Ski in/out home w/fireplace, hot tub, sauna & gorgeous views - Retro Mountain Retreat

This Retro Mountain Retreat is a spacious, ultra-contemporary, ski-in/ski-out, 3-story with loft, with 4 bedrooms that sits on a hillside above a creek with stunning views down the valley. It features an indoor hot tub room, located at the large front window of the house so you can relax in comfort and still take in the mountain views or relax in the indoor sauna located on the lower level. This fun and funky home has lots of unique features like the round picture window in the kitchen, a loft with cathedral ceilings, a blue fireplace and tons of retro touches. You'll love exploring every inch of this awesome home.

This home is fantastic for summer vacations where you can enjoy the day on Lake Levinsky on pedal boats, canoes, paddleboards or take a trip on the Big Sky Resort Ziplines, located .01 miles from this property. A creek is located just below this property where you take in the true serenity Montana has to offer!

This ski-in/ski-out home is absolutely perfect for those who want to make first tracks while the rest of the group is still sipping coffee by the fireplace. Walk down the driveway, strap on your skis and make your way alongside the road to the Thunder Wolf Ski lift, as long as snow conditions permit! If the road is not snow-packed, you will just walk up the road a short distance to the Puma lift.

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.

In the winter, Big Sky Resort offers “The Biggest Skiing in America” for experts, kids, and everyone in between with 5,800 skiable acres, 4,350 feet vertical drop, and average annual snowfall of 400+ inches. It's not just downhill that is superb, cross-country skiers are invited to the historic Lone Mountain Ranch, voted #1 Nordic Ski Resort in North America with over 85 kilometers of groomed trails through the wilderness. There are endless other winter activities including Yellowstone National Park, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing or a relaxing day at the spa.

AWD high clearance vehicles with snow tires required in winter.

In the summer, you are just minutes from exceptional fly fishing, river rafting, golfing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, ziplining and more. Plus, the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park is only about 45 minutes away while following the historic HWY 191 along the scenic Gallatin River. Don't miss the free concerts, farmer's markets, and weekly special events throughout the summer!

Comfy Retro House!
We had a great time, and the property staff was wonderful! Don’t expect an updated property, but it was comfortable and very clean! It had everything you need and more. The kids were not able to ski in/out but the drive to the village took 3 minutes and it wasn’t a big deal. Thank you for a great week!

Family Fun Vacation
Our rental was great. Different floor levels accommodated our families perfectly. Supplies were abundant, management was easy to deal with, great location to view nature and wildlife. Nearby lake to enjoy paddle boards and swimming. Hiking trails are close by. Local restaurants (Alberto's and brewery) were very good; awesome staff! Rented a pontoon boat on Hebgen Lake - awesome! This is a great location for skiers too! If opportunities arises, we will definitely come back.

Foxy and fun!
We had the BEST time in this incredible home! The house was so unique. Clean. Very European feel. The sauna and hot tub were so great after full days of skiing. The furniture and beds were comfortable and cozy. Such a hygge house!! We also had the treat of a fox walking on the porch. That round window made the entire experience feel most magical, like we were living in the trees. Loved it!!

Place could use updating but did serve our purpose
Large rooms with plenty of space. We enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked and everything work well and the furnishings were functional but could use updating. It' not exactly ski in ski out. You have to ski or walk on the road to access the mountain. The 2 lowest level bedrooms (each have 2 single beds) share one bath and the 2 lower level bedroom have their own bath.

Great house!
Fun unique ski house! Our family of 4 had more than enough room to relax after skiing. Could easily accommodate another family. We liked the multilevel design. Really liked having crisp white linens! So many rentals have the owner’s 1980’s cast-offs. This was a nice touch! Why not 5 stars? Because this is NOT “ski in ski out” in the way a visitor would define that. This is not a convenient place to pop in for lunch. “Ski in ski out” should not be in the advertisement as it is misleading.

The Annual Guys Ski Trip
Spacious and hip location for 6 guys that've been skiing together for over a decade. Be sure to read the SKI ON / OFF details as without a snow covered road this is a challenge but doable for the advanced; from our perspective this is reflected in the price to comparable properties near this location. Cool artwork throughout. The clean, well equipped kitchen and first floor level offered plenty of room to chill and catch-up after days on the mountain. There are numerous little dens and areas where one can sneak away to check back at home or office. Bedroom rooms were ample, furniture is showing wear. Communication with the host was excellent and they were able to address a few maintanence items. Hot tub size is really for 1-3 grown men (max). Be sure to bring your own bluetooth speaker. The grill on the deck was functional, could use a refresh. Overall a perfect location for a group of guys to hang out and have a great time.

Great time at Big Sky!
The good: - Ski in / Ski out is great. Getting to the lift may be a little challenging for beginners, there's a pretty steep slope on the way. Getting back is a little tricky, take Silver Knife and stay right! - Fireplace, hottub and sauna make for a warm welcome after a day on the slopes - Great room and dining table had plenty of room for 6 adults - Bedrooms on multiple levels made it feel more spread out. The not great, but not that bad: - The master bathroom really needs updates. Showerhead was busted and it had a useless bathtub that you could park a VW in. - The driveway is pretty steep and the house is on a hill which makes getting in and out a bit of a challenge if there's snow on the ground. BRING A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE!

Great property in a great location
We loved this location! We had a group of 7 friends and it fit everyone and then some. Having a hot tub, sauna, and large kitchen/living area in the home was definitely a luxury. Views from the balcony were fantastic! Ski in/out was as advertised. Getting to the Thunder Wolf lift was an easy ski down the road. Coming home at the end of the day could be done off Ramcharger/Silver Knife run, and then a short ski along the road. A 2 minute drive or longer walk (maybe 1/2 a mile?) to the main mountain village where there's dinner, rentals, etc. If you're driving in the winter, you'll definitely want AWD/4X4. Our front wheel drive minivan with poor rental car tires had some trouble with the snowy hill the house is on, and needed a push from the group. AWD rental had zero problems. The management company was great to deal with. They went above and beyond to answer some questions we had and were very easy to reach. We won't hesitate to book again!

Comfortable and great location, with caveats
The condo is spacious and convenient for skiing provided you have snow and don't mind climbing stairs. We cooked our breakfasts and dinners and the kitchen and outdoor grill served us well. We had a great time because it snowed twice, putting snow on the road so that we could ski down to the Thunder Wolf lift in the morning and home from the Bear Back Poma at day's end. If the road is not snow-covered, the walk to either lift is pretty long, mostly uphill to the Poma. Because it is built on a steep hill, the condo is 3 stories plus a loft. Living room, kitchen and dining are half a flight up from the entrance. The primary suite, queen bedroom, and bathroom are half a flight down from the entry way, and it's another flight down to the two twin bedrooms (small) that share a Jack-and Jill bathroom, the sauna, and washer-dryer. Not horrible, but we are all 70+ years old. The hot tub (indoor) was good; the washer-dryer worked fine; we never used the sauna. All in all, we were quite happy but want to give a full picture of the place.

A great experience, with easy room for improvement
I would like to give this 4.5 stars. My friends and I had an amazing trip to Big Sky. Skiing out to the Lone Wolf lift, and in using Silver Knife worked like a dream. Hot Tub took a messing around, but once it was running it was perfect. Plenty of space for our group of 8, and everyone slept well and had room to relax after the slopes. The only reason I can’t give the full 5 star rating is because of a couple small things which could easily be corrected. First, instructions on how to get the hot tub turned on would be a sinch. Providing a better means to clear snow too would go a long way. When we arrived , a car was blocking the entire driveway, who had apparently been told by Stay Montana that he could park there. When he did leave, we found that the shovel provided was broken, and that the other we were able to find was too flimsy to be of much use. Lastly, some basic amenities go a long way in stays like this, where people can potentially be snowed in and not be able to drive. Things like: extra trash bags, sponges, dish soap, or even a swiffer so that we could help keep this place tidier. We were thankfully able to get these on our own, but it meant carrying them on the ski lift and skiing down with them in hand. Other than that, this really was a phenomenal experience, and I would gladly come back to Big Sky and this same place again.

There were 6 guys staying for my 60th birthday and the house was perfect for us. The layout was easy, the beds and couches were comfortable and the hot tub was right next to the livingroom. The ski-on, ski-off worked well too.
