About this property

Slopeside Cabin by Cottonwood Lodging

Slopeside by Cottonwood Lodging - LOCAL EXCELLENCE IN HOSTING!

Important note: 4wd/awd and snow tires or chains are legally required in the canyon during winter months (November - April) to make it safely to the home. This home can accommodate 4 vehicles year-round.

The Slopeside Cabin is the perfect home for your ski or summer mountain vacation! Our lift-adjacent home is located across the street from the Great Western Lift at Brighton Ski Resort. The cabin has a great balance of being very accessible, yet private with mature trees and generous outdoor space. You can ski, hike, and enjoy the majestic scenery right from the front door.

Slopeside has all of the key items on your "must-have" list for a perfect ski vacation! The choice location allows you to quickly run home for lunch or a break and return to the slopes in no time. The close proximity to the ski lifts also affords guests a great view of skiing while relaxing in the living room or on the deck. With 3 bedrooms (6 separate beds- including 1 sofa sleeper) and 2 full bathrooms, Slopeside is an excellent choice for groups of singles as well as 1 or 2 families with kids.

The open and well-equipped kitchen is a wonderful layout for cooking with larger groups. The "chef" can flip pancakes and serve across the bar while taking in the views from the window-lined living room. Both the pool table and ping pong table get equal enjoyment in the course of a weeks' stay and provide hours of entertainment. To top it off, the living room's gas fireplace creates a focal point for those socializing into the late hours of the night.

A guest can’t ask for a better location and experience than “Slopeside Cabin.” Kate and Bill are exceptional owners and hosts. There was nothing that we needed that was not included in the cabin — but had there been something, I have no doubt they would have seen to it that we received it. The location of this cabin to the slopes and Brighton Center is absolutely unmatched. We would 100% return if we ever come back to Brighton. Thanks so much, Kate & Bill!

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations or amenities. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything we needed, which made settling in easy. One feature we especially loved was the boot and glove warmer—it kept all our gear dry, warm, and ready to go each day. The new washer and dryer were also a big plus and free to use.The upstairs views through the panoramic windows were stunning, especially with fresh snow falling. It was incredibly relaxing to enjoy the scenery while staying cozy by the fireplace and listening to music on the sound system.There was no shortage of entertainment either, with plenty of options like board games, video games, a large TV, cards, ping pong, and a pool table—something for everyone.What stood out most, though, was the owner’s outstanding communication. They took extra time to make sure we were comfortable, answered all of our questions, and checked in to ensure our stay was stress-free. Their helpful recommendations for groceries and local spots made the experience even better.

Great cabin for a ski vacation

We've stayed in a few properties up at Brighton and this is one of our favorites. It's the closest you can get to the lifts, which was a huge plus for us especially with kids/teens who like to come in and out a lot from the mountain. The cabin itself was super cozy, clean, comfortable, and had great windows so you could take in the views and didn't feel too enclosed. The hosts were incredibly responsive and gracious - you could tell they wanted to make sure we had a great trip.

Great summer spot!

The cabin was absolutely perfect! Kate was very communicative the whole time and did everything she could to make sure we were taken care of during our stay. The cabin is in a great spot right with multiple hiking trails nearby. Our first hike in the area brought us to 5 moose! The cabin was well stocked and able to support us cooking all of our meals and gave us good separation from the surrounding cabins. Would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a place to stay.

Why they chose this property

One of the top reasons we LOVE Brighton and our Slopeside Cabin (in the winter / spring) is the SNOW! Brighton Resort averages 500 inches of fluffy, dry, powder snow annually and sits in a perfect position at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Other winter perks are: all terrain is accessible by high speed quads, the largest night-skiing operation in Utah, a top quality and highly rated ski and snowboard school, and extensive backcountry access from the resort. The resort is also steeped in mountain history and culture, as Brighton was the was the first ski resort in Utah.

In the summer and fall, Brighton abounds in majestic mountain scenery, wildflowers (summer), fall foliage (fall), recreational opportunities, and the ideal climate. There are five-star hikes for beginners to experts to numerous mountain lakes and peaks. At Solitude Resort (2 miles down canyon from the Slopeside Cabin) there is also lift-accessed mountain biking, an 18-hole disc golf course, and several other amenities.

Staying at the Slopeside Cabin you can maximize your time enjoying the mountains- either on the hill skiing and snowboarding in the winter or hiking, fishing, and wildflower / wildlife viewing in the summer or fall. You can leave right from the front door and be immediately immersed in the majestic Wasatch mountains- without ever stepping into a vehicle your entire stay. This is WHY we chose BRIGHTON and the SLOPESIDE CABIN!

What makes this property unique

The Slopeside Cabin is a prime vacation choice for its extremely close proximity to Brighton Resort; its private stream-lined backyard (interior of the Brighton Circle); its open kitchen and living area (comfortable cooking and entertaining); its wrap around full windows to soak in the mountain scenery, and all the extras touches it includes (pool / ping-pong table, boot and glove dryer, gear cubbies / hooks, and a gas fireplace).
