Great family Ski location

Very cozy. Clean, easy to get to the chairlift. And comfortable if you wanted to stay in for the day. If you happen to be there when there is daily snow, be sure to rent a 4WD vehicle. We reserved one, but rental places never have what you reserve. Did get stuck a few times, but they plowed and cleared snow multiple times a day.

Family Vacation Ski Trip

This condo was perfect for our family of five! Cozy, clean, lovely decor and just a short walk to the slopes. This condo is part of the building closest to the slope so it's very doable! We were able to ski back right up to the condo for the most part since there's a slight downhill incline. Communication by management was great. Thank you!

Gorgeous Ski Cabin!

What a perfect cabin this was for a ski trip! We were able to easily ski out and back in, it was so convenient! One great memory there was waking up just before dawn and seeing the silhouette of the mountain and the lights of the cabin across the valley shining like a Christmas village. The hot tub was great after a day of skiing. The rooms were clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was a weekend we will never forget!

View is incredible, some updates needed

The view from this location is amazing, easy drive to get to the village. However there were some strange things that happened and updates that are needed. The fireplace has no barriers or safety features. With young children this was a concern and one of them burned their hands on it just by touching the pane accidentally. The downstairs shower pressure was so hard painful and the upstairs hardly came out. The washer had no center piece so clothes didn’t get washed well and the dryer had to run it through twice to get items to dry. We received a text that a someone was coming to look at sink and they’d tell us when. No one ever gave us more information and the next day someone showed up saying there was a sink turned off, which we couldn’t find one they couldn’t. It is near the hill but should be noted it’s uphill to return to place, having to click off skis traverse up a steep hill and walk down the road back to place. We liked the place just were dissapointed in some of the amenities and safety.

Can't wait to go back!

We absolutely LOVED this property! Not only was it clean and well appointed, it was super comfortable! We loved the location and enjoyed several hikes directly from the townhouse, as well as the ease of getting to basecamp. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with towels. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. We loved relaxing on the large couch, watching movies... almost as much as watching the Olympics, from the hot tub with Lone Peak in the background. We can't wait to go back!

Outstanding Property Managers!

I've been renting ski houses/condos for the better part of 20 years, and what made this one stand out was the incredible job done by property managers Acra and Chris Samuels - possibly the best I've experienced. They were consistently pro-active in communicating important/helpful information and were incredibly responsive to any requests/inquiries we made. They went "above and beyond" to make our stay an enjoyable one - thank you Acra and Chris! Regarding the property, it was "as advertised" - nice location on slope above Pony Express chair. Moonlight was more "central" than I recalled, making it easy to return to the condo each day for lunch. Unit was very clean and kitchen well appointed. We chose to walk ~100 yds to bottom of Iron Horse lift rather than ski down to PE, and then "skied" through parking lot to get home - very easy. Great experience overall.

A Perfect Getaway

My fiance and I needed a vacation since all of our plans got cancelled this year. We just needed to get out of Chicago and unplug. The Samuels’ property was 10/10 AMAZING! We would highly recommend it for a romantic getaway or for a family vacation. It’s close to horseback riding, golf courses, hiking/biking trails, and lots of rivers and lakes for fishing. It’s only a couple hours away from Yellowstone as well. We would love to come back in the winter for a ski trip. Big Sky is gorgeous!!

Great stay, beautiful views

The condo was furnished well, clean, and plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful views of the mountains from the top deck and the bottom one from the hot tub. The beds are not extremely comfy, but plenty of blankets and pillows to keep warm and cozy during the night. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we were ever in Big Sky again.

Great condo on the slopes

We had a wonderful week in February on our second stay at Saddle Ridge with a family of five with kids ages 6, 10, 15. Great snow, sunrise from every window, incredible views. Smart TV.s spacious rooms, Simple decor, fully appointed kitchen, Modern laundry, clean. Excellent outdoor hot tub. Last time in April the long walk on the road carrying skis was a bit of a pain , but this time the road was snow covered, making the unit truly ski in and ski out. We love being up high in the mountains near the tree line , although it’s a long winding road back to the main town for shopping and restaurants.

Acra was an exceptional host. They were able to provide a pack and play for us which was such a huge help so we didn't have to ship one across the country. The views from the condo were breathtaking. What a great space and location. We attended a wedding at Moonlight basin and it was right next door! I loved the welcome basket with snacks and chapsticks which was a great touch.
