About this property
2026 Vacation Rental of the Year! Luxurious Home & Party Barn, Campfire area.
Proud to be awarded one of Vrbo’s 2026 Vacation Rentals of the Year. Happy Trails has been transformed from a horse property in the Montana mountains into a luxurious western vacation home. Located in Big Sky, Montana. This once exclusive vacation home is the perfect getaway for your family reunion or large group vacation. It's like having your own private ranch! Happy Trails boast 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. This compound features a large main house, a new guest house, and a huge party barn. Mountain views span 360 degrees around the 22 acre property.
So close to everything in Big Sky, a perfect location, situated a couple of minutes from town and a few miles to Big Sky Resort, so you get the best of both worlds. The famous North Fork Trail head is just steps out our back door for winter XC Nordic skiing. Marked snowshoe trails meander adjacent to the property, just strap on your shoes and go. We also have prestigious neighbors like Lone Mountain Ranch who borders our property and Yellowstone NP is just an hour away!
As you enter the main house, a huge 20ft fireplace welcomes you and wall to wall windows in the main living area streams sunlight making it happy and open. Three bedrooms all have their own spacious seating areas and private fireplaces. Great for curling up for reading or relaxing after a day of activities. The bunkroom even has its own big private bathroom, so send the kids and teens down to hangout for games and xbox and they will be all set! The guest house is a home in itself. Located across the gravel driveway from the main house. It has a living room, full kitchen, dining room AND 3 bedrooms! All outfitted in chic mountain cabin décor.
OK! Now the party barn...A 3000sqft heated state of the art barn turned into the ultimate gathering space. Pool table, ping pong table, dart board, and lounge/TV area will keep you entertained for hours. Imagine pouring drinks behind the 18 foot saloon bar with Kegerator, singing karaoke with your group on the 24 foot stage area, and enjoying beautiful artwork decorating the walls. The 7th bedroom is also attached here. It has its own guest half bath, and shower. Outside, the campfire sanctuary has lots of lounge seating for roasting those perfect s'mores and telling stories.
Some attractions of house: LOCATION, screened in summer porch, covered deck and porch spaces. Real wood burning fireplace gives you that true crackling Montana feel. Deluxe Jacuzzi to enjoy après ski or after a long summer hike. Huge back yard, plus 20 acres to play and explore. This is truly a vacation compound, you have the luxury of enjoying your own land without neighbors' windows peering at you, yet being so close to all the Big Sky activities. Escaping to the mountains is about having space. The enjoyment is to spread out, take nature walks, pick wildflowers, spot abundant wildlife, follow trails from the back door, all on this special property. Happy Trails feels like you are on your own private ranch.

Why they chose this property
Escaping to the mountains is about having space. The enjoyment is to spread out, take nature walks, pick wildflowers, spot abundant wildlife, follow trails from the back door, all on this special property. 20 acres just for you. Fire pit just for you. Fun party barn and coming soon, saloon, just for you. Happy Trails feels like you are on your own private ranch.
Of course all the conveniences and bustle are within a few stones throw. We are centered right in between town center and ski resort. Best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
Maybe it's the small town feel, maybe it's the biggest ski acreage in America, the friendly people, or that Yellowstone NP and other National forest playgrounds are all right here, that makes this spot so special.
Big Sky Ski Resort has a planned $10 million dollar revamp planned. Already the largest ski acreage in America, it now has state of the art features like: bubble encapsulated chairlift, heated chairlift, digital scan ticket entry gate, new restaurants, and much more!
