We would love to stay here again. This house has it all. Our family really enjoyed it. The views are amazing from the living room. Can't say that enough. Hot tub is large. Kitchen is great and well stocked with cooking items. I could go on and on but the bottom line is that this house was awesome and we would absolutely come back.
4.8
The property was beautiful and the location was great. The kitchen however leaves quite a bit to be desired. The oven did not work and the cooking pots, pans, and utensils were awful. It was hard to get reservations for dinner in the Big Sky area even starting weeks in advance, so If you plan on making breakfast or any meals you had better plan on bringing some cooking gear! The kitchen for us was a real letdown to the experience.

Great, except for animals in walls
The house is beautiful, great location, well furnished. We were thrilled until the first night when we were playing pool in the lower level and began to hear several animals inside the walls and ceiling scratching very loudly. They could be easily heard in both bedrooms, one of the bathrooms, and above the pool table. Obviously nobody wanted to sleep in those rooms, so the six of us packed into the upstairs rooms. We promptly notified the management. The only response we got is that the maintenance people "set up some traps"- no further follow-up. The animals were just as loud the next two nights. I realize this is not an easy problem to fix, but staying in an expensive 4 bedroom home for three nights and only having use of 2 bedrooms is unacceptable. I'd recommend looking into houses with a different management group.

Tranquil Cabin
We stayed here with a large group, 12 people and a lot of kids. Everyone had ample space and there was a lot to keep everyone busy, from the pool table and Wii to the hot tub and fire pit. The management company provided wood and fire starter as well as heated the hot tub before arrival. Great touches. There is also a small creek in the backyard, we enjoyed hanging out and listening to the running water. Saw multiple elk and deer from our window, and the living room window has an incredible view of lone mountain. Overall great stay, everyone left happy and content.

Lovely Mountain House
This was our first visit to Big Sky and we could not have been happier with the house. It was spacious, very clean and comfortable beds. The seating was perfect for our group and the view of the mountain was incredible. We cannot wait to return.

Perfect accommodations for our family. Love the bedrooms on different level. 5 small children loved to ski all day come home and played in the snow until dark. Most meals made at this lovely home with so many amenities. Great hot tub. One of my sons left gloves outside on porch and the next morning found one glove chewed on, and the other one was gone. We were able to see fox at least twice. The ski in, ski out worked well even for the littlest ones. Many beautiful memories made.

Nice house, but too close to busy roadways. Although that may not deter others from enjoying their stay, we were expecting less traffic.

Big Dog Lodge
We had a fantastic family vacation at the Big Dog Lodge! The house is spacious, very well equipped and has beautiful views of Lone Peak. There is a nice walk to the lake and resort area to enjoy all the activities. The management was very responsive to our requests and made sure we had everything we needed. We would gladly stay again! The only item to note is that you can hear the traffic from the road across the street, so it’s not super quiet when out on the deck. There’s quite a bit of construction (and thus large trucks) going on this summer, so that might be the reason.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Our 3 year old grandson said he didn't want to leave and wanted this house to be his house! I rented this home based on the living area spaciousness and views. They did not disappoint. Gorgeous view of lone peak from the living room and we had so much room to lounge. The decks were great(3) views of the treed hillside and creek. Location was a good with proximity to resort and also a short drive to town. We enjoyed the hot tub and everything about the home. One of the hair dryers did not work but there were 3 others available. I think our stay was so enjoyabe because we had such a nice place to come home to. Rent this home with confidence.

Booked this vacation with the money President Biden and congress stole from the American tax payer! The property is very nice, the remote control for the upstairs fireplace was nice, not sure if fire place worked down stairs couldn’t figure out how to turn it on, over all it was a very nice trip

Amazing Home!!!
We loved every minute in this house. We had everything we needed and then some. I will stay here again and again when I'm in the area, and would strongly recommend anyone looking for a beautiful home in the Big Sky area to stay here.

Fantastic home with an incredible view.
Extremely comfortable stay. House is huge well appointed with lots of conveniences. Loved the pool table and luxury hot tub. The owners might want to consider modifying the VRBO listing to indicate that, while it is ski-in, it is not exactly ski-out. There’s sort of a ski-path along the road on the snow bank, but it would require you taking your skis off maybe five times when you cross folks’ driveways. We ended up just walking, and it’s quite a long walk to the trail that takes you to the Thunder Wolf lift—maybe 1/3 of a mile. Also, I had some trouble with the heat in my bedroom, which didn’t cool down below the mid-70s all night, so I ended up leaving the window open all night. But in all these were pretty minor inconveniences. The house really is great.

Good time in Big Sky
Everything was great, but we are used to higher quality towels, tissue and toiletries. Why skimp on creature comforts in such a spectacular setting? Kitchen needs plastic ware

Great House!
We had a large group and the house was just perfect. Good sized rooms and space enough for everyone. The location was great and the views of Lone Peak were fantastic from the living room. It is a short walk to the lift and you are right at the main resort. The teenagers in our group loved the pool table and downstairs game room. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a great house with a great location.
