Xanadu by Cottonwood Lodging

Xanadu by Cottonwood Lodging - LOCAL EXCELLENCE IN HOSTING!

Tucked among the pines behind Solitude Mountain Resort, Xanadu is a luxury mountain retreat designed for families and groups seeking space, privacy, and unforgettable alpine experiences. Surrounded by towering evergreens and cool mountain air, this custom built five-bedroom home offers the perfect basecamp for hiking, mountain biking, scenic chairlift rides, fishing, disc golf, and reconnecting with the people who matter most.
Whether you're planning a family reunion, milestone celebration, corporate retreat, or summer escape from the valley heat, Xanadu delivers the space, comfort, and mountain serenity that's increasingly hard to find.


Unplug Without Sacrificing Comfort

In a world of crowded destinations and packed itineraries, Xanadu offers something increasingly rare: the opportunity to slow down. Tucked away on a quiet private road surrounded by forest, mornings begin with coffee on the deck surrounded by pine trees. Afternoons are spent exploring mountain trails and alpine lakes, and evenings end beneath star-filled skies in the private hot tub. Whether you're seeking adventure, connection, or simply a break from the noise of everyday life, Xanadu creates the perfect setting to be fully present. Here, the soundtrack is birdsong, rustling aspens, and the occasional breeze through the trees.


Summer in Big Cottonwood Canyon

Big Cottonwood Canyon in the summer is one of Utah's hidden gems. While visitors crowd national parks and resort towns, you'll enjoy cooler temperatures, uncrowded trails, alpine lakes, gorgeous wildflowers, and breathtaking mountain scenery just 30 minutes from Salt Lake City and Park City. Both Brighton and Solitude Mountain Resorts which are a quick 10 minute drive (or less!) from the home offer plenty of activities and things to do from weekly outdoor yoga, to live music, to flea markets. Take time to slow down and soak up the dog days of summer.


Gather, Celebrate, and Make Memories

The best vacations aren't about checking items off a list. They're about the moments shared together. Xanadu was designed for gathering, with spacious common areas, room for everyone to spread out, and inviting spaces that naturally bring people together. Host family dinners, celebrate milestones, reconnect with old friends, or simply enjoy uninterrupted time with the people you love most.


After the Adventure

After a day on the trails, return home to soak in the private hot tub, gather around the wood-burning fireplace, or enjoy a glass of wine on the wraparound deck as the sun dips behind the mountains. Xanadu offers the perfect balance of outdoor adventure and luxurious relaxation.


Xanadu is managed by locally owned and operated property manager Cottonwood Lodging Company where the guest experience is most important. Please reach out for information about the area and other services offered by Cottonwood Lodging.
