We really enjoyed our stay. The home is nice with a comfortable layout. We loved the wall of windows in the family room - the winter views are beautiful. Proximity to the slopes was amazing. We also got good use of the hot tub. The only downside was some outdated/old things in the kitchen. Mattresses and bedding was not amazing but fine. The overall vibe was cozy and comfortable and we would certainly stay here again!

The great room windows look out on a scenic view of pines and mountain peaks. The picturesque panorama took our breath away every morning, and we spent enjoyable hours lounging and just taking in the natural beauty before us. We took hikes to the lakes, spotted deer and chipmunks, took a hundred photos, and cooked our own dinner in the well-provisioned kitchen. This property made for a perfect summer vacation.

Stellar Haven is Stellar!

A really lovely, luxurious place for a large family gathering/wedding. Brighton is a beautiful low-key resort totally devoid of mega lodges and all the trapping of a high-priced busy resort. Loved being able to walk to all the wedding events: Hikes, picnics, ceremony, brunch. The cabin was very well stocked with towels, kitchen items, hottub towels, guide books. Very clean and well kept up cabin. The check in time is at 4pm and checkout is at 10am only wish we could have checked in sooner and checked out later without an extra charge.
