Surrounded by towering pines near Brighton Resort, Brighton Woods offers five bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, a private hot tub, and close ski access for a memorable mountain getaway in any season.
Brighton Woods is a spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom cabin designed for families and groups traveling together.

Important Winter Access Information For stays from November 1 through April 15, please review the following before booking: *Guests must arrive in a vehicle equipped with approved winter tires marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF), or carry approved traction devices, as required by applicable canyon traction rules. *Plan to arrive between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. during winter. Arriving within this window allows our team to guide you to the home and reduces the likelihood of encountering unplowed neighborhood roads during active snowfall. *Do not use Uber or Lyft to travel to this property.

Our group thoroughly enjoyed the place. Very convenient to Brighton and the management company frequently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed.
Hi Kathy! Happy to hear your family enjoyed the location, it is nestled in the neighborhood right off of Great Western lift at Brighton.
We look forward to any of your future stays with us!
The host and staff were always attentive to all our needs. They even added a Christmas tree for our stay. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen we have ever experienced at a VRBO. The cabin was great in all respects. I would rent this cabin again in a second.
Our group really enjoyed this home for the weekend and it's proximity for Solitude was perfect!

Thank you so much for staying with us! We hope to see you again!
Proprrty & ammendities met represenred expectations; great location to both resorts, prefect family/friends layout, group gathering time & privacy space.
This property in Brighton woods was the perfect weekend getaway! The home is well-stocked, clean and full of character. The glass double doors, staircase bookshelf, hidden sleeping nook are just a few of the things our group loved. We'll definitely be back
Wonderful location and great communication with Cottonwood Lodging. We couldn't find the cabin at first because there was so much snow but Cottonwood helped us figure it out. Location is great, very close to Great Western Lift. Will definitely be back!

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your review. We work hard to communicate with our guests. We hope you stay with us again sometime.
Our team of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and professional scientists used this space for a three day writing and research retreat. The space easily accommodated all of us and gave everyone space to work and gather. The kitchen and outdoor amenities were excellent, the host was attentive but not intrusive, and we really capitalized on the access to the outstanding nearby trails!
Very easy to check in. Had everything we needed. Very fast communication with the management company. Not perfectly clean (dusty window sills and cobwebs here and there) but still enjoyable place.
Great communication, everything was as advertised. I only have two minor things to add.1. The outdoor grill needs to be replaced. Missing pieces and a lot of grease in the bottom.2. It is ski in/out, as long as you don't night ski. The trail to get back to the cabin is closed after 4pm.I would stay here again.

Jesse, thank you for taking the time to share your insight! We are glad to hear everything was as advertised and our communication was great. Noted on the condition of the grill, we will get it cleaned and see if some parts can be replaced. We also appreciate the clarification regarding night skiing and accessing the home through the resort trails, the closest lift to this home does indeed close at 4pm, and we've edited the listing to reflect this. Thanks for choosing to stay with us and we hope to host you again, soon!
Great stay all around - mgmt company is super responsive and helpful. Great skiing! Easy to walk up the hill and ski into Great Western for an experienced skier (probably slightly harder for a first-timer - but we had 4 year olds do it in light snow). House is great. Main floor floors are slightly cold, but it is cozy and perfect for families.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Paul! You and your party were terrific guests, and we'd happily host you again on your next ski trip!
Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location. Some minor maintenance issues that I’m sure will get fixed. This cabin has really fine details and the location allows you to walk to dozens of hiking trails and lakes.
