About this home

Welcome to 7987 Brighton Loop! A truly one-of-a-kind mountain cabin tucked along Brighton Loop, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath retreat is unlike anything else in the canyon. Full of character and thoughtfully re-designed for mountain living, the property features a full mother-in-law apartment, heated flooring, a heated driveway, a large patio with sweeping views and a unique private yard that creates an incredible setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying long summer evenings in the canyon. The combination of unique charm, functionality, and flexibility makes this a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Big Cottonwood. Beyond the cabin itself, the property offers compelling rental potential. The separate mother-in-law apartment provides added flexibility for guests, extended family, or nightly rental use, while the property's location and unique character create strong appeal for those seeking a mountain getaway. Best of all, the home offers ski-in access from Brighton Ski Resort, putting world-class winter recreation right at your doorstep. In the warmer months, Big Cottonwood Canyon transforms into an outdoor playground, with miles of hiking and biking trails, climbing, fishing, camping, and endless opportunities to explore the Wasatch. In winter, Brighton and the surrounding canyon offer exceptional skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and backcountry access. Whether used as a private retreat, family gathering place, or income-producing mountain property, this is a rare chance to own a truly distinctive cabin in one of Utah's most sought-after recreational destinations.
