This place was family friendly and super close to lots of fun things to do. The layout of the house made it even better with two living room areas and plenty of space for kids to play.

Thanks for your stay, glad you had a great time in Big Sky! Hope you can make it back soon!
Great stay! Very convenient to walk between house and town for shopping and restaurants. The shuttle was nearby and easy to get to the mountain for skiing. Would definitely book again!
Wonderful place for groups who want to ski and come back to a relaxing place. Easy shuttle access, great walking location to restaurants. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we end up back in big sky

Excellent Big Sky Vacation Option
Our family of seven fit perfectly into this newly finished and cozy Big Sky home. We especially liked the convenient location, walking distance to town and mountain shuttle. We would definitley rent here again.

Thanks for staying with us Jim! We enjoyed having your group in Big Sky and would love to host you again in the future!
House is great for a large party - we fit 10 adults comfortably. Has all of the basic things you will need for a long week/weekend getaway. Really enjoyed the hot tub and proximity to town. Host was extremely responsive when we had a question during check in...would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay as a family. All the equipment you needed, plenty of room to have your own space and a nice place to come together.
Had a small issue on the 1st day, but the host was able to rectify it quickly.

This house was awesome! Plenty of space for our whole group and close to town.
Thank you Philip and Caitlyn for an amazing stay! We had a great time in Big Sky. The house was beautiful and very easy to get to from town. The shuttle to the mountain was free and easy to use. We are sad to leave!

Beautiful home in Big Sky
The house was very clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils and supplies, the hot tub was a great plus! Close to town and not far from the ski resort! There was 7 of us who stayed in the home and there was plenty of room. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone's stay in Big Sky!

Hey Guy, thanks for the feedback! We’d love to host you guys again in the future!
All was good. The house was as advertised. Good value and close to town.
The one hiccup at check-in was handled quickly.
I would recommend the house to others.
This home was in a phenomenal location and super convenient to everything an out-of-towner would need. The owners were lightning fast in their responses and efforts to help with any issues. Should our group ever return to Big Sky for another ski trip, we would definitely be considering this property again.

Great Location
Lovely home nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Well appointed, nicely updated and very comfortable with amazing access to cross country skiing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, sledding. Within walking distance to Town Center which has some wonderful boutique and mountain wear shopping as well as great local restaurants. Owners were very pleasant, accommodating and responsive to our questions and needs. Had such a wonderful time, we are considering returning this year!

We were a little surprised by the lack of close accessibility of one of the bedrooms to a bathroom but other than that, this property certainly met our needs.

We stayed for two weeks in the summer and had a wonderful time! The location is in “town,” not on the mountain, which was great. There is a small park 3 blocks away, easy to walk to town, access local hikes. The layout of the house is very family friendly. We have 4 young kids and the basement provided plenty of play room. The fenced in backyard provided great outdoor space too. We absolutely loved Big Sky, and this house made our stay easy, comfortable and unforgettable. We would highly recommend staying here!

Great location for a large group
This house was perfect for our Big Sky ski trip. Conveniently located within walking distance to Big Sky Town Center and the many dining and shopping options available there. If you're headed to the mountain for a day of skiing it's just a short drive up the road. Even at opening and closing times the road there was never overly busy like you see at entrances to the CO and Utah resorts. The house itself had plenty of room for our large group and the in floor heating, hot tub, and steam shower all assured that we never got chilled even as temps outside hovered around zero degrees. I would definitely recommend this house for your next Big Sky vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Caitlyn and Philip
Caitlyn, Philip fell in love with Big Sky country after visiting for many years and we know you will too! Caitlyn grew-up in the Midwest and Philip on the East coast, but they have always been drawn to the mountains. Their first date was on a ski-slope and we have been lucky to travel the world hiking and skiing in beautiful places, but none are as special as Big Sky!
Why they chose this property
Cold Smoke Mountain Lodge offers a uniquely local experience for your Montana vacation. Limber Pine Place is one of the only streets in Big Sky that's all year-round local Big Sky families, that's why we fell in love with this home. We love both winter and summer seasons in Big Sky because Montana never ceases to amaze you!
What makes this property unique
Cold Smoke Mountain Lodge is in the heart of the Meadow in Big Sky. We are a close walk to restaurants, shopping, hiking, and Big Sky Town Center. We are also a short drive to Big Sky Resort, and about an hour from Yellowstone National Park. Book our lodge and we will send you our Guest Book with our favorite things to do in Montana and who to call when you want to go fly-fishing.
