Open space (and lots of it), inside as well as out, make Big Horn a perennial choice for family gatherings all seasons of the year. 320 sq. ft. of deck space includes a gas grill, two 7 ft. tables, and there is plenty of seating inside in the great room, dining room, or poker room. A wall of windows allows natural light to flow in. Beds with log frames add to the mountain cabin feel. Shoot a game of pool, stay toasty in front of one of the fireplaces, or relax in the cozy hot tub in any weather. Wood floors and a beamed ceiling add to this home's charm. Close to Lake Harmony and all it has to offer. Kids love the loft area, too! PLEASE NOTE: NO PROM or GRAD Groups, even with adult signature or chaperones.

Had an amazing stay with my extended family. The place was beautiful and plenty of space for the kids to play.The kitchen was very clean and fully stocked. It was really cold on the weekend when we stayed, and there was know way to get in without stepping on piles of ice, and someone fell trying to bring there luggage in. Just wish there was a clear walk way. Other than that everything was fun and beautiful. I really would like to stay here again when it gets warm. The patio and the hot tub was the highlight! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your place.
I had very high hopes for this stay. I selected the house based on the amount of rooms, beds, layout and location. Upon arrival the house was tidy but I immediately noticed how dirty the main level floors were. They were extremely sticky and dirty. It was difficult to even pull a chair out from the tables and everyone’s socks turned brown within minutes of walking on it. This was frustrating especially since we had babies with us who played on the floors.
Even worse than the floors were the beds. They were HORRIBLE. All the beds were extremely loud, uncomfortable and had huge dips in the middle. My husband and I were staying in one of the basement rooms and we wound up having to sleep on the couches because the bed was so uncomfortable and loud. It was so loud I could not get my baby to sleep and she would wake up each time one of us moved even a little bit.
I am very frustrated about the bed situation, I payed way too much money to wind up sleeping on the couch and not being able to use the bedroom.
Stayed w four families- kids range 2-11. Perfect amount of space. Clean and appointed w the basics. Very easy to work with, we even made a change to reservation early on and they were super responsive. Great location between two ski mountains. Would stay again!
We had such a wonderful time! Everything is well appointed, the house is perfectly laid out for a group. We had 5 families, all with kiddos 5 and under. The kids had so much fun playing in the basement, feeling like it was their own little spot. And it gave the adults space upstairs to cook, hang out, and play games.
We had a great time at Big Horn. We had three large families who all fit comfortably in the house. Everything was easy to find and just as described online. We had a great time!
This house was perfect for a getaway weekend to Jack Frost. We had three families with six adults and nine kids and the house for us perfectly. The house was clean and spacious and very nice. Our only suggestion is to have a few more staples in the kitchen like salt and pepper, PAM, a spice rack, aluminum foil and Tupperware. The property management company was very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely rent this house again!
This is the second year in a row we have stayed at this property. The house is very clean, spacious and in a great location. Everyone had a great time!
Buyer Beware - If you have an issue, the rental company WILL NOT help you. We stayed on property for 1 week with grandparents and small children. The rental company is terrible.
The property was NOT pet free. My daughter is allergic to pets and had severe itchy rashes all throughout her body throughout our whole trip. When I called them immediately, the company apologized and bought us 2 air purifiers. They also promised to give my daughter a freshly laundered quilt and vacuum with a stronger filter. None of the these things occurred. The next day we tried to wash the towels and my daughters sheets/quilts (they provide 1 very tiny towel per guest) and the washer wasn't working. It had been unplugged and it's difficult for me to believe they weren't already aware since the dryer was working and plugged in. I called and spoke to the co-owner of the rental company, Greg. I sent Greg pictures and he said he would look into it and get back to me. 3 days later, Greg had still not contacted me despite me calling twice a day. I finally wrote a threatening text and another employee from the company called immediately. I asked for an update and at a minimum to provide daily towels and a new quilt for my daughter. This employee was fantastic and was able to provide towels for that day but she didn't work the weekend so she said she would pass our case to the other co-owner. Of course, we were never contacted again by either owner or provided any additional towels. The washing machine remained broken. They never delivered on their promises or had any concerns that their guest was having medical issues due to their inability to provide what was agreed upon in the contract. I have documented my daughters rashes made even worse by not being to wash her clothing/sheets.
Additionally, the beds were very old, creaky and you sink into the middle. They do not provide a fitted sheet, only 2 top sheets. The towels are so little they do not cover your body. The bathrooms upstairs have an odor of mold. The only pluses are that the home is pretty, large and the kitchen is well equipped.
***********Buyer Beware*******
The home is just as described. Unfortunately, the backup battery in the smoke alarm on main floor died and began beeping non-stop at 6 am on our first morning there. We called the management company three times before they responded, 8 hours later. Almost our entire day was spent listening to the high pitched beeping due lack of response. At the very least, they could have left extra batteries in home for issues like this. The hot tub was slimy.
My family and I had a great time at this home, there was plenty of space for all 15 of us and it was very clean. The hot tub was also a great addition!
The pictures make this home look much better than it is. The beds were noisy, uncomfortable, air conditioning was weak and the dishwasher was very loud. Water pressure was weak. Don’t plan on two people getting a shower at the same time. Seating on deck was uncomfortable and not good for socializing. Hot tub was excellent. Overall not worth what we spent!
The house was beautiful. Looked exactly like the pictures but better. It’s a beautiful home to just get away, the area is quit but really nice. I went with friends and family and we had such a good time, we all did not want to leave.
We were frustrated by the issues we had throughout our stay with the breakdown of critical appliances that really detracted from our stay at the house. The fridge leaked for the entirety of our visit, compromising the state of the food we had purchased and the dishwasher was never able to run a cycle, meaning all the dishes used in the process of cooking for 16 people had to be hand washed, taking away time we should have been able to spend together as a group. Furthermore, the water pressure in the house was minimal, making showers a complete headache, which was the last thing we wanted when we had come back from a day of hiking and white water rafting. We were also disappointed that there was no green space outside. The entire outside area was some version of concrete or heavily wooded, which made it difficult to spend time outside playing games or even lounging around. We will not be staying at this property in the future.
