This was our second vacation with Big Sky Vacation Rentals and we really appreciate and recommend them highly. They strive to make your every need, want or wish a priority. Our family of 11 gathered for a week in this well appointed cabin for a wedding celebration. It was located close to the wedding site, Huntley Lodge, and offered us lots of fun things to do while in Big Sky. The cabin was described very accurately and had recently remodeled the outside deck, what a wonderful place to relax in the hot tub, enjoy the fire pit or just sit taking in all the beautiful scenery and visits from many wild creatures including a moose that spent the day grazing the field outside the cabin! If you have kids they will love love love the pool table, popcorn machine, dart board, Wii and all the games and puzzles provided. We really loved the fireplace upstairs on those cool crisp mornings in August(yes I said August!) and they had everything(wood, fire starters and lighters) we needed to enjoy them. So if your coming to Big Sky just pack a bag and everything else is already here!

The house was a 3 minute drive from the mountain base. Was great for our large group for sleeping, cooking, sitting, playing games, etc. The hot tub was perfect after a day on the slopes and fit a large group. Multiple fire places & lots of fire wood was great. Pool table and other games. Absolutely loved the place.

Property Manager : The team at BSVR was just outstanding! From help with transportation ideas after a delayed flight left me in a predicament at the beginning of vacation, to an immediate response to any minor problem we had at the house. The issues could have easily waited a day or so, but they were at the door within hour or two to take care of things. All were so very pleasant and helpful and we couldnt have been happier with our choice in a home or a service provider. Property: Cardinal Sanctuary was a beautiful, well kept, very clean home with everything we needed to have a wonderful stay in Big Sky. Convienent location and the views are just beautiful from back of home! Kitchen was totally stocked for meals at home and lots of room to spread out for our family of 8. We didnt lack for anything to make the week perfect! Could easily have had another family with us and been very comfortable. We would recommend and return for a stay at this home with no hesitation!

This home was perfect for my family of 13. We had a wonderful time in Big Sky with so many exciting activities to keep us busy. This house had everything we needed and was well stocked with supplies. The view on Sioux Road was so beautiful. We saw deer every morning from our deck. The setting for #7 Sioux Road was nice and private nestled in the trees. The staff with Big Sky Vacation rentals was so helpful and accommodating ensuring that our vacation was enjoyable. They send lots of information prior to your arrival on activities, restaurants and shops in Big Sky. We will definitely come again.

Property: 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. 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.

This home was absolutely perfect for our family of 12. Six adults and six children ranging in ages 9-14. Beautiful views and very peaceful. The kids enjoyed the lower level while the adults lounged on the upper level and deck. We had a great time in the area. Definitely will try and come back!!

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.

Property: 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!

Cardinal Sanctuary well exceeded our big sky expecatations!! The house was perfect for our group of friends and we took advantage of everything the house had to offer. From afternoon soaks in the hot tub to late night popcorn and movies this place felt like home. Try drinking your morning coffee looking directly up Lone Peak and not feelinf blessed. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful place with us and we hope to be back soon!!!

Property Manager: Very helpful and quick to respond! Property: 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!

We spent time at this beautiful property in June of 2014. The new construction at the rear of the house included a large hot tub, 5 foot swing, and fire pit. We enjoyed the fire pit very much on those cool summer evenings!! The morning views from the deck always included wildlife and the naturally flowing water was amazing. We took the short hike to the falls. While driving through the surrounding areas we stopped for many photos of the mountains. The trip to Yellowstone Park made for an awesome day....such natural beauty!! I enjoyed the golf course and even scored a birdie! I hope to play there again on our next visit. We will definitely be visiting this home in the future!! Big Sky Vacation Rentals took care of any needs we had. They even showed us around the house upon our arrival.

Property Manager: 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 Property: 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!

Property: 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!

Property Manager: Big Sky Vacation Rentals were solicitous, friendly, helpful, and communicative. They were on top of any issue. Always friendly and attentive, I'd highly recommend them for anyone coming to Big Sky for skiing or anytime of the year. We loved our house - Cardinal Sanctuary. It was roomy, clean, and very convenient to the ski lift and town. Property: We had a fun stay in Cardinal Sanctuary. Our 4 brothers and 2 sons had a terrific time and loved the friendly and helpful service of Big Sky Vacation Rentals

We thoroughly enjoyed Sioux Roadhouse 7. The house is very spacious with 2 wonderful decks that look out on a charming pond. The brand new hot tub was a relaxing place to unwind after a trip to Yellowstone or nearby Big Sky. All the people Managing Big Sky rentals were very helpful and friendly. The master bedroom had a fantastic shower with 2 shower heads that felt so good and had a lovely stone background. The downstairs was nice and cool where we played pool and made popcorn in the large old fashioned free standing popcorn maker supplied with buttered popcorn. You can't get much better than this in Big Sky Country!! Try out Lake Lavinsky 1/2 mile away, buy their 5 day Adventure package to paddle board, canoe, kayake, rock climb for $59. Also, check out nearby Ousel Falls, they are beautiful. We ate at the Gallatin River Roadhouse Grill, fun atmosphere and tasty chicken dinner with corn, beans, 3 pieces of chicken, coleslaw, and corn on the cob for $7! Don't miss Yellowstone where there are so many wonderful waterfalls, geysers, and natural wonders. We had a fantastic vacation only heightened by this wonderful house and Lone Mountain view.

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!!

Property: 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.

Property Manager: 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. Property: 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.

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. BigSkyVacationRentals 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 only wish they managed properties all over the world!

Property Manager: 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. Property: 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.

We were seeking a place which could accomodate a large family and also had a beautiful view. We found it here. In fact, no one wanted to leave. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. We awoke every morning with a spectacular view of the mountains. We were able to see some wildlife but, the kids wished there were more.

This cabin truly has it all. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with warmth and a home-like atmosphere. All of the furnishings and decorations are well designed to make you feel as comfortable as possible. If that is not enough, the view out of the giant windows or from the huge two story deck will serve to inspire and relax you with every viewing. With the open floor plan of the living room, loft, and kitchen area, the house provides a great gathering space for friends and family to share meals, play games, and simply enjoy each other's company. The location of this cabin can not be beat in the neighborhood. It is extremely close (walkable) to the ski village, but still maintains a wilderness feeling with a large backyard (complete with beaver pond!), and plenty of tree shelter to isolate you from the neighbors. The amenities are also simply perfect. The two-story deck is complete with porch swing, fire pit, foosball table, and hot tub. Indoors there are plenty of comfy beds, an electronic dart board, Wii system, pool table, sauna, and two beautiful fireplaces. Every aspect is well maintained and in good working order. The kitchen is also worth mentioning. Not only is the kitchen are beautiful, but is is fully stocked with every pot, pan, utensil, and kitchen appliance you could need. I am certain you could easily cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner in that kitchen and only have to provide the food! I simply can not wait until my next visit!

We had all sorts of exciting plans like taking the short into drive Yellowstone, we talked about checking out the local hiking and thought about taking advantage of all the fun summertime activities in Big Sky buuuuut once we arrived we ended up just sticking around the house! Between reading on the porch (we were even visited by a couple of lady moose one morning!), playing pool & board games, napping and relaxing in the hot tub, our weekend was full. We did venture out for meals, of course. We would highly recommend Bugaboo (breakfast & lunch), Bucks-T4 (steak & potatoes) and Blue Moon Bakery (bagels & pizza)...yummm!

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.

They came by and met us when we arrived and provided great insight on restaurants and activities for the area. Property: Would not hesitate to book again. We loved the home and the area. Worked well with two families.

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!

Property Manager:Every interaction I had with Big Sky Vacation Rentals was a positive one. Prior to committing to the rental, I found the staff I spoke with to be very knowledgeable about the house, it's location, and the area itself. During our stay they available to help us as needed and did an excellent job maintaining the house (snow removal, etc). Very professional organization. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Property: This is a wonderful property. The house has an incredible view of Lone Peak and everything throughout is first class. Regarding ski access-it is a very short walk (5 minutes) to the White Otter ski lift. One of the members of our group was strong enough to ski it. Either way we did not need a car to access Big Sky-the location is great. The staff of Big Sky Vacation Rentals does an excellent job maintaining the house (snow removal/clearing walkways, etc...). A couple of other things that really made the stay for us was the hot tub with an awesome view of the mountain, the wood burning fireplace (there is ample wood supplied to the house), and the selection of games to keep everyone entertained at night. We will be back!

Property: 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!!

Property: 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.
