We loved this property. and Would love an opportunity to stay at it again. The ski in/ski out was great. Well stocked with all the essentials to cook. Beautiful picture window.
We had a fabulous Big Sky Ski vacation and this property was amongst the highlights. Amazing views, all amenities were beyond expectations. Great communication with rental company, highly responsive and on point when needed.
This property had everything your family will need. The beds were great, super clean, nothing but high praise. I would definitely recommend this property for your next ski vacation.
We loved the privacy, scenic views and spacious home!! We had a wedding at the Yellowstone Club so didn’t realize we would be so far up and down and up the mountain but it all worked out!! Easy drive into town!! Loved the hot jacuzzi waiting for us when we woke up the next morning!!
We enjoyed our time in moonlight basin. The cabin was perfect for drinks of the deck, games at the table, and coffee on the couch staring at the Spanish peaks. The cabin was comfortable and cozy. This was exactly what we were looking for and we would without a doubt stay again.
coming from Florida, this felt great to be in 40s and 50s and the place was cozy with fireplace and hot tub and yet also huge!. Three levels and a fantastic kitchen
Ski in/ski out with easy access to Iron horse lift. Beautiful house looking at the mountains. Hot tub was a plus. Location perfect for us but pretty remote and would require 4 WD in winter months.

Home was beautiful and kitchen was so well equipped
Our family of 5 loved the house
The view of the Spanish peaks
The easy of going out lower level door to hit the slopes, wood biting fireplace and a well equipped kitchen made our spring ski vacation perfect! Now if only we would have had snow😥
Fantastic property, great ski-in/ski-out location, newer finishes, all essential kitchen, bathroom, and washer supplies provided. Our family of 5 had plenty of space. We really enjoyed the fireplace, hot-tub, and grill. Management was very helpful and responsive. Most importantly the skiing was fantastic! Would definitely stay here again.
We didnt get to stay in our original booking due to maintenance issue but were moved to a bigger place. Very nice location and beautiful home. Would definitely recommend to people, plus a fox greeted us every morning and evening 😀
We loved this house on on 5 Derringer. We have been to Big Sky many times ..this was our favorite place to stay. It was up on the mountain so when it rained it snowed up there...we were delighted ...snow in August...we came from hot, muggy, Ga so we loved it.
Holly and Megan and all the people at Big Sky Vacation Rentals were so attentive and hospitable. When you book with them, they personally call you, email you tons of information and stay in touch with you via text or email to make sure everything is good during your stay. Trust me, this group is on top of their business!
I highly recommend Big Sky Vacation Rentals and we loved the house! They are very knowledgeable they manage a lot of properties in Big Sky so you cannot go wrong booking with them.
