Enjoy every acre of the Big Sky lifestyle in this spacious and comfortable chalet. This home is ideally located, less then a mile from the growing Big Sky Town Center and all the entertainment and dining options it has to offer. It's also a 10-minute drive (or free shuttle) to 300+ trails of world class skiing at Big Sky Resort, and the phenomenal Nordic trails at Lone Mountain Ranch. With numerous hiking trailheads nearby, the Gallatin River Valley fishing scene, and Yellowstone and Bozeman within 45-minutes, the location can't be beat.

Wonderful stay, excellent hosts, fantastic views, all necessities were available. This rental made our stay simple, beautiful, relaxing, and memorable. The view of the mountains from the windows and back patio were jaw-dropping! We even saw a moose mama and two babies wandering the neighborhood and our yard!

We had a great stay! The condo has everything we needed to relax after a day of skiing! There is open space in the back and great views from the hot tub and the kitchen was stocked well so that we could easily make dinner for everyone. We loved it!

All around great experience.

First off, the property owner was quick to respond and very helpful when we had a concern about a last min. cancelled flight. The property was perfect for a group or 5 with more than enough space. Very clean and comfortable. The location is only about 15-20 mins to big sky resort for skiing (when roads were covered in snow). Also close to several shops and restaurants. The heated garage was a bonus when dealing with overnight snow. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone thinking about visiting the area.

Great place to stay for ski vacation

We stayed here the last week of March 2017 for a ski vacation. The home was exactly as described with very nice accommodations. The proximity to the ski hill and town were perfect. So glad we decided to stay here rather than lodging up the mountain road. The patio and hot tub area were private and serene. A great way to spend the afternoon/evening after skiing all day. We would definitely stay here again! The owners were very easy to work with and provided valuable information about the area, such as where to rent equipment and dining suggestions.

Beautiful home!

We stayed here with our 6 adult kids and had a wonderful week in Big Sky. We drove to Yellowstone, or Grand Tetons everyday. It was so nice to come back to this wonderful home and have dinner and hot tub with the family. There is some great hikes right here in Big Sky, just down the road, no car needed. Beautiful waterfalls and meadows nearby. The town is so quaint, and always something going on for entertainment. We will be back!

Great property

Great property! All the amenities you can think of for 2 families of 4 on a ski trip -- a short 15 min drive to Big Sky, entrance way to hang your wet ski gear and a bench to take off your boots, connected garage, washer dryer, hot tub, fireplace. Right down the road from the condo were restaurants, grocery store and even a medical urgent care facility, which came in handy as one of our kids was sick. Would definitely rent this out again. Thank you!

Loved it!

The house was beautiful and well kept. The property manager, Mariah and Phil, the owner were so helpful and welcoming. We needed a DVD player and Mariah brought one over for us. It truly felt like home. We cooked two meals a day and packed in lunch for the park each day. The kitchen had everything we needed to do that. We would definitely want to stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Cleanliness, security and communication

The place inside the living area was clean, adequate and charming. However, the garage was filled with dry mud, the front grass area was littered with trash, the back patio was unswept with burnt pieces of wood left. In addition the rear sliding glass door lock was broken and the security was provided by laying a wooden dowel in the track to prevent door opening fully although it could be opened approximately 8 inches. A wooden dowel should not be used for primary lock but as a secondary backup. Fix the lock in order to provide a safe and secure environment for your quest. When notifying owners of problems, still no response. In future visits, this is not a place I will stay.

Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved Phil and Michele’s vacation house! It was just as described and was in a great location. We had 6 adults and had plenty of room. Using the fireplace and hot tub after a long day of skiing was the perfect way to relax. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessities. It was a nice surprise to have 2 humidifiers as well! Phil was kind enough to provide information on snowmobiling in Yellowstone and the best local restaurants. We agreed with his recommendations. Thank you again!

The pictures do not do this unit justice. Beautifully decorated. Fully equipped with anything that you might need. Great location. Easy access to shops and grocery stores. We have been coming out her for many years and have stayed in almost every place on the mountain. Never again. . You can actually call this your home away from home. The owners Phillip and Michelle Barnhill were so easy to work with. A big thank you from my family. We will be planning on staying here again next year.

Absolutely Perfect for Our Family Getaway!

This condo was everything we could have hoped for and more! From the moment we stepped in, we felt right at home. The layout was ideal, especially for our teenagers who absolutely adored the loft area. It gave them their own space to relax and unwind. One of the highlights of our stay was the proximity to Ousel Falls, a stunning natural wonder that we hiked to and were left in awe of its beauty. The views surrounding the condo were simply breathtaking, adding an extra layer of tranquility to our vacation. Additionally, being just a short drive away from Big Sky Resort was a huge bonus for us as skiing enthusiasts. We could easily access the slopes and enjoy the thrill of the mountain while knowing we had a cozy retreat to return to at the end of the day. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better accommodation for our family getaway. Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful experience!

Exceeded expectations

This was our first VRBO experience and it won’t be our last. We stayed at Firelight Meadows in July 2016; the property is better than the description. It is clean, well furnished with all the amenities you need (Paul and Michelle we left all the paper products we thought we would need, but didn’t in the townhouse lol). Firelight Meadows is located about a mile uphill from many nice restaurants and shops. We recommend a having car, the shuttle service seemed sporadic. Before we arrived we felt as though we had a good feel for the area, Phillip and Michelle provided us with plenty of recommendations and the property manager Mariah, was responsive to our questions. Big Sky is a unique place; there is something for everyone if you truly like the outdoors. We enjoyed dining at Olive B’s Big Sky Bistro, Buck’s T-4 Restaurant and the Gallatin Riverhouse Grill (fun local place for BBQ, drinks and live music). We had a great time at the Taste of Big Sky, the Farmers Market, Thursday night concert and golfing. We found many great well marked hiking trails and my wife never left the house without her bear spray attached to her hip (FYI, luckily we never saw a bear). The hot tub was a great place to end a long day especially on a chilly night. The only dislike we had was the lack out outdoor seating. It would have been nice to have a small table and chairs on the patio. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone staying in Big Sky and hope to return for another visit.

Better than described!

The Hosts are true to their word in describing this place. It is well equipped for a couple getaway or family vacation. It's stocked with towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer, etc. Snow skiers will love the oversized garage leading into a ski room for your gear. The interior is cozy and warm with a an actual wood burning fireplace and hot tub overlooking the mountains. Town Center is close and offers restaurants, ski equipment, clothing and grocery stores. It will be hard to find a place as good as this. Can't wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Pat R

Host profile image
Michaela and Pat live in Bozeman, MT and enjoy running marathons, skiing, hiking, traveling, and just generally exploring outside. Many of their vacations have taken them to mountain tops all over the world and they're excited to finally have a mountain home of their own in Montana.

Why they chose this property

Michaela first came to Big Sky 6 years ago to ski with friends, and from the moment she was scooped up by the ski lift and spectacular views unfolded around her, she was overwhelmed by the magic of this place. Michaela has been coming here every winter since, and the second she turns onto Lone Mountain Road, all of her stress melts away. Her heart is full when she's here, and after introducing Big Sky to Pat, turns out he's in love with this place too.

We're thrilled to have this beautiful home in the mountains with endless nights by the fire after a long day of skiing Dakota (Michaela's favorite lift), looking at the stars from the hot tub, and hiking right out the back door.

We want this place to be enjoyed by people from all over, and we're excited to welcome you too!

What makes this property unique

We love this home due to it's excellent location close to everything Big Sky has to offer while also being a short drive to Yellowstone and Bozeman. The home also back into open space and we loved being able to sit on the patio or in the hot tub and relaxing enjoying the views..
