Location: Meadow Village, Big Sky, Montana, USA (45 minute drive to Bozeman Airport or West Yellowstone)

Accommodations:  House, 6 Bedrooms + Loft, 4 Baths (Sleeps 14-16)

Welcome to the old Big Sky Firehouse. Located in The Meadows of Big Sky Montana, the character of this property is enhanced because a portion of it was once the Big Sky fire station. Of course the fire poles and trucks are gone, but the history of this property adds to it's charm. The property was moved and remodeled and a new addition was built to transform the 3,200 square foot home into the perfect lodging destination for your Big Sky vacation.

The first floor great room has a cathedral ceiling with a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. The room surrounds you with windows and mountain views. Don't be surprised if you wake up to a moose at your door in the morning. There are plenty of moose sightings. A large kitchen with a breakfast bar, dining room, a laundry, three bedrooms with queen beds and two full baths complete the the first floor. Climb the log steps to the loft where you will find a very large bedroom with four single beds, a pull out futon couch, a full bath and several areas for lounging around, playing board games or watching Direct TV. The downstairs includes two more bedrooms, both with bunk beds and another full bath. The covered patio off the great room includes a fabulous hot tub for working out the muscle pain of skiing or sore shoulders from a long day of fly fishing.

The property is conveniently located within minutes of two major ski areas, Big Sky and Moonlight Basin. Fly fishing on pristine blue ribbon rivers like the Gallatin and Madison are nearby. Farther away (2+ hours) are the Henry's Fork, Beaverhead, Big Hole and the Yellowstone. Shopping, restaurants and bars are located within the village and are a short walk away. There are hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain bike trails in the area. The west gate to Yellowstone National Park is less than an hour away and of course the City of Bozeman is within an hour drive as well.

We would love to have you stay at The Firehouse. Make your reservation today.

  • We have a group of adult skiers/snowboarders that try to go on a trip each year. We like to stay together in one housing unit, which isn't always easy. In February 2009 we made our first visit to Big Sky, and it was one of our best trips ever. A lot of that was our accomodations. We had 11 adults, and the Firehouse was spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and very well-equiped. We have never had as much "elbow room" for such a large group, and the owners could not have been not have been more attentive and responsive. In addition, the location was great for us, not far from the shuttle and within walking distance of restaurants and equipment rental shops. Combine the accomodations with a great ski mountain and the location near Yellowstone and you have the setting for a perfect trip. We would have no trouble convincing our group to come back here for a repeat.

  • Thanks for a great stay at the Firehouse. The attention to detail and extra space made everything just perfect. The house is so comfortable and makes settling in to Montana life almost immediate. The loft is an especially great room for kids and gives them their own, very private, space. Looking forward to coming back soon. Jamie Ocean City, Maryland

  • We loved our stay in the Firehouse! It is a great hous in a great location. We enjoyed celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary with a nice dinner party by the fire and hot tubbing under the stars. Thanks a million!

  • March 2007 - We had a fantastic time at the Firehouse. It accomodated our family easily, 7 kids, 2 adults. If the kids are pleased then you know it is good! Easy drive to Big Sky slopes, loved the open layout of the house - helped me to keep an eye on the younger ones while I cooked. Close to everything you will need. Rick was a gracious host and very responsive to our needs.

  • Enjoyed the Firehouse completely. We had a family reunion with people aged 6 months to 76 years and everyone felt comforatble with the home. We are looking forward to renting again. Rick was a pleasure to deal with and responded to every question we had in a timely manner. Thanks Mike Robino

  • A group of 10 of my high school friends from MN gathered the summer of 2006 at this glorious home in Big Sky. We LOVED it, the quality of the home was amazing. It was decorated "first class", a true mountain decor and the top quality went down to the sheets, towels and kitchen appliances. The location was great to get to Yellowstone as well as close to Big Sky. We all left nurtured by the experience, plus we had tons of fun!

  • January, 2007 - Rick was a pleasure to deal with. This house was great for a group of 10 ageless baby-boomers. The main floor is spacious and accommodating. The upstairs bonus room allows for a separate TV viewing area complete with a “napping” sectional sofa. Compared to other 5/6 bedroom rentals in the past, this house was the most efficient. The house location is just a short drive when heading to the slopes, and convenient for travel to the surrounding areas such as snowmobiling in Yellowstone or in route to excellent meals such as those we found at Buck’s T-4 & Rainbow Ranch.

  • We sure had fun reuniting with family at the Fire House. It was a great place for us all to congregate and relax during a busy family wedding long weekend. Thanks for the hospitality, Rick.

  • We had a great time in Big Sky staying at the Firehouse. It was a beautiful place and comfortably accomodated our large group. It was in a great location for our snowmobiling plans in Yellowstone and skiing at Big Sky. We are definitely planning many more trips out there and will stay at the Firehouse.

  • Great place! The Firehouse was perfect for our large group. We do a trip every year and this by far the best accomodations we've had for a group our size. Amenities were great, central location and VERY quiet. Rick was extremely responsive and helped make our trip a joy. My only regret in writing this is that everyone reading this will want to stay there!
