The house was absolutely incredible. The location was amazing to access hiking, Brighton or head over to park city. We easily housed our whole group and everyone had plenty of space to sleep, eat, hangout, and shower. What an amazing experience!

The house was enormous and so close to a lot of really fun things to do! We saw mouse around the property a few times. The patio was so fun to sit out at night. We used it so much. I would highly recommend this house. Such a beautiful home.

This location and house was absolutely perfect. Easy walking distance to all the fun activities at Brighton. Gorgeous setting at the top of the canyon. The patio is the perfect place for a group to relax, eat, visit. We loved it. One thing to note - this cabin has a lot of stairs so it would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues- this is not a negative because we loved it but just something to be aware of.

Grand family wedding stay at the lodge!

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 had a wonderful time at the lodge! We loved the very unique setup with the main and guest houses - the beautiful deck, and quirky design with all the stairs and room layouts (though more frail folks may have a tough time with all the stairs, particularly at this altitude! We made use of all of the rooms - (though less of the kitchen/dining space in guest house), particularly the main house kitchen and living space and the deck /furniture. The bathrooms/showers were great, loved the hot tub. The place was the most well stocked of any houses we've ever rented - and the service staff was very helpful, flexible and responsive! Plus - the setting and location is spectacular - we walked to and around Silver Lake. The aspen trees were near their fall peak color! Also -while we didn't use them - having safety gates integrated with many of the stairs was noticed. The only nitpicking items - garage is a very tight fit for larger SUVs and one of the closets in the guest house could use a vent cover (to attick space?)

Perfect Family Getaway for a Snowy Cabin Adventure!

We loved everything about our stay at this beautiful home in the mountains. Out contact with the property was SO helpful before during and after our stay. The home was IMMACULATE, spacious, cozy, and had everything we could have ever wished for for a little ski weekend getaway. We can’t wait to come back in the summer and treat ourselves again! I give the experience all the stars that are possible y’all are awesome!!

Great House for a Large Group

This high end house works really well for a large group of skiers. Plenty of common space, two kitchens, and lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Ski in/ski out to Milly lift and plenty of equipment storage at the entrance. The owner is very responsive and helpful. You won’t be disappointed!

TPL was more than I expected. Spectacular, plenty of room, well equipped and beautiful view. Was simply amazing.... hour or less to Park City, Snowbird and Alta. Brighton is walk to the lift and Solitude is maybe 2 miles down the hill. Will rebook - would love to stay in summer months!!
