Great Western at Brighton Resort
Great Western is a spacious mountain home located at the base of Brighton Resort, just a two-minute walk from the lifts. With vaulted ceilings, beautiful views of the ski area, multiple living spaces, and a private hot tub, this home is a great fit for families and groups looking to stay right in the heart of Brighton.
Important Winter Access Information
From November 1 through April 15, winter traction requirements may be in effect in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Utah Department of Transportation and Town of Brighton regulations may require vehicles to have approved snow tires, 3PMSF-rated tires, or chains depending on conditions.
Snow removal at the property is provided by a local vendor and may be intermittent during active storms. Cottonwood Lodging does not control plowing schedules.
During snowy weather, we strongly recommend arriving before 8:00 PM whenever possible, as roads and parking areas may become more difficult to access later in the evening.
Parking is limited to 3 vehicles directly in front of the home. Parking beyond the home is used for paid Brighton Resort parking and is not available to guests.
