Slopeside by Cottonwood Lodging

Slopeside by Cottonwood Lodging - LOCAL EXCELLENCE IN HOSTING!

Important note: 4wd/awd and snow tires or chains are legally required in the canyon during winter months (November - April) to make it safely to the home. This home can accommodate 4 vehicles year-round.

The Slopeside Cabin is the perfect home for your ski or summer mountain vacation! Our lift-adjacent home is located across the street from the Great Western Lift at Brighton Ski Resort. The cabin has a great balance of being very accessible, yet private with mature trees and generous outdoor space. You can ski, hike, and enjoy the majestic scenery right from the front door.

Slopeside has all of the key items on your "must-have" list for a perfect ski vacation! The choice location allows you to quickly run home for lunch or a break and return to the slopes in no time. The close proximity to the ski lifts also affords guests a great view of skiing while relaxing in the living room or on the deck. With 3 bedrooms (6 separate beds- including 1 sofa sleeper) and 2 full bathrooms, Slopeside is an excellent choice for groups of singles as well as 1 or 2 families with kids.

The open and well-equipped kitchen is a wonderful layout for cooking with larger groups. The "chef" can flip pancakes and serve across the bar while taking in the views from the window-lined living room. Both the pool table and ping pong table get equal enjoyment in the course of a weeks' stay and provide hours of entertainment. To top it off, the living room's gas fireplace creates a focal point for those socializing into the late hours of the night.

Perfect spot to ski or watch the snow come down

We loved our family stay at Slopeside! Brighton is not a built-up area, and we were thrilled to find this convenient (across from the Great Western Lift) yet peaceful location (views of slopes and across the meadow to mountain peaks). Kate was responsive from booking throughout our stay, and helped us so much (we loved placing an online grocery order and picking up on way from the airport; we needed a shuttle from airport to the property midweek for our college son who joined us; we had questions about rental car companies with proper tires for snow; etc.). We rested so well in between skiing Brighton as well as Solitude 5 min away. We played lots of games and ping-pong, cooked while watching the gorgeous views out the giant windows; and had wonderful family time together. Being able to come back to the house for lunch was amazing, and each member of the group could head out to ski or back in to rest according to their own needs, since Slopeside is so close to the slopes. We had days of spring skiing and sitting with a beer on the deck and then very cold weather with a foot of snow over 24 hours and amazing powder to ski in. Amazing long ski season that actually worked for our late spring break.We are already mentally planning our return. We loved Slopeside!

Great cabin for a ski vacation

We've stayed in a few properties up at Brighton and this is one of our favorites. It's the closest you can get to the lifts, which was a huge plus for us especially with kids/teens who like to come in and out a lot from the mountain. The cabin itself was super cozy, clean, comfortable, and had great windows so you could take in the views and didn't feel too enclosed. The hosts were incredibly responsive and gracious - you could tell they wanted to make sure we had a great trip.

Home Away From Home

Stop your search, look no further, this is the PERFECT property for your vacation in Brighton! Not enough words to describe this beautiful home - but the key takeaways are: 2 minute walk from lift, perfectly appointed home with full kitchen, laundry, pool table, space for everyone to spread out, cozy, games galore, sound system and AMAZING VIEWS. But, I think what meant the most to me as the organizer was the prompt, gracious and insightful responses I received from the host, Kate Novak. The absolute BEST VRBO experience we have had in our 15 years of travel with a family. We are contemplating a trip for a summer adventure because of the perfect time we had during winter at their HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

Fantastic in every way!

I can’t say enough! Easy check-in, great communication with the owners who are so kind and responsive, perfect location just walking distance from Great Western (and you can technically ski-in if the road is snowy!). The kitchen has everything you need including spices, storage containers. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 1 child to all hang out upstairs listening to music/cooking/playing games or to all chill downstairs and watch a movie. Ski storage, boot heater for all 7 of us, rack to hang your ski jacket and helmet on so you don’t have to keep it in your room. Plenty of hot water for all of us to shower! Thanks for everything, Kate and Bill! We will be back!

Best Family Vacation Says All

I am not sure what was most wonderful, the 30-40 inches of powder over 3 days of skiing, the amazing games, ping pong and pool we played in the home, the wonderful dinners we could all make together and sit and eat with ample space in a spacious kitchen and dining table for King Arthur, the cleanliness and impeccable organization and layout of the place, walking to the lift for first tracks and popping in for home made lunches, watching the sun rise as the snow falls beside a warming “wood” burning stove at that comes to life with the flick of a switch, or how absolutely amazing these property owners are! The host bent over backwards to be sure there was not a single flaw in what all my kids said was the best skiing days of their lives! If I missed anything, that was awesome too!

Cozy well maintained cabin with the best location in town

Our five days stay in this property during New Year's celebration was one of the best vacations in many years. It has the best location in Brighton with beautiful views and short walk distance to lifts, ski school, local convenience store and about everything else. That is a great value as the resort gets tremendous amount of traffic and lack of parking during high season. The cabin itself is stylishly decorated with neat good quality furniture and home goods. It is very clean and has about everything one might need. Especially, we appreciated linens and pillows, fresh towels, neat kitchen pans, nice clean fridge and washing machine, fresh carpets, all that many rentals fail to maintain. The house is well-built whith sealed windows, good quiet heating system and large dryer for clothes and ski boots. Best feature ever!!! We also enjoyed cabin's great selection of books, several TV subscription services and ping pong. Kate and Bill, the cabin owners are locals and have been very helpful with our requests, questions and local contacts. Brighton got several feet of snow during our stay and we were very thankful for daily plow services on the property. When in Brighton again, we will surely stay in this cabin and only.

Snowboarding Disneyland!

We stayed at Slopeside with our teen snowboarders, who were able to come and go to Brighton all day. They were over the moon when they found the jump (‘jib’) in the cabin’s back yard, and spent a great deal of time practicing on it after the lifts closed. There was plenty of room, abundant cotton linens, soaps, kitchen supplies, etc. for all 5 of us. Fun board games, great Wifi, big tv in the basement, tools to adjust gear, a heated boot/glove drying rack, super cool decor. Wonderful kitchen is equipped with excellent quality appliances and tools; it was fun to use. Kate was incredibly responsive and accommodating. A truly dreamy ski cabin! We rented a 4x4 truck, which was great to have when the snow piled up. Kate had the driveway plowed after a big storm. Equipment rentals at Brighton Resort were great. Glad we bought all our groceries in the city; Brighton store is not well equipped- think gatorade and souvenirs. Hope to return next year!

Kate’s cabin was about the closest cabin you can get to the Great Western lift at Brighton. We lucked out and stayed on Brighton’s 85th anniversary; the cabin’s huge windows gave us front row seats to watch the fireworks show. Great location, amazing cabin, and perfect stay.

Snowy Slopeside

For many years, our family joins up with our "other family" after Christmas. The layout is perfect, as the adult children can have their own space downstairs, while the parents can have the upstairs. This is our second stay at Slopeside and absolutely love it. We were fortunate to have a couple of good snow storms which set lots of powder for skiing this year. The property manager is super attentive unlike any other. She thinks of everything. We will be back! :)
