About this property

Luxurious Home & Party Barn, Campfire area, Exclusive 20 acres

Happy Trails has been transformed from a horse property in the Montana mountains into a luxurious western vacation home. Located in Big Sky, Montana. This once exclusive vacation home is the perfect getaway for your family reunion or large group vacation. It's like having your own private ranch! Happy Trails boast 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. This compound features a large main house, a new guest house, and a huge party barn. Mountain views span 360 degrees around the 22 acre property.

So close to everything in Big Sky, a perfect location, situated a couple of minutes from town and a few miles to Big Sky Resort, so you get the best of both worlds. The famous North Fork Trail head is just steps out our back door for winter XC Nordic skiing. Marked snowshoe trails meander adjacent to the property, just strap on your shoes and go. We also have prestigious neighbors like Lone Mountain Ranch who borders our property and Yellowstone NP is just an hour away!

As you enter the main house, a huge 20ft fireplace welcomes you and wall to wall windows in the main living area streams sunlight making it happy and open. Three bedrooms all have their own spacious seating areas and private fireplaces. Great for curling up for reading or relaxing after a day of activities. The bunkroom even has its own big private bathroom, so send the kids and teens down to hangout for games and xbox and they will be all set! The guest house is a home in itself. Located across the gravel driveway from the main house. It has a living room, full kitchen, dining room AND 3 bedrooms! All outfitted in chic mountain cabin décor.

OK! Now the party barn...A 3000sqft heated state of the art barn turned into the ultimate gathering space. Pool table, ping pong table, dart board, and lounge/TV area will keep you entertained for hours. Imagine pouring drinks behind the 18 foot saloon bar with Kegerator, singing karaoke with your group on the 24 foot stage area, and enjoying beautiful artwork decorating the walls. The 7th bedroom is also attached here. It has its own guest half bath. Outside, the campfire sanctuary has lots of lounge seating for roasting those perfect s'mores and telling stories.

Some attractions of house: LOCATION, screened in summer porch, covered deck and porch spaces. Real wood burning fireplace gives you that true crackling Montana feel. Deluxe Jacuzzi to enjoy après ski or after a long summer hike. Huge back yard, plus 20 acres to play and explore. This is truly a vacation compound, you have the luxury of enjoying your own land without neighbors' windows peering at you, yet being so close to all the Big Sky activities. Escaping to the mountains is about having space. The enjoyment is to spread out, take nature walks, pick wildflowers, spot abundant wildlife, follow trails from the back door, all on this special property. Happy Trails feels like you are on your own private ranch.

President's Day Weekend
9 of us stayed at this beautiful house over President's Weekend. We had 4 adults, 2 kids age 14, 2 kids age 12, and 1 kid age 7. The kids loved having the party barn to retreat to and feel independent. It was fully stocked and perfect for them. The adults enjoyed the main house. The heated floors were a treat, and the fireplace was a dream. Our host was so kind and helpful with recommendations. We loved the location so close to town and the Lone Mountain Ranch Sleigh Ride. The snow came in fast and furious, and we thought we were going to have to stay a couple of extra days. Kimbie was responsive and sweet about accommodating us. There was a snow plow out every day to keep us safe and to keep us from getting snowed in. We had such a wonderful weekend making the best memories. Thank you for a great house and time.

Happy Trails / Big Sky Family 2024
Happy Trails was the perfect property for our multi generational family of 14!!with 2 Master suites and a bunk room in the main house and 2 master suites in the party barn plus 2 other bedrooms for kids , it fit us perfectly. The big living spaces in both houses were large and beautiful. The kitchens had everything we needed to prepare some delicious meals . The surrounding grounds were very neat and well done and the views off the decks was magical whether it was watching deer or hot air balloons- we will go back!!!

Spectaular place to gather and enjoy the beauty of Big Sky
We had a great visit to Happy Trails. The two houses and common spaces were as good as we've ever rented. Our group of 13 were very comfortable, and the house set-up functioned exceptionally well. Perhaps most important, the host/owner (Kevin) was terrific. Very communicative and he made our stay remarkable.

Wonderful stay in Big Sky
Our large group, including adults and teenage/young adults, all loved our stay. Plenty of room to spread out and come together around the fireplace and in the expansive party barn. We really liked the location between the mountain and town. Great access but lots of privacy. Thank you for a great stay!

No ovens in main house!
This was our second year renting this home and while the amenities are nice and the rooms comfortable it's VERY difficult to enjoy if you like to cook. What's more concerning is that last year one of the ovens didn't work either. Our large group enjoys cooking together and we had to use the grill to cook pizza and run back and forth to the guest house to cook for our large group. In addition, the communication was horrible. We reported the issue and were left in the dark for 3 days. Finally, we were told the part would come in the day we departed. I have requested a partial refund and have not heard a peep from property manager or owner. We will NOT be renting from them again.

Love that barn!!!
Our annual ski group has rented a number of great ski houses over the years. We were thankful to come back to this property as we loved it even before the upgrades. Now the space is just off the charts! Beautifully done and such a great spot for our whole group to be able to game, hang, and chill! Looking forward to coming back!! Thank you!!

We loved the property, however I had to cook my $150 prime rib in the guest qts.oven. It all worked out but owners know about the problem about the main house. It was a great house for our group of 10. I would like to think we left it more organized and in better shape than when we go it. Kent is amazing!!!!!

Amazing Stay at Hapy Trails
We had an amazing stay at happy trails which proved to be the perfect location for our family reunion. The house is conveniently located to the town of Big Sky, the mountain resort, hiking trails, swimming holes and more; and the party barn proved to be the perfect meeting spot for our family after active days of adventure. The listing pictures show an amazing house and property and I can truly say that Happy Trails is even more impressive in person. I highly recommend.

Perfect for Our Family
Three generation family of 14 plus one guest found the three different sleeping locations (house, upstairs barn and multipurpose room) perfect. Owner greeted us and the property management company was the best we have dealt with in our 30 plus years of family holidays. So much to do in Big Sky area we did not have as much time as we would have liked to enjoy the “Happy Trails” property.

What more could you ask for?
Truly spectacular! The home, the hot tub, trails right off the property, the space from neighbors, the bar, the stunning art in the barn; I could go on and on. Our stay was nothing short of magical. Kevin and the property manager were there to support a successful checkin and they were able to help with anything we needed while we were there, not that we did need anything since the property is fully stocked and well equipped to support large groups and intimate settings. I would highly recommend a stay here it was a once in a lifetime experience, and as I say that we are already planning a trip back!

Winter Escape
The Nobles' vacation home is unlike anything we've ever been to! We are so grateful to have stayed there while it was still snowing as the property is beautiful in the wintertime. Perfect location with quick access to Big Sky Resort and Town Center. Ample space for lots of people to enjoy spending time together and being able to rest in their own spaces. The barn was an awesome location for family and friends to get together!! We LOVED playing games and enjoying dinners in there.

Beautiful Winter Wonderland Home!
Our family could not have been happier with our stay at Happy Trails! Excellent communication with the owner and local property manager, and every amenity you could imagine including infant pack and play and booster seat for the little ones. The house actually exceeds expectations with its comfort and views, and we all had as much fun at night in the party barn as we did during the day skiing and playing in the snow! Fabulous kitchen to make big family meals and since we were there during Winter Storm Olive we truly appreciated the many fireplaces and heated floors! We plan to return to Happy Trails one year for a summer vacation!

Trip of a Lifetime
I have been organizing an annual ski trip with a group of friends for 18 years. We have traveled all over the western US and Canada and this year we finally made it to Big Sky, MT. We all wish we had made this stop earlier in our history. The property is amazing. All of the bedrooms are large, quiet, private, well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare meals for a large group or fix a snack for one. The layout of the property is awesome with the center piece being the barn party room/art gallery. In the party barn we had a movie night and a game night where we actually arranged a round-robin tournament of shuffle-puck, ping-pong and billiards. The artwork in the barn is stunning. The property itself is stunning with 22 pristine wooded acres teeming with wildlife. There is plenty of parking. Big Sky offered great skiing, but Happy Trails Lodge completed the Trip of a Lifetime by offering great accommodations amidst real Montana setting. We will return to this place with our ski group as well as my family in the near future. Tom Bolger

Beautiful Home - Exactly as the pictures
The property was excellent and beautiful. Loved the buffalo! (you'll see). The home was clean and lives up to the pics and description. Kitchen fully stocked. Tons of wood for fireplace. Everything you need. The owner is a great guy who wants you to have a great time. He met us at check in, tapped a keg and had champagne because we checked in on New Years eve. A couple of pearls - very close to ski resort 3 miles. Great location. We attempted to use Ski butler. For 5 days (no skip day) $3150 for my 4 members of my family. Crazy! We went to EAST slope outdoors in Big Sky- $750 for 4 people, premium skis/boots with a skip day. They were great -Local Mexican restaurant- Don't know the name.. Surprisingly good - Elk 30 yards down from the driveway entrance each day -don't buy condiments and spices. He leaves them in the kitchen GREAT PLACE. rent with confidence.

Happy Trails is wonderful! We had an amazing time. The space is perfect. Everyone could have privacy, but also all could dine together and party in the barn. The barn is exquisite with art by the owners. Also, it is super fun with tons of games. The owners greeted us on arrival to give a tour and are so gracious and kind. We cannot wait to go back!

About the host

Hosted by Kimbie

Host profile image
We've been coming to Big Sky for winter and summer fun for years now and can't think of a more perfect place to enjoy family and friend adventures. Here, we can clear our minds, be quiet, be adventurous, and appreciate the great outdoors. From our family to yours, we sincerely hope you enjoy your stay and make lasting memories to cherish.

Why they chose this property

Escaping to the mountains is about having space. The enjoyment is to spread out, take nature walks, pick wildflowers, spot abundant wildlife, follow trails from the back door, all on this special property. 20 acres just for you. Fire pit just for you. Fun party barn and coming soon, saloon, just for you. Happy Trails feels like you are on your own private ranch.

Of course all the conveniences and bustle are within a few stones throw. We are centered right in between town center and ski resort. Best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

Maybe it's the small town feel, maybe it's the biggest ski acreage in America, the friendly people, or that Yellowstone NP and other National forest playgrounds are all right here, that makes this spot so special.

Big Sky Ski Resort has a planned $10 million dollar revamp planned. Already the largest ski acreage in America, it now has state of the art features like: bubble encapsulated chairlift, heated chairlift, digital scan ticket entry gate, new restaurants, and much more!
