Lone Mountain Reverie

Step outside into the private hot tub and Lone Mountain fills the horizon – it's the kind of view that makes you want to stay right here for the day. This forest retreat in Big Sky's Mountain Village is built for groups who want the full mountain experience, with soaring windows framing snow-capped peaks from the dining area, a lower-level games room with a wood-burning stove for evenings in, and a fireplace upstairs for cosy moments. Big Sky Resort's lifts are a three-minute drive away, with shops and restaurants just two minutes further.

Home truths:
* You'll need a car to get around – the resort lifts are a three-minute drive and Mountain Village's shops and restaurants are a five-minute drive away. There's parking for two vehicles in the driveway and one more in the detached lower garage.
* The home is spread across three levels, so you'll be moving between floors regularly – whether heading to the games room on the lower level or gathering in the main living area. It's worth factoring in if anyone in your group has mobility considerations.
* A starter supply of essentials – soap, paper products, dish and laundry detergent, and towels – is included on arrival. Once those run out, restocking is down to you, so it's worth picking up extras on your way in if you're staying for more than a few days.
