'Scenic Retreat' Brian Head Cabin - Mins to Resort

Reviews

• Great location

  4/5

  The cabin's location was perfect for hitting the slopes. The number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and common space was excellent and well suited for our family. The problem with this cabin (why it got 4 stars) was the smoke detector rang with EVERY meal we cooked.

  Manager's Response:

  Owner says: "Thank you so much for reviewing our cabin! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the open great room floor plan of our cabin. I am sorry to learn the smoke detector was problematic during your stay. We have never heard this issue before or had this experience ourselves when staying at the cabin so we have checked the smoke detector to ensure it is functioning properly. We hope to welcome you back to Scenic Retreat again in the near future!"

• Good property

  4/5

  Good size property in a good location. Cabin has a good layout and is clean. As others have mentioned, the driveway up the hill is super tricky and we stressed getting to the cabin every time. The appliances and all worked well other than the oven. The fireplace remote was out of battery and the TV remote was low as well. Contact was made to the manager with initial response then we were ghosted. Nothing was resolved and we had to make due with the outdoor grill.

  From the owner: "Hi Dolly, Thank you for your feedback on our cabin. We take our guest comments very seriously and appreciate your candid comments on how we can improve. Since your stay, we have taken over guest correspondence and changed the on-site team to hold our on-site team more accountable for our guest's experience and us. Although I know, that doesn't help your experience. It is guest comments like yours that assist us with making sure our guests have an amazing stay with us! Thank you for your positive remarks about the location and cleanliness of our cabin. We agree; the location, views, and open floor plan make our cabin a special place to visit! Feel free to contact me if you ever plan on coming to the Brian Head area. I would be happy to assist with your next visit personally. Thanks!"

• Family Get Away

  4/5

  Had an amazing time with our family. Had enough room for the parents to play poker upstairs while the kids played card games or watch tv/movies downstairs. We didn't expect it to snow, but when it did, it was the most beautiful view ever from the house. The upstairs had plenty of windows to take in the amazing views. The only thing that I would recommend is to make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle to get to the house. You have to go up a steep hill that is either pretty icy or really muddy during winter. If I can request one thing, I would ask for the cabin to provide a new set of knifes. Other then that, we had an a great time and can't wait to come again.

  From the owner: "Hi Nancy, Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and we will definitely look into getting a new knife set. Also appreciate your comments about 4 x 4. This is an accurate comment. We have taken over communicating directly with our guests to ensure this is clearly articulated when guests book our cabin. Hopefully this will help future guests as well. Thanks!"

• A great adventure

  5/5

  Me and my family had a great getaway !! The house was prefect for us with all the comfort needed.

  The view was breath taking and we could not ask for more snow. The ski conditions were great.

  We had an amazing time. !!

  I will go back again and again.

• Driveway needs to be highlighted

  3/5

  The house itself is very nice and clean, and the views are great. Having said that, a couple of issues:1. In no way does this house sleep 12. there are 3 small bedrooms sleeping 2 each max, a master, and a pullout couch in a common room downstairs. That's 10 assuming everyone is doubling up in the full's. So unless you're sleeping people on the couches in the common room that gets full morning sun at sunrise, or people are sleeping on the lazyboys in the master, this only sleeps 102) The driveway is gnarly. We could not get our frontwheel cars up in the winter with chains. We could not get a 4wd drive truck up with snow tires. the only thing we could get up was a jeep that we were super lucky to bring. so DO NOT RENT if you do not plan to bring cars with EXCELLENT ice and snow traction in the winter!!!

  Hi Bryan, we're glad you found this home clean and enjoyed your stay overall!
  - We do not advertise that the home sleeps 12. The listing states that it sleeps 11 people, and we advertise all sleeping options.
  - We also note that a 4WD vehicle is necessary in the winter months, and chains are needed if snow is expected. The owner has requested that we make this more obvious in the listing, which we are working on.
  - We confirmed that the listing is 100% accurate. We encourage guests to thoroughly review the listing before confirming their reservation to ensure they find the perfect vacation home for their needs!
