Curley Bear — Your Private Big Sky Ski Home

Make Curley Bear your home base for an unforgettable Montana ski vacation. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath private home sleeps up to 10 guests and gives families and groups the space and privacy of a full home—not a condo.

Big Sky Resort is approximately 15 minutes away, while cross-country skiing is even closer: in winter, the golf course directly behind Curley Bear becomes a groomed Nordic trail system. Step out the back door and head out for a morning or afternoon of cross-country skiing without getting in the car.

After a day on the mountain, come home, kick off your ski boots and relax in the private 6-person hot tub while taking in the Montana winter setting.

A Home Made for Families & Groups

With 4 bedrooms, 6 beds and room for up to 10 guests, Curley Bear gives everyone space to spread out while still enjoying time together.

The open living and dining areas make it easy to gather after a day outside, whether you're cooking dinner, relaxing by the fire, watching a movie or planning tomorrow's adventure. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts before first chair to family dinners at home.

And because Curley Bear is a private home rather than a condo, your group can enjoy the space and privacy that make a longer Big Sky stay much more comfortable.

Ski Big Sky — Or Ski Right Out the Back Door

For downhill skiing and snowboarding, Big Sky Resort is about a 15-minute drive from the house.

For Nordic skiing, you don't even need the car. The golf course behind Curley Bear transforms into cross-country ski trails during the winter, giving you convenient trail access right outside the back door.

Whether your group consists of serious downhill skiers, Nordic skiers, or a combination of both, Curley Bear makes a great winter base camp.

Private Hot Tub & Montana Views

Few things are better after a full ski day than getting into a hot tub surrounded by a Montana winter landscape.

Curley Bear's private 6-person hot tub sits just outside the house, making it easy to unwind after skiing, snowshoeing or exploring Big Sky.

Keep an eye outside, too. Elk and other wildlife are frequent visitors to the area, and on especially memorable nights you may even get lucky enough to experience the Northern Lights—we've photographed them directly over Curley Bear.

Close to Big Sky Town Center

You're also conveniently located near Big Sky Town Center, giving you easy access to restaurants, après-ski, groceries, shopping and entertainment without giving up the space and privacy of your own home.

That combination is one of our favorite things about Curley Bear: you're close to everything you came to Big Sky to enjoy, but at the end of the day you return to your own private Montana home.

Add Yellowstone to Your Winter Adventure

For guests looking to experience even more of Montana, Yellowstone National Park can also be part of a winter trip. Winter offers an entirely different Yellowstone experience, with seasonal snowcoach and snowmobile excursions available into portions of the park.

It's a memorable addition to a longer Big Sky vacation and another reason to make Curley Bear your base for more than just a weekend.

Big Sky Ski Vacation

The home was as advertised. The location was ideal being only a few minutes from the restaurants and 10-15 minutes to the main ski area. The one issue we had was a missing garage door opener which Morgan remedied quickly. I'd stay there again.

Gregg, sorry you didn’t think all the photos and the 3D drawing included in the listing didn’t provide adequate detail. I’m not sure what else we could provide to show the size of the house other than all the dimensions of each room.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay at Curley Bear Den! Morgan was an unbelievable host, so amazingly helpful, in constant communication about the house, the area, and everything in between. The house was perfect, incredibly well equipped, tons of linens and towels, great equipment in the kitchen. Great gathering spaces both inside and out. Unbelievable location right on the golf course which you can walk across and be right in town. Close to the ski resort, close to hiking, close to pickle ball, close to mountain biking. We absolutely loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. There were 9 adults and everyone was totally comfortable and had a fabulous time. Huge thanks for the opportunity to stay at Curley Bear Den, can't wait to come back!

Getaway with friends

First time in Big Sky and we had the best time at the property! Close to little town shops and also to ski resort. Host was super responsive with any and all questions. Cross country skiing was literally outside back door - and we saw a moose right off the trail 15 feet from us. Amazing trip!

Perfect Property for our Stay!

The Curley Bear Den was a perfect property and location for we four senior golfers! Loved being on the golf course! The house has two bedrooms downstairs with private bathrooms which worked well for we older folks. We did not use the upstairs, but it is very nicely done to accommodate even more guests. The owners were fantastic! Thanks for allowing us this special time at this perfect property! Bobby and Kendra

Big Sky Vacation in August

My husband and I loved this property and would definitely stay there again. The location was perfect. The house was beautiful and very clean. The manager was very easy to work with. We enjoyed sitting out on the back deck watching the golfers and the sunsets. Can't wait to go back in the winter.

Perfect mountain getaway!

We had the BEST time staying at this wonderful property in Big Sky. We are a family of five (kids 9, 7, 3) and there was more than enough room to accommodate us. Kids loved being right on the golf course and spending the evenings in the hot tub. Within walking distance to everything that you could want, truly the perfect location. The owners were very communicative and responsive to our every need...even though we didn't need much because the house was overstocked with sheets, pillows, cooking supplies, fans, etc...I used to live in Big Sky and knew that I wanted to stay in the meadow and was so happy to discover this gem, I hope to stay here again next summer!
