Overall our vacation rental experience was a positive one. Although the place had been missed during the cleaning schedule, the rental company made things right and reimbursed us without hesitation. They worked with us and were extremely upset. Other than that one negative, there were many positives. The house was well stocked with bedding, towels, kitchen utensils, and detergent. The beds were firm and comfortable and the sofa was large and also comfortable. The location made it easy to walk to the slopes and Molly Greens! The manager was attentive and responded within minutes to any questions. The only suggestion is to purchase two new duvet covers. Will definitely stay here again!
Beautiful place. Perfect place.

We loved this home. Well-kept. Great amenities. The 1st floor load-out place was perfect for containing the snow (it snowed every day and night). Kitchen was well-stocked with typical needs. Hot tub was clean and hot. The location can’t be beat. I would definitely choose this place again.
Great place!

First of all EPIC snow this year at Brighton. The house was terrific for the size of our ski group. It is less than 100 yards from the Great Western lift so getting a chance at making first tracks was everyday if you wanted. We only had one issue with the grill outside and Jess responded to remedy the minor issue. Great work taking care of the guests. We will be back.

The host was great. At the last minute we asked to stay a little longer because of illness and they were very accommodating. It helped make our trip go much smoother. It was a great location and nice house. We were very happy with our stay.

The Great Western house is a beautiful and nice. We enjoyed the open concept kitchen and living room. We saw a couple moose from the upper porch on several days of our stay. It was very convenient for our wedding party

We had just a couple issues:

None of the TV technology worked up or downstairs. Even those who are very tech savvy could not get it to work. The remotes did nothing.

The manager was very responsive to the issue with the coffee maker and garbage disposal. We received a new coffee maker and the GD was fixed promptly.
Manager Response:

Response from Cottonwood Lodging Company/Mount Majestic Properties

Thank you guys! I apologize for the TV issues. I was unaware there was an additional issue until you left this review. Currently, there seems to be no issues with the internet TV. Confusion may have resulted because there is no longer satellite TV at the house due to provider problems. There is only internet TV which still has the entire channel lineup. We regret we were not able to catch and fix this issue as well before you left. Carole
Awesome!

We loved our stay at the Great Western. The house had plenty of space and was equipped with everything we needed. Staff was polite and proactive to make sure all was well. Best thing was the location - right near the Great Western lift and the Brighton Lodge area.

We had an awesome time with our family of 11. The property was just a short walk to the ski lifts and commercial areas of the resort. The house was great just a little difficulty to regulate the heat up and down as it was in the teens at night. Overall a great experience with this property.

Brighton Resort is perfect for families new to skiing. Economical, not very crowded and great ski school. This is a short walk to the base, though still had to drive the little ones. Upstairs has 2 BRs and a loft that the kids slept in. Downstairs had 2 BRs and it was a little chilly compared to the main 2nd floor. I could see older kids being fine down there but not our's. Nice hot tub. Overall, no issues and would definitely rent again. This was our first VRBO rental and one should be aware that about 20% of add'l fees and taxes are not included in the original quote.

We stayed at the Great Western with 7 people from 2 families. We were very pleased with the accommodations and the chance to stay together. The location near the Brighton lifts was great and enabled us to come and go separately, which was a real treat.

Great Western was an amazing property ... one of the best I have stayed at and I travel a lot. Access was unbelievable easy. The Great Western ski lift at Brighton Resort is literally right across the street so we never had to drive. It was easy to come back to the house for lunch or a quick break. There was a comprehensive PDF document on the property and the area. The location can't be beat and the house has the perfect lay out. Mount Majestic was a great management company that is based locally in Brighton. Carole responded quickly, thought of everything and took care of anything we needed. We will definitely keep coming back to this location. Thanks!

This is our third stay at Great Western. First of all it’s such a cozy place. The management is always helpful and amazing. If you Ski it’s great to just walk out the door and get on the lift. It’s clean and there is a great functioning kitchen with just about all you need. New furniture this trip. My son always enjoys the hot tub that is always hot and on for you. See you next year Carole

Had a great stay at the Great Western. The only problems we encountered was the hot tub tripped the breaker but we were able to get it back up and running. The fire detectors kept beeping so we had to remove the batteries. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
Manager Response:

Response from Cottonwood Lodging Company/Mount Majestic Properties

We apologize for the inconveniences. We have a maintenance crew always on call to take care of any issues. To prevent these issues from occurring again, we routinely change all the batteries in the early winter before the busy season. We apologize this did not occur until after your booking. The owners of Great Western have also replaced the breaker with a new one. Thank you for bringing these things to our attention so that we can make ever effort to have things in perfect order for our guests. We hope you come stay with us again. Carole

Used the property for a summer retreat of friends from many states. It works really well. The only unexpected issues was with the loft access as we didn't realize ahead of time that it will only be accessible by a steep ladder.

Twelve family members stayed in this house for three days while attending wedding festivities in the area. The home was clean and spacious (with the exception of very dirty windows),and everything worked out great. The best part was the moose who visited early each morning and late afternoon to munch on the bushed in the backyard.
