Brighton Woods by Cottonwood Lodging
Brighton Woods by Cottonwood Lodging
Surrounded by towering pines near Brighton Resort, Brighton Woods offers five bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, a private hot tub, and close ski access for a memorable mountain getaway in any season.
Brighton Woods is a spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom cabin designed for families and groups traveling together. The home features three king bedrooms, two bunk rooms, a large kitchen, separate living and loft areas, and a heated outdoor patio where guests can relax beneath the trees after a day in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Important Winter Access Information For stays from November 1 through April 15, please review the following before booking: - Guests must arrive in a vehicle equipped with approved winter tires marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF), or carry approved traction devices, as required by applicable canyon traction rules. - Plan to arrive between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. during winter. Arriving within this window allows our team to guide you to the home and reduces the likelihood of encountering unplowed neighborhood roads during active snowfall. - Do not use Uber or Lyft to travel to this property. Ride-share vehicles may not meet winter traction requirements and may be unable to reach the home or return for pickup.
Winter Guided Arrival A Cottonwood Lodging team member will meet you along the main road and guide you to the property for all winter arrivals. This process helps prevent guests from becoming lost or stuck on neighborhood roads and supports our positive relationship with nearby residents. Please do not attempt to reach the home without assistance, even if you have stayed at the property before. Winter check-in must take place between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Please communicate your expected arrival time with Cottonwood Lodging in advance so a team member can meet you.

The host and staff were always attentive to all our needs. They even added a Christmas tree for our stay. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced at a VRBO. The cabin was great in all respects. I would rent this cabin again in a second.
This property in Brighton woods was the perfect weekend getaway! The home is well-stocked, clean and full of character. The glass double doors, staircase bookshelf, hidden sleeping nook are just a few of the things our group loved. We'll definitely be back
Very easy to check in. Had everything we needed. Very fast communication with the management company. Not perfectly clean (dusty window sills and cobwebs here and there) but still enjoyable place.
Great stay all around - mgmt company is super responsive and helpful. Great skiing! Easy to walk up the hill and ski into Great Western for an experienced skier (probably slightly harder for a first-timer - but we had 4 year olds do it in light snow). House is great. Main floor floors are slightly cold, but it is cozy and perfect for families.

We decided to spend our 10th anniversary here with friends. The house was perfect with ski in ski out access and a ridiculous amount of snow for the weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook for a crowd. We loved soaking in the hot tub after skiing powder all day. We would definitely stay here again.

We rented this house for extended family for our son's wedding in September. The house was great - comfortable living areas, very well stocked kitchen, enough bedrooms/beds/baths for all, and a much needed/used hot tub. Property management was very responsive and provided all information we needed/asked for. I would definitely recommend this house!

Reviewer Comments:
My crew of 8 people had an excellent week staying at the Brighton Woods. Ski in ski out requires some off-piste skiing on mellow terrain which was fine for our crew. With 8 people spread over 5 bedrooms, house was comfortable. Dining table sits 10 people comfortably. Overall a good house that we'll consider renting again.
Home was great for ski trip to Utah Cottonwood Canyons. No major issues. Could use a little minor maintenance with things like loose kitchen faucet, curtain rod in one bathroom not secured well (it fell down) and loose toilet handle. But overall Great home for ski trip! Also, property management communications were prompt and responsive. Thank you. Vasil

The cabin was wonderful- clean, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The location is very peaceful and quite close to Brighton and Silver lake for hiking. The property management and maintenance crew are the best! Very quick responses and help when needed. We always rent with Cottonwood lodging when we visit Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Stayed at this house with 5 other 60+ avid skiers end of February and had a great time. I’m the one who researched and booked the house and am always nervous about whether it will be a good fit for my ski buddy crew and this house did not disappoint. Large connected kitchen and great room which worked out well for preparing breakfast and dinner after a day on the slopes. The guys really enjoyed the hot tub after skiing also. Also, house is ski in ski out so we didn’t have to use our car at all during our stay. Finally, cudos to the property management company who was very responsive before and during our stay.

Stayed 4 nights with a group of 7. Cabin had everything we needed, was in good condition, and clean. Large family room and dining area made for easy gathering space and kitchen was stocked with all the basics. Easy access to skiing via Great Western. Utilized the grill and hot tub which we're well maintained and cleared of snow for easy access. Management company communicated clearly with instructions, directions, and other advice.
Our group thoroughly enjoyed the place. Very convenient to Brighton and the management company frequently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.
Beautiful cabin! Very clean and spacious. Great location to the resort. Great communication with property management, they made the stay easy and comfortable. Excellent spot for a staycation!
