Photos and Description of the Big Sky vacation chalet rental
Chalet, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 5)

Recently purchased and newly fitted out - a partner property to CASA MOONLIGHT (VRBO Listing 374629) and CASA FARELLONES Ski Chalet in the Andes (VRBO Listing #95623)

Luxurious ski in - out rental home apartment and ski lodge in Big Sky. Full home comforts in a relaxed and spacious ski chalet set in the Rocky Mountains, just one hour drive from Bozeman, Montana.

Located on a warm southern facing slope on the lower slopes of the Big Sky ski area, with panoramic views on three sides, Casa Big Sky is three minutes on skis (on groomed ski trail passing right through our property) from the White Otter lift which accesses the Big Sky base area and the mountain beyond. You can ski back to just below Casa Big Sky from both Big Sky and Moonlight basin ski areas - or take the Cascade lift and then approach the home directly from behind.

Skiing and boarding are the main winter activities. There is ample lift serviced terrain in the 2 resorts, but if you feel the need to venture further, various back country options are available. In summer mountain walking, climbing , fishing and golf are available. We'll be happy to provide further details.

Casa Big Sky is a recently built two storey private chalet with total built area of approximately 4,000 square feet set in the Cascade subdivision of the Mountain Village of Big Sky , commanding panoramic and unobstructed views of Lone Peak and the Big Sky and Moonlight Basin Ski Area.

The owners, who divide their time between Chile, Thailand and Montana, use the upper floor primarily during the ski season. The lower floor, which can be closed off from the main house as a self contained apartment, is available for rent at most times of the year.

About The Owner

My wife (Thai) and I (British) are semi retired and now divide our time between homes in Phuket, Thailand (our previous home/business base) and now, chasing the snow, in Big Sky Montana and Farellones, Chile.

The Owner purchased this chalet in 2009
Why The Owner chose Big Sky

Quite simply Big Sky is the best, largest and least crowded lift serviced skiing in north America. We had been visiting (and renting) for extended stays for 5 years - and then in late 2009 found prices had become affordable, so purchased. The house is primarily for my wife and I, but when we do not have friends and family visiting, or when we are not in residence, we like to defray operation costs by renting the spaces we are not using.

What makes this chalet unique

The space and the peace and quiet. Free roaming wildlife - foxes, elk, moose and the occasional bear are our closest neighbors. Yet all this is within ski access (or 3 minutes drive) of two significant resorts.

Great Place

Casa Big Sky was our home-away-from-home for several days towards the end of the ski season. We rented the lower half of the home and it was warm and inviting and housed the four of us perfectly. Everything was in good order and we enjoyed easy access to the mountain. The garage was a nice bonus and the views can't be beat.

We'd stay here again when we return to Big Sky (hopefully next season). Thanks!

Note: visit Ousel and Spur in Towncenter...great pizza/pasta and nice owner and no waiting.

We had a great experience, very relaxing. House is as described, warm, very comfortable and well equipped. William answered promptly to every question we had, including helping my son to fix his skis. Overall excellent!

Too bad Big Sky does not recycle yet. We felt pretty bad throwing paper, plastic and cans in the regular trash.

I would recommend having some snow shoes available for guests as this are not items people usually travel with.

Owner's Response: Hi Flavia, so glad that you enjoyed your stay. You should have asked me about the snow shoes, I could have lent you a pair. Hope your son's ski repair is holding up. Perhaps we will get to meet again on Las Lenas this summer. I know how you feel about the re-cycling, hopefully this will be in Big Sky's future.

Fabulous stay!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our quiet getaway to Montana! The space was extremely clean & well stocked. Not having been to Montana previously we quickly realized the huge benefits of staying in a well stocked home rather than a hotel room. Such as being able to throw in the dryer outdoor clothing as needed; each of us able to have some space to ourselves when needed. The garage for the vehicle was an added bonus!
Thank you!
