Location: Solitude, Utah, USA (45 minutes from Salt Lake Int'l Airport in Big Cottonwood) View Map
Accommodations: Chalet, 5 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 4 Baths (Sleeps 11)
Keywords: Log Cabin Home
The Big Cottonwood Cabin, minutes from Solitude and Brighton ski resorts in the heart of the famous Wasatch Range, and a short drive to Alta and Snowbird, is a unique hand-crafted log home built in 1997 by a Master Craftsman. Furnishings include many original rustic log creations, each one a piece of art. Four bedrooms have queen beds, and the fifth has a bunk bed with full bed on bottom and twin bed on top.
The 3500 square foot cabin is carefully and tastefully decorated with each room having its own special ambiance. Enjoy the great room with its massive riverstone wood burning fireplace, or the game room with its own massive wood burning fireplace and attached full bar, or just relax in the private outdoor six person Jacuzzi.
The Smoke-Free Cabin has magnificent views of Solitude, Silver Fork and Big Cottonwood, and with it's southerly exposure, sunny afternoons will draw you to the exterior deck after a long day of hiking, skiing or just playing in the snow, where, if not careful, you can get sunburned even in the middle of winter.
No expense has been spared in the creation of this magnificent view log home, less than one mile to Solitude, two miles to Brighton and 45 minutes to Alta and Snowbird. Enjoy a vacation you will never forget in first class accomodations.

Why the Owner Chose Solitude
We've been coming to the Wasatch Range for over 40 years and finally found the perfect cabin in the perfect spot. World class skiing, incredible mountain biking, hiking, wild flowers, moose, deer and all sorts of forest and mountain creatures, plus just feeling like you're in heaven on earth. We get to experience mountain living from a luxurious 5 bedroom, 4 bath authentic log cabin with every possible amenity.

This log home provided a wonderful place to gather our family from around the country for the 2011 Holidays. The decor and furnishings are first class, construction is classic and the home is well maintained and very clean and well organized. The five bedrooms are well placed and all bathrooms very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with top of the line pans and equipment for cooking. The rec room in the lower level with the foos ball table was a great gathering spot. We would definitely recommend this property to friends. It comfortably fit our family of 10 adults and children. It is about 3 minutes from the Solitude ski area parking lot...couldn't be more convenient. A great place to create family memories!

We just completed our 3rd year staying at this cabin and have been totally satisfied with each stay. The home is as advertised and is immaculately clean when we arrive. The amenities are numerous and in working order. The kitchen is large enough for several cooks at one time as we've learned and we are not getting in each others way. The bedrooms are spacious and are roomy enough to accomodate luggage and still have room to move around. Each of the beds I have slept in thru the years have been comfortable. The views of the Canyon are stellar and since the house faces somewhat west, late in the season, in the afternoon, you can catch some rays on the deck while barbequing. Our group has been making the trip out west, from the east coast, for the past 9 years and we feel that we have found our "home away from home". The homes' caretaker is always available and willing to assist us in whatever request we may have. This past year, we contacted the owner in advance to inquire about his favorite resorts/runs etc and he turned us on to some great powder stashes, many thanks!!! I highly recommend this Cabin to those folks who are more interested in the skiing/riding, than they are the nightlife. We'll be back, again...

I have been traveling the country for several years and have stayed at many VRBO houses along the way. I can honestly say that I have never felt at home as much as I did here. Everything is perfectly set up, the house is decorated with class and logistics. The basement offers an amazing area for hanging out and the hottub..well...you can only imagine looking out across the Wasatch and breathing deep. My family was in town for a whole week and this provided the ideal place for everyone. No running around in SLC, no hotels, and no spending $200 on dinner. The kitchen is large enough to feed a small army and we were impressed with all the room. If you are planning a trip to the Solitude/Brighton/Silverfork area, there is no need to stay anywhere else. We could not have been happier with this decision...Thanks again Mark!

What a special place! The wooodwork, the decorations, the bedrooms, the kitchen, the views from the living room, the grand fireplace - everything is so outstandingly beautiful. We never saw anything like this in all our travels. It beats Austria, Switzerland and Italy in terms of accomodation and snow conditions. A week of snowshoeing and skiing was much too short. It is definitely worth the long trip. We will be back for more! Thank you!!

I have never written a review before ... so when I say I am impressed with this cabin... I really am impressed. You can travel far and near and never find a place with so much character and beauty. The superb quality of design and craftsmanship made me feel relaxed. We had a great internet connection, plenty of wood for the massive fire place, lots of hot water for the jacuzzi and a view of the ski hill. My wife loved the kitchen and son the foose ball table. WOW! Just the perfect Cabin in the perfect ski area!

We stayed in this beautiful home immediately after New Year's day and found it to be a great place to relax after a day of skiing. The pictures don't do it justice....it's far more comfortable and cozy than it looks! We will definitely be back!!

We rented the cabin right before Christmas, and we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the cabin and location. We especially appreciated the attention to detail and the quality of all aspects of the home and its furnishings. The cabin was immaculate! Best rental we've ever seen.

We rented the cabin over Father's Day weekend, it was even more beautiful than the website pictures. It had so many personal touches and the rental process was very easy. We enjoyed it very much!! It was very clean. We will hope to stay again soon. Thanks for the wonderful stay! _ The Connelly Family
