Rivamonte | A Brighton Vacation Rental

Rating:

House was perfect. Well stocked. Clean. Comfortable. Roomy. It snowed quite a lot week we were there which put a slight damper on our outside activities (being mid-April 2 feet of snow was not expected!) but we all enjoyed the coziness of the cabin and made a few short trips to town to visit museums an other indoor activities. My son did take advantage of the spring snows and skied several runs at Brighton

Great space - so clean, so much room, so close to Brighton resort and had everything we needed - highly recommend it!

We rented this house for guy trip to go skiing. The house was above our expectations. Very clean and updated. The fireplace was very comfortable. The house is located less than a 1/4 mile away from the lifts at Brighton. Probably not walkable with ski boots but still very close. The beds were clean and comfortable as well and the views of the woods in the back was great. The management was very responsive and provided very good information for our stay. I would definitely go back or recommend this house to a friend. The only draw back is that there is no hot tub which would be a great addition.

We just got home from the most wonderful stay. The house was perfect for two families with kiddos. Kids all slept downstairs. The house is right between Brighton and Solitude. We skied Brighton during the week. Then drove (maybe 3 min) to solitude on the weekend to avoid the Brighton crowds. Just the perfect location.

House was spotless and beautiful. Well equipped kitchen. We had groceries delivered. Cooked every night. House was warm and cozy (despite -11 temps outside!). We can’t wait to come back!!

This house was perfect for ski vacation. The only thing that did not make it flawless was no hot tub. Otherwise, the house had everything for a great ski vacation. We stayed two weeks and never once felt the need to go out to eat. If you are looking for a chance to bring family or friends together to bond this is the place!

This property was one of the most amazing rental properties our family has rented. The cabin is adjacent to the creek and the sound of the water flowing down the rock can be heard from the bedrooms while you sleep. During our stay, a moose and her two babies spent an afternoon grazing by the cabin. The place was immaculate and well stocked (kitchenware, puzzles/games, etc.). There were plenty of towels. Its within walking distance of Silver Lake.

Big, clean well laid out. Really pretty interior, high end. House is more luxurious than the photos... LOVED IT. We travel a lot, so we're tough critics. The yard was so fun for snow play! We had 8 people stay comfortably here! Love the downstairs den w/TV and access to tons of snow play just out the back door and on the wrap around deck! Toddlers, teens and tweens loved the house. We have all kinds of skiers in our family, some are advanced downhill, some new, some cross country. This house is next to Solitude's Nordic center, making it great for cross country skiers. It's a 15 walk to Brighton, 5 min drive to Solitude, but only our teens did the walk to Brighton. Little kids needed to be dropped off by car. Brighton is great family mountain. No frills, local mountain vibe and great intermediate skiing! House managers very responsive, that's very important to us! There's no store around, so we ordered our groceries online, picked them up on way up, along with wine and beer from state liquor store. This house was a great size, but felt cozy. We really enjoyed our stay, the heating system was great... it felt like home. Will be back next year!

This is a lovely cabin, with lots of room for family. Beautiful location with hikes that are within walking distance from the cabin.

Great house that is centrally located. Just a quick drive from Solitude and Brighton, and 40 minutes from Snowbird and Alta. The house was well furnished and equipped and was very clean. Recommended.

We travel a lot...might be the nicest place ever stayed. The insides are beautiful...and the house has the best of everything you could imagine or ever want. Easy spot to get in and out of - and very close to both ski slopes. The rental management were responsive and very good to work with. You will not be going wrong to choose this one.

Very nice property, well maintained. We will definitely do this again!

It was great. We have rented several properties such as this in the recent past and this one was by far the best.

I rented this beautiful house for a family reunion. We also scheduled a photographer to come take family pictures at the same time. The location was perfect for a family picture. Plenty of room to entertain, comfortable beds.

My siblings and I booked this cabin for our annual siblings trip. We had a great time, and were impressed with how clean the cabin was, how well stocked the kitchen was, and how beautiful the setting was. I really appreciated the large table with plenty of chairs so we could all eat together and play games at the table. The décor was perfect...nothing seemed out of place. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

All eight of us, ranging from 11 to 81, were very pleased with Rivamonte. It was about a half hour from Park City and Salt Lake City. The house is unique looking. Someone designed the house using raw wood or preserved wood in all of the interior rooms. The kitchen has good appliances and is well equipped. We loved the mountain creek behind the house. The house is next to the road but we did not hear the traffic.

Wonderful place for a family gathering. Plenty of room, a beautiful cabin, very convenient to Brighton and surrounding hikes, lakes, and beauty.

This cabin was absolutely beautiful!!! The inside was spotless and the décor was beautiful and went along very well with the wood beams and hardwood floors throughout the house. It was also very well stocked right down to hair dryers and extra shampoo and soap in the bathrooms,lots of books to read and even extra blankets in the living room to curl up with. Nice big dining room table and lots of extra chairs and plenty of living room space to sit in front of the fireplace or watch tv. The back deck was my favorite place to have morning coffee or relax a bit before dinner. Loved the sound of the creek in the back even thought it was running pretty fast with the snow melt. We loved being close to Silver Lake area too. We walked to it and around it almost every evening we were there. It's closeness to the ski resort (you could walk and avoid the traffic) would make it ideal for a winter get a way too!! I hope I get to come back and stay in this fantastic place again!!

I stayed at Rivamonte with a group of friends and we could not have picked a better location. Rivamonte is literally right off of Big Cottonwood Canyon Road, but you cannot hear any road noise at all. It's walking distance to trailheads for Lake Solitude, Twin Lakes, Lake Mary, and Lake Catherine. But my absolute favorite part (and everyone else's!) was the stunning deck that wraps around the house, with plentiful seating and a beautiful view of the rushing river! We have had a great snow year, so enjoying a drink while sitting in the sun listening to the water race past was one of the best parts of the weekend. Carole was easy to talk to and organize with - always available for any questions I had. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could need, and the decor was very rustic and welcoming. Beds were crazy comfy and we had plenty of space. Thank you so much for a perfect weekend!

Stayed here during the week I was getting married at silver fork lodge. Huge place! Lots of parking (which came in handy for get togethers and all the family constantly stopping by). We are living in NYC so many of our city friends loved the wood burning stove and the moose head! Also, by far the best stocked house I've ever rented. Lots of plates, utensils, pans for cooking a large meal. Two refrigerators. Lots of space. Perfect. No complaints whatsoever. Will plan to stay there next year our anniversary.

House not ready upon arrival at 4:45 p.m. but overall great experience.

My extended family and I really enjoyed our stay over a long President's weekend. The property is beautiful, tastefully appointed, fully equipped and, for skiers, ideally situated 3 minutes from Solitude and 1 minute from Brighton. Check-in and check-out were easy and the rental staff very friendly and helpful. The cabin is huge, warm (both physically and spiritually) and feels like home.

This is a super-nice property. Rent with confidence.

For context, we’ve done 2-3 vacation rentals per year for the last 15 years in 10 different states, VRBO and HomeAway and AirBnB and local agents. We are experienced renters. We’ve also rented other properties on the Brighton Loop; this is our 5th visit to Brighton Resort.

You can tell from the photos that the home and furnishings are high end.

You can’t see the hidden details that make this property even nicer than we expected and superior to 99% of other rentals – top quality mattresses and bed linens, radiant floor heating with separate thermostat in every room, well-equipped kitchen with quality knives, stocked spices cupboard, coffee-grinder etc. Every aspect of this property exceeded our (high) expectations. There are 2 twin beds in the loft in addition to 4 separate king / queen bedrooms.

I was a little worried, from Google maps, that the house might be too close to Cottonwood Canyon road, which is the main drag in and out and a busy road during ski season. But my worries were misplaced! The way the house sits on the lot – downhill from the road and behind huge snowbanks during winter – we couldn’t see or hear the road *at all*. There are only two windows in the whole house that have any view of the road – top floor loft and MBR bath looking downhill to the west. The views from the main living areas are unspoiled forest; the sound is silence! The house lives and feels like middle of the woods – but with easy access to Brighton or Solitude and first chair rides every morning.

Brighton Resort and Silver Lake are both easy ~10-15 min walks. Solitude is a ~5 min drive down mountain.

We’ll be back.

One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at. It is large, spacious, high quality, comfortable, every imaginable needed convenience, comfortable beds, huge fireplace and views out the back windows are incredible--deep forrest with large river and only a five minute walk up to Silver lake (so beautiful and peaceful) and Brighton resort. A wonderful family retreat! We will be coming back here
