Mountain Peak Vistas

Step outside onto the wraparound deck and you'll understand why this Big Sky mountain house is built for winter – steaming hot tub, panoramic snow-covered peaks, and nothing but cold mountain air between you and the Rockies. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace anchor a living room made for gathering. A chef's kitchen handles group meals without breaking a sweat, and a pool table keeps evenings easy. Big Sky Resort is a ten-minute drive, with the Skyline Bus shuttle a short walk away.

Home truths:
* The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
* Bedroom five sleeps eight guests in two king over king bunk beds.
* A starter set of consumables – soap, paper products, dish and laundry detergent, and similar basics – is provided on arrival. Once those run out, you'll need to pick up your own supplies, so factor in a trip to the shops for longer stays.
* This is a mountain home in a ski town, so you'll want a car for grocery runs and reaching trailheads or restaurants beyond Town Center. You'll have room for up to four vehicles here – two in the attached garage and two more outside.
* If you'd rather skip the drive to the resort, the Skyline Bus stops in Town Center and connects to Mountain Village, Moonlight Basin, and Gallatin Canyon – a handy option after a long day on the slopes.
