Big Sky Vacation Rental house

We’ve never written a review after staying somewhere, but this place was so perfect we wanted to tell people.
We rented the house for a week in late March to ski with our four kids. We drove in an LX470 from MN with a Thule on the roof and a luggage rack on the back. The first thing we noticed was that the truck, with all luggage racks attached, fit in the garage. This is such a small thing, but it made the stay significantly easier. The next morning we also realized that the garage seems to be heated because it was 55 degrees.
When we walked in, we found the house to be more impressive than the pictures had indicated. It is immaculately clean and new. All the furniture, fixtures, and finishings are high quality. Other places we’ve stayed at in the past were outdated and worn out, but this house was the opposite. Our favorite part was the kitchen - we enjoy cooking. The KitchenAid six burner stove, wine refrigerator, refrigerator – all the appliances were top notch, including washer and dryer (Maytag Neptune) in the basement as well. The kitchen also has all the pots, pans, cookie sheets, spices, etc… enough for a gourmet chef. All the little things that seem to be missing at most properties were there.
The bedrooms worked well for us – we each had our own bedroom. The master bedroom was very nice with a gas fireplace, large closet, and an amazing master bath with multi-head shower.
There are four bedrooms upstairs (in addition to the master, two of them have their own attached bathrooms). There is one bedroom downstairs with its own bathroom. Also downstairs is a spacious entertainment room with a big screen TV, statellite TV, a surround sound DVD player, VCR and some VHS movies. There is also a twin bed and queen bed on the floor in the basement for extra sleeping capacity if you need it.
Lastly, working directly with the owners (Kevin) was much more pleasant than working with a rental agency or company. He was very helpful and easy to work with on any requests we had. As an example, the day we were leaving we woke up to 8 inches of snow on the ground and blizzard conditions forecast for much of our drive home. Kevin generously offered to let us use the house one more night at a greatly reduced price since it was available the next night.
As far as negatives, these depend on opinion. There is currently no hot tub at the house, however Kevin said they are considering putting one out back this summer. And to be honest, we did not miss a hot tub one bit. Secondly, wi-fi internet is not available at the house, but at this point that is only available via satellite and Kevin said it is prohibitively expensive. In the meantime, it’s easy to drive across the street to the Hungry Moose for internet access.
Bottom line, the house was perfect for us and we will definitely be back next year – and possibly this summer.
