We love staying at this house, it is our second time here. The house is well equipped with everything for an easy experience. The view is incredible. In the winter the ski access is literally off the porch. In the summer we played frisbee in the same place!!!

Great cabin with wonderful view!

This was just perfect for our family. The location was great for hiking. It was just a short walk from our family who owns property here, as well as convenient to all our activities we had planned for the week. We have a family of 5 with 3 small kids. If the kids were bigger, this cabin may have been a little cramped.The Big Sky staff were wonderful. We really enjoyed staying here!

Incredible views, amazing cabin....can't imagine you'd find a better Big Sky experience. From the ski in/ski out convenience, to the beautifully updated and maintained cabin, to the picture perfect mountain views from the wonderful hot tub - this Cowboy Heaven property is outstanding! 5 stars and I would come back in a heartbeat!

Nice cabin for the family

Almost everything was as described. The only thing to be aware of is there is small incline at the end of the trail for ski in. The trail leaves you about 3 cabins short and you have to huff and puff up to get to your cabin. Skiing out is easy though as its all downhill. Also, they had someone come and clean the snow off of our deck and hot tub cover each morning.I would certainly stay here again.

Great getaway

I visited this property with my husband, sister and brother in law. We had originally planned a trip to Canada but due to COVID we were unable to go. We desperately wanted to getaway so we planned a last minute substitute trip to Big Sky! We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back!

Truly Ski In Ski Out

This cabin is in a perfect location. The views of Lone Peak and surrounding mountains are incredible. This was our first trip to big sky. We have skied throughout UT and CO. We have stayed at other places listed as ski in ski out but involved long hikes or confusing directions. At this cabin you step off the deck strap skis on, make a right hand turn and you are headed to the lift. I was a little worried about finding our way back at the end of the day but that was also as easy as can be. The cabin is cozy and comfortable and perfect for a family ski trip.

Quiet Cabin with Incredible Views

My wife and I needed a quiet week alone in nature, to recharge and rejuvenate - this cozy cabin and its surroundings DID NOT disappoint! While the cabin is surrounded by other cabins - we never felt like we had neighbors. The deck and hot-tub is where we spent hours, having coffee and the occasional adult beverage. It was perfect, for what we needed. The views of the surrounding mountains were idyllic and made us want to come back again. The cabin furnishings were upscale and appropriate, however the bedding/linens felt dated and worn in comparison. Overall - a fantastic property and we hope to be back again.

Great cabin clean and well laid out for one or two couples. We got here when there was no one else around because of the off season. Very quiet and had a secluded feeling. They forgot to give us the extra keys for the cabin but we just used the lock box each day and did fine. The ladies were wishing for some wash cloths for the bathrooms. Overall this was excellent.

Beautiful cabin with all the bells and whistles!!

The cabin was perfect for our weekend at Big Sky. Easy check in on the Ipad and don't forget to explore on the Ipad. It had wonderful suggested activities, restaurants, etc. on it. The cabin was spotless when we arrived. Thanks for that! All amenities that were listed were available & plus some (robes, plenty of towels, supplies for dishwasher/washer/dryer, seasonings, etc.). Delicious caramels were a nice treat!! Had trouble finding the dumpster to dispose of trash but just a phone call/text and they quickly responded with help. We plan to come back and would recommend it to family and friends.

Broken Dishwasher / Poor Communication

There was little to no communication about check in etc. and it was very hard to get someone on the phone to assist or to even return a call or email. Overall the area is nice, but there is an abundance of construction occurring at all times. The dishwasher was broken upon arrival and filled with stagnant, stinky water. Pictures made the place look much larger. Master bathroom was almost too small to turn around in. Very cramped floor plan.

Cozy cottage

The view was amazing! Went with another couple for a weekend of skiing and the cottage was adequate (although you could hear EVERYTHING from either bedroom) with nice ski in and ski out access. We learned we needed a vehicle because Moonlight Lodge does not offer free transportation and there isn't a mountain shuttle that is accessible. The Lodge charges $25/day to use the facilities and have access to their shuttle. Big point to know: Once you pay the $25 fee and want the shuttle service, it costs another minimum $20 to use the service plus the drivers' tip. When we ate in the Lodge, the tip AND "fee" were already included in the bill (we had a party of 4). I have never been to a resort where the fees just added up faster and faster every time I turned around! We had a good time but will not stay here again. Also, the cabin was worn. Some maintenance is necessary.

Big Sky regular

This was such a lovely cabin, and Sarah and the team at Big Sky Vacation Rental were so very helpful and responsive. It would have been a perfect score for our stay here except that the Hot Tub (one of our "must haves" for resort rentals) was not operational our 2nd night there. The repair man said they had been trying to get the owners to purchase a new one due to such frequent needs of repair. This was very disappointing that they knew there was a leak, allowed it to leak, and did not come check it every morning such that it would be set up correctly and re-heated by the time we got back from skiing each day. They did refund the $50 dollars promised in the contract, but that did not help us on the one thing we all love to do together - hot tubbing together in the lovely Big Sky night air. But again, thank you for the quick responses and the lovely, lovely stay.
