What a perfect cabin this was for a ski trip! We were able to easily ski out and back in, it was so convenient!
One great memory there was waking up just before dawn and seeing the silhouette of the mountain and the lights of the cabin across the valley shining like a Christmas village.
The hot tub was great after a day of skiing. The rooms were clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. It was a weekend we will never forget!

Wonderful location and great condo for the whole family. We will definitely return!

Great place for a sky vaction - the property is all as it was described and more. The ski in/ski out-ability was very good and very easy.

The view from this location is amazing, easy drive to get to the village. However there were some strange things that happened and updates that are needed. The fireplace has no barriers or safety features. With young children this was a concern and one of them burned their hands on it just by touching the pane accidentally. The downstairs shower pressure was so hard painful and the upstairs hardly came out. The washer had no center piece so clothes didn’t get washed well and the dryer had to run it through twice to get items to dry. We received a text that a someone was coming to look at sink and they’d tell us when. No one ever gave us more information and the next day someone showed up saying there was a sink turned off, which we couldn’t find one they couldn’t. It is near the hill but should be noted it’s uphill to return to place, having to click off skis traverse up a steep hill and walk down the road back to place. We liked the place just were dissapointed in some of the amenities and safety.

Can't wait to go back!
We absolutely LOVED this property! Not only was it clean and well appointed, it was super comfortable! We loved the location and enjoyed several hikes directly from the townhouse, as well as the ease of getting to basecamp. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with towels. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was well stocked with everything that we needed. We loved relaxing on the large couch, watching movies... almost as much as watching the Olympics, from the hot tub with Lone Peak in the background. We can't wait to go back!

I've been renting ski houses/condos for the better part of 20 years, and what made this one stand out was the incredible job done by property managers Acra and Chris Samuels - possibly the best I've experienced. They were consistently pro-active in communicating important/helpful information and were incredibly responsive to any requests/inquiries we made. They went "above and beyond" to make our stay an enjoyable one - thank you Acra and Chris! Regarding the property, it was "as advertised" - nice location on slope above Pony Express chair. Moonlight was more "central" than I recalled, making it easy to return to the condo each day for lunch. Unit was very clean and kitchen well appointed. We chose to walk ~100 yds to bottom of Iron Horse lift rather than ski down to PE, and then "skied" through parking lot to get home - very easy. Great experience overall.

Big Sky Family Vacation
We are a family of four and really enjoyed our stay here. The unit is ski in/ski out, views of the mountain are incredible, unit is well appointed and very clean. Plenty of room for our family with extra for a few more. Management was very responsive and helpful. Would 100% come here again!

My fiance and I needed a vacation since all of our plans got cancelled this year. We just needed to get out of Chicago and unplug. The Samuels’ property was 10/10 AMAZING! We would highly recommend it for a romantic getaway or for a family vacation. It’s close to horseback riding, golf courses, hiking/biking trails, and lots of rivers and lakes for fishing. It’s only a couple hours away from Yellowstone as well. We would love to come back in the winter for a ski trip. Big Sky is gorgeous!!

Great stay, beautiful views
The condo was furnished well, clean, and plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful views of the mountains from the top deck and the bottom one from the hot tub. The beds are not extremely comfy, but plenty of blankets and pillows to keep warm and cozy during the night. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if we were ever in Big Sky again.

Great condo on the slopes
We had a wonderful week in February on our second stay at Saddle Ridge with a family of five with kids ages 6, 10, 15. Great snow, sunrise from every window, incredible views. Smart TV.s spacious rooms, Simple decor, fully appointed kitchen, Modern laundry, clean. Excellent outdoor hot tub. Last time in April the long walk on the road carrying skis was a bit of a pain , but this time the road was snow covered, making the unit truly ski in and ski out. We love being up high in the mountains near the tree line , although it’s a long winding road back to the main town for shopping and restaurants.

Great location and space!
Our group enjoyed our stay in this townhouse at Moonlight Basin. The property was clean, well furnished with all we needed and hosts had great communication. The location was great (ski in ski out off the Iron Horse lift).

Beyond Expectations
Coordination with Acra was extremely smooth, very attentive and responsive. Location was incredible as was the Moonlight club which we choose to use during our stay. Condo was updated and spotless, very well taken care of and will certainly be renting again!

Beautiful Location and Place!! Highly Rec.
Acra was an exceptional host. They were able to provide a pack and play for us which was such a huge help so we didn't have to ship one across the country. The views from the condo were breathtaking. What a great space and location. We attended a wedding at Moonlight basin and it was right next door! I loved the welcome basket with snacks and chapsticks which was a great touch. I hope to rent again in the winter. Thank you again!

Spring Break
Great location. As advertised.
4.9
Good on-mountain location
Good location on saddle ridge on the mountain, though not quite ski-in, ski-out. Required a short walk. Well appointed, if a little dated. Rooms a tad small. Loved the access to moonlight lodge.
4.9
Great location, perfect setup for large family or small group ski trip
We had a total of 7 people from 2 families for the trip. Chris and Acra were fantastic to work with - quick replies and helpful tips. The townhome was a perfect setup; with one family taking the top floor (master bedroom king bed plus a twin sleeping “loft”) and the other family taking the basement walkout floor (2 bedrooms). Everything in the unit was very nice, well equipped kitchen, plenty of closet space and storage, and with 2 1/2 baths and a washer + dryer. The outdoor hot tub was hot and clean and easy to use. The location right off the trail and just 100 yards below the Moonlight Basin club made for easy ski out and ski in. Ski out to Pony Express lift, or walk 100 yards to Iron Horse lift. Ski in from either lift and also coming over from Six Shooter lift. Everyone in our group was very happy with the place, couldn’t have asked for anything more. The fresh 20” of snow was just an added bonus.
4.9
Clean but older townhome
Beds were clean and comfy, very clean overall. Kitchen could have used a few more pans and utensils. But I also cooked Xmas dinner there. Hot tub was well cared for. The moonlight lodge was extra but worth it. Extra 750 for 6 day stay for 5 people. This gave you access to all the lodge amenities. Overall it was ok but the townhome was older and we were either hot or cold do to the three story one HVAC system, but the binder for the apartment pointed that out. Considering what we payed I am not sure if I would rent again.
