Cardinal Sanctuary | Big Sky Montana Resort Rental

This home was amazing. Very clean, nicely decorated and spacious. Everything you could need or want was there.

Here again......all the right questions were asked. Seems like you knew what we needed before we ever had to ask! This was an absolutely incredible place to stay!!! The chalet was immaculate!!!! Cant say enough about how the rental agency took care of us.......from shoveling snow on our steps to delivering our lift tickets!!! Thanks so very much!!!!

Definitely will be back!!!! Amazing views......super comfortable....all the amenities a large group would ever need. Five stars in our book!!!! The best stocked chalet we had ever rented.......super!!!

Barely worked with them. They made it super easy to just do everything on my own which is what I prefer.

Fantastic cabin that fit 11 of us. Great price and great amenities. Super close to the ski resort.

This cabin was amazing! The location is great as it is just a 3 minute drive to the main big sky ski area. The cabin itself is stunning. The living room and kitchen area has large windows so you can see the beautiful mountains. There were heaters in each room and firewood provided. Everything was great and I will definitely stay here again.

This has become an annual trip for our group of friends and while all the homes we've rented from Big Sky Vacation Rentals have been great, this house was especially amazing! The views from the deck and the view from the lower deck hot tub are breathtaking! The game room downstairs and large kitchen are great for big groups. Even though it isn't ski in/out you're so close the free skier parking that it's just as quick to the base as following the runs in/out of the other ski accessed condo areas.

Big Sky Rentals was superb to work with. They stayed attentive and informative the entire process and up until a day before our departure. They came by and met us when we arrived and provided great insight on restaurants and activities for the area.

Would not hesitate to book again. We loved the home and the area. Worked well with two families but certainly would suit more, but we wanted more room for spreading out.

Loved working with the staff at Big Sky and the whole process was easy. The customer service was amazing. The process was easy and communication was above reproach

The property is very well designed and taken care of. The floor plan worked perfectly for three families to share. We had 14 people stay comfortably and did not feel crowded. The owners thought of EVERYTHING! It was so easy and stress free. I loved the view from the balconies, sitting in the hot tub while looking at the beautiful mountains and sleeping in great beds! It was well stocked and super clean. I LOVED everything about it!

BSVR members where helpful and accessible when we needed to get hold of them. A representative of the BSVR visited us on our first day to review the rental policies and give suggestions or advice on the area or the house.

Cardinal Sanctuary was the perfect vacation house! Very well supplied with all the essentials for a relaxing stay. We had our grandchildren with us and they enjoyed playing inside as well as outside. We enjoyed grilling and cooking meals after a long day of outdoor activities in the area. Sitting on either deck was just what vacation is suppose to be-relaxing. The location is close enough to stores and restaurants and still far enough away that you feel you and the mountain are the only ones around. There are great restaurants and shopping nearby. We visited Yellowstone twice, my son rented a mountain bike and rode several trails nearby, most of us went white water rafting and hiked several trails.

Very helpful and quick to respond!

I staid in Cardinal Sanctuary in December 2016 with my family, and it was every thing I ever dreamed of and more! To start, the views are incredible from this lodge. Sipping coffee and viewing Lone Peak every morning was a delight. I slept in the loft bedroom, and it was very spacious, almost felt like a mini apartment. The noise nor the light was not a problem as I could close the shades on the window behind the bed and the bed itself sat tucked into the loft, so morning light or people in the kitchen will not wake you. Every amenity is made available to you from boot dryers in the garage, to a popcorn machine in the basement. The sauna adds a nice "Finnish" touch to this Western rustic place. There's a hot tub on the balcony, in which we used every night, even when the outside temperature was in the single digits! Sitting in the warm bubbles with a nice alcoholic beverage, and gazing at Lone Peak in the moonlight, is like being in your own romantic movie! Let's talk about the accessibility because this place is close to everything! Getting to Big Sky Resort and the ski lifts from this place is hard to beat since there are ski trails leading directly from the house to the ski lifts. Although, we opted to take the quick 3 minute warm drive around the corner to the lifts instead. Driving down the mountain to the town of Big Sky takes a scenic 20 minutes to many superb restaurants and shopping. Yellowstone National Park (West entrance) is only 50 minutes away, and about an hour from the city of Bozeman and their airport. My favorite feature of Cardinal Sanctuary is its fire place. It is very big and allows you to build your own fire, which warms the living room to a nice toasty temperature. We even took a family photo in front of it! All in all, Cardinal Sanctuary is the place you want to be all year long when you come to visit Big Sky. Views, amenities, and accessibility you can't beat!

The Big Sky team contacted us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed for check in and check out. It was great. We also need to contact them during our stay due to a minor issue with the water heater room. They were friendly and responsive and the issue was fixed immediately. Painless process! Staff is excellent.

Great house for two or three families. The layout makes it easy to be together and have separate space. Kitchen is equipped with everything and anything! Also, Big Sky rentals supplies the shampoo/soap, basic paper products and laundry soap. Fantastic.

Wonderful! This house was the perfect setting for our family gathering in December. The home is so cozy and comfy; the perfect place to return to after a day on the mountain. The home is a 1 minute drive to the free skier parking or skier drop location, making it very convenient. The boot dryer in the garage was also much appreciated! We utilized the sauna several times and relaxed in the hot tub each night of our stay. There are a couple large puzzles in the home that we had a good time putting together over several days of our stay, good ole wholesome family fun! There is so much to do in the area and at the house but if you need a good Netflix binge there is a Roku stick in the loft bedroom. The kitchen had all of the hardware we needed to cook several meals, including a crockpot, which was nice. There is a small home being built next door but a cluster of trees serves as a nice barrier so privacy and quiet is still maintained. I would absolutely recommend the Cardinal Sanctuary to anyone interested in a Big Sky vacation. We can't wait for our next stay!

This home is centrally located between the Big Sky ski slopes and Yellowstone National Park. It can be used for family reunions (sleeps 14) or small weddings on the balcony overlooking the mountain. We were there for spring break and witnessed the first few days of spring and an beautiful snow fall which made the skiers happy. At night we went into Big Sky for some wonderful meals and finished up in the huge covered hot tub looking out on the starry sky. The home's large glass windows look out on the mountain and a small stream where you can often see moose. It has every amenity that you could want including an outdoor gas grill and fire pit. We highly recommend this property and will definitely return.

Fantastic place and location. Every amenity you could want. Great hiking and sightseeing. Only an hour from Yellowstone. Great food. Beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

We were super happy with this beautiful home. The house was perfectly set up for a group of most any size. We had 10 in our party and had teenage children and younger ones as well. All were very happy with the house and had plenty of room. They really enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and spacious. We loved the deck and the view. We enjoyed a day of zip lining and whitewater rafting both within minutes of the cabin. 3 other days we made the trip to Yellowstone to take in all of the parks beauty as well. On our last day we were pleasantly surprised to wake up to moose in the front yard next to the beaver pond. We would love a return visit some day.

This property has it all! Stunning views of Lone Mountain, a meadow, and a beaver pond from both the upper and lower decks. A porch swing, barbecue, outdoor gas fire pit for making s'mores, hot tub, and sauna. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and the beds super comfortable. The bathrooms spacious with beautiful tile work. The house and property have several different areas to play games or visit so you can gather all together or find a place to just be by yourself for a bit if you want to. Plenty of TV's if you just can't resist your favorite show, but we didn't watch any when we were there because there is so much else to do. The kitchen is well supplied for cooking up your favorite meal if you want to eat in. Too warm for us to have one, but there is also indoor fireplaces with all the needed supplies to have a lovely fire inside when it is chilly. We took advantage of several of the local hikes, as well as white water rafting and zip lining. The wildflowers were blooming everywhere, and so many streams and rivers are in the area to enjoy. It was an easy 50 minute drive to Yellowstone-we went two different days and saw most of the park. Bozeman is also not far, and we want to visit some of the cute small towns in the area when we visit next time.

What a beautiful place!! We couldn't have asked for a better 'fit' for our vacation needs... this cabin truly has it all: beautiful kitchen, 2 fireplaces, 2-story deck, sauna, hot tub, pool table, dart board, board games, and a GREAT mountain view!! It is a very short drive (probably 2 min.) to Big Sky Resort. The kitchen is even stocked with some necessities! The kitchen/dining/living room were all open - which is perfect for a large group gathering & meal sharing. We wanted to take our little guys sledding... which there is not a real spot for at the resort... BUT all we had to do was walk out our front door. The cabin is built into the side of a hill/mountain, so we were able to sled right at the cabin. There is also a groomed trail a little ways down the road, that apparently takes you to the mountain for skiing. We had 9 people staying - could easily have accommodated 4-5 more people. There is a loft upstairs with a queen size bed & futon (not a lot of privacy). On the main level there is a master bedroom (w/ king size bed) & it's own bathroom. There is also a 2nd bedroom with a queen size bed & a main bath. Downstairs, there is a bedroom with a queen size bed & a 2nd bedroom with 2 sets of bunk beds & there is a separate bathroom (with sauna). WONDERFUL experience - would definitely do it again!!

TripAdvisor Review: A Room with a View...and a whole lot more- My mini-family reunion was made unforgettable in Big Sky. We stayed in this well maintained and updated property on our most recent trip to Big Sky and could not have more pleased. There was plenty of room to spread out and just enjoy each others' company. The lower level was a big hit with the popcorn maker, pool table and easy access to the hot tub. We didn't really watch a lot of tv but there are plenty to go around. Tv kind of pales in comparison to the drop dead gorgeous view out the back . Big Sky's signature mountain, Lone Peak is perfectly framed for you to enjoy over breakfast. Big Sky Vacation Rental was very helpful in making this trip happen for us. They are true professionals and know what makes for a great vacation. They give great recommendations for activities and will even send 'round a van to pick you up. They are readily available to make reservations, answer questions, or solve a problem. They also provide some the best Chapstick I have run across . I am not a skier , but there is plenty to do in the area without strapping on skis. We enjoyed a sleigh ride dinner at Lone Mountain Ranch. A sleigh ride on a cold, clear January night will make an astronomer out of anybody. For the animal lover in your group,a scenic drive down the road to West Yellowstone will take you to the Grizzly and Wolf Center. They are open year-round and I think, definitely worth a look see. And even if you don't ski, hanging out at the resort is still a lot of fun. I would definitely choose this home again and recommend it to any family, big or small. Can't wait to get back to Big Sky!

TripAdvisor Review: Sioux Road House- I cannot say enough about this wonderful property. It is a clean, well maintained property with a cozy feel and all the amenities one could ask for. We rented two houses for a wedding gathering and Sioux Rd was definitely the favorite of the two. The house is ideally situated for Big Sky skiing as well as West Yellowstone access and is an easy drive from the Bozeman airport. Big Sky Vacation Rentals management company did absolutely everything imaginable to make our stay easy and comfortable. They met us on arrival, accepted and shipped packages, had snow plowed and were available 24/7 for any issues (although we had none). I have rented many vacation homes. I only wish they managed properties all over the world!

TripAdvisor Review: Great location, beautiful views and lots of amenities- We enjoyed a family gathering with fifteen people in this beautiful cabin. There was plenty of room for everyone. The dart board, pool table, Foosball table and popcorn machine provided lots of entertainment, especially for the kids. The cabin was well appointed with nice furniture that fit the log cabin style. The kitchen was very well equipped for preparing meals for fifteen. This was my second experience staying in a house managed by Big Sky Vacation Rentals. Again I was very pleased with the service they provided and the cleanliness of the home. We had two issues with the place while there. The hot tub jets were not working (only a few of them would turn on) and the sauna had too small of a circuit breaker installed so it would trip every five minutes. After calling management they promptly had service men out to address the issues the next morning. The sauna breaker was corrected but the hot tub was only partially fixed. To complete the repair would require draining the tub completely. Big Sky Vacation Rentals was very up front about the ski access. It is not ski out. But it is an easy walk to the White Otter lift or a very short (1 minute?) drive to the next road where you could park or be dropped off right at the White Otter lift. You can ski in almost all the way to the house but boarders had to walk or shuffle a good distance. Big Sky Vacation Rentals also offered us complimentary priority shuttle pick ups in the morning but we had some non skiers/boarders in the group so we were able to just do pick ups and drop offs more easily on our own. One major draw back we found with this property was the lack of a boot drying system. It isn't listed in the amenities but I had just assumed it would be there in a ski cabin. We gave the drier a good work out and the sauna also came in handy to dry out liners, boots, gloves, etc.
