Cozy Cottage Near Ski Lifts!

Special rates do not include nightly pet fee if applicable. **

Located at 9,600 feet in the heart of Brian Head, Lazy Bear Cottage is in a perfect location spring, summer, fall or winter! Why rent a condo with potentially noisy neighbors when you can have a cottage to yourself!

It is located between the two main lift areas (a half mile from both lifts) and on the ski shuttle route. It is a quick 10 minute walk to the ski lifts, restaurants and the General Store. During the winter, there are miles of cross-country and snowmobile trails throughout the area. There are also snow tubing and sledding hills for kids of all ages!

When the snow has melted, the Brian Head area offers some of the best hiking, mountain biking and trails in Utah. With nearby lakes, bring your rod and reel to enjoy a day of fishing or to dip your toes! There are also many ATV trails throughout the area that connect to different towns, including Duck Creek.

Decorated in rustic antiques, this cozy two story 800 sq foot cottage is a perfect place to "snuggle" and create memories! It has two bedrooms and one bath with a shower, kitchen with a new refrigerator, new electric start gas range with oven, 4K Roku TV to stream your favorite shows, Blu-ray DVD player and a gas furnace rated fireplace. It has a large front porch and a large rear deck with a new gas BBQ grill and gas fire pit. The cottage is convenient to all Brian Head has to offer, yet is backed up to forest land with a view of meadows and mountains. All cooking utensils are provided as well as paper goods, soaps and linens.

The main bedroom has a queen size bed and the upstairs second bedroom has two twin size beds. There is a twin sized couch in the upstairs TV room/loft.

Located on 1/4 of an acre, you have enough room to spread out and have some privacy! It has woods in the back for you to explore and freshly paved parking on the side of the cottage for your boat/ATV/Razor trailer. For your safety and the safety of your property, security cameras are located on the exterior of the cottage.

This is a non-smoking cottage. You may smoke on the front or back porch. Please properly dispose of cigarette butts. No illegal drugs (including marijuana) are allowed. Deposit will be kept if violated.

ONE DOG under 40 pounds is allowed with an additional $20/night charge due to additional cleaning needs. An additional dog and/or dogs over 40 pounds may be allowed with the owners permission and additional $25/night fee. TWO DOG MAX. Failure to disclose pet(s) or size will result in forfeiture of your security deposit. PLEASE disclose all pets!!! Please pick up pet waste and do not allow them to pee/poop on the front or back porch! Please be confident your pet will not have an "accident" on the carpet due to it being in an unfamiliar place. You are responsible for any damage to the carpet due to pet waste, which may result in forfeiture of your security deposit and an additional charge. Out of consideration for future guests and potential allergies, cats are not allowed.

The cottage IS NOT handicapped accessible. If you have breathing or respiratory issues, please be aware of how the elevation may affect these issues.

During the winter months, the main road and the cottage parking area right off the main road is plowed, but due to plows only being able to work during daylight hours, please use caution if you are checking in after sunset. In the event your trip is during or after a snow storm, please be aware you may have to walk in the snow. The parking area is plowed upon 6 inches of snow, so you may need/want to do some light shoveling of the parking area and/or porch. Chains or snow tires may be required. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended.

2-night minimum stay - 3-night minimum stay during holidays. You must be at least 25 years old to rent. Maximum capacity is 5. Please disclose the correct number of guests that will be staying when you are making your reservation. This is for your safety! This is in case there is an emergency and I need to accurately account for all guests. Additional guests beyond capacity is in violation of city code and you will be asked to vacate. You will forfeit the cost of your nightly rental for the length of your reservation and your security deposit!

Early check in may be available with an additional fee.

Spring break ski trip

We loved the location and ability catch shuttle across the road. Not having to lug our belongings up flights of stairs to access a condo was a huge plus for us. We did miss the hot tub/pool some of the other places offer but really enjoyed being able to watch kids play in snow from our kitchen window.

Cutest cabin on the mountain.

The cabin is adorable and very comfy. The views are spectacular. Very close to all the lifts and a really good pizza place. Was able to watch it snow while staying warm inside. Excellent fireplace that kept us nice and warm. Such a great experience. Thanks.

Authentic cozy perfection!

Cute cabin, comfy beds. Quiet and clean. The cabin itself is the real deal, obviously been around a long time but has been maintained and upgraded as much as possible. The bathroom is very small but functional. I enjoyed using the gas grill and the porches when the temps were mild.It's a little quirky (like low ceilings on 1st floor and steep irregular stairs to the loft) but I think that just verifies the authenticity of this real cabin, it's not some timber-and-glass mega-chalet pretending it's a cabin!Gas fireplace looked lovely and kept the place very comfortable with zero fuss.Highly recommended for anyone who likes the real deal and doesn't mind living in a compact place.

Super cute place

The property was exactly as claimed in the listing. It is very small but good for a family with little kids or a couple. The house was well stocked with what we needed and Kimberly responded very quickly to my questions. The snow knocked out the furnace pilot light one night and she responded quickly.

Cozy and perfect

This was a perfect small place for my wife and i on our anniversary. It was cozy and sweet. The tv had all the streaming services we wanted for a lazy week. we couldnt get the oven to work and we found some bacon in the bathroom. Those things didnt take away from what we were looking for. The heater/fireplace worked so well.

Cozy Cottage

The owners are so nice and helpful! We enjoyed their cottage and the location was great. For our taste all the decorations took up too much space and left little room for us to unpack and feel at home. We put our clothes on the floor as the drawers were already full and stacked our food in the window seal and small ledge. We used the top of the dresser to store our bathroom items as the medicine cabinet was already being used. The kids enjoyed sledding right out the door so that was great, it was so easy to get to the lifts, the location was great. The owners were always responsive and extremely helpful.

Always Too Short

Beautiful area...magical property. We have used this as a home base for snowmobiling 10 different times since 2007 and it is adorable and relaxing.This year, we went earlier than before and I kind of freaked out seeing literally 0 snow thr whole drive from SoCal thinking there wouldnt be enough snow to cover snowmobile trails. Going up the mountain it still looked like we wouldn't find snow.Well, happily, there was just enough snow on trails with rocky areas being really minimal. It snowed on day 2 and 3 which made it basically perfect for novices like us to mess around with maybe 8" of powder in the trails through Cedar Breaks Nat'l Minument area...PERFECT.The owner did a great job of having the crews clear the driveway alongside the A-frame building for me to keep the sled trailer and my Tahoe.Next year I gotta' reserve it earlier so we can book a little more time. This place fills up early.

I wish we could have stayed longer

This is the 8th time we have stayed at the Cozy Cottage with our wienerdogs since 2007 when we bought our first snowmobiles. Each year the property was awesome. The property provides easy access to the groomed trails with a driveway that is just big enough to stick my trailer, my Tahoe and our sleds. The fireplace is a true gem and binge watching my wife's favorite TV series was relaxing and comfortable. The only problems are that I love super long hot showers which you can't do given the cold water coming into the cabin in the winter AND that I need to stay here longer to make sure that we get enough good weather days. That is to say that, this year, it snowed the lightest snow ever pretty much the entire time and my snowmobiles aren't as good as new ones with deep powder. Because of the light powder (I would say 2 feet over our 4 night stay), the people who groom the trails couldnt keep up. Luckily, the Cozy Cottage provided a perfect refuge from everything outside.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this cottage the minute we stepped through the front door! It immediately felt like "home". 15 minutes later we made an offer to purchase!

What makes this property unique

Why rent a condo where you have to share walls with others when you can have a cottage on a quarter acre all to yourself! Plenty of parking for your snowmobiles or ATV's.
