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.

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.
