Great Location

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.

Possibly the best place I’ve ever stayed

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 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.

Best place in Brighton

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!

Awesome luxury getaway!

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Wonderful Slopeside

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.

Perfect and great way to spend my 60th birthday!

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.

Great Location - Need 4WD

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.

Do not publish

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.

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.

Wonderful home with plenty of space

We were a group of 10 (2 families) who stayed for 6 days in mid-December 2021. The house is beautiful, has everything you might want or need and then some - with a few caveats. While it is *technically* a ski in-ski out, the Milly Express lift which is near the house was not running so it was more of a ski out and hike back, up a large mountain. The youngest in our groups could not do this without adults carrying them, which when you have skis poles, ski boots, up a VERY steep incline, is near impossible. We made the best of it and enjoyed the house with the views and all the snow! There were at least a dozen lights out across the house including half the primary bathroom vanity, the sauna (it's pitch black without a light!), and living spaces. The kitchen is outfitted with almost everything (ALL the oils, spices, teas, pantry staples, pots and pans, dishes, etc.) except the crock pot lid! Also beware the toaster because it will burn everything and will only stop if you unplug it. Fire hazard for sure! Lastly, the neighborhood requires 4WD or AWD to access it, so if you rent a car or hire a driver, make sure they're equipped to get up the mountain! Ultimately, none of us wanted to leave and were so glad we stayed where we did. It was an awesome experience and we'd recommend it to anyone.

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.
