Brighton, Utah
The Big Cottonwood Cabin, minutes from Solitude and Brighton ski resorts in the heart of the famous Wasatch Range, and a short drive to Alta and Snowbird, is a unique hand-crafted log home built in 1997 by a Master Craftsman. Furnishings include many original rustic log creations, each one a piece of art. Four bedrooms have queen beds, and the fifth has a bunk bed with full bed on bottom and twin bed on top.
The 3500 square foot cabin is carefully and tastefully decorated with each room having its own special ambiance. Enjoy the great room with its massive riverstone wood burning fireplace, or the game room with its own massive wood burning fireplace and attached full bar, or just relax in the private outdoor six person Jacuzzi.
The Smoke-Free Cabin has magnificent views of Solitude, Silver Fork and Big Cottonwood, and with it's southerly exposure, sunny afternoons will draw you to the exterior deck after a long day of hiking, skiing or just playing in the snow, where, if not careful, you can get sunburned even in the middle of winter.
No expense has been spared in the creation of this magnificent view log home, less than one mile to Solitude, two miles to Brighton and 45 minutes to Alta and Snowbird. Enjoy a vacation you will never forget in first class accomodations.

lots of space, good beds, nice hot tub, well stocked, only problem we had is 4 ft of snow kept us from driving in and had to walk in due to big snow. owner responded well and got a plow out next morning.
The house is well set up for a large group! Bottom floor with bar and game room is great! Living room on main floor had room for our whole group to watch a few bowl games. The barrel sauna and hot tub were huge bonuses! Great place for a larger group!
We really enjoyed our 5-night stay at this beautifully designed and decorated log home. There was a lot of room for everyone and it was all very clean!! We appreciated the story of the decor as it added character to our time there. One of the nice features was the hiking trail just up the road from this home. We did that hike at least 2 times during our stay. The deck and living room had incredible views. We didn't use the fireplace or hot tub or sauna, but we would have if we had time. Our days were full. The location was great for hiking of any kind. That was our main focus, so the location was really important to us. We would recommend this place to groups that like separate areas or families with 6+ people.
This cabin is easy to get to from SLC and in a beautiful setting. There are so many woodsy, charming details. The cabin is very well equipped and there are many thoughtful amenities - throw blankets, space heaters, flashlights, nightlights, extra pillows, games, spices and condiments, and even an electric tea pot. The beds were comfortable and it was very clean. We really enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. We would definitley stay again!
We all fell in love with this beautiful log home. Fires every night, Jacuzzi and sauna after a long day of amazing skiing, games and so much more. The view of mountains are spectacular. Would love to stay again. Theresa and family
Beautiful property and very comfortable accommodations. Our two families fit perfectly. Owner Mark is very easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful. Great to have the hot tub and the sauna! Just as an fyi, chains are needed to get up the turns and inclines to the property when it snows (having AWD or snow/ rain compatible tires as recommended for the sticker program in Cottonwood Canyon was not enough for us). Renal car companies do not allow chains on their vehicles and do not have studded snow tires as an option, so make sure you have back up options for transportation!
Property was great and close to Solitude and other mountains. Would stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Big Cottonwood cabin. Beautifully appointed log cabin. Host provided detailed information prior to our arrival so we knew what to expect. Note: Rent a 4 Wheel drive!
Just a fantastic spot! Not far from Brighton or Solitude. This spot was perfect for our family “uncles trip”. The cabin was packed with EVERYTHING we needed. Crock pot scents after a day on the slopes? Grill worked out for NFL playoff wings. Decor and little extras went a looong way. A word about location: this cabin is at the top of a private road with some hairpin turns. 4x4 and snow tires REQUIRED. Our 4x4 van was actually too large to make some turns. Plan accordingly. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks to the great hosts for amenities and communication!
The property was excellent. Authentic log cabin in the middle of a canyon. Beautiful inside setup, from wall decorations to furniture. Convenient layout for 8 people (2 families). Everyone had their own room for the night and place to chill. Outside was beautiful as well. Lots of snow and nature and beautiful view out the window. Roads suck, but we've been warned so that's not on the host. We got stuck going up in a Q3 quattro with decent tires. Should have followed Mark's suggestions and gotten the chains, but who knew, we're city people. If you come here in the winter, definitely get a 4*4 car with chains or a lifted truck. Also try to go up the small roads in one shot, don't break. That's how we ultimately ended up going up. Sand doesn't really help. You basically have to slide back down to a flat area and gun it until you get to the house. Turn around and park facing down. If you're snowed in, you won't be able to turn around in that driveway. Also, lost power due to snow one of the days. Ended up staying in and building a puzzle. Plenty of board games and analog entertainment (books, puzzles, ...). Unfortunately no generator. Fireplace works fine. Had that going the whole day to keep warm. Location was good. Basically I'm the middle of nowhere. If you're planning to come here in the winter and ski Park City, it's probably not the best location. It's fairly close on the map, but the through canyon roads are closed until May. You have to go back up through SLC which is about a 50 min drive with no traffic. The day it snowed the drive was almost 2 hours due to a couple accidents. Get food ahead of time. The nearest store is 30 mins out. Plenty of spices and sauces at the house, but get water and everything else. Overall a good experience and an excellent host. Mark kept us up to date on the power outage and was available to answer any questions throughout the stay. Would stay again with proper planning.
The home was beautiful, location beautiful and so much to do. We had issues getting to the house and the snow made the vehicles get stuck when we arrived. However once we had 4wd and chains it was no problem at all. The family had a great time!
The cabin was everything we were hoping for. It's in a great location. We wanted a place to get away to hike and relax. There are great hiking locations within walking and driving distance from the cabin and the cabins layout and view were great for relaxing after a day outside.
My family enjoyed staying in this cabin so much! We would go hiking on the trails that were right by the house and took a few adventures just about an hour away. It was the perfect location for all that we had planned.
