Brighton Woods by Cottonwood Lodging

Brighton Woods by Cottonwood Lodging

Surrounded by towering pines near Brighton Resort, Brighton Woods offers five bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, a private hot tub, and close ski access for a memorable mountain getaway in any season.

Brighton Woods is a spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom cabin designed for families and groups traveling together. The home features three king bedrooms, two bunk rooms, a large kitchen, separate living and loft areas, and a heated outdoor patio where guests can relax beneath the trees after a day in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

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.
*Plan to arrive between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. during winter. 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. Ride-share vehicles may not meet winter traction requirements and may be unable to reach the home or return for pickup.

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.
Winter check-in must take place between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Please communicate your expected arrival time with Cottonwood Lodging in advance so a team member can meet you.

Great communication, everything was as advertised. I only have two minor things to add.1. The outdoor grill needs to be replaced. Missing pieces and a lot of grease in the bottom.2. It is ski in/out, as long as you don't night ski. The trail to get back to the cabin is closed after 4pm.I would stay here again.

Great stay all around - mgmt company is super responsive and helpful. Great skiing! Easy to walk up the hill and ski into Great Western for an experienced skier (probably slightly harder for a first-timer - but we had 4 year olds do it in light snow). House is great. Main floor floors are slightly cold, but it is cozy and perfect for families.
