Welcome to the landmark stone house on the golf course at The Meadows Village in Big Sky, Montana. One of the most unique custom homes in Big Sky this magnificent 4200 square foot, 5 bedroom 4 & 1/2 bathroom rustic design sits on the 16th fairway of the Big Sky Golf Course boasting spectacular views of the Spanish Peaks and Lone Mountain. Detailed craftsmanship is revealed in the reclaimed wood, log, and stonework throughout the inside and out of this home. Centrally located in the Meadow Village and close to the New Town Center, most amenities are within walking distance.
The home was finished in 2006 and features all the conveniences of home. Three of the four bedrooms upstairs have queen beds and their own attached bathrooms. The fourth bedroom has a bunk bed (twin/double) with no attached bathroom. There is also a powder room upstairs for convenience. The master bedroom has it's own stone fireplace (gas), huge bathroom, and a claw foot soaking tub. The Great Room also has a large floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace (wood) as well as a separate nook with it's own fireplace (gas). The kitchen features gorgeous and unique concrete countertops, top of the line appliances and all of the cooking utensils to make the kitchen fully functional. All of the floors upstairs are wood or stone. Heat is provided by radiant floor heating and the fireplaces. Downstairs features a rec room that is perfect for kids and movies as well as another bedroom, walk in closet and separate bathroom. In the summer there are two stone patios that overlook the golf course and the Spanish Peaks. The main patio also has an outdoor fireplace so relaxing and watching the sunset over Lone Peak is almost mandatory.
This house is close to everything at Big Sky. Big Sky Ski Resort is eight miles from the house and Moonlight Basin Ski Resort (opened in 2003) is only nine miles away. Big Sky Resort has 3500 acres of skiing with approximately 75 trails. Ski lift lines are almost non-existent as the Resort can handle 22,000 skiers a day. There is also cross-country skiing trails at Lone Mountain Ranch and the Big Sky Golf Course and for non-skiers, tubing/sledding is available at the Big Sky Resort. Snowmobile rentals are also availabe in the area. If you do not want to drive to the ski resort, the shuttle stop is 2 blocks from the house.
Summer is also a great time in Big Sky. One of the main things to do is to head to Yellowstone National Park which is only an hour away. Whitewater rafting and kayaking are other popular activities on the Gallatin River. Gondola rides to the top of Lone Mountain with or without your mountain bike and either hiking or biking back down is another fun thing to do. Of course, if you are a fly fisherman, Big Sky is one of the most centrally located places in Montana that offers a fantastic choice of rivers. The Gallatin is only three miles away. The Madison and waters of Yellowstone Park are an hour and a half south and the fabulous Yellowstone River is the same distance to the north and east. This is a fisherman's dream! There are a multitude of hiking opportunities within minutes of the house as well as horseback riding and wildlife viewing.

Why the Owner Chose Meadow Village

If you are going to have a vacation home in Montana, Big Sky is a hard location to beat. It is situated 45 miles from Yellowstone Park, 45 miles from beautiful Bozeman and is close to almost every kind of outdoor pursuit you can imagine. The house is six miles from Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin, one of the top rated ski hills in North America. It is also within easy driving distance of some of the best trout rivers in Montana. The Gallatin River is 5 minutes away. The Madison and Yellowstone Rivers are not far away either. This is a great base of operations if you want to fish in Montana. There are tons of other outdoor activities including hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and the list goes on. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, Big Sky is a great place for year round outdoor activities.

The Unique Benefits at this Custom Home

This home combines the rustic feel of a Montana cabin experience with all the creature comforts of home. The house it completely custom. The floors are rock and wood, the fireplaces are all rock and the attention to detail is just amazing. This is the best value for the money in Big Sky.

Owner's Map of Meadow Village

I am a pharmacist and Montana native now living in Gilbert, AZ. I am a co-owner of the home with my step-brother Brett. Brett and my father are both Masonry Contractors and Brett, who lives in Livingston, was doing a lot of work at the Yellowstone Club in Big Sky. Instead of driving two hours one-way every day, we decided to buy this little cabin on the golf course where he could be closer to work. The plan was to fix the house up while he was in Big Sky. To make a long story short, we ended up taking a 1600 square foot log cabin and completely renovated it to 4200 square feet. The living room and master bedroom were torn off the house and rebuilt completely. We also added a basement to the home. Everything in the house has been rebuilt and replaced. It is gorgeous!!

    • Recently returned from a week at this house in Big Sky and were so pleased with everything about the place. 5 siblings & 3 "outlaws" rendezvoused from Seattle, Florida & Wisconsin and consensus is that the house exceeded the photos & descriptions on the website. It was clean,comfortable, beautifully designed & furnished and every need was met. I had packed lots of spices, games & videos and never opened the box as the kitchen was so well equipped and the book & video libraries extensive. Unexpected cold & snow curtailed some outdoor activities so having such a wonderful, roomy & cozy place to hang out together became all the more important. The area is just spectacular and we did get 2 gloriously clear,sunny(and cold)days, one for a drive to The Tetons, the other for a northern loop of Yellowstone & Paradise Valley. Saw lots of elk, a couple moose, & a valley full of maybe 1000 bison in a setting right out of Dances with Wolves. We all would love to go back for another week at a more dependable time of the year for horseback rides, hiking, ATV trips etc. Kevin was easy to work with and quick in responding to all needs, though he obviously has no pull with Mother Nature. There are a number of nice eating & drinking places in the new village a very short walk across the road. All in all a very positive experience. Thanks Kevin!

      Homeowner Response:
      We would welcome you back anytime Phyllis! Thanks for the nice comments! Kevin

    • Kevin, we had a wonderful stay at your quite elegant home. It was big enough that all eleven of us fit comfortably. The house itself is beautiful and very large, and it was convenient to all of the things we wanted to do in the Galletin Valley. Very clean and very well appointed, and you were very easy to deal with. Merci! Michael

      Homeowner Response:
      Glad you liked the house Michael! Thanks for your stay and I hope to see you again soon. Kevin

    • We really enjoyd our stay. Your house has real character; unique and very fitting. And very comfortable as well. We all agreed that a ski trip should be the next family get together, and you house would be a great place to meet again. Thank you. None of us could think of a single complaint. Carl Youngstrom

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Carl. Glad you had a good time and we'll see you again soon! Kevin

    • We had a wonderful stay in Big Sky, and this house worked out perfectly for the whole family. It is a fantastic combination of rustic and modern that must be seen to be believed. Very clean and comfortable, and in a great location. The whole rental process was easy and smooth...we would definitely like to return next year. Our only (minor) complaint was the lack of an outdoor grill for barbecuing. Many thanks, Kevin!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Bill. I'm glad you liked the house. I guess by popular demand we'll be bringing the BBQ back up. Sorry it wasn't there for you. Next time! Kevin

    • WOW!! A wonderful home and beautiful setting. The detail work that went into this home is phenomenal. Can't get much better than this . . perfect chipping to the 16th green, amazing views of Lone Peak and an amazing 'shower'. We had the most wonderful, relaxing stay. Thank you again.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Tom! I'm glad you had a great time. See you next time!

    Kelley ,
    • We had 10 people in our group and the house accommodated all of us comfortably. It had great character, was clean and spacious. Conveniently located near 2 shopping villages, one just across the street (which is not likely in Montana). Most memorable moment at the house was when we had a fire going in the outside fireplace while we watched the 4th of July fire works going off at the end of the golf course (picture perfect). Needless to say, the area is gorgeous. I recommend the following things to do; Horseback riding at Canyon Adventures 1-800-520-7533 (located in Big Sky right on Route 191, it's a trip when crossing the river on horseback), Obviously you need to visit Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons (Must see at Yellowstone is the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone), We went to our first Rodeo, definately a must experience, Saphire mining in Philipsburg and lastly, visit the Ousel Falls Park Trial that is located just down the road (Obtain Discovery Map of Bozeman/Big Sky, very helpful). Something one must consider before visiting this part of the United States, it takes awhile to get somewhere. We were there for 8 nights, could have stayed longer. If the opportunity arises, we would definately go back, same house too. Thanks Kevin!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Kelley! Glad you had a good time. Come back anytime!

    • We’ve never written a review after staying somewhere, but this place was so perfect we wanted to tell people. We rented the house for a week in late March to ski with our four kids. We drove in an LX470 from MN with a Thule on the roof and a luggage rack on the back. The first thing we noticed was that the truck, with all luggage racks attached, fit in the garage. This is such a small thing, but it made the stay significantly easier. The next morning we also realized that the garage seems to be heated because it was 55 degrees. When we walked in, we found the house to be more impressive than the pictures had indicated. It is immaculately clean and new. All the furniture, fixtures, and finishings are high quality. Other places we’ve stayed at in the past were outdated and worn out, but this house was the opposite. Our favorite part was the kitchen - we enjoy cooking. The KitchenAid six burner stove, wine refrigerator, refrigerator – all the appliances were top notch, including washer and dryer (Maytag Neptune) in the basement as well. The kitchen also has all the pots, pans, cookie sheets, spices, etc… enough for a gourmet chef. All the little things that seem to be missing at most properties were there. The bedrooms worked well for us – we each had our own bedroom. The master bedroom was very nice with a gas fireplace, large closet, and an amazing master bath with multi-head shower. There are four bedrooms upstairs (in addition to the master, two of them have their own attached bathrooms). There is one bedroom downstairs with its own bathroom. Also downstairs is a spacious entertainment room with a big screen TV, statellite TV, a surround sound DVD player, VCR and some VHS movies. There is also a twin bed and queen bed on the floor in the basement for extra sleeping capacity if you need it. Lastly, working directly with the owners (Kevin) was much more pleasant than working with a rental agency or company. He was very helpful and easy to work with on any requests we had. As an example, the day we were leaving we woke up to 8 inches of snow on the ground and blizzard conditions forecast for much of our drive home. Kevin generously offered to let us use the house one more night at a greatly reduced price since it was available the next night. As far as negatives, these depend on opinion. There is currently no hot tub at the house, however Kevin said they are considering putting one out back this summer. And to be honest, we did not miss a hot tub one bit. Secondly, wi-fi internet is not available at the house, but at this point that is only available via satellite and Kevin said it is prohibitively expensive. In the meantime, it’s easy to drive across the street to the Hungry Moose for internet access. Bottom line, the house was perfect for us and we will definitely be back next year – and possibly this summer.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Jason. You guys were a great crew to work with and we'd love to have you back anytime. Kevin
