This is a very nice home, we enjoyed every aspect of it..I do assume the owners are tall, as my 5 ft wife couldn't reach the cupboards in the kitchen.. It does say dog friendly but it is so nice we were always nervous about our dog. but he did fine. The view is outstanding and can only give this place a 5 star+++++. enjoy.

Spectacular Home and Majestic Mountain Views

Guest: Liz (Columbus, OH )
Date of Stay: 03/12/11 Review Submitted: 04/01/11

Our group of adults and teenagers stayed in this home for a week over Spring Break 2011 for skiing in nearby Big Sky. The home exceeded our expectations. It was exquisitely furnished and decorated, and offered many special amenities, including spectacular views of the mountains from all the living areas and master bedrooms, the hot tub, an outdoor mountain view porch with an outdoor fireplace, whole house sound and light system, and gourmet kitchen. We loved gathering in the family room area to watch March Madness basketball games after skiing on the big screen TV while also enjoying the wood burning fireplace there. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for all of our needs - several of the teens slept upstairs in the bunk room, also equipped with its own bathroom. In addition to enjoying this spectacular home, we also were able to take advantage of the privileges of membership of the nearby Spanish Peaks Club, which was a few minutes drive away. The club offers many amenities, including a beautiful lodge and dining room. Most especially, it offers its own ski area which adjoins the Big Sky resort. At the beginning of the day, we were able to begin our skiing from the clubhouse back entrance. We would begin by skiing the lifts in the Spanish Peaks-owned ski area (which does not require a lift ticket if you are a club member) and then after 2 lifts, we could take a run that would take us to the Big Sky ski area (which does require a lift ticket). At the end of each day's skiing, we were able to ski directly from the Big Sky resort to the clubhouse. We left our skis and boots at the clubhouse and the club staff brought the skis outside each morning for us. We were so spoiled never having to heft our skis and poles and walk in our boots more than a few steps each day! At the end of the day, we all enjoyed gathering in front of the huge fireplace in the clubhouse for a few apres ski beverages before heading the few minutes home. During the week we also enjoyed dinner at the club which was delicious and the massages offered through the club. It was a memorable vacation and one that we would love to repeat. We would not hesitate to recommend this house to friends or relatives. In addition, the house is about an hour from the West entrance of Yellowstone. We booked a snowmobile trip that allowed us to drive snowmobiles into the park and to Old Faithful with a guide. The scenery was spectacular and we saw many animals. We loved this trip also!

Stunning Property - Better than Expected

Guest: Joe, Lisa and Friends (Atlanta, Ga.)
Date of Stay: 01/02/11 Review Submitted: 01/26/11

This property met or exceeded all of our expectations in all areas! Attention to detail and quality are everywhere in this home. The wonderful bathrooms, high end kitchen, radiant heat throughout (it's nice to go barefoot when it's freezing outside), heated and very roomy garage are a few things that stand out. However, all of that pales in comparison to the incredible views from every room! A 90 second drive to the lodge where our gear was waiting daily and the abilty to access all the Big Sky slopes without having to drive and park in the Big Sky Village is a huge advantage. While we felt that we were isolated from most everyone, we could be at the grocery or ski shop in minutes. We had the estate manager provision groceries for us as well as prepare a fabulous meal one night - great job Jena ! I reached out to the owner for a question and he responded immediately and checked with us throughout our trip to ensure everything was going well. Bottom line, outstanding home, location and support services with thoughtful and caring owners. We recommend it highly!

This home is absolutely gorgeous, has breathtaking views from every room & it’s minutes away from world class skiing! It is so well stocked, it felt like home away from home. The large living spaces, number of rooms and baths made our group trip so much more enjoyable because everyone had their own space. The location is close to shopping and restaurants making it easy to pick up essentials or grab a quick bite. We enjoyed our visit very much and truly appreciate your attention to our needs as questions arose both throughout the planning process and stay. Thank you so much!!

Of all the houses/condos/hotel rooms I've stayed at during ski trips, this was the best. Beautiful home with a tremendous view. The club was phenomenal. Thanks to the owner for sharing his home with us.

This house is AWESOME! We had a big group and everyone was well accommodated. Be sure to read up on the audio visual system as it is quite complicated but worked great. The hot tub rocked and the home was absolutely stunning. A $4mm house is not something you get to rent very often. You won't be disappointed.

This house is phenomenal. The home is a quick drive to a beautiful ski in/ out club house. The club house valeted out equipment and were exceptionally kind and accommodating. The house itself offers the best in luxury accommodations. The amount of detail in the home is just incredible. We ski and snowboard with a group of 12 annually and this house offered more than enough space and comfort for each of our guests. We found ourselves looking forward to spending time in the house even more than we looked forward to hitting the mountain. We will be sure to return. (To the owner, Mark-- I am Tim Lang's sister and was on his trip March 2-7. I wanted to personally say thank you for having us!!!)

This house was amazing and the amenities were wonderful. I would recommend the beautiful to anyone looking for a lavish stay for a somewhat large group. The mountain was perfectly secluded with non-existent lift lines. I plan on returning in years to come.

My friends and I had a great time skiing, snowmobiling and watching the Olympics over Presidents Day. We were pleasantly surprised that the pictures of your home on VRBO don’t do it justice – this place is beautiful. We had a little problem learning how to use the audio system, but the owner responded right away and walked us through it so it really wasn’t an issue. Great tunes! Montana and Big Sky are beautiful and everything was better than expected. Hope to come back soon.

Cozy, Beautiful, Perfect Location

We enjoyed this beautiful home and picturesque setting over the New Year holiday. We were close to everything, but still enjoyed the solitude and beauty of this luxurious home nestled in the pines and beauty of Big Sky. Amenities abound and all accomodations were just perfect. Although, we were a large group, there was plenty of elbow room and space to get away for anyone who opted for a little peace and quiet. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Big Sky home in the pines with us. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Truly a gem. Ann and all:)

Big Sky at its Best!

We really enjoyed staying at your home in Big Sky. When you mentioned the home was newly built with all the high end details we never thought it would be so nice. Big Sky is a great place and the views of the mountains from the Dining room deck and Great rooms were fantastic. The fireplace was awesome, too. We sat in the hot tub one evening looking at the alpenglow on the mountain tops and it was great! Thanks so much for renting it to us and we hope to return! Kim L
