We thought about never leaving
You know those stories about renters who just refuse to leave, frustrating landlords to no end? We almost became one of those. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Emily was great on the communication side and Alex was there everyday clearing snow (and there was lots of it). Nothing to do with the house but Brighton is fantastic too. Usually we rotate and go somewhere new each winter but this house could very possibly end that transience and bring us back for a repeat!

family ski trip
This house was amazing-- extremely clean, organized and uncluttered. More beds than we needed for a family of 5. 2 kitchens available. Hosts were very attentive. House was cozy and even had a Christmas tree. Hot tub was clean and very large. There is a shuttle to the resort but the walk is about 8 min. We found it easier to have one person drop off and pick up everyone and equipment, and then that person could just walk to the car. We stayed across from lift last year, but this house is much nicer and we would return to this one instead in the future.

Very comfortable, pretty location. It was useful having the two kitchens, as we used both ovens and dishwashers to feed a large group. We enjoyed the hot tub and had several moose that slept in the back yard. We hope to stay there again.

Probably one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The owner has thought of everything to make your stay amazing. Anything you could think of, it’s there!

Short Getaway
My daughter had her Western Gymnastics Championship in SLC, so we decided to make an extra 2 days of it. Was an awesome location and great hiking and scenery. Unfortunately all the ski resorts closed as well as restaurants but the Silver Fork Lodge was awesome for breakfast. Hosts were more than accommodating with helpful suggestions and instructions. Using the hot tub was icing on the cake! Thanks The Robben Family

Unique cabin at Brighton
Fantastic space with plenty of room and nice kitchen amenities including spices and basics like olive oil, condiments. Private hot tub which was nice and easy to use. Plenty of towels and everything obsessively labeled for location of items and instructions on what to do. Somewhat loud location right on Big C'wood Canyon road and a little precarious getting out onto road cuz of snowbank. 10 minute walk to Brighton base. Used car to get to Solitude and with carpool discount, parking is 5$--more convenient than public trans. Overall would recommend for large group.

Brighton Blast
Property was awesome. Emily and Alex were truly responsive before and during our stay. Cabin is a short walk to Brighton bus which took you right to the base of Brighton . We had a major storm roll in dumping 25" of fresh POW POW. So to say the skiing was spectacular is an understatement. Alex arrived at the cabin that night and cleared out the driveway and back deck of the 25" of snow. He also came inside and reloaded us up on supplies that were included in our stay. Great Cabin, Great location and Great Hosts. When we come back we would definitely stay at the Great Gretsky Escape.

Alex and Emily have been the best hosts through our week long snowboarding trip! They were super responsive and understanding with our arrival process. With most rentals, the kitchen is only partially stocked, not the case with the Gretsky House! Pots, pans, griddles, decent knives too! Everything an at-home cook could want. The rooms were well maintained with extra blankets and pillows, hot tub was exceptional with plenty of space, and the distance to the lifts was reasonable! Our entire group throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for all your help and assistance making our 13th Annual Snowboarding Trip a memorable one!

Don't wait on booking this wonderful cabin in Brighton! It's truly amazing. The Gretzke's have taken such care to make the home comfortable, cozy, efficient and well stocked! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need (and more). The hot tub is wonderful, the beds very comfortable. We had a large snowfall while we were there, and Alex come continuously to make sure the snow was cleared. Emily is completely fantastic at communication. We would rent this home again, without a second thought, when returning to Brighton. Truly charming in all ways.

Great ski house close to Brighton Ski Resort.
The house is across the street from Brighton Ski Resort and a short drive to Solitude. It is clean, well stocked and adorable. When not skiing our family of ten enjoyed the hot tub, foosball and TV. We loved the heated mat walkway to the hot tub. We found the hosts to be very responsive especially since it snowed a ton while we were there and Alex came over to shovel and snow blow several times. It was an awesome Christmas vacation house! Thanks Gretzkys! Laun & Sumner Family
