Skied Brighton and Solitude and Snowbird from here. House had all we needed. Management company could not have communicated better.

Great place! Cabin in the woods not chalet. Not a bad thing, just setting expectations.

Great place, feels very homey. Tons of beds and plenty of space for a big family. We had a great time and loved the place. Would stay here again.

Perfect Vacation!

We had a wonderful two week stay at Blanche’s Retreat. It’s an excellent location for access to hiking near Solitude but also so easy to get down the canyon. The cabin was perfectly suited for our needs and the management company was quick to respond to anything we needed.

We had an amazing experience at this cabin! The place was incredibly spacious, clean, and had everything our family needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect getaway.The host was exceptional—very responsive, thoughtful, and proactive. There was a power outage in the area during the night, and the host immediately helped us with flashlights and quickly contacted Rocky Mountain Power to resolve the issue. The power was restored much faster than we expected, thanks to their quick action.We also truly appreciated the flexibility with early check-in and late check-out, which made our trip much easier with kids.Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely love to stay here again. Highly recommended!

Nice cabin close to ski resorts

Enjoyed renting this cabin. Very convenient to Brighton and solitude. Tucked away in the woods Easily sleeps 12. ( room for 8 in bunk beds downstairs ) Amenities are a bit dated but everything works and the cabin is well stocked. We had a great time.

Perfect House to Ski Solitude and Brighton

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blanche's Retreat was a perfect spot for a ski vacation. It is just 9 minutes from the Brighton parking lot. Located in the woods; it is quiet and serene with beautiful windows to watch the snow fall. Lots of beds, big couches, a giant is a win! They warn renters that during winter you need a 4WD car and it is necessary to navigate your way to the house. Would definitely stay again.

home in the woods

We really liked the privacy of the cabin. Sheltered in the trees, it seemed to be by itself and cozy. Many of the cabins were in clusters and had close neighbors. Our felt like it was just us. Safe and warm. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I hope we left it as neat and clean as it was when we arrived. Mary Lee

Great Mountain Stay!

I recently stayed at Blanche's cabin with a group of friends for a ski weekend at Brighton and Solitude. The location couldn't have been any better to access both mountains. The cabin had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and it was very well equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable! The only drawback was that it was about 30 minutes down the canyon to get to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The communication from the management company was fantastic! They were in touch prior to our stay and throughout the stay as well to make sure were were doing well. It was much appreciated! Overall, the cabin was fantastic for our ski weekend and we would love to come back!

6/10 Okay

Stay at Blanche's Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: In terms of the view and proximity to the slope at Solitude ski resort, spacious. Blanche's place was reasonable. However this place needs much improvements. Carpeted areas were dirty, kitchen needs a lot of care, organization and cleanliness. It is old and needs remodaling; appliances such as coffee maker, blender are old and found that they haven't been clean in while. there is no sink garbage disposal in kitchen sink. The area rugs are filthy. A lot of space but only two rooms have privacy. In summary will no be coming here in the future.

Wouldn’t stay here again

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was definitely big enough for our family of 6 and also very clean upon arrival. Other than that, it left a lot to be desired. One of the showers was broken and off-limits until the last day of our stay when a repairman fixed it in the afternoon. There was tons of water leaking in through the wooden walls and floor in the basement. Every single bed and pillow was so uncomfortable and none of us slept well while we were there. Lastly, and this is just taste, but it looks like the house was designed/outfitted 4 decades ago and not touched since then. A few small updates would go a long way with visitors.

Pretty great!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was big, with plenty of room, and definitely felt nice and cozy. Stayed with 6 other people, and we all had a great time. It definitely could have used some better cooking equipment. For instance, none of the knives were sharp, so trying to cook a meal was torturous (cutting chicken thighs? had to saw through them to cut anything. Annoying and dangerous). Also some better pans would be nice (most of the ones there were flaking teflon and so on). Also, no wi-fi. Plenty of phone data available, but having wi-fi would definitely have been nice.

Finley-Gillis stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our time. We found that the house was good for our needs and very conveniently located. The equipment in the kitchen was sufficient for everything we needed.We found the house a bit "run-down", especially for its price. We have rented a house in the Canyon every year for 6 years and have always been able to rely on price as a guide to the quality of the situation. This was a disappointing surprise.For example, the glass doors in the upstairs bathroom were in complete disrepair. The first day trying to open the door the entire assembly fell on me in the shower.The bathrooms are very, very small and have not been updated.Two people taking showers of approx. 10 minutes length each completely wipes out the hot water. Anyone else wanting to take a (hot) shower has to wait about an hour.I'm afraid we will not rent this house again and can't really recommend it to others.

Charming cabin with lots of character, great location

The location of this cabin is perfect for Brighton & Solitude, and it's not too out of the way to dip back into Salt Lake City for errands or further exploration. This place has infinite beds if you've got a big group. Very cozy living room. The woods surrounding the cabin are lovely. All wheel drive is imperative for getting to the cabin if there's snow on the ground, the road to the cabin aren't as well maintained as the main roads. Don't expect to make it in an Uber.
