Beehive Basin | Back Country Summer Adventure!

This 5300 sq. ft. Durfeld Log Custom Home is situated on three levels. Gather in the spacious great room under the expanse of the cathedral ceiling around the Tulikivi fireplace while the family chef enjoys the amenities of the fully-appointed, open, gourmet kitchen. The ground floor with a private kitchen and living quarters is perfect for extended family.

Elevate your stay from start to finish! When you stay in one of our properties, you also receive the convenience of KEY, a hospitality team that is ready to transform your travels into an unforgettable experience. From in-home amenities like pre-arrival groceries, or a private chef, to local experiences like a dog sledding excursion. KEY’s team is available to create a personalized itinerary of the best Big Sky has to offer. Lookout for your confirmation email for additional information.

Relax on the wrap-around deck in your own private hot tub with mountain views in all directions. Once you are out of the hot tub, you can retire the evening around the unique cast iron fire pit. While the kids hang out in the ground level game room that features a pool table, enjoy a drink at the wet bar. Also, your own private sledding hill is just steps from the deck and hot tub.

In the winter, enjoy privacy as well as a prime location as you are only a (10) minute drive from Big Sky Resort and America's Biggest Skiing! If you enjoy backcountry skiing, this is also the home for you with some of the best the lower 48 has to offer.

In the summer, hop out your back door to jump on the world-renowned Beehive Basin trail. The expansive deck provides seating, a gas grill, copper cowboy cauldron, and a private hot tub. Everyone in your family will be able to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Spanish Peaks and Lone Peak. The property borders the Gallatin National Forest and is just a 45-minute drive to Yellowstone National Park.

During the winter months, a 4-wheel drive is required, and snow tires are recommended to navigate the narrow, winding mountain road - ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey to your remote retreat.

Additional Notes
We require a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the winter months (Oct-May). We don't believe it's a necessity for the summer months but do find it a good idea! Lucky for you, we offer all guests that book with us discounts for rentals in Bozeman!

This home is at a higher elevation of approx. 8500 ft. 

Events of any size are not allowed when staying at this property in accordance with the neighborhood/HOA rules.

Like most homes in the area, this home does not have A/C. Summer guests are encouraged to take part in good ole' Montana A/C which is opening windows at night, and closing them up during the day. Closing them during the day will help keep cool air inside, and we ask that you do so if you are not present at the home as well. 

We are a local property management company. So if there is anything you need before, during, or after your trip, please let us know! 

Transportation to Big Sky from Bozeman Airport
In order to experience all that Big Sky has to offer, it is helpful to have access to a vehicle during your stay. This allows you to travel seamlessly throughout the community from the Gallatin River to Lone Peak. While ride-sharing and taxi services are abundant in other communities, Big Sky remains a small town with limited options for transportation. We offer a 5% discount code to Explore Rentals for confirmed guests. They are located minutes away from the Bozeman Airport and provide 4 wheel drive vehicles with dedicated snow tires in the winter and all-season tires in the summer!

Great property and setting
Group of 12 men for annual ski trip (35 years). Property is stunning and easily accommodated our large group but maintenance is not comparable. Kitchen was not well equipped. Road was not plowed and one vehicle had to be abandoned overnight. The road is quite difficult but passable if plowed. In Primary BR toilet seat broken. Rugs not laundered. Twin Pines Realtors were very responsive and helpful.

The location couldn't be more majestic! Quiet, secluded with Incredible views! Awesome deck with a fire pit, picnic tables, and a hot tub! direct access to the Beehive Basin trailhead. The pictures online are a few years old and the home is slightly dated. also, the home could have been supplied better with things like sliver ware, wine glasses, paper towels, coffee filters etc.

Best Stay in All of Big Sky
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Big Sky. Gorgeous home with phenomenal views of Lone Peak right out the window. Open living area with tall ceilings, wood burning stove, great kitchen, and plenty of sleeping area. Proximity to the resort is great with a 10-15 minute down a private drive. The drive can get a bit hairy with snow cover so be prepared with the right type of vehicle/driver. Had an absolute blast, would love to stay again.

A cozy, but magnificent cabin on the mountain
We loved this house! Absolutely perfect for a large family like ours (group of 9). Great fire pit, fun hot tub, amazing kitchen and common areas, and spacious bedrooms. Getting to it after a good snowfall can be tricky, but we’ll worth the trek. Just be sure to get a 4 wheel drive.

Family Reunion
This property was great for 15 family members from ages 4-75. The views were gorgeous, and there was enough space for all of us to sleep, eat and play. The road to access the property might be challenging for some, but the location is worth it. Proximity to Beehive Basin Trail was a plus. They could use some new tableware and chair upholstery, but otherwise it was perfect!

This was hands down the nicest ski house I have ever stayed in! The views, the cleanliness, the amenities this place had it all and best of all, at an affordable rate!

Does not disappoint
Came to Big Sky with some family and friends for a ski trip and This was an outstanding place to stay. It was remarkably convenient to the resort, yet felt very isolated while we were there, which was exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub was a major high point, but we loved everything about the property. I truly hope we can stay here again in the future.

We had an amazing time at this house. It was large enough to fit 7 adults. The deck was absolutely perfect for having a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in front of the fire in the evening. We had gorgeous views of the mountains and were fortunate enough to see a small herd of elk, a moose, and multiple deer. The location couldn't be more perfect!
