High Altitude Serenity

This is a comfortable cabin in a heavily forested area. We had a few rain showers each day but due to the time of year, the storms built up throughout the morning with brief rain in the afternoon. The cabin is situated within walking distance to the Brighton ski lifts and hiking trails. There is a general store and cafe nearby. They have a few basics... including canned oxygen :) The hot tub is dated and the jets are not overly powerful but the water was crystal clear and the beauty of looking up into mature Aspen trees cannot be beat. The area is very quiet even with how crazy busy the Brighton resort is every weekend. We enjoyed hiking the various trails found nearby. The kitchen has everything you need for preparing and serving meals. A doe and her fawn visited every morning and a family of chipmunks dwells in the rocks directly behind the house. The hosts are great and respond to texts within a few minutes. The large wood pile in the garage has a strong odor but it cannot be sensed in the upstairs main house. There is definitely a summer bug problem this year but we were warned so it wasn't a surprise. We enjoyed our high altitude stay in a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location.

Amazing stay in Brighton!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We traveled 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids under 6) to Brighton for the kids first ski trip. We loved the resort and this home. It was so spacious and had everything you could ever need. Such a nice bonus to have things such as olive oil, kitchen spices, dish soap, laundry needs, etc. We loved spending our days on the mountain and evenings at this lovely home. The location is perfect, just note worthy hills for little Kids you would need to drive to drive which was no big deal. Thank you again!

Great ski trip home! Spacious, comfortable, beautiful views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Uinta Lodge is a great place to rent for ski trips with a large family or large friend groups. The home has comfortable beds, awesome areas for games and spending time together after hitting the slopes. The only issues we had were the snowblower in the garage didn’t function properly and we had a few (3) mice get into our luggage. All in all what a beautiful place to rent for a ski trip at Brighton!

The home was clean and comfortable for our group of 9. There were a few lightbulbs that we had to replace. Also, we did not have an ice maker and there were no ice cube trays. Overall, a great rental.

Great for our family gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the house worked well for our family gathering. There are a few things that didn't quite meet my expectations. The lighting is very dated and doesn't give off much light. Perhaps that's part of the log cabin charm. The screens didn't fit tightly in the windows so we were fighting off flies. And the smell from the wood pile in the garage was not great. Those items aside, great place, great location, fun time.

The cabin was large and clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was just the right temperature and was cool to relax and watch the snowcats do there thing at night. The property management company was very accommodating and if I could give 10 stars I would. We will absolutely be back and thank you for a great trip!!

About as close to SISO as you can get at Brighton

Very cozy lodge. Listing as described. If you are going during the snowing season, please please please believe them when they say you need a 4x4 or AWD vehicle with snow tires. The neighborhood is remote and plows simply can't keep up with all the great snow you're going to get at Brighton. Also during the winter, definitely plan on not going back down to the city much once you're up here in the canyon: the canyon road traffic gets very congested each evening. But that's the whole reason you're staying here: to avoid all the traffic getting up here each day and to beat everyone to the slopes each morning. It's great.

One word: Incredible

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Uinta for a 9-day ski/snowboard trip with a group of friends. The place was truly awesome. Very roomy, comfortable and greatly situated close to both Brighton and Solitude. Carole and her team were a pleasure to work with and the place was well tended to during our stay, including someone coming to check the hot tub every few days. Our stay couldn't have been better. Just be sure to rent a 4x4 or you may have a little trouble getting stuck coming up the driveway ;-)
