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!

Great Western is Truly Great!

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: My husband and I met up with a college friend for four days at Brighton and we loved Great Western. We were able to do it without a car thanks to Cottonwood Lodging's helpful recommendations for airport transfers and grocery delivery. The house is fantastic - the kitchen is so well stocked, the beds are comfy, the bathrooms are spacious and the hot tub and massage chair were perfect after a long day on the slopes. When we had a small maintenance need, Cottonwood was easy to communicate with by text and fixed the issue right away. I would recommend this company and this house to anyone!

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.

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.

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.

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!
