Winter Wonderland

Our annual ski trip was awesome at the Mackert Family Cabin. Our group of 16 had a blast! The rooms were beautiful. The cabin comfortably accommodated our group. The trees surrounding the cabin were amazing especially with all of the fresh snow. The kitchen had every appliance we needed. The hosts were very responsive. The cabin was immaculate. We would definitely stay again.

Wish we could have stayed longer

Our family enjoyed this thoughtfully designed, beautifully crafted home so much and wished we could have stayed longer. The homeowners, Shem and Susan, responded quickly to questions about detours and directions and even took the time to drop off cookies for us! Each family enjoyed having a private room/bathroom, and the kids had fun with the many games and activities provided. We also liked sitting on the porch listening to the birds and flowing stream, taking walks to the local country store and coffee shop, and seeing the nearby national parks and monuments. It’s a lovely place to make special memories with family!

Perfect home for family get away!

This home is spectacular-obviously built and furnished with love! Spotless, fully stocked. Beds are so comfortable-everyone in our group commented on their comfort. The welcome cookies were so appreciated after a long travel day. And the recommendation for Chef V was perfect-we had a wonderfully cooked birthday dinner and we all wanted her recipes! Would highly recommend this property!

All the comforts from home and more!

We had an amazing time! We had all the comforts from home and more. The kitchen had all appliances and kitchen tools we needed. The bath towels were plush and confortable. The kids loved all the gaming tables, ping-pong was a favorite. The cabin was modern and cozy. We were able to enjoy the gorgeous scenery from the big windows. And the kids love the sledding right outside the door.

Amazing ski cabin

It is easy to see how awesome the property is for families. Plenty of beds, amenities, the kids loved the foosball table. Family owned, they went through the extra cost to have snow shoveled and access plowed so we could have an easier time getting in. Who does that these days??? Super easy communication, amazing property, and wonderful people giving this place 6 out of 5 stars it was such a memorable skication for the grou

Winter wonderland

This is our second time staying at this cabin and we absolutely love it. The house is spacious and had everything we needed. We love how nice and quiet the neighborhood is and the kids can go outside and play in the snow and sled in-front of the house. The ski slopes are also very close, making it perfect for skiing with kids.

Great Family Get Away

My family loved our time at the Mackert Family cabin. There are spacious bedrooms and bathrooms which made our stay very comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would ever need to prepare meals. We spent time snowmobiling, snowboarding, and tubing at Brian Head resort, but my grandchildren’s favorite activity was sledding outside the cabin. The cabin is a great place to spend quality time together!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Z Mackert

Host profile image
Hi! We are Shem and Sue Mackert. Shem is a builder by trade and passion. Sue manages academics for two private schools. We have a large blended family, with one teen son still living at home and many grandchildren. We both love to ski. Our children (and now grandchildren) snowboard. In the summer we fish and ride bike trails or hike in Brian Head and surrounding areas.

Why they chose this property

We met while skiing on the slopes of Brian Head so this mountain is special to us. In 2018, with the help of our sons, we created our dream cabin in a quiet hollow in east Brian Head. We chose this property because the ground was flat enough for our grandchildren to safely run and explore. We also loved the little stream that runs through the property during the spring and early summer months and we loved how private and quiet the property feels, while still having easy access to the ski slopes and hiking trails. With every step of our planning and building we had the safety and entertainment of our grandchildren in mind. This is our dream and we love sharing it with others who appreciate the hand-crafted details. Our cabin is named Bennett's Creek after a grandchild who passed away the year our cabin opened.

What makes this property unique

Step inside this new and modern twist on an old frontier home featuring large timber posts, custom crafted doors and furniture, and an abundance of natural lighting pouring through the large wall of windows. Trimmed with metal brackets, stone and beams stained to appear aged, this cabin has all the comforts of home.

Kick back on the leather sofas and watch satellite TV or warm up after a day on the slopes by the gas fireplace. When you are rested head to the fully stocked kitchen to create a feast for your group, or keep the cook company as you lounge at the breakfast bar. Don't want to cook? Ask about our private chef option! Downstairs you'll find a second living area with a bar, TV and another gas fireplace. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy a game of pool, or lounge over a movie or game of chess.

On the top floor you'll find an open loft with foosball, ping-pong, and a second loft above the bunk beds for a dream kid hideout. If the teens need a quiet hangout they can go into the private game room where they will find another smart TV, gaming options, and a sofa sleeper for extra sleeping options.

Step outside to the wrap around deck to breath in the fresh mountain air. The property is beautiful and wild and you can enjoy this view from the wide porch that wraps around three sides of the cabin. You might spot a deer among the pines, a baby fox, or a variety of birds. Choose one of the swing benches made from old ski lifts or cozy deck furniture around a gas fire pit. In the summer roast marshmallows over the fire pit in the yard where there is always plenty of chopped wood for your use.

No matter which bedroom you choose you will have a comfortable night's rest for the next day's activities with upscale Marriott mattresses, comforters and linens.
