Special K Big Sky Montana
Property is stunning inside. Views are spectacular. Beds and furnishings are comfortable and well done. Management of the property is a nightmare. Plumbing issues before our family were expected was brought to managements attention on day 1 of our vacation. And every day after. Sent three different maintenance personnel to rectify the problem with a plunger, though it needed a plumber based on all three individuals who came. We called 2 plumbers who were available to come. However it needs to go through three levels of permission before any work can be approved and they indicated they could not get a plumber. Felt deceived and frustrated. We were given monetary compensation. This is our 12th VRBO rental. Never faced this type of unsatisfactory service.

Wonderful experience would have stayed longer if time had permitted. The only complaint: the mattresses were not very comfortable. Kids enjoyed the gameroom and hot tub.

Winter trip
This property is amazing, very comfortable and well stocked. Everyone was very comfortable. However, we had a couple of leaks going on from the ceiling, no towels set up in the bathrooms for our arrival, food leftover from a previous renter and no available music system. It would also be helpful for a recommendation to make sure you have an AWD vehicle as there was a great deal of snow and this house is out in mountains. It is a stunning property and the views are amazing.
