Slopeside Cabin by Cottonwood Lodging

  • Slopeside by Cottonwood Lodging

    This three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin features six separate sleeping areas, including a sleeper sofa, along with a gas fireplace, open kitchen, pool table, and ping pong table. Its lift-adjacent location makes it easy to ski home for lunch, take a midday break, or begin a summer hike right outside the front door.

    - Plan to arrive by 8:00 p.m. during active snowfall to reduce the likelihood of encountering unplowed roads.

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.

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations or amenities. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything we needed, which made settling in easy. One feature we especially loved was the boot and glove warmer—it kept all our gear dry, warm, and ready to go each day. The new washer and dryer were also a big plus and free to use.The upstairs views through the panoramic windows were stunning, especially with fresh snow falling. It was incredibly relaxing to enjoy the scenery while staying cozy by the fireplace and listening to music on the sound system.There was no shortage of entertainment either, with plenty of options like board games, video games, a large TV, cards, ping pong, and a pool table—something for everyone.What stood out most, though, was the owner’s outstanding communication. They took extra time to make sure we were comfortable, answered all of our questions, and checked in to ensure our stay was stress-free. Their helpful recommendations for groceries and local spots made the experience even better.

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!

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!

A guest can’t ask for a better location and experience than “Slopeside Cabin.” Kate and Bill are exceptional owners and hosts. There was nothing that we needed that was not included in the cabin — but had there been something, I have no doubt they would have seen to it that we received it. The location of this cabin to the slopes and Brighton Center is absolutely unmatched. We would 100% return if we ever come back to Brighton. Thanks so much, Kate & Bill!
