AWARD WINNING LUXURY LOG & TIMBER SKI HOME IN BIG SKY; 5 BEDRMS

Our group of adults and teenagers stayed in this home for a week over Spring Break 2011 for skiing in nearby Big Sky. The home exceeded our expectations. It was exquisitely furnished and decorated, and offered many special amenities, including spectacular views of the mountains from all the living areas and master bedrooms, the hot tub, an outdoor mountain view porch with an outdoor fireplace, whole house sound and light system, and gourmet kitchen. We loved gathering in the family room area to watch March Madness basketball games after skiing on the big screen TV while also enjoying the wood burning fireplace there. The bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for all of our needs - several of the teens slept upstairs in the bunk room, also equipped with its own bathroom. In addition to enjoying this spectacular home, we also were able to take advantage of the privileges of membership of the nearby Spanish Peaks Club, which was a few minutes drive away. The club offers many amenities, including a beautiful lodge and dining room. Most especially, it offers its own ski area which adjoins the Big Sky resort. At the beginning of the day, we were able to begin our skiing from the clubhouse back entrance. We would begin by skiing the lifts in the Spanish Peaks-owned ski area (which does not require a lift ticket if you are a club member) and then after 2 lifts, we could take a run that would take us to the Big Sky ski area (which does require a lift ticket). At the end of each day's skiing, we were able to ski directly from the Big Sky resort to the clubhouse. We left our skis and boots at the clubhouse and the club staff brought the skis outside each morning for us. We were so spoiled never having to heft our skis and poles and walk in our boots more than a few steps each day! At the end of the day, we all enjoyed gathering in front of the huge fireplace in the clubhouse for a few apres ski beverages before heading the few minutes home. During the week we also enjoyed dinner at the club which was delicious and the massages offered through the club. It was a memorable vacation and one that we would love to repeat. We would not hesitate to recommend this house to friends or relatives.
In addition, the house is about an hour from the West entrance of Yellowstone. We booked a snowmobile trip that allowed us to drive snowmobiles into the park and to Old Faithful with a guide. The scenery was spectacular and we saw many animals. We loved this trip also!

This property met or exceeded all of our expectations in all areas! Attention to detail and quality are everywhere in this home. The wonderful bathrooms, high end kitchen, radiant heat throughout (it's nice to go barefoot when it's freezing outside), heated and very roomy garage are a few things that stand out. However, all of that pales in comparison to the incredible views from every room!

A 90 second drive to the lodge where our gear was waiting daily and the abilty to access all the Big Sky slopes without having to drive and park in the Big Sky Village is a huge advantage. While we felt that we were isolated from most everyone, we could be at the grocery or ski shop in minutes.

We had the estate manager provision groceries for us as well as prepare a fabulous meal one night - great job Jena ! I reached out to the owner for a question and he responded immediately and checked with us throughout our trip to ensure everything was going well.

Bottom line, outstanding home, location and support services with thoughtful and caring owners. We recommend it highly!

Amazing home! Breathtaking views, Cozy, Warm, Inviting, Luxurious; These are all understatements. Thank you for having us as guests. I know I can speak for our entire group, we had an amazing time. Thank you so much!
