The perfect snow cabin
We loved our ski vacation at the Sunflower Cabin! Everything worked so well with Vacasa management and the cabin was ideal. Not only was the home perfectly cleaned, but there was plenty of extra bedding, heaters, soap, towels and kitchen wares. It was like all the best parts of a hotel and all the best parts of a VRBO. The location could not have been better. Brighton's parking is a pain and you avoid it with the house. It is about as close as you can get to the lifts and it was an easy walk for our family to get on the hill. They have some fun additions like an amazing shower, a ton of charging outlets next to the beds and really nice televisions in almost every room. The decor is so cute and rustic. Overall, we highly recommend for a family!

Perfect location.
Pros:
-Location unbeatable. Short walk to lifts.
-cleaning crew must be fast as house was available for entry hours before the 4pm check in time.
-upstairs beds comfortable with memory foam toppers
-best stocked with laundry & bathroom “essentials” of any VRBO we’ve stayed. Seriously, we’ve rented a lot, and this had the most detergent pods, shampoo, conditioner, soap bars & TP rolls I’ve ever seen. Much appreciated given the lack of close by stores.
-Kitchen well stocked; and although you can’t count on it, there were tons of non perishable staple foods left over in pantry (pastas, ground coffee & filters, oatmeal etc). We over shopped for some groceries.
-steam shower
Cons:
-no Keurig. Should really be a staple these days.
-no dishwasher
-picky, but could stand to have a light fixture above kitchen sink to wash dishes by. Given the “igloo” like snow conditions (the windows were mostly buried in snow & frozen ice falls), it was dark inside.
-downstairs bunk room beds are on the “short” side for adult sleepers.
Location does have one downside, as any real stores are a 1 hour round trip back down the mountain. Stock up accordingly.
My only real complaint would be the cleaning was a bit less than thorough. That is, there were food crumbs in couch arms and cushions, old socks under bath vanity, and a pair of female underwear under a couch cushion (ew). Probably all a function of how quickly they try to turn over between guests.

Older cabin in excellent location
The cabin is older, but the location makes it perfect for a ski vacation as you can walk to the lifts.
I did not enjoy my time in it very much though because I spent a lot of time with digging myself and the car out. It was nearly impossible to access the cabin without slipping and falling. I tried to contact the management (Vacasa) a few times, but never got a response.
