Please do not arrive on your own even if you have stayed with us before. This keeps a positive relationship with the neighbors who appreciate it.

We all had such a wonderful stay!! Ages 75, 62, 37, 34, and 32. Frequent comments on how "perfect" this home was, because it felt like home. We had space to ourselves as needed, but such a great communal design for time together. No need to look any further next time- great location, great deal!!

The cabin was lovely and we had a very nice stay. Communication from the lodging company was great and very informative. The outside is definitely more "weathered" than the photo. It is dark at night so getting to the place was an adventure. But once you figured it out it was fine. Inside was very clean but there was a musty smell in the upstairs bathroom. The fan in the bedroom was great as it was hot! Not sure if the other rooms had them.

Great ski and vacation location !
We loved our stay, the accommodations, and the location. I appreciate the communication from the management team. We came prepared with a 4x4 truck, Three-Peak Mountain SnowFlake (3PMSF) rated tires, snow chains, and winter mountain experience. The snow in Big Cottonwood Canyon is legit. Come prepared and enjoy the deep Utah POW ! ! !

House was great. Mattresses in one room could use an upgrade. Listing was accurate about needing chains when it snows.

Great location
Management company was very communicative. Definitely a tricky road to get up and down once you left the canyon road. We thought the chalet was excellent but relayed a few items to the management company that needed attention.

Epic snow
We stay during an epic amount of snow fall. The place was a good size for a group of guys on a snowboarding trip. Great location, about a minute from Solitude, and about 4min from Brighton. It has a good rustic cabin feel. It's a little dated and the private road to the cabin can be sketchy when there is lots of snow. Make sure you have 4-wheel drive, Good tires, and/or snow chains. You will need them. Great price for what we needed. Would rent again.
