The Brighton Chalet is centered in the heart of Utah's Brighton Ski Resort area where, at an elevation of 8,755 Feet, we have a higher base elevation than any other Utah ski area! And with an average snowfall of over 500 inches per year, it's no wonder why we open our doors and ski runs first each season! We are located in Brighton, Utah, just 19 miles east of Salt Lake City at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. During the summertime, Brighton is peaceful and serene, but not lacking adventurous activities! You can cast your fishing line into the nearby Silver Lake, which is constantly filled with trout. Not into fishing? You can leisurely wander around the lake enjoying the beautiful views of nature on the environment-protecting boardwalk. These activities are an easy 5-minute walk from our chalets. For those in search of a more difficult hike, there are four beautiful mountain lakes that constantly draw the attention of the ambitious hiker. The popular Guardsman's Pass mountain biking trails bring spectacular views and perfect terrain. Photographers have a heyday at Brighton because of the many amazing images to capture which include fields of the famous Brighton wildflowers. The views captivate tourists as well, who are making their way to Chalet Utah. After exploring the area and taking advantage of the many activities, most days end with a relaxing evening BBQ.
Skiers and snowboarders enjoy an easy 1-minute walk to the Brighton Ski Resort lifts to experience the lighter-than-air snow! Positioned just across the street from Brighton Resort's Milly Express, Our Brighton Chalets provide easy access to the mountain resort! Thanks to the over 500 inches of powder each winter, Brighton's famous “Highest Base Elevation of 8,577 Ft.” is the best wintertime skiing in the area. No one gets more snow than we do! With the abundance of snow located right in our backyard, wintertime activities include skiing and snowboarding at Brighton Resort, cross-country skiing at Solitude's Nordic Center, and snowmobiling over Guardsman's Pass, to mention the more vigorous activities. Everyone, even the seasoned locals, is awestruck by the pristine beauty of Brighton's winter wonderland, the epitome of the “Greatest Snow on Earth.”
Guest Access:
All of our units include access to a hot tub, free high-speed Internet, fireplaces, and plenty of jetted tubs! We are located across the street from the Brighton Resort's Milly Express lift and the LDS Church (The Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints). Just 19 miles east of Salt Lake City at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon.

This location is super close to allow for walking to the ski lifts. The Majestic portion of the chalet has amble space for our group and was well provisioned. We will definitely stay here again if it available for a future trip!!
We had a wonderful time at the cozy and beautiful property. The hot tub was a hit with the kids and adults alike. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. Loved waking up to such a beautiful view.
Perfect place for our family reunion! Big gathering areas indoor and out, nice big bedrooms, we'll- stocked kitchen with extra ice maker and 2 fridges, across the street from the ski resort, trail heads, a cool LDS Church that rings a bell for Sunday services, and just down from a lovely lake stocked with trout and a wheelchair accessible trail.
We came up for a wedding and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The hot tub was a favorite, and so close to Brighton where the wedding was taking place. There were no sheets in the condo for the couches, but one of the owners, Kathy I think, was there and hooked us up. She was amazing and kind. It was perfect and we had enough room for our family!! Thank you. Check in was super easy!!
We arrived to a messy home, no cleaning had been done from the previous people. Cleaners arrived within an hour. It wasn’t ideal, but everyone jumped on the issue right away. The location is amazing, definitely worth the stay for what we wanted.

Needs improvement
Great location, chalet has good space distribution. We were disappointed that the place felt like a college dorm (poor finishes and broken furniture), bathroom shower curtains had orange mildew and bad odor, king bedroom sink leaking on towels, overall needs a good coat of paint, carpets cleaned or replaced, BBQ falling apart, hot tub area needs rubber mats, had issue with breaker that was never resolved (slept w no heat, could not charge phones), annoying chat GPT replies to inquiries.
Awesome property and we enjoyed our stay! The only thing that wasn’t perfect is staying in the basement condo. We would have liked to see that on the property details so we knew before hand. Guests upstairs were fairly rowdy and we could hear footsteps pretty loud down there. Other than that no complaints. Hot tub was awesome to have. Thanks again
Chalet Utah is literally across the street from the milly express lift. No need to drive. Shuttle bus stop is walking distance so you can jump on that and get to Solitude, Snowbird and Park City. Property manager was very quick to resound to emails and messages. There were 4 of us and it was comfortable. It sleep's 11 if you put 2 in each bed and count the pullout sofa in the living room. However the unit would be very crowded with 11 people. I would def rent again if I come back to Brighton

Nice Property.
The property was nice and was clean. Listing did not state that the property was in a basement unit with long very steep steps to get to the front door. Had elderly parent with us which made it difficult for them to come and go. Kitchen accessories where all labeled with the amount of each item in the kitchen, but there was nowhere near that many of each item in the kitchen. We had 1 fork. When we ask the property managers, we were told we should have brought our own. Overall the property worked for our needs of attending a weekend wedding in the mountains.
How can you beat walking across the street to access the lift. Then at the end of the day ski across the parking lot to the street. Pick up your skies and walk across the street. The shuttle to Solitude was just up at the main Brighton Lodge an easy walk with boots on and again ski back to Brighton and back to the condo.
The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything you could need.
We did have a problem with a blown breaker in the kitchen. I sent 2 messages and got no response. I managed to find a unlocked utility room and found the breaker box. Problem was solved.
Overall it was a great stay.
Team Slacker.
This is our second time at this property
It works so well with our family all of our kids are grown up and have moved out it allows us to all be in the same house with our own space it’s a perfect place to get away with beautiful views and excellent amenities
Thank you
Powder, powder, powder...the skiers were in their glory...days with non stop snow made one feel like we visited Narnia. The staff were so helpful and responded quickly to help our family have an amazing holiday. House was perfect for our group of 12...adults and children...plus there were convenient hooks for clothes and towels...something that is lacking in so many rentals...thank you!
