Ski In/Ski Out Updated Big Sky Retreat

Summary:
5 Bedrooms - 4.5 Bathrooms - Sleeps 13 - Private Hot Tub - Close to Moonlight Basin

The Space:
Looking for a luxurious Big Sky mountain retreat? Just take a look at the breath-taking photos to see the incredible views of Lone Peak displayed throughout this home. With equally excellent biking and ski access, this five bedroom, four and half bathroom home has plenty of space for your whole party. From ski-in, ski-out access via the Cascade Lift to relaxing in the private hot tub, your family and friends are sure to make life-long memories during your stay at 11 Middle Rider. Upon walking through the front door, visitors are greeted by a welcoming living room with a wood burning fireplace as well as a Smart TV. Guests are encouraged to make use of the dreamy chef’s kitchen, fully stocked with everything you’ll need to cook a fabulous meal with friends or family and gather around the dinning table and bar top with seating for 10. In addition, the main living area displays an outdoor patio with deck furniture and wood burning fireplace and a propane BBQ grill, perfect for apres-ski or warm summer nights. There is also a large gear room, a half bath, and heated 2-car garage with boot dryers and ski racks ideal for a day on the slopes. When it is time to relax, choose between the main living room or the downstairs TV room with a game table. When it is time for to retire for the night, five bedrooms are perfectly designed for everyone’s needs. The main level provides a master bedroom with a king bed and full bathroom (includes a jetted tub) as well as an additional king room with en-suite bathroom. Downstairs the bunkroom includes a twin bed with a trundle option as well as a full under twin bunkbed and en-suite bathroom. The final two bedrooms share a bathroom and have a king and queen bed. On this bottom floor, there is also a laundry room with premium appliances for guests use and through the TV room, you can access a beautiful deck area with an outdoor fireplace, furniture, and hot tub.

While 11 Middle Rider may leave you wanting nothing more, the Mountain Village and Madison Base areas are each a 5-minute drive in either direction with numerous options for shopping, dining, ski rentals, lift tickets, and a small grocery store. Big Sky`s Town Center is only a short 10-minute drive away, where guests can find additional options for activities, restaurants, retail, and local escapades. Looking for other things besides skiing and snowboarding while in Big Sky? Be sure to check out dog mushing, Nordic skiing, snow shoeing, a sleigh ride dinner at a local ranch, go on a snow mobile tour, or check out Yellowstone National Park. In the summer, choose from fly fishing, horseback riding, local ATV tours, hiking trails, rock climbing, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, golfing, white water rafting, weekly farmer`s markets and free concerts. One of the best parts of this location is the proximity to Beehive Basin, truly one of the most scenic hikes in Big Sky. This home truly is the perfect retreat for all things Big Sky, Montana.

Great ski house

Great ski house to accommodate two families. Ski out to the skies was easy but ski in was a little bit more challenging because it involved uphill climbs where you had to take off your skis.

Great Family Getaway

We had a great time! The house was awesome with all the amenities! The only thing we didn't like was the ski-in/ski-out. It was more work than we anticipated, and the Cascade lift that you use to ski in closed before 3 p.m. every day, even though the resort doesn't close until 4 p.m. The drive to the resort wasn't too far away, and they had free parking with a shuttle, so we were able to ski with no issues. Overall, we had a great time!

Big Sky Ski In/Ski Out

The house was beautiful and well equipped with gorgeous views of the mountain. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the bedrooms very comfortable.My only suggestion would be a set of written instructions in the house on how to ski to the resort and how to ski back.Skiing to the base is accomplished via the residential access trails and the White Otter lift. To ski back to the house requires using the Cascade lift (which opens at 11) and a long, flat trek along Beehive Basin Road. There are maps of the access trails provided at the top of the Cascade lift, which would have been very helpful to have in the house. I hope this helps the next guests.

The view of the Mountain is spectacular

The pictures on Vrbo look amazing but it looks even more amazing when step inside the house. The house was perfect in all aspects and had everything we needed for a group of 8 of us. The ski on was awesome and just a short walk to an actual trail that will take you to the base of the mountain, was very cool to ride through the trees with houses around us. We got a lot of snow during our stay so make sure you have all wheel drive cause the driveway is uphill

Fantastic House

The house itself was amazing. We did not realize how far from the slopes the house actually is. The ski in ski out was really inconvenient. As was the driveway. Otherwise excellent.

Lovely Mountain Chalet

This mountain home was absolutely beautiful. From the amazing view to the high end finishes and appliances, this house hit the mark! I would highly recommend this chalet to families or friends looking for a beautiful and comfortable home in a great location. The check in process was easy and we even had someone shovel the walk-ways and plow the driveway multiple times during the week we stayed. We never ran out of firewood and the hot tub was great after skiing. 5 stars all the way!

Great Hiuse False Advertising

House is great and well stocked, although kitchen utensils were a bit lacking. Major issue is that house was advertised as “ski in/ski out”, which commands a premium price. It was ski out, but definitely NOT ski in, required taking skis off twice hiking up steps then long cross country trail back to house. Not practical at all with kids or those not in great shape.

Wonderful ski vacation!

The property is beautiful and in a great location for proximity to Big Sky. It feels very private and the views were stunning! Our group of 7 adults does like to cook and the kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. The beds and living room/lounge areas were very comfortable with more than enough space for all of us. The home is advertiser as ski/ski out which is why we chose it but it does have disclaimer on time of the year. The week we were in Big Sky got into the 40s for multiple days with no snow and very little on the ground (base at mountain was 25 inches) so while the ski out was possible (albeit icy), the ski in wasn’t doable because of rocks and not enough snow cover on the trails. However, we found driving to Big Sky and parking in the commuter lot (group of 3 or more), very easy - it’s a 5 min drive. Most of the locals we spoke to said these were highly unusual conditions for end of January and not something the property owners can control! One thing that would make the property even better would be some benches in the garage to put boots and gear on along with a better ski/snowboard rack. It’s a wonderful property and would come back for another Big Sky vacation!
