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.
