Historic Home: The cottage was originally built in 1968 by a rocket scientist (true story). We are the 3rd owners of the home. The natural rock fireplace is made out of slate stone that the original owner gathered from the Storm Mountain area of the canyon which wouldn't be legal to do today. When we remodeled, we considered removing it but opted to keep as much of the historic features of the home while ensuring that it is comfortable, up to date with modern appliances and features and safe. Outside Space: The cottage is situated on a half-acre of private property with old growth Engleman spruce trees covering the area. Lounge on the large deck, fire up the gas BBQ or enjoy smores by the campfire outside your front door. Hop up in one of the hammocks and enjoy a good book or a nap with the cool mountain breeze as your companion! There is ample parking for 2 cars year-round. In the summer, there is space for a 3rd additional car if needed.

This cottage is in a residential area and showing respect to the neighbors is very important. Parties will be shut down and noise and other ordinances are enforced by local officials. We want your stay to be a great experience for everyone so if you're unsure if the cottage will work for your group, please reach out to ask and we will be happy to help. The grill is located on the back deck; however, it is not available for use during the winter months. Both the grill and the deck are considered summertime amenities, as the weather conditions make them inaccessible and unsuitable for use during this season. The property is equipped with a device that monitors smoke, carbon monoxide and noise levels (but does not record audio or video of any kind). It notifies the host if the noise level gets loud enough to disturb neighbors. We also have one camera outside of the chalet to monitor the property for your safety and security. Experience Solitude and Brighton in a way that you'll never forget!
