Wow! What a beautiful property!! We absolutely loved our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and the home was lovely and comfortable. We came for Labor Day weekend and the town wasn’t too crowded at all. We’d definitely book here again.
We would love to stay here again. This house has it all. Our family really enjoyed it. The views are amazing from the living room. Can't say that enough. Hot tub is large. Kitchen is great and well stocked with cooking items. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that this house was awesome and we would absolutely come back.
This house continues to be an amazing place for us to stay when we come to Big Sky. Love this house top to bottom. So cozy and comfy, and we really enjoyed our stay at this house.
The place is as advertised. Perfectly clean, in great condition, beautiful home in a location at Big Sky that couldn't be better. Everything was fantastic, from the booking to checkout.
Perfect ski in ski out house with a short walk to the mountain village area. Nice house and quiet neighborhood. Jacuzzi was great after skiing with a nice foot massager.

PERFECT FAMILY HOME IN BIG SKY!
This home exceeded our family's expectations. The views are beautiful and the home is very well stocked. The location was great too. We hope to return in the future!
Wonderful house in a beautiful area. We had six adults and eight children from three different families visiting and never felt cramped or bored. House is beautiful with multiple levels to separate adults and children, as well as games, pool table, hot tub, and hiking. Would visit again in a heartbeat.
Fit the needs of 8 men on a ski trip very well. We’ve stayed in this house twice and it’s fantastic. I would highly recommend it to anyone on any type of a trip that will be staying at big sky for an extended amount of time.
We stayed here with a large group, 12 people and a lot of kids. Everyone had ample space and there was a lot to keep everyone busy, from the pool table and Wii to the hot tub and fire pit. The management company provided wood and fire starter as well as heated the hot tub before arrival. Great touches. There is also a small creek in the backyard, we enjoyed hanging out and listening to the running water. Saw multiple elk and deer from our window, and the living room window has an incredible view of lone mountain. Overall great stay, everyone left happy and content.
The property was beautiful and the location was great. The kitchen however leaves quite a bit to be desired. The oven did not work and the cooking pots, pans, and utensils were awful. It was hard to get reservations for dinner in the Big Sky area even starting weeks in advance, so If you plan on making breakfast or any meals you had better plan on bringing some cooking gear! The kitchen for us was a real letdown to the experience.
The house is beautiful, great location, well furnished. We were thrilled until the first night when we were playing pool in the lower level and began to hear several animals inside the walls and ceiling scratching very loudly. They could be easily heard in both bedrooms, one of the bathrooms, and above the pool table. Obviously nobody wanted to sleep in those rooms, so the six of us packed into the upstairs rooms. We promptly notified the management. The only response we got is that the maintenance people "set up some traps"- no further follow-up. The animals were just as loud the next two nights. I realize this is not an easy problem to fix, but staying in an expensive 4 bedroom home for three nights and only having use of 2 bedrooms is unacceptable. I'd recommend looking into houses with a different management group.
This was our first visit to Big Sky and we could not have been happier with the house. It was spacious, very clean and comfortable beds. The seating was perfect for our group and the view of the mountain was incredible. We cannot wait to return.
Perfect accommodations for our family. Love the bedrooms on different level. 5 small children loved to ski all day come home and played in the snow until dark. Most meals made at this lovely home with so many amenities. Great hot tub. One of my sons left gloves outside on porch and the next morning found one glove chewed on, and the other one was gone. We were able to see fox at least twice. The ski in, ski out worked well even for the littlest ones. Many beautiful memories made.

Nice house, but
Nice house, but too close to busy roadways. Although that may not deter others from enjoying their stay, we were expecting less traffic.
