Ski in/out home w/private hot tub, sauna, fireplace & great views - Low Dog Mountain Chalet
Welcome to Low Dog Mountain Chalet ! This is not your average ski house. Not even close.
At 2,500 square feet spread across four stories with a loft, this ultra-contemporary ski-in/ski-out home sits on the mountainside above Middle Fork Creek with views down the valley that genuinely take your breath away. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows, cathedral ceilings, a funky round jetted tub in the guest ensuite, a wraparound bar in the kitchen, and a fireplace that earns its keep after every powder day. Every room has something that makes you stop and say wow.
Warm up inside with three ways to do it right. The indoor sauna on the lower level is perfect for sore muscles after a long day on the mountain. The indoor hot tub is your cozy retreat when the weather turns. And the private outdoor hot tub looks straight out at Lone Peak. Pick your favorite or work through all three.
The kitchen is as fun as the rest of the house. Cook something great and serve it up at the wraparound bar while the mountains sit in the background. Then head upstairs, or downstairs, and pick your room. Every bedroom has its own character, floor-to-ceiling windows, unique finishes, and that feeling that this place was designed by someone who actually loves being in the mountains.
In winter, making first tracks is almost too easy. Walk down the driveway, click into your skis, and head to the Thunder Wolf lift when snow conditions allow, or take a short walk up to the Bear Back Poma lift. The rest of the group can stay behind by the fireplace. Everyone wins.
In summer, Middle Fork Creek runs right through the property, accessible by a path that leads you straight to one of those quiet Montana moments that is hard to find anywhere else. And if you are bringing your dog, good news. This home welcomes one furry guest.
This is the kind of place that becomes the trip everyone talks about for years.
Ski-in and Ski-out Access: Ski-in and out to Big Sky Resort. Best for skiers. Possible for children and snowboarders, but ski-in can be more difficult for these groups. Ski-Out | Travel down the road to the Thunderwolf Lift. Ski-in | Intermediate and expert take Silverknife to Bear Back Poma. Ski past the bottom of the Poma on the ski trail to Low Dog Road. From here ski the road back to the house. We recommend beginners ski to the Summit Hotel and walk out the front of the hotel and ski the road the whole way back down to Low Dog Road. Silverknife may be too steep for beginners. Note: During periods of melting the road could be exposed and cause the property to lose ski access since the road is necessary for parts of the process. The Home is only ski accessible when the road is snow-covered.
Winter Big Sky Resort is the biggest skiing in America, and it earns that title every single year. With 5,800 skiable acres, 4,350 feet of vertical drop, and an average of 400+ inches of snowfall annually, it delivers for every level of skier and rider. When you are ready to step off the slopes, the historic Lone Mountain Ranch has 85+ kilometers of groomed Nordic trails through the wilderness, voted the #1 cross-country ski resort in North America. Beyond that, Yellowstone National Park, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing, and world-class spa experiences are all within easy reach.
Summer The mountains do not slow down when the snow melts. Within minutes you have world-class fly fishing, river rafting, golf, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and zip-lining at your doorstep. Follow the scenic Gallatin River along historic Highway 191 and you are at the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park in just 45 minutes. Stay long enough and you will find free concerts, farmers markets, and weekly events scattered throughout the season.

Nice place with a great location to the lifts. The place is dated and could use some updates but has all the amenities needed.Pros:Location, sauna, hot tub, deck.Cons:Needs a few updates, and maybe a better cleaning.
The cabin is wonderful and fully equipped. The hot tub and sauna after a long day of snowboarding really hit the spot. The property is ski in and ski out if you are atleast an intermediate rider. The management went above and beyond to communicate and help us with a leak issue in the unit and did an amazing job to fix majority of the issues before we arrived. For the remaining repairs they even gave us a discount to compensate for any repair equipment left behind. Highly recommended company and cabin!
Good location. Interior really needs a refresh. Dishwasher door is wonky, some windows won’t close after being opened, kitchen floor was sticky, not enough toilet paper, kitchen towels are gross even when clean. We enjoyed our stay but really expected more for the price.
Great property. Just as advertised with amenities and being ski in / ski out (it was a mild winter when we visited and still able to ski in / ski out). The hosts were responsive to the questions that we had prior to and during the trip.
Great communication regarding arrival/ departure. Proximity to slope was great too.

Fantastic ski in/out snow globe!!
We had a fantastic stay in this house! It’s truly a ski in/out property and the living room is perfect for hanging out after skiing too! 6 people was the right number for the house and plenty of parking too!
Very homey lived-in place, in a good way. Everything you'd need in the kitchen, lots of places to sleep, there are games, movies, etc. interesting/authentic/local decor. Top-notch access to the mountain and village. Nice owners. Hot tub in wonderful shape. Our 2 families of 5 had a great stay!
We really appreciated the fact that everything from the oven, sauna, to the hot tub worked (well). The lan phone had messages on it, and the alert beep on it was annoying. But everything else was good. We loved the fully stocked kitchen. And loved the fact that the hot tub got hot.

Spacious, Bright, Great Location.
We couldn't ski in or out for the first few days, but the location is so convenient it didn't matter. The house is bright and comfortable. It is on four levels, so you get your exercise even when you're off the slopes. Highly recommended. Bill

Wonderful Home!
We recently rented this property (beginning of March 2018) in Big Sky. There was plenty of room for the 8 adults that stayed here not only to sleep but to eat together and just basically hang out. This home made you feel like you were truly staying in someone's home. The owner supplies you with everything you need to feel at home. It is beautifully decorated and has an endless supply of kitchen materials. The owners were awesome about answering all of our questions and never failed to reply in an extremely timely manner. The ski in/out access was good most days, but even when you had to walk it was easy to do. The private hot tub is an added bonus at the end of a long day of skiing. We will most certainly stay here again.
This home is ideally located for ski (easy in and out) and was prefect for morning skiing, home for lunch and back out. The home is 4 levels and so it’s helpful to all go to bed at the same time because foot noise was a small issue. The kitchen is well stocked with supplies for cooking and the bbq was really nice. The house also has lots of board games to play. Construction on the addition was happening during our stay but primarily while we were gone. We did have some issues with the contractors parking in our driveway instead of the designated one but we worked thru those with them. We had a surprise visitor (Fox) a few nights that was exciting.

Outstanding!
We spent 8 nights here end of March 2019. What a beautiful, architecturally interesting house! Very well equipped kitchen. Everything you could want is here. Hot tub and sauna too. Really liked how the bedrooms are spread out on 3 different floors...gave us some privacy. Nice for the couple of nights when we were 10 people in the house. The little deck and chairs at the entrance were perfect for taking off ski boots at the end of the day - and also the shed where we kept our skis. A few of us skied all the way home at day's end. We had to take off the skis to cross 1 driveway. We were in full spring skiing mode with warm temperatures and melting snow. We would rent this house again in a heartbeat!

As Advertised, but...
We enjoyed our stay and found the house well-stocked with all the comforts expected. One quibble, but perhaps an important one depending on the party renting. The house lists as having 6 beds. In fact, it has 5 beds and one pull-out sofa. This was a minor issue for us because we were six guys on a ski trip who were splitting the cost of the stay. Based on the listing, I assured the other that each would have a bed. Sleeping on a pull-out sofa is different than sleeping on a bed. Fortunately, this didn't cause any ripples and every one was happy, but I felt the listing could have been clearer on this point. Otherwise, the house was as advertised and we enjoyed it.

Not AS Advertised
Place was NOT "premier" as the decore, furnishings, and appliances appeared original (1990) and poorly maintained. Place was NOT ski in/out as stated. The unit was cluttered with strange furnishings crowding stairs,kitchen, and dining spaces. Grill unusable. Back door unlockable and warped. Half used paint cans in closet next to hot water heater, Expired fire extinguishers, No hood over stove. Driveway unplowed. (we had to park at base of driveway as our Expedition couldnt make it up drive way. Wood shed unaccassible.. Deck/path to front door and Hot tub unshoveled, with snow path. We left space w/in 90 min of entering. Did not stay as it was a fire hazard. Complained vehemently to management company. Lost the $10,000 we spent. Spent another $6,000 just to not have to stay here.
Overall met expectations for ski in and ski out, the ski out there was some sidestepping to get to the lift and ski in you had to be intermediate skier to use the closest run; otherwise with snow on ground our “green” skiers could get to the property from the Main base Summit. House was well equipped with amenities like hot tub, sauna, and a huge tub for soaking if not hitting the hot tub. The kitchen had plenty of cookware and dinnerware. Big Sky is one of the best that I have skied (NV, CA, CO and the Northeast) and recommend for intermediates and experts!
Very clean, very easy, pictures make it seam ALot bigger than it actually is. But it worked great . It’s 4 stories so not recommended for people with infants or grand parents. Ski in/ski out is a little far fetched. Ski in was no issue. You do have to hike to ski out though.
From the rental process to check out, everything was easy. The owner called us a month or so early when they learned of limited ski lift tickets. It was a nice touch to make sure we would be able to ski and enjoy. We had one small issue with the hot tub, which wasn’t an emergency, so an email was sent. Within 30 minutes someone showed up and had it running.
Overall a great place. Very convenient. As listed it is mainly ski in/out. The ski out reality is that with decent snow it is a slightly declined relatively short, skiable path along the side of the dead end road to where it leads into a slope. Pretty convenient. But ski in is really only for intermediate skiers. There is an intermediate slope that leads to the top portion of that same path along Lone Dog road to get you back. Otherwise, you got to the main base, and have to walk a bit to get to that path. Still pretty convenient, but just be informed. I would stay there again for sure. Also had some great views of Lone Peak from the living area.
