Introducing The Happy Moose!
This 3-bedroom + large sleeping basement, 3.5-bathroom home is located in the heart of Big Sky Meadow. Easily walk or bike to restaurants, local drinkeries, shops, and grocery stores. Additionally, walk to the community park to enjoy activities such as; hiking, disc golf, kids playground, walking trails along the creek, basketball courts, and tennis/pickleball courts. You will find a genuine home away from home feel at this cozy mountain home tucked into the heart of Big Sky.
In Winter, find yourself nestled into the heart of this cozy ski community. The legendary Big Sky Resort is just a 7-mile drive (10-15 minutes). Big Sky Resort or, "The American Alps," grants you access to some the BIGGEST skiing in North America. The home is less than a 5-minute walk to access Big Sky's groomed Nordic ski system maintained by the notorious Lone Mountain Ranch. Other close by Winter adventures include snowmobile tours, sleigh-ride dinners, snow-coach tours of Yellowstone National Park and guided ski tours in Yellowstone.
In Summer, enjoy community events such as the Farmer's Market and Big Sky's free Summer Concert Series (Summer events are generally spanning from mid-June through early-September). Additionally, being in the heart of it all you can quickly access the local trail system managed by the Big Sky Community Organization. Find yourself roaming Big Sky from trails rated easy to difficult, short to long, and meticulously maintained by the local community! Find the historic Crail Ranch Trail being the closest to the home. Other close by Summer adventures include whitewater rafting, guided fly fishing, kayaking, zip-lining, horseback riding, hiking, hot air balloon rides, world-class mountain biking and more!
For the Yellowstone National Park adventurer, this home grants quick access to highway 191 south which leads you to the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Marvel at the unspoiled scenery during your 45-minute drive along the historic Gallatin River to the entrance of the park. This section of the park provides access to Old Faithful, Gibbon Falls, the largest gathering of Bison, and hiking trails. The section of land between Big Sky and the entrance to Yellowstone also offers several hiking trails and world-class fishing access.

We had a wonderful time staying at Staying Happy Moose!
Everything was exactly as advertised, communication was great, and we had a great time! Couldn't recommend this place enough!
10.0 / 10.0
This place worked well for us and our friends. Great communication, and we loved the proximity to the restaurants in town!
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay in Big Sky - plenty of room and great lounging spaces. Being close to both nordic and downhill skiing was a huge perk.

The Happy Moose was a great location for our party of 10 adults ski vacation to Big Sky. It is spacious and clean and well-located to the ski area and other local activities, etc. We made good use of the hot tub and were visited in the front yard by a mama and baby moose! Wilson Properties was also helpful and accessible.

The Moose is a nice home located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed ate time there!
8.0 / 10.0
We had a really nice stay. The house was very nice and very clean. The location was great for getting to and from where we wanted to go. There was lots of space! We just had our family of 4, but could have easily housed 4 more. The kids loved the hot tub. The beds were comfortable and the house has very nice natural cooling compared to others we’ve stayed in (lots of shade, good air flow).
We’ve been to Big Sky 3 times in the last couple years. We rated this house a 4 star vs a 5 for some very simple reasons (some out of their control).
1. There is really bad construction on the main road through Big Sky. Traffic is backing up for miles. The street that the house is on is being used by many as a cut through to avoid that traffic. Between 7-9 am an 4-6 pm there was a constant flow of traffic by the house, even though there is a sign in the neighborhood about “no thru traffic”. Not their fault, but also not ideal in such a serene environment.
2. The only other knock was that we did not feel that the kitchen/pantry was truly fully furnished (at least not as well as others we’ve stayed at in the area). Just little things that could possibly improve future stays (pizza cutter, pans for cooking in the oven, salt, etc). Minor minor things, but comparing to others in the same price range, 4 star was accurate.

Perfect location to the village and hikes and bike trails.
We walked to the village almost everyday or evening.
Loved the hot tub after a day out on the trails

Place was as advertised and more.
Very clean, very accessible, and landlords were there to help.
10.0 / 10.0
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The kids (ages 12-9) LOVED the bunk room! The property was in a nice, quiet neighborhood and also very close to the resort. They were also very good about snow removal and responsive. Could not have asked for a better experience.
10.0 / 10.0
Easily fit our group of 9, we never felt crowded. Everyone agreed, we would all come back. Specifically, the teens enjoyed the downstairs bunkroom with giant bean bags, even though there is not a door to close off the room from the rest of the house. The three other bedrooms were actually big enough we didn't have to step over suitcases to get around. The padded dining chairs were appreciated by sore skiers. The driveway easily held cars, and could have fit six, the garage is not available for parking. We chose to drive to the resort due to free parking and rides to the base. It would be possible to drive to the bus stop, but the bus runs only every 30 minutes.
10.0 / 10.0
Our stay at the Happy Moose made our first trip to Big Sky amazing! We had 4 adults, 3 college age and 2 high school with plenty of space. The property management was attentive and even brought us a brand new crockpot when we couldn’t find the one that was supposed to be in the house. The inside of the house is extremely clean and updated with all the comforts of home. We will definitely stay here again!
10.0 / 10.0
Very nice property for our group of 8. Plenty of space for 4 couples. One recommendation is to add more hooks and towel racks to bathrooms and bedrooms. Also would add some rugs and /or yoga mat so us older skiers can stretch before/after skiing. Overall very nice and woudl book again. Thank you.

House was great for 10 people. Hot Tub was nice and location was close to Big Sky resort
10.0 / 10.0
I was nervous bc we are a party of 9 and sometimes the pics can be deceiving in regards to space (fish lens, angles, etc) In this case the place was actually larger than expected. You get all 3 floors, sleeps 10 comfortably. Great communication and service from the management. Would def recommend and stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
This is a great place to stay. Loved the the hot tub. The management was really nice. A couple things we didn't realize in reading the description, there is a space that has bunks, there are no doors to that room, and you cannot use the garage, and there is not a pantry for food items. These were not a great deterent to us, but it is good to know them if you're looking at this place. Overall we were happy with this place.
10.0 / 10.0
House was very clean and well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

Big Sky stay
This property was wonderful. Close to town, plenty of space for parking, and great views. The rooms and entire place were very clean upon arrival, and the property manager was very communicative throughout the entire process. Highly recommend.

Convenient and Spacious
Exactly what we were looking for to do some skiing at Big Sky with some friends that weekend. Would rent again!
