We had a fantastic vacation. This was our first visit to Big Sky and my husband said he thinks it was the best ski vacation ever. The house was beautiful, spacious, and included all the necessities from toiletries to kitchenware including spices and 2 coffee makers! We loved the private hot tub and used it every afternoon after skiing. It is a true ski in/out, however when we return, we might look for a house that takes less trail traversing. It was tough for our boarders. Despite that, I would rate this 5 out of 5! Thank you!

Every year my husbands cousins and their spouses take a trip to a place none of us have ever been. This year we selected Big Sky. Out of all of the homes on VRBO, the Silver Star Chalet checked all of the boxes and we know now that we made the right selection. This high end home is in a stunning location with breathtaking views. The home was so clean with plenty of amenities. We love that every room has a bathroom. Perfect size for 6 people! Chris and Acura Samuels were wonderful to deal with and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Thank you for that and thank you to Big Sky for giving us a lifetime of memories!

Fantastic cabin
Stayed here for a week over spring break with my wife, three kids (ages 4, 6, and 9), and my parents. Cabin was absolutely perfect. Ski in/out was awesome. Hot tub was perfect. Nothing but great things to say. Definitely will return again!

60th birthday celebration
We had a wonderful stay at the Silver Star Chalet. The house is well appointed and rooms are large and comfortable. The kitchen, bathrooms and hot tub were sparkling clean. This house fit our family perfectly. We loved the ability to ski in/out, although some pushing involved. The week we were there was snowy and beautiful. Only issue was with the fireplace. We had trouble keeping the fire lit and smoke entered the house. We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks so much for staying with us at the Silver Star Chalet...... and Happy Belated Birthday! Great to hear that the home fit your family perfectly. The groomed trail right out the back door is awesome, but when we get so much snow you do have to pole or skate. We hope you will come back and join us again in Moonlight! Acra and Chris

Excellent ski in/ski out location, Wonderful views
New Year family gathering. Everyone had a comfortable bedroom and private bathroom. Nice kitchen and family room. Super easy location both for clip-on & go skiing and for driving to local shops/restaurants. Nice view from the [very clean] hot tub. Couple of suggestions from the family - considering the pricing some nicer towels and some bathrobes would have been appreciated. Some of the kitchen items could use an upgrade. Overall - a really nice on-mountain house. We would rent again.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us at the Silver Star Chalet! Great to hear that you enjoyed the "clip on and go skiing" and we agree, the view from the hot tub is awesome. We appreciate the heads up about the towels and are replacing them and will address the kitchen items immediately. Our goal is to provide the most perfect experience possible. Acra and Chris

Perfect Stay!
This was our first time taking a vacation in this area and it was 10/10! This chalet is so cozy, roomy and has the most beautiful views. Our 7 year old and 14 year old slept upstairs in the loft which they had made into their own little space. They could chill out and watch tv up there and use their own bathroom. My husband and I and my parents had plenty of room too. We all had plenty of space with the extra bathrooms. The fireplace and hot tub was used almost every night. Perfect stay!!! Highly recommend!

Great ski house for families
We rent houses often and this one was one of the best. Great main floor. We were two families with kids of all ages and there was plenty of room to spread out or spend time together. Kitchen had very modern appliances and was well stocked. We would highly recommend this rental.

The perfect vacation spot
We have a large family so we needed a lot of room and this place fit the bill ! Everything was just as described and more. Absolutely some of the greatest views we've ever had from a vacation home . Very close to Big Sky resort which had plenty to eat and plenty to do. Big Sky was perfect -not too busy or overcrowded but had everything you needed. Some in our group went into Yellowstone several times, but others enjoyed the peaceful Moonlight Basin neighborhood so much they hardly left Big Sky. We hiked some local trails, rented bikes, pedal boats, and rode the scenic chair lift many times. We enjoyed great local dining including street tacos , Chinese food, steak, pizza, and even freshly made donuts all within 10 minutes of this lovely home. When we wanted to stay in- the house was stocked with everything we needed to share a delightful meal together. We hope to return here for a winter vacation!!

30th Birthday Fun
We had a great time! House was adequately stocked! View is AMAZING! We picked a central place to go to several locations in Montana and Wyoming. An hour from West Yellowstone. We spent three days visiting Yellowstone. Some fished more. Town Center was also great. Groceries are expensive so plan for that expense. It was a great value overall. No AC. Fans were provided. I didn’t realize AC is not standard for any house in the area. We were hot, but AC is not usually needed. Comfortable over all. Silver Star met or exceeded our expectations.

Thank you so much for staying with us at the Silver Star Chalet! This is a fantastic location as a basecamp to Yellowstone and glad to hear that you got some fishing in as well. We always encourage people to grocery shop as they fly into Bozeman, as Big Sky is a resort town with resort prices. You are correct, no one in Big Sky has air conditioning. There are really only a few days a year that you might need it, and even on those days the temperature drops into the 50's once the sun goes down. Excellent to hear the property exceeded your expectations. We hope you will join us again at Moonlight Rentals. Acra and Chris

12 Silver Star Chalet was nothing short of perfect! Heated floors, well-stocked kitchen that opens up into a cozy living room, ample firewood, ski-in/out, hot tub overlooking the mountain...you name it, this place has it! Property managers were very responsive and helpful! Towels, toiletries and kitchen essentials all provided including spices, oil, pots, pans, aluminum foil, dishwasher detergent, laundry pods, etc...and even 3 rolls of paper towels. Highly recommend this property and hope to visit Big Sky during the summer!

Family Vacation
We had a great visit and the house was just as advertised. We are a family of 7 and the space was perfect for us. It was well stocked and we felt like we are at home...we especially appreciated the humidifiers. The only negative comment i have is that it is time to get a new master bed.

Thank you for taking time to share your experience in the Silver Star Chalet. It is great to hear that the house was just as advertised and that you felt right at home! I appreciate you drawing attention to the mattress. Unfortunately, the guests before you must have flipped it over (pillow top down) and we missed it at the turnover. That is a new mattress and it has been flipped back to its correct position and is as comfy as ever! We hope that you will come back and stay with us again. Acra and Chris

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was in a great location ski on/off.
Only negative thing I have to say would be the mattresses- they could use updating. They were thin and soft and overall uncomfortable. All other furnishings were great. Really would recommend this house.

Best ski-in ski-out property for families!
Our first experience at Big Sky was made perfect by this home. The house easily accommodated 3 families with children (6 adults and 4 kids). Adults in bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and kids sharing a large loft space that actually sleeps 5 easily. We spent 6 nights at this lovely home, skiing 4 days out of 5. The home is well equipped including appliances not typicallly available through a VRBO such as crock pot, blender, immersion blender, mixer, baking pans and mixing bowls. In addition, it is conveniently located to stop halfway through the day for lunch and apres ski. The beds in all rooms were comfortable, and the in floor heating kept the temperature consistent for our stay. The house was very clean upon arrival. Laundry with detergent was also quite helpful and convenient! One thing we really enjoyed in addition to the house was the Moonlight Lodge. We paid a fee of $100/day to have a guest pass, which is required for the duration of your stay not including check in or check out dates. With the guest pass, we had access to a charming Yurt at Ulery’s lake which has snow tubing, ice skating, fat tire bikes and XC skis at no extra charge. At the lodge there is a nice pool and spa which we enjoyed one night. Chris and Acra are excellent hosts. We only had one issue during our stay which they remedied immediately upon a simple phone call. Now for the skiing! The skiing on the Moonlight side was so good that we hardly went to Big Sky Mountain. The house is situated on a ski road that crosses bridges and takes some skating but not much. It may be difficult for snow boarders or younger kids, but our crew did not struggle with it. Chris and Acra left clear instructions on how to return to the house, which includes crossing one of the worlds longest ski bridges, a special experience for adults and kids alike. Overall, we all agreed this place was phenomenal, would recommend it, and gladly rent again!
