A mere 15-minute drive to Big Sky Resort, the home offers a blend of rustic charm, thoughtful design, and secluded mountain magic. Spread over two levels, this four-bedroom, stand-alone home boasts large cedar log beam supports, cozy furnishings, modern amenities, and a spacious layout that offers several areas for your group to spread out.

As you enter the cabin, prepare to be transported to a simpler time when log cabins were king, and the only sounds were those of the great outdoors. The living area features an open floor plan with plush sofas and a grand fireplace to warm your spirits. A game table with window seating and a piano for guests to entertain themselves offers great fun, while a large flat screen TV is nearby for watching the big game.

Imagine stepping onto the porch with your morning cup of coffee or evening drink, and taking in the breathtaking views that showcase some of the best vistas in the area.

Hungry? Head to the kitchen & dining area. The kitchen boasts a gas stove, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of counter space that provide plenty of room for the chef in your group. The dining area has a large table with seating for up to eight and seating at the breakfast bar with room for three more. Additionally, there is also a breakfast nook with seating for four more for overflow seating on the screened-in porch.

When you're ready to rest easy, head to one of the four bedrooms. The main level Primary King Suite has everything you need including a walk-in closet and attached ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and shower. Also on this level, find the Twin bedroom with two Twin beds and shares a full bathroom with hallway access.

We had an excellent stay at this vacation rental in Big Sky! The home and the surrounding area were absolutely beautiful, and it was the perfect place for our group of nine during a two-family vacation. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, relax, and enjoy time together.
The only minor issue was that the home doesn’t have air conditioning, so it got pretty warm upstairs during our stay. However, the property management team was very responsive and quickly brought us additional fans, which made a difference. Their customer service really stood out.
There was so much to do both around Big Sky and at the property itself, making it easy to keep everyone entertained. We enjoyed the scenery, outdoor activities, and simply spending time together in such a comfortable setting.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely stay here again. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Big Sky area!

The Chief Hose Lodge was more amazing than the photos. The views were beautiful and it was very private which was nice with a big group. It was about a 10 min drive to the parking lot to ski which was divine. There were plenty of bathrooms and showers to accommodate a big group and we loved how there were so many areas to gather as we were there for several nights. The Team was very responsive and answered any question we had, brought us more wood, and were responsive before we arrived so we knew what we had to pack and what we didn't. We would absolutely stay here again!

We had a great time in this beautiful cabin. Easy access to the slopes and far enough away for a chill evening

The pictures of the house don’t even do it justice. The close proximity to the mountain and easy drive from Bozeman make this a great place to stay for a ski trip at Big Sky. The owners were very helpful and communicative, and the place has such awesome personality. I would definitely return for another stay!

If you are looking for a peaceful getaway where the views are a priority, this property is for you. Our family used this property instead of
A hotel for a family wedding in town. It was so convenient to have extra space to relax & chill inbetween activities. We would suggest not having young children in this home as there are Knick knacks everywhere that would be tempting for young ones. We had rented two different homes so we’re able to place the young ones in the other home. This home is a step back in time with antiques but it adds to the charm. The large dining room table fostered family conversations as well as the fire pit. The home is in an ideal
Location, close To restaurants and shops. We had a wonderful time while
In Big Sky and were extremely comfortable in this home.
