Great home. Great stay
Great location close to the Big Sky restaurants. Plenty of space for everyone. Beautiful views from every angle on the house. The Hot tub was a lifesaver for some of the more "seasoned legs" in the family after a long day of skiing. Our adult kids LOVED the steam room/shower. Not even sure that is called out in the description and it should be. Wood burning fireplace was well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was great and stock full of everything you need for at home cooking. We will be back.

Perfect location and nice property
Property was less than a mile from all the shops and restaurants in Big Sky. House was in good shape but could use some updating. Furnishings were ok but could also use an update. Plenty of firewood was provided and the hot tub was clean and hot so we were happy.

Great quiet week during off season
Since we were between the winter activities and summer activities, the area was fairly dead, but that was absolutely perfect for our group. We hiked daily and visited Yellowstone Park. The house was in a great location and very comfortable whe we were there.

Great Big Sky Ski Visit
We had a group of 8 adults and the house fit all of us perfectly. The hot tub was great after skiing all day and it was a 5 minute drive to the town which had multiple restaurants and bars, and a grocery store. We were lucky enough to get 30 inches of snow during our stay and our driveway was plowed during the day. Would highly recommend staying here.

The house was absolutely gorgeous and well taken care of. The garage was stocked with wood, making for great evenings and mornings by the fire. Although we had a good bit of luck, we fortunately saw plenty of wildlife. Would definitely choose this place again.

Perfect house for a family reunion.
This home was perfect for our family get together in Big Sky. Plenty of room for three generations to spread out, relax, and enjoy spectacular view from the generous deck. A moose munching in the yard, and fox and deer delighted the grandkids. Staff very responsive to replacing a broken appliance and fixing minor plumbing issue. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

The house is exactly as advertised on the edge of a golf course with a magnificent view. My only negative comment is that we had a plumbing issue with one of the showers and despite multiple phone calls and voicemails, I was unable to rectify the issue or even have anyone respond.

Annual Family Vacation
A great home for our three families. Located on 18th hole of a golf course (?). We saw elk, fox, coyotes, rabbits and deer from our back porch on the fairway. We each had a section of the house to ourselves. The living/dining easily accommodated our nine family members. We were conveniently located to our pre scheduled attractions. Yellowstone Park, Wyoming Zipline Adventures in Anaconda, Montana Whitewater Rafting (class 3) in Gardiner, Cache Creek Outfitters Horseback Riding in Big Sky, Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in Yellowstone, Montana Grizzly Encounter at Interstate 90 and Jackson Creek Rd. Again a great house for us. A couple of Housekeeping issues we encountered: dirty dishes in dishwasher, dirty toaster oven, oven with oven cleaner that was not wiped out. Minor stuff that got missed by Housekeeping. We still had a 5-Star experience!!!

nice home questionable management
We had a great stay and in a wonderful home. however the Stay Montana management team was supposed to drop off an air mattress prior to our arrival at an upcharge of $40 Not exorbitant so whatever. A call to the management team prior to booking in and they responded with one was dropped off. However all that was there was one we had already bought through amazon. We were still charged the $40 Small blip but chaffing

Great location, poor communication
Located on nordic trails was great. However, there was a leaking pipe in ceiling of kitchen which I know happens. When i arrived there was a hole in ceiling in front of fridge with lots of dripping water that had flooded the kitchen floor. Multiple times during stay I had to clean water up from floor. I used the kitchen so had water dripping on me every time i needed to open fridge. Had to find something to collect water no bucket was left. Figured out it was master shower drain so was not able to use during stay. Reached out to management company and no response. I expect better from this management company so was very disappointed. Also, has fireplace but nothing to make kindling with.
