The main level features high, vaulted ceilings, wood beams, a massive slate gas fireplace, an open concept kitchen with dual ovens, a dining and living area, a gorgeous bar with unobstructed views of Lone Peak, an office nook, and expansive windows. The chef’s kitchen features a large island, wine fridge, high-end stainless steel appliances. The master suite includes a large walk-in closet with laundry, an en-suite bath, and a gas fireplace. Downstairs, you’ll enjoy a second entertaining space, wet bar, walk-out patio, three additional bedrooms, and two full baths. The enclosed breezeway to the garage is highlighted with a massive stone, wood-burning fireplace, slate flooring, rustic barn wood, and sporting good storage lockers- The perfect spot for before and after a day on the slopes! The above garage apartment is perfect for hosting guests, includes a private bath and great views of the Gallatin Range.

During the winter, you have access to the entire mountain from a groomed trail out your back door via Little Thunder lift to Big Sky Resort. Very close proximity to Beehive Basin trailhead for hiking, snowshoeing, Nordic, and backcountry skiing. If you are looking for an adventurous evening activity, check out Montana Yurt Dinner. You will embark up the Lone Peak in a snowcat (we recommend sitting on the top so you can take in the stars and mountain views) to a magical yurt tucked away in the mountains. You will enjoy an amazing dinner, sled, and have hot cocoa and dessert!

In the summertime, enjoy being minutes from Beehive Basin Trailhead. This is the perfect spot for hikers and mountain bikers! Don't miss out on seeing Yellowstone with sites like the Yellowstone Grande Canyon, Old Faithful, and so much more. When you pass through West Yellowstone on the way to Yellowstone's West Entrance, stop by Mountain Mama's for delicious fresh game breakfast burritos and gourmet coffee.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE IS REQUIRED DURING WINTER MONTHS (Oct - May)
Winter Season: Cascade Lift runs from December through early-to-mid April. Please check Big Sky Resort's site for lift operation.

Premier Ski Access
Weather Dependent, Big Sky Resort will operate from November 24, 2022 - April 23, 2022 for the 22/23 winter season. The hours and dates of operation for the White Otter Lift will be December 16, 2022, through April 9, 2023, 9 am - 4 pm daily. The Cascade and Little Thunder Lifts are scheduled to run from December 16, 2022 - April 9, 2023 (11 am - 4:30 pm) during the winter season.

*** This winter season, Rope Tow Joe is unable to run or be replaced. A trail easement encroachment has made any lift or rope tow in that location an unsustainable solution due to the lack of appropriate space for operations.

** Please be aware when making your reservation that lift access in November, early December, and April might not be available.

When Starting Your Ski Day: Follow Little Thunder run down to the Cascade run and then through the ski tunnel that goes under the road. Then take the White Otter lift up and then ski to the Big Sky Resort main base area. The easiest route is to make an immediate right onto the narrow traverse on the right side of White Wing, to reach the base area.

When Ending Your Ski Day: The easiest way back to the home is to look for the four trail signs. Follow the sign for the Cascade lift. You will follow the main flow of the trail, but make sure to take the sharp left over the White Otter Access Bridge, then go straight down the hill following the trail under the White Otter lift. At the base of the White Otter lift, you will see Rope Tow Joe on your left. Press the Start button and the rope tow will bring you to the base of the Cascade lift. As you ski off Cascade make a hard right to the Little Thunder lift which will take you right back to 8 Little Thunder.

Additional Notes
NO PETS, NO SMOKING

We highly recommend 4 wheel drive in the winter months (Oct-May). We don't believe it's a necessity for the summer months but do find it a good idea! Lucky for you, we offer all guests that book with us discounts for rentals in Bozeman!

Events of any size are not allowed when staying at this property in accordance with the neighborhood/HOA rules.

Like most homes in the area, this home does not have A/C. Summer guests are encouraged to take part in good ole' Montana A/C which is opening windows at night and closing them up during the day. Closing them during the day will help keep cool air inside, and we ask that you do so if you are not present at the home as well. 

We are a local property management company. So if there is anything you need before, during, or after your trip, please let us know! 

Transportation to Big Sky from Bozeman Airport
In order to experience all that Big Sky has to offer, it is helpful to have access to a vehicle during your stay. This allows you to travel seamlessly throughout the community from the Gallatin River to Lone Peak. While ride-sharing and taxi services are abundant in other communities, Big Sky remains a small town with limited options for transportation. We offer a 5% discount code to Explore Rentals for confirmed guests. They are located minutes away from the Bozeman Airport and provide 4 wheel drive vehicles with dedicated snow tires in the winter and all-season tires in the summer!
