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.

Cabin is fantastic, location is a couple minutes down the road from Brighton/ Solitude. Road a bit hairy in the winter with the snow but no problem for an SUV. Suana and hot tub were diving after a long day of skiing! Can't wait to be back!

Wonderful place. Tons of amenities. Warm and cozy. Great location for local skiing. Couldn’t think of a better place for a large (8) group. Would definitely go back!

Even though we skied PC 2 days, the house is so special that the travel time to PC was worth it. Only concerns we had were the hairpin turn was completely ice over making it impossible to reach the house. We had to park at a neighbors house near the hairpin. I called the Mayer to request treating the surface with cinders. He got to it the following day. Also we could not turn on the sauna I could not reach Mark for instructions so I texted the manager. She was not very helpful. None the less we were very happy with our stay! Thanks Mark

Mark's home made the perfect base for accessing all the best resorts in Utah. With Solitude and Brighton up the street and Snowbird and PC within an hour a drive, the convenience made for a low effort trip. Make it a point to walk down to the Silver Fork Lodge for a plate of meatloaf and the beer and shot special. Spoiler alert: it's Hamm's and Old Crow. Mark's home had everything you need to entertain yourself on OFF days. The hot tub was large and the sauna got HOT. To work out any soreness I'd recommend the Jane Fonda fitness VHS. Could not have asked for a better place to rest up in between hitting the slopes.

We had a wonderful trip to Marks cabin. He was extremely responsive during our stay. The sauna was the best!

Great place, communication was excellent, advise all deliveries to meet at silver fork restaurant as road is somewhat new and difficult. Close to Mtns with great amenities

Wonderful experience of skiing at 4 excellent nearby ski resorts. Relaxing at night with a hot tub, dinners on the grill, and playing games by the fire. Younger adults could congregated and be rowdy in the lower level bar/living room, while the old folks turned in early upstairs. Could'nt ask for more.

House was beautiful, exactly like the pictures. We especially loved the living room fireplace and large windows overlooking the mountains. House is very clean and Mark was very responsive to any questions. The downstairs was perfect for our college age son and his 2 friends with fireplace, bar and hot tub outside. Great vacation! 4WD vehicle is a must in the winter.

This cabin home is nothing short of perfect. Not only is it impeccably decorated and fully equipped with amenities that are above and beyond, but its location is very convenient to both Brighton and Solitude ski resorts. The Silver Fork restaurant is within walking distance. The owner is very responsive to all of our questions. This has been my favorite Vrbo so far! *FYI: you really do need a 4 wheel drive for the road leading to the home in the snow*

Mark was awesome, very responsive, accessible, and accommodating throughout our stay, a beautiful home in an even more beautiful location.

If you are looking for the perfect mountain experience then look no further. This home and its hosts are fantastic and would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Big Cottonwood Canyon!

First Class cabin experience. Mark was an excellent host and was readily available to provide assistance with the property. The cabin itself is fantastic. High ceilings, great layout, and the Sauna/Hot Tub were perfect after a day of skiing. If there is snow on the road, be sure you have four wheel drive or chains, as the road is a bit steep. Would definitely return. Thanks Mark!

The house is amazing, beautifully decorated and very spacious. We were 4 adults + 6 kids on a ski vacation and we had a blast, plenty of room, plenty of games for the kids.We loved the huge drum table in the main living room. The sauna and jacuzzi are great.Just few min drive to Solitude ski resort.Reaching the house does require 4x4 or chains - no way around it in tough snow conditions.Will definitely recommend as a place to spend time in the area, Regards,Michael.

This property is beautiful! Just as described. Unfortunately, we started our stay when Corona hit and everything closed. Mark worked with us and gave us a refund. I hope that we can stay at his property in the future. He was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

This house was great, beautifully decorated, great layout and wonderful view. Very close to ski mountains. No complaints at all.

This was everything we could have asked for. A beautiful home in a wonderful setting, Mark was easy to work with & everything went extremely smooth!

We were only there at night and in the morning so even in the middle of summer, it was perfect without A/C. Two of us bought box fans to sit in the windows at night and left them there for future renters. We definitely had to run the humidifier at night with the air being so dry. We LOVED the dry heat though!! I don’t think there was anything we didn’t like about our entire trip! They have definitely have made this cabin a home away from home! ❤️

We had a great stay at the cabin. We were two families, so the layout of the house was great for all the parents and kids to spread out and have their own space. It snowed a lot during our stay and we definitely were glad to have the 4X4 wheel drive vehicle. The game room with Foosball was a big hit with our teens. The hot tub was a big bonus as well. We skied at Solitude for three days and the proximity to the slopes was amazing; less than 2 miles away. It's a secluded area, though, and an hour round trip to even get groceries. The owner had communicated that to us before, so it was not a surprise. We did our shopping before arriving to the cabin. I would absolutely stay here again if traveling to the Solitude area. There was a roof avalanche during our stay, which the owners had also warned was possible. There is nothing they could do to prevent that. All in all, it was a great home and a wonderful family ski trip.

we were a group of 8 and really enjoyed all the features of this home

We really enjoyed our week long stay in this beautiful log cabin. The detail that went into the construction is amazing. The owners and the caretaker were great and were always available to answer questions. Tons of room to spread out, bedrooms very comfortable, kitchen and dining area large, great room spectacular, playroom and bar fun, hot tub soothing, decorations unique. The internet is finicky, but we know the owner is working on it. Not necessarily a bad thing. This property is everything it advertises and the 5-star reviews are consistent with our wonderful stay. You definitely need 4 wheel drive in the winter and the trip into town for groceries is a 1 hour round trip drive (pretty though). We would recommend cooking in when possible as the restaurants (St Bernards and the Pizza/Ice Cream place in Solitude Village) seemed to really have gone downhill since our last visit. Silver Fork is the closest good restaurant at the bottom of the hill (in my opinion). Ski rentals at the bottom of the hill as well. Good equipment and prices. Ask for Anthony. He was great. So if you are headed to Utah and want beautiful scenery, peace and quiet away from the resorts, a location 5 minutes from Solitude, and an amazing place to stay----book this property!

great place views are stunning
