Amazing property and a great location. High end finishes throughout and well stocked with everything you’ll need. Make sure to study the area trail map well. Once you got it figured out the ski in ski out is truly incredible. Wonderful experience overall.

The ski in/out for this house is nice. You can easily ski to the main base by skiing right out of the property, down the white otter trail to the white otter lift. From the top of white otter lift it’s a short ski down to the main base. Skiing in was equally easy.

Beautiful home, nice clean contemporary but mountain vibe. Amazing views from this property. Excellent location for ski in and out. Lots of space for a large group, very comfortable with all the amenities. We had an amazing spring break with about 10" powder...so lucky for spring skiing. Access to white otter lift was so so due to warm weather. Ski in was easy.

Ski in ski out a bit tricky but manageable and this house had best access of any in neighborhood. House beautiful in some ways and a bit cheaply built in others. Floors really creaked all over main floor. Kitchen appliances a bit wonky with fridge doors out of alignment and stove panels loose. Kitchen cabinets cheap for house this expensive. Had port a crib despite being told it didn’t. Ice machine did not function in freezer and they dropped bag of ice over mid trip. Nice it had sleds for kids which were used well. Skiing got very good starting a week before we arrived which we were very thankful for. In all I think for a house at this price level location good but house quality a little short

A beautiful home, with plenty of space for our group of 5 adults, 2 teens and 2 kids. We loved the location, hot tub, furnishings and robes! We skied up to our back door a few days and loved that. Due to the time of year, we couldn't ski out, but it was an easy drive down to the Mountain Village. The fridge could hold all our food, which was quite a feat. We left earbuds and a watch, both were found and turned in by housekeeping!
Only cons were that the downstairs middle bedroom heard all the noise and there wasn't enough hot water for us all to take showers and use tubs within the same evening.
Overall, we would stay here again!!
Good property with somewhat undersized kitchen amenities for large capacity. Great location, everything but icemaker worked well - icemaker never fixed and we had to go and buy lots of extra ice. All that said we booked it again of next year!

Claim Jumper 16 is a great house in a great neighborhood. Being here in summer gave us the ability to walk straight out the back door onto the slopes and up to the top of the Explorer lift. The property is clean, new, well furnished and met all of our expectations.

House was great, very big to accommodate our group of 6. Short drive to the lifts or ski out back door with white otter lift is open. We really enjoyed the wood burning fire place. Would rent again!
We had a wonderful time in Big Sky. The property exceeded our expectations, was in an ideal location And had all the amenities of a luxury home. It was the perfect setting for our family of 6 with lots of room to spare - we look forward to returning with another family. Most importantly, the property host, Big Sky Vacation Rentals, was outstanding. They were kind, attentive and responsive to every inquiry we had. We look forward to returning soon!
