Photos and Description of the Big Sky vacation townhome rental
Townhome, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 10-12)

When you want a hot chocolate break, you ski right off the mountain and back to the condo. The skiing is incredible- Moonlight Basin's and Big Sky's combined Biggest Skiing in America has a total of 5,512 acres. The two ski resorts have a wide variety of terrain, new snow and short lift lines even during the holiday break.

The townhouse has three spacious bedrooms, three and a half bath and offers comfort and fine amenities; fluffy towels and comfortable beds. You can sink into the living room sofa and chairs, watch your favorite program or play games and be warmed by the fireplace. A completely furnished kitchen rounds out a great experience. There are dramatic views of the mountains from all windows. After an exhausting day of skiing or hiking you can soak in the outdoor hot tub and view Lone Peak Mountain – or the amazing starry night! A large deck off the dining area can be enjoyed at anytime, especially for that family meal during the balmy summer months or a mid-morning coffee chat with your friends!

Then what about summer you ask? Well, Yellowstone Park is 45 minutes away and home to some of the most breathtaking and beautiful natural wonders, including mud volcanoes, hot springs, steam vents, and rivers. There is trout fishing in the Big Sky Valley, white water rafting and hiking out your back door. You will share your adventure with moose, elk and an occasional black bear. Bozeman is 45 minutes away and is the home of Montana State University which hosts The Museum of the Rockies. It has an amazing dinosaur exhibit and Jack Horner, university museum paleontologist was adviser to Jurassic Park!

The SUV, fondly known as The Green Moose, is a 1998 Suburban. It sports old world luxury with heated leather seats, comfortable seating for 8, front and rear passenger heat and AC controls, super clean interior and enough room to pack a great picnic lunch and then some on your sightseeing excursions. The engine is completely rebuilt, new tires, and cruise control. This is available for no extra charge (200 miles per week max) and the gas tank needs to be full when you leave. If you wish to use over 200 miles per week, the charge will be .10/ mile over the 200 mile max limit. Eligible drivers only and there is a separate rental agreement needed that requires a drivers license and proof of insurance. Owner will facilitate.

Keywords: Phenomenal mountain views from every window best describe this incredible and luxurious ski in and ski out townhouse. And we offer The Green Moose (our SUV) to use!

Our story started with buying a used SUV, The Green Moose, to use while skiing. We then fell in love with Moonlight Basin- it is breathtakingly beautiful with excellent skiing and summer activities galore. This led to purchasing our dream 2200 sq ft., three bedroom townhome - with garage - so we could have some place to park The Green Moose! The Saddle Ridge Townhome is perfectly situated right on the ski slope close to Moonlight Lodge and offers great views of Lone Mountain. Your “vacation is on” as we can offer both - an amazing home and an 8 passenger GMC Suburban to use while touring Montana. Of course you don’t need the car to ski as we are located literally right on the ski slope. You simply put your skis on and ski down to the Pony Express lift- a lift shared by both Moonlight Basin and Big Sky.

Why The Owner chose Big Sky

We love to ski with no lift lines and be on the slopes right at the back door- literally. For summer the proximity to Yellowstone can't be beat!

What makes this townhome unique

Great views, relaxing in the hot tub after a hard day skiing! Private and spacious surroundings.

We stayed at this location over Spring Break. It is hands down, the best place we've ever stayed at (we go somewhere different every year in hopes of finding THE place). Montana was great - everyone is so nice! The skiing was wonderful - not crowded at all during spring break and no waiting in lines anywhere. Ski school was great.

The condo is well furnished and owners have thought of everything from first aid kits and walkie talkies to toiletries and the most well stocked kitchen I have ever used. Lower level floor has ski in/out access, hot tub outside, 2 bedrooms with attached full baths and king beds. Laundry room downstairs also. Main floor has living area with porch to grill/eat outside, kitchen, half bath, dining room. Upstairs has bedroom with bunk bed, bed nook in wall and attached bath. Everything about this location is convenient. It felt like home.

The green moose was great! Safe to drive and very reliable. Super convenient to have. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place or the owners.

Skiing - we have 4 children (ages 2-9) and had plenty of skiing to do on moonlight. Didn't even have to go to big sky. We also went tubing at moonlight - no conveyer belt, but fun and not crowded. Big sky has a bigger tubing area if you're interested.

Overall, a great place to stay if you're planning a vacation in Montana. We will be back (probably every year) if the owners will have us. Thanks so much for everything!

A great relaxing time at the Green Moose! The ski-in, ski-out was perfect - easy to stop for lunch or a break. We enjoyed skiing Moonlight Basin - lots of challenging blue runs and no lift lines! My wife really loved the spa at the Moonlight Lodge which is an easy walk - great massages and a very nice work-out room. The condo is super nice with lots of special touches. Very nicely furnished and comfortable - all the amenities, even space heaters in the bedrooms. The full size SUV makes the whole trip really easy and convenient. A great value and I highly recommend this place! If you're looking for a great restaurant, try Olive B's in the village.

What a great ski vacation! The townhouse is so well stocked and equipped, so comfortable for the family. Having the green moose at the airport made things so convenient. I would recommend this townhouse to anyone thinking of coming to Big Sky.

From the luxury of having a car at your disposal at the airport to the lovely gift basket of goodies on the counter and the delicious hot tub right outside the door, this is a great find! The proximity to Yellowstone was also a plus, how fun to go in the winter without so many tourists. The owners are very responsive and accommodating, thinking of all the little details that made our stay out of the ordinary.

We really enjoyed our stay and the skiing was not for the faint of heart. What a great place, we are looking forward to another time when we can enjoy the Green Moose one more time.

Luxury Saddle Ridge home!

We had a fantastic stay in this condo last weekend. We have rented many different Saddle Ridge condos via VRBO and Moonlight lodging over the last 10 years and this is by far a favorite. There are several different layouts in SR and this condo benefits from an open family room/dining room and kitchen. The family room has ample, comfortable seating, great flat-screen TV with DVD player, and a nice DVD collection. The kitchen has every convenience imaginable, nice cutlery, dishware and cookware and the pantry is well-stocked. The bed setup is excellent for 2 families with kids. The spacious 3rd-floor bedroom is perfect for kids to bunk in with a twin-over-queen bunk and oversized-twin bed in the alcove. This bedroom has it's own spacious bath and xbox game station. It gives kids a place to get away. All beds are very comfortable and linens and towels are top-notch. The unit is very clean and well-maintained overall, and the property description is spot on. The location is right above the Pony lift, so ski in/out access is quick and easy. View from the hot tub will make you smile! Honestly, too many extras to mention. The owners have put together an extremely comfortable home, and we can't wait to come back. There is a reason that there are no available dates for this condo! Thanks for sharing!

Green Moose

Submitted: January 21, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
My family and I stayed at the Green Moose in December and had such a good time. The location was perfect for skiing to the slopes right out of the front door. No car full of snow or icy road to deal with, great! Beautiful views from every window and door in the condo. The condo was close enough to the ski lodge for a quiet and relaxing dip in the warm pool, but far enough away from the grind, and the hustle/bustle of a first class ski resort. The unit itself was very well appointed, and stocked with little extras that came in handy during our stay. The kitchen and dining room were large and updated. My kids loved the beds in the bedrooms, and the xbox even attracted the adults in the family. The vehicle was well maintained and large enough to fit all of us, and then some. Even the neighbors were welcoming and offered their services during our stay. The town had good restaurants, and there was plenty to do if you did not want to ski. Wow, where else do you get all that? Lastly, the owners were so caring and professional; a very nice couple indeed. We would highly recommend a stay at the Green Moose :-)

Me and my girlfriend and her family got to stay here in mid July and had a fantastic time! Even with 3 groups of people staying in the condo we all had plenty of space and everyone had a blast. Great hiking right in Big Sky, great views of the mountain right off the deck in the condo, 10 minute drive from great fly fishing in the Gallatin River. We all had a wonderful time! Thanks so much for leting us stay. The Green Moose provides everything you need for a great stay reguardless of what activities your going to do.

We loved staying here, very comfortable, well equipped and it was great to have so many things left in the pantry for us to use. The views from the condo are stunning and it is truly ski in / ski out, the location could not have been better. We had 4 boys on the trip and the kids' room with xbox and games was an added bonus. Use of the Green Moose was fantastic, a perfect SUV for the area, comfortably fitting six plus all luggage. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather and snow. It was the last week of the season and we had plenty of powder and very quiet slopes. I would thoroughly recommend both this condo and Moonlight Basin - a great family ski resort with very good snowsport school. Thanks for your hospitality - we hope to return in 2013.

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. The location is perfect with Ski on, Ski off access to both Big Sky and Moonlight Basin. Snap into your Skis and 15 seconds later you are on the lift. The views from the deck, hot tub and living room are amazing. My wife and I went with another couple and their 3 children. The size of the townhouse and layout of the bedrooms was great and allowed plenty of room for both common area and also privacy. The owners have the place fully furnished and stocked with everything you will need (and more) to make your stay comfortable. They were wonderful to deal with throughout the process and are extremely accommodating. They could not have been any nicer. The skiing is incredible, great conditions and no crowds. Make sure to ski at Moonlight Basin along with Big Sky. We thought we might do 1 day and Moonlight and ended up doing 3 because we liked it so much. I could go on and on but will just finish by saying, thank you for allowing us to stay at your home. It far exceeded our hopes and expectations (and we had pretty high hopes and expectations)!
