Whispering Pines Cabin by Cottonwood Lodging

Set above the canyon road in a quiet mountain neighborhood, Whispering Pines Cabin offers peaceful forest views, recently renovated interiors, and convenient access to both Solitude and Brighton resorts.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin includes two queen bedrooms, a twin bunk room, and a downstairs den with additional sleeping space. Updated appliances, refreshed bathrooms, multiple smart TVs, and comfortable gathering areas make it a welcoming home base for winter ski trips and summer mountain adventures.

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.
- Winter check-in is from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 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. Rideshare vehicles may not meet winter traction requirements and may be unable to reach the home or return for pickup.
- The home can accommodate a maximum of two vehicles.

Winter Guided Arrival
A Cottonwood Lodging team member will meet you along the main road and guide you to the property for all winter arrivals.
This process helps prevent guests from becoming lost or stuck on neighborhood roads and supports our positive relationship with nearby residents. Please do not attempt to reach the home without assistance, even if you have stayed at the property before.
Please communicate your expected arrival time with Cottonwood Lodging in advance so a team member can meet you between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Whispering Pines for the Win!

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: Really enjoyed this cozy spot close to Solitude and Brighton. Nice to not have to fight the Canyon traffic after all the great snow fall. Clean, quiet, and comfy. The access requires good tires in winter! The staff were over the top helpful and friendly. Great on-going outreach and support. All good!

Overall it was a good experience. There were a few things at the property that could use improvement but nothing major. Upstairs bathroom wasn't able to lock, rugs were slipping around, very uneven floor downstairs. And the parking could have been more clearly marked. But we very much enjoyed our stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Dec, 2025
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay overall! We appreciate your feedback and are reviewing the bathroom lock, rug placement, and parking signage. The uneven flooring is due to the home’s natural settling over time and is not a structural concern, but we understand it can be noticeable. Thanks for staying with us, we’d be happy to host you again in the future!

Great place, loved our time

We had a great stay. The place was clean and the space was perfect. The views of the mountains and sunsets were wonderful. In the winter, do be sure that you have the means to get there. We have AWD and had chains. When we lost a chain on our drive, the property manager helped us pick up a new set that we bought online through O'Reilly's, so we'd be in good shape for the ice and snow. Such great service. Thank you Marissa for the help and for a great stay!

perfect for family

Perfect family cabin. Be aware if you prefer eating home , or you like home cooking , there is not really big grocery store around. And if you run out of grocery during the storm , you will be stuck without food sources , unless you use food delivery. Overall cabin has everything you need. Make sure during winter use 4WD vehicle and have chains in your trunk just in case the conditions gets severe.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 May, 2024
Hi Natalia! We highly recommend planning meals and bringing groceries with you to any of our homes as there are only small general markets nearby. We do not suggest food delivery services attempt to access our homes in the winter as the risk of them not having the proper vehicle to drive on the mountain roads in the snow can jeopardize our business license. Thanks for sharing, we look forward to any future stays with us!

Disappointed

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property needs a warning label: these are not ROADS to the cabin but narrow paths with vegetation on both sides making it difficult to navigate. The tvs never worked - apprently need very specific instructions on how to work them. BEautiful scenery but you don't want to be there in a rainstorm if you need to go back down the mountain.

It’s an adorable cabin. Everything was neat and tidy. We were there in the summer and my biggest complaint is the heat. There is no AC, so the obvious solution is to open the windows. The problem with that is that there are no screens on the windows. So you get to choose between waking up sweating or waking up to a wasp circling your head. Everything else was great. Directions were easy follow, kitchen is stocked, there is a washer and dryer and soap to go with it.

Rachel, thank you for the review. We're glad everything was neat and tidy and directions were easy to follow! We appreciate the feedback about the window screens and will share it with the owner for consideration as we can see how they would improve the experience. We're also happy to provide fans if requested whenever possible to help keep the cabin comfortable during summer months. Thank you again for staying with us, we hope to welcome you back next time you're taking a mountain getaway!
