Just like home
The property is perfectly comfortable with everything you need to feel right at home. The owners have thought of everything. We have never had such an easy stay at a VRBO. Everything worked as it should, kids loved the bunk room and we loved the hot tub after long days of skiing. We typically stay only at ski in/out houses but this was an easy 10 minute drive to the mountain, free parking and shuttles, and only 10-15 minutes the other direction to town. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

Wonderful!
Our first Christmas away from home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Cabin was the perfect location, close to town and skiing but secluded enough for the 7 kids in our party to explore and play! Owners were great and responded quickly to my message. We had a party of 13, 3 families with 7 kids total and the house was spacious enough for everyone! Loved Big Sky and can’t wait to visit again! Beautiful place!!

Awesome Birthday/Christmas!
My family flew into town and we decided to stay here instead of my little house in Belgrade to celebrate my birthday and to do an early family Christmas. It was incredible. The house is super clean and inviting. Location can't be beat! The view of Lone Peak was awesome. We walked the neighborhood everyday and it was so quiet and relaxing. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen for a rental. Pete was super helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Jeannine & Pete Fesler

Host profile image
We are a recently retired Air Force family of five that started our Big Sky life in 1997. Graduates of the University of Utah, we are Westerners. We have lived in and traveled through most of the West from New Mexico to Alaska, but once we found Big Sky we were hooked. Pete's job keeps us away from Montana too much, but this is where we will be when our Air Force adventure ends. We are counting the days.

Why they chose this property

We've lived all over the country and traveled all over the world, thanks to the Air Force. Big Sky remains at the top of our list. There are amazing things to do in Big Sky twelve months out of the year. Our house lets us access all of them in minutes. And, when we are feeling lazy, we can just sit in the living room or the hot tub and watch the snow fall. Nothing beats staying in a log home on 20 acres, surrounded by mountains and wildlife, with only the sound of wind through the pines and the occasional bugling elk to break the silence. As far as we're concerned, it’s heaven.

What makes this property unique

There are quite a few condo and townhome options in Big Sky. Many are very nice, but we don't think there are any that can top our house. It offers all of the comforts of home in a one of a kind setting. Tucked into the pines on 20 acres, just 10 minutes away from Big Sky Town Center, we have the best of both worlds. We can join the party in town and on the slopes, or we can sit on our patio and not hear a sound other than the wind though the pines. From virtually every window of the house, you have unobstructed views of Lone Mountain, the pine forest, and the local wildlife.
