This house has everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay during our snowboarding week in the canyons! Cozy, comfortable and convenient! The views were amazing and being able to hop over the hill to the loft was perfect! We hope to return soon!
The house was great for our ski trip. The management team was very responsive to questions or issues. Kitchen was well stocked. Great TV room in the basement. Wood provided for the fireplace. Water Vaporizers in each bedroom. Sauna was popular. Only issue was the non-functioning hot tub. Great property.

La Vista house in Brighton was perfect for our three generation family of 13. Very spacious and well-equipped. The management was very responsive and helpful. The jacuzzi was not functioning for the first three days, but they did everything they could to get it running. We used AltaProvisions for grocery delivery and Susie did a great job.

Reviewer Comments:
This is an absolute unit of a cabin but still retains the immersive charm expected from a winter getaway. It is situated right on the mountain above Milly Express and is a true ski in/out, albeit slightly more difficult to ski back in than it was to ski out. The cabin itself has everything you could want and more - hot tub overlooking the slopes, indoor sauna, fully equipped chef’s kitchen (best stocked I’ve ever been to with truly excellent kitchenware), amazing entertainment areas, and plush comfortable beds capable of hosting multiple families. It had so many thoughtful touches that made it really feel like it was meant to be lived in and enjoyed, not simply a place to stay. Only complaint would be to fix the door closest to the hot tub - it was very cold running to and from the far door and the hot tub. A minor inconvenience in an otherwise unforgettable stay.
This beautiful house is nestled in a very quiet, scenic area, right at the base of Milly Lift. We wanted a ski in/ski out and it was literally less than 50 steps to where you would put your skis on and go. Accommodations were just as we expected and that is always very much appreciated. The kitchen was a favorite because it was absolutely stocked with everything we could imagine or hope for, the best kitchen we have ever had. The hot tub was wonderful and the sauna was a huge hit! The gas fireplace starter was super helpful and the ample stock of firewood in the garage was much appreciated. We had 10 adults and two babies and when we got there we realized very quickly that we were in need of a couple items for the babies that we hadn’t planned on. We texted Carole the property manager and her family/staff and were immediately taken care of. No matter what it was that we were in need of or had a question about the response was immediate and the help was quick and efficient. The only thing that we would say, for the future, is to put signs on the garage door alluding to how and where to park. It is in the book but often times we don’t look at the book until several days later.

Loved the house, location and staff. We missed the gas starter in the fireplace that was there last time. We had to ask to have the hot tub serviced and it was still dirty. A pin is missing from the grill lid. Liked that a spare gas tank was on site for the grill. Dry fire wood is still a problem.

We always know it will be clean, and the perfect place for our family to gather. The home is fully equipped for cooking meals and enjoying all that Brighton has to offer. Cottonwood Lodging, the property manager is superb. I can’t rave enough about how quickly they respond and how proactive they are to anticipate my needs. They are very accommodating and a pleasure to work with.
Great property for skiing access as it is ski in ski out.

La Vista is a beautiful home! was perfect for our family ski trip.
Beautiful, modern cabin and, as they say, it has the 3 most important features you want in a property: location, location, location! Right off of Milly Express lift, this was a perfect ski and snowboard cabin for our active family. Highly, highly recommend!
This house was amazing! Plenty of rooms and beds for our group, and being able to ski in and ski out was unbeatable! Owner's of the house had every appliance and kitchenware needed. Property managers were very communicative and easy to get a hold of! We hope this place is available for our trip next year!
Amazing property. Every appliance and utensil to cook gourmet meals. Oh and you can walk to the closest run in a few minutes and ski down to the lift. Great house.
What an incredible property! My wife and I got married at Brighton and we stayed here with our wedding party to use as a hub to get ready and for a little staycation as well. Such a fun and beautiful place! The property manager was very accommodating and she had excellent communication. We had a very fun and memorable time! Would love to come back in the winter! Thanks again!
We stayed at this property with a group of friends for skiing and had an amazing experience. The house was perfect - the kitchen was great for cooking for a large group, the house was well taken care, and we loved the hot tub and sauna. We came during an extremely snowy week, and the host was in constant contact about tractions requirements and weather alerts. They were even willing to accommodate leaving our cars in the driveway late on our check day when several feet of snow fell - although the road and driveway ended up being plowed very quickly so it wasn't an issue.
We couldn’t have asked for better. This home is in a convenient location for skiing. Very quiet. Great views. Large rooms and a master bedroom/bathroom that is amazing. All high end appliances in the kitchen. Loved the hot tub and sauna too. Make sure you do have snow tires and 4 wheel drive. We had 9 adults and 2 kids with us. Everyone enjoyed it. I would rent this again in a heartbeat. Very responsive owner as well.
The house is right next to the Milly Express - easy access in and out.
This was a big snow year so getting up the private road to the house was challenging - you must have 4WD or else you won’t make it.
The house is a little quirky. The 6th bedroom has a washer/dryer in it, no closet or hooks, and no access to a bathroom. Not really a bedroom except that it has a bed. We managed anyway.
The kitchen is great and there were lots of spices, etc. left over in the pantry, which was nice.
The management team was great - very responsive and accommodating.
Multiple light bulbs are out and should be replaced.
The queen size bunk beds are a hazard and unstable. The safety rails haven't been installed so they are unsafe for kids. There is no bracing or stabilization so the beds shake wildly with the slightest movement. They are cheap imports that must have been purchased online, there is no way any store could sell them.
House was fine otherwise.
