We loved our stay in Big Sky - plenty of room and great lounging spaces. Being close to both nordic and downhill skiing was a huge perk.

Happy Times at Happy Moose
The Happy Moose was a great location for our party of 10 adults ski vacation to Big Sky. It is spacious and clean and well-located to the ski area and other local activities, etc. We made good use of the hot tub and were visited in the front yard by a mama and baby moose! Wilson Properties was also helpful and accessible.

Big Sky is such an awesome place
We had a really nice stay. The house was very nice and very clean. The location was great for getting to and from where we wanted to go. There was lots of space! We just had our family of 4, but could have easily housed 4 more. The kids loved the hot tub. The beds were comfortable and the house has very nice natural cooling compared to others we’ve stayed in (lots of shade, good air flow). We’ve been to Big Sky 3 times in the last couple years. We rated this house a 4 star vs a 5 for some very simple reasons (some out of their control). 1. There is really bad construction on the main road through Big Sky. Traffic is backing up for miles. The street that the house is on is being used by many as a cut through to avoid that traffic. Between 7-9 am an 4-6 pm there was a constant flow of traffic by the house, even though there is a sign in the neighborhood about “no thru traffic”. Not their fault, but also not ideal in such a serene environment. 2. The only other knock was that we did not feel that the kitchen/pantry was truly fully furnished (at least not as well as others we’ve stayed at in the area). Just little things that could possibly improve future stays (pizza cutter, pans for cooking in the oven, salt, etc). Minor minor things, but comparing to others in the same price range, 4 star was accurate.

Perfect location and property!
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The kids (ages 12-9) LOVED the bunk room! The property was in a nice, quiet neighborhood and also very close to the resort. They were also very good about snow removal and responsive. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Excellent Ski House
Easily fit our group of 9, we never felt crowded. Everyone agreed, we would all come back. Specifically, the teens enjoyed the downstairs bunkroom with giant bean bags, even though there is not a door to close off the room from the rest of the house. The three other bedrooms were actually big enough we didn't have to step over suitcases to get around. The padded dining chairs were appreciated by sore skiers. The driveway easily held cars, and could have fit six, the garage is not available for parking. We chose to drive to the resort due to free parking and rides to the base. It would be possible to drive to the bus stop, but the bus runs only every 30 minutes.

Fun spring break ski trip!
Our stay at the Happy Moose made our first trip to Big Sky amazing! We had 4 adults, 3 college age and 2 high school with plenty of space. The property management was attentive and even brought us a brand new crockpot when we couldn’t find the one that was supposed to be in the house. The inside of the house is extremely clean and updated with all the comforts of home. We will definitely stay here again!

Very nice property for our group of 8. Plenty of space for 4 couples. One recommendation is to add more hooks and towel racks to bathrooms and bedrooms. Also would add some rugs and /or yoga mat so us older skiers can stretch before/after skiing. Overall very nice and woudl book again. Thank you.

Great for large groups
I was nervous bc we are a party of 9 and sometimes the pics can be deceiving in regards to space (fish lens, angles, etc) In this case the place was actually larger than expected. You get all 3 floors, sleeps 10 comfortably. Great communication and service from the management. Would def recommend and stay here again.

Good spot, loved the hot tub
This is a great place to stay. Loved the the hot tub. The management was really nice. A couple things we didn't realize in reading the description, there is a space that has bunks, there are no doors to that room, and you cannot use the garage, and there is not a pantry for food items. These were not a great deterent to us, but it is good to know them if you're looking at this place. Overall we were happy with this place.
