Everything was perfect! Extremely comfortable beds and linens. Kitchen was incredible: stocked with basic pantry supplies. We took the basics as well, used what was open and left our new unopened pantry items (unable to fly home with groceries). Host was great, checking to see if we needed anything, after check in. Heated flooring made the atmosphere very cozy and easy to adjust temps. Living room fireplace was awesome and too easy! We could go on and on with every detail. Everything was perfect!

We love the location, which is walkable to Brighton and the Nordic Center, and a short drive to Solitude. It's a beautiful home, comfortable and well appointed overall. The fireplace works great and warms up the house quickly. The Cottonwood Lodging staff was very responsive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Brighton home

This home has it all. Conveniently located between Brighton and Solitude resorts, beautiful views out the back, plenty of room and amenities inside, and the property manager couldn't have been more helpful as we had trouble finding the property in the dark and understanding which keypad we should have used to enter the property. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location, well stocked kitchen, lots of room, great fireplace to sit and relax around, not walkable to lifts in ski boots FYI but worth a stay for sure!!

Response from VrboOwner on 6 May 2024
Hi Mark! Glad to hear you enjoyed the fireplace and kitchen was well stocked! It would be an uphill walk to the resort from the home - we do frequently see others park further down canyon than this home and walk to Brighton in their gear - it can be done, but may not be best suited for everyone, especially with the addition of ski boots/gear on. Thanks for sharing! We hope to host you again in the future!

Completely Peaceful

Rivamonte is heaven on earth. It is so peaceful and the view out the back of the house is amazing. The sound of the running river is so soothing and refreshing. The house is well decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. There are more than enough towels in the bathroom and there were large bottles of shampoo and conditioner and body wash. We did not want for anything and we will definitely be back!

Highly recommend. You can also walk to the Brighton store and the Nordic center.

Winter stay at Rivamonte

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: Overall loved my time at this rental property. Very close to Brighton which is so convenient. Well stocked kitchen and lots of extra linens. The online listing stated 3 king beds and 1 queen; in reality, one of these 3 king beds had been replaced by two twin beds. Additionally, we were told only 3 small cars could fit in the driveway; however, it is possible to fit more. Overall very happy with the experience though.

Thank you for your review Jarrod, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The room with the two twins has a coupler so that the beds can be either a king or 2 twins depending on the guest's needs. I'm sorry we missed that and converted it back to a king. You and your group were terrific guests and we'd love to host you again!

Also, a great location to skiing. However, it wasn't very clean. Some of the dishes and pots needed washing before we used them. Some bedding was clearly used before we arrived. The dryer was filled with towels and bedding the we had to fold and put away. I also had remove about a foot on snow from the driveway upon our arrival. Overall, it was very nice and we would stay again.
