The perfect place for a relaxing winter getaway. I don’t ski and I had a wonderful time relaxing in the hot tub and cooking for the boys while they hit the slopes.

About as close to SISO as you can get at Brighton

Very cozy lodge. Listing as described. If you are going during the snowing season, please please please believe them when they say you need a 4x4 or AWD vehicle with snow tires. The neighborhood is remote and plows simply can't keep up with all the great snow you're going to get at Brighton. Also during the winter, definitely plan on not going back down to the city much once you're up here in the canyon: the canyon road traffic gets very congested each evening. But that's the whole reason you're staying here: to avoid all the traffic getting up here each day and to beat everyone to the slopes each morning. It's great.

Suggestions

The only problem we had was with the oven. It seems like a new style but the are no instructions for operating it. We put food in to warm for a meal we hosted for the wedding party but it automatically turns off and the food was cold. Everything else was good.

Fabulous Family Getaway!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After my father's funeral in Salt Lake, several family members gathered at Brighton Ski Resort to spend some quiet family mountain time together at this wonderful cabin. So comfortable, so secluded, we loved the hot tub and gathering around the fireplace. Everything we needed was there. Close to the lake for gentle walking. We would do this again and again.

High Altitude Serenity

This is a comfortable cabin in a heavily forested area. We had a few rain showers each day but due to the time of year, the storms built up throughout the morning with brief rain in the afternoon. The cabin is situated within walking distance to the Brighton ski lifts and hiking trails. There is a general store and cafe nearby. They have a few basics... including canned oxygen :) The hot tub is dated and the jets are not overly powerful but the water was crystal clear and the beauty of looking up into mature Aspen trees cannot be beat. The area is very quiet even with how crazy busy the Brighton resort is every weekend. We enjoyed hiking the various trails found nearby. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing and serving meals. A doe and her fawn visited every morning and a family of chipmunks dwells in the rocks directly behind the house. The hosts are great and respond to texts within a few minutes. The large wood pile in the garage has a strong odor but it cannot be sensed in the upstairs main house. There is definitely a summer bug problem this year but we were warned so it wasn't a surprise. We enjoyed our high altitude stay in a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location.

Amazing stay in Brighton!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We traveled 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids under 6) to Brighton for the kids first ski trip. We loved the resort and this home. It was so spacious and had everything you could ever need. Such a nice bonus to have things such as olive oil, kitchen spices, dish soap, laundry needs, etc. We loved spending our days on the mountain and evenings at this lovely home. The location is perfect, just note worthy hills for little Kids you would need to drive to drive which was no big deal. Thank you again!

Great ski trip home! Spacious, comfortable, beautiful views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Uinta Lodge is a great place to rent for ski trips with a large family or large friend groups. The home has comfortable beds, awesome areas for games and spending time together after hitting the slopes. The only issues we had were the snowblower in the garage didn’t function properly and we had a few (3) mice get into our luggage. All in all what a beautiful place to rent for a ski trip at Brighton!

The home was clean and comfortable for our group of 9. There were a few lightbulbs that we had to replace. Also, we did not have an ice maker and there were no ice cube trays. Overall, a great rental.

Great for our family gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the house worked well for our family gathering. There are a few things that didn't quite meet my expectations. The lighting is very dated and doesn't give off much light. Perhaps that's part of the log cabin charm. The screens didn't fit tightly in the windows so we were fighting off flies. And the smell from the wood pile in the garage was not great. Those items aside, great place, great location, fun time.

Designed to hunker down

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you enjoy sleeping in, being lazy, reading a book by the window, or zone out in the hot tub, this is the place; it took a bit of energy to peel myself away to go snowboarding. The location was great, and very close to Brighton, but if you know the location of the backwoods shortcut, then it is a true ski-in-ski-out spot. Otherwise, the distance to the lifts is comparable to having to walk to the far end of the parking lot in most resorts.Timing couldn't be better, with snow storms rolling in during our stay, but the staff came by regularly to shovel paths to the hot tub and grill, plus maintenance coming by to check on the place. Communication with the staff via text was excellent and prompt. I will be considering this place again the next time I'm in the Cottonwood area.

Enjoyed our stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home had the right set up with number of rooms and beds for my large family. We really enjoyed the hot tub and wood burning fireplace. Carole the property manager was excellent and on the ball with anything we needed. I particularly liked that the home had spices, dish soap, laundry detergent and incidentals that you don't want to lug or have to buy for a weeks stay. The only negative is that the owners need to invest in new bedding, towels and dishes, which were old and not enough place settings for a family of 8.
