Big Sky Vacation Rentals: CH Cabin 15 Derringer

Cabin 15 Derringer is a free-standing mountain cabin nestled beside the Powder River Run high on the Moonlight Basin side of Lone Mountain. Step out your front door and onto the slopes from this luxurious newly transformed gem of a cabin.

This recently upgraded cabin is refined and elegant throughout boasting beautiful furnishings, a stone fireplace, custom wood cabinetry, high-end appliances in the eat-in kitchen and sophisticated amenities all round. Year-round Big Sky adventures start and end here under a galaxy of stars soaking in your private hot tub with unimaginable views of the Spanish Peaks.

This 880 sq ft cozy cabin sleeps five guests comfortably in an en-suite master and queen bunk room and is an ideal base for families, couples or a group of friends to explore Big Sky.

Whether you’re chasing wild water adventures in the warm summer months or looking for a one-of-a-kind slope side experience, Moonlight Basin Cowboy Heaven Cabins promise an authentic Big Sky Montana vacation in cowboy style!

Second time staying at 15 Derringer and you can’t beat the breathtaking views and the ski-in/ski-out! The cabin is clean and cozy and the kitchen is well stocked. The hot tub is amazing and so easy to use. We love this place and hope to come back a third time soon!

Great cabin with wonderful view!
This was just perfect for our family. The location was great for hiking. It was just a short walk from our family who owns property here, as well as convenient to all our activities we had planned for the week. We have a family of 5 with 3 small kids. If the kids were bigger, this cabin may have been a little cramped.The Big Sky staff were wonderful. We really enjoyed staying here!

Great getaway
I visited this property with my husband, sister and brother in law. We had originally planned a trip to Canada but due to COVID we were unable to go. We desperately wanted to getaway so we planned a last minute substitute trip to Big Sky! We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back!

Quiet Cabin with Incredible Views
My wife and I needed a quiet week alone in nature, to recharge and rejuvenate - this cozy cabin and its surroundings DID NOT disappoint! While the cabin is surrounded by other cabins - we never felt like we had neighbors. The deck and hot-tub is where we spent hours, having coffee and the occasional adult beverage. It was perfect, for what we needed. The views of the surrounding mountains were idyllic and made us want to come back again. The cabin furnishings were upscale and appropriate, however the bedding/linens felt dated and worn in comparison. Overall - a fantastic property and we hope to be back again.

Great cabin clean and well laid out for one or two couples. We got here when there was no one else around because of the off season. Very quiet and had a secluded feeling. They forgot to give us the extra keys for the cabin but we just used the lock box each day and did fine. The ladies were wishing for some wash cloths for the bathrooms. Overall this was excellent.

Beautiful cabin with all the bells and whistles!!
The cabin was perfect for our weekend at Big Sky. Easy check in on the Ipad and don't forget to explore on the Ipad. It had wonderful suggested activities, restaurants, etc. on it. The cabin was spotless when we arrived. Thanks for that! All amenities that were listed were available & plus some (robes, plenty of towels, supplies for dishwasher/washer/dryer, seasonings, etc.). Delicious caramels were a nice treat!! Had trouble finding the dumpster to dispose of trash but just a phone call/text and they quickly responded with help. We plan to come back and would recommend it to family and friends.

Broken Dishwasher / Poor Communication
There was little to no communication about check in etc. and it was very hard to get someone on the phone to assist or to even return a call or email. Overall the area is nice, but there is an abundance of construction occurring at all times. The dishwasher was broken upon arrival and filled with stagnant, stinky water. Pictures made the place look much larger. Master bathroom was almost too small to turn around in. Very cramped floor plan.

Cozy cottage
The view was amazing! Went with another couple for a weekend of skiing and the cottage was adequate (although you could hear EVERYTHING from either bedroom) with nice ski in and ski out access. We learned we needed a vehicle because Moonlight Lodge does not offer free transportation and there isn't a mountain shuttle that is accessible. The Lodge charges $25/day to use the facilities and have access to their shuttle. Big point to know: Once you pay the $25 fee and want the shuttle service, it costs another minimum $20 to use the service plus the drivers' tip. When we ate in the Lodge, the tip AND "fee" were already included in the bill (we had a party of 4). I have never been to a resort where the fees just added up faster and faster every time I turned around! We had a good time but will not stay here again. Also, the cabin was worn. Some maintenance is necessary.

Big Sky regular
This was such a lovely cabin, and Sarah and the team at Big Sky Vacation Rental were so very helpful and responsive. It would have been a perfect score for our stay here except that the Hot Tub (one of our "must haves" for resort rentals) was not operational our 2nd night there. The repair man said they had been trying to get the owners to purchase a new one due to such frequent needs of repair. This was very disappointing that they knew there was a leak, allowed it to leak, and did not come check it every morning such that it would be set up correctly and re-heated by the time we got back from skiing each day. They did refund the $50 dollars promised in the contract, but that did not help us on the one thing we all love to do together - hot tubbing together in the lovely Big Sky night air. But again, thank you for the quick responses and the lovely, lovely stay.

Great little cabin!
Cute little cabin with great views! Would definitely stay there again! It’s roughly six miles up the mountain but the views are worth it. Property was very clean and well maintained. Also stocked with everything you need. They even have a crockpot for you to use! The stove is amazing! We cooked breakfast every morning and a few dinners while we were there. The only con would be the very small master bathroom. Other than that this cabin was amazing!

CHECK-IN
We received three different ways to check-in (two in the same communication). One spoke of a key code and in the same communication referenced a lock-box. The other communication talked of a garage code (there was no garage). There turned out to be a lock box, but the communications were confusing at best. Otherwise, clean, great views and well stocked. Enjoyed our stay.

Summer Getaway
We came up for the second half of a vacation to see some of Montana and Yellowstone National park in July 2020. We loved the property and the meticulous considerations for guests while staying at the cabin. They basket of cleaning supplies, including clothes and dishwasher detergent were definitely a big help to us. As a family of five we tend to dirty a lot of clothes and dishes (LOL)! I was also very appreciative of the complimentary robes for before and after the hot tub. These provided comfort as the temperatures at night were as low as the mid 40’s. The beds were cozy and spacious, in addition to updated appliances for cooking use in the kitchen. Two of of the three nights we were gifted with the sight of beautiful rainbows in the sky, and we fell more deeply in love with the cabin and MONTANA!
