About this property

BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ - THIS PROPERTY IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE IN WINTER
From November 1- April 15 please be aware that the Utah Department of Transportation and Town of Brighton rules about canyon travel require snow tires (3PMSF) or chains to make it safely up the canyon and to the home. Snow plowing on neighborhood roads is provided by local vendors and intermittent. Cottonwood Lodging does not have control over plowing. DO NOT TAKE UBERS OR LYFTS TO THIS PROPERTY. Plan to check in between 4pm-8pm at the latest to avoid unplowed roads if it is storming and note that this home can accommodate ONLY 2 vehicles.

Winter Guided Arrival:
- At the request of the town of Brighton to ensure that no one gets stuck or lost and disturbs the locals, a staff member will meet you on the main road and guide you to your property. Plan to check in between 4pm-8pm at the latest. This ensures we can provide assistance if necessary and helps to avoid unplowed roads if it is storming. Please do not arrive on your own even if you have stayed with us before. This keeps a positive relationship with the neighbors who appreciate it.

Great Vacation Home

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 came out with a few families and had a great time. The home is beautiful, roomy, comfortable, and very clean and open. The location is great but do take the company's requirement for 4x4 and snow tires seriously. The road is narrow and had a ton of snow on it.

Gorgeous New Construction

Xanadu is a gorgeous brand new construction cabin in the a gorgeous setting. It's a bit tricky to find and there truly is construction going on around you as other cabins are being built on all sides (wasn't a problem for us on the weekend, but be aware of the background noise of saws and hammering on weekdays). We loved the hiking trail right outside the front door. We loved the views and the mountain air. Cottonwood Lodging was responsive and professional hosts. We would rent here again!

Best group house

One of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed at. The kitchen had literally everything you would ever need to cook with. The house was new and immaculate. It is in the most beautiful location at the foot of some great walking and biking trails. We will for sure stay again!

Fantastic stay! Great location!

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: This new property was recently constructed and did not disappoint! The home had everything we needed and the custom fireplace was awesome! 4WD with dedicated snow tired is a must in the winter. We were guided in by Cottonwood Lodging employees which made finding the place super easy; it can be tricky as you have to access through the lower Solitude parking lot and it can be crowded. We will plan to stay here again!
