Beautiful Golf & Ski Chalet~Heated Pool & Hot Tub!

Description from the owner

Stay together and forget about booking expensive, impersonal hotel rooms with no kitchen or fireplace! This lovely, sunny, completely remodeled and professionally decorated (in a mountain theme), corner, ground-level getaway is located in the fabulous ski resort town of Big Sky, just outside Yellowstone National Park. The Park entrance is approximately 15 minutes from Big Sky, and West Yellowstone is about 30 minutes from there. Old Faithful and the geyser area are approximately 15-30 minutes from that point, depending on traffic. (Big Sky is mid-way between Bozeman and West Yellowstone ~ a breathtaking 45 minute drive to each.) Bozeman is... the closest major airport and it has several rental car agencies.

The property is nestled in the heart of a quiet and serene golf course community within the upscale, residential neighborhood known as Meadow Village. Many of the locals' favorite hot-spots at the Big Sky Town Center ~ cafes, restaurants (LotusPadBigSky.com), shopping, groceries (HungryMoose.com), movie theatre, etc. ~ are an easy stroll away. The Meadow Village is commonly regarded as being considerably more desirable than the remote, inconvenient, expensive, crowded, and noisy Mountain Village at Big Sky Resort where conventions are regularly held at one of its large hotels during the winter. And during the spring, summer, and fall the Mountain Village is practically a "ghost town" since it has very little going on then. (Hence the cheaper rental rates in the Mountain Village.) Also, since the lower elevation of the Meadow Village has about 60% less snowpack than the Mountain Village, it offers a milder climate with earlier springs, later falls, and a longer summer season, resulting in more year-round recreational opportunities!! (Please note that this is NOT one of the Firelight Meadow condos, which are located in the busy, commercial district of Meadow Village, not on the quiet golf course.)

Cozy and charming, this property sports a vaulted and beamed ceiling, fully-equipped kitchen (including dishwasher, disposal, microwave, blender, mixer, pancake griddle, coffee maker, coffee grinder, dishes, utensils, cooking spices, etc.), stone fireplace (with COMPLIMENTARY firewood), and redwood deck with furniture, barbeque, and outdoor fireplace. Both the master bedroom (with door lock) and second bedroom (loft) have a queen-size bed, and the chalet-style living room has a comfortable, queen-size sleeper sofa. There is also a new, deluxe "Pack 'n Play" full-size bassinet/playard/changing station (Graco "Kira" model) available for baby. All three main rooms have SATELLITE television (2 of 3 TV's are flat screen.) Every window has at least one drape or shade so that each room has complete privacy. Abundant linens and towels are provided. This property also offers a pretty, lush, green yard that is dotted with fragrant pine trees, only steps away from the indoor swim center (large/heated pool, hot tub, sauna, locker rooms with additional bathrooms), heated laundry room, 18-hole Arnold Palmer designed championship golf course, and parking area. A swimming pool is a must in the summer (especially for the kids) and a hot tub is a must in the winter (great for apres ski.) No other property within the complex is situated closer to the swim center and laundry room!

This winter playground opens Thanksgiving weekend and stays open through April 24th. Big Sky's award-winning ski school will get beginners on the slopes (6 miles/less than 10 minutes away) quickly. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers will all enjoy incredible skiing on majestic Lone Mountain. It boasts 3,812 acres of lift-accessed ski-able terrain with over 150 named ski runs covering 85 miles, and an awesome 4,350 foot vertical drop (nation's second largest.) Neighboring Moonlight Basin, on the north face of Lone Mountain, is the first new destination ski resort to open in more than twenty years! It features Montana's only high-speed, six passenger chair lift and serves a growing trail network of 76 runs on 1,900 acres of terrain. Both ski resorts are the best-kept secret of the Rockies since they have perfect powder and virtually no lift lines!! Big Sky and Moonlight now offer the Lone Peak Pass, allowing visitors to ski freely between the two resorts (with 5,512 acres of in-bounds ski-able terrain) for the "Biggest Skiing in America".

Rental fees

Additional notes from owner

Weekly rates are based on 7 days/6 nights. {Simply prorate fewer or additional nights.} Please note that, as posted, there is a 2 NIGHT MINIMUM or a 25% SURCHARGE shall apply. Check-in can commence on any day of the week, if available, and we do not charge extra for weekends. Check-in is 4:00 P.M. and check-out is 11:00 A.M. Mountain Time. Deduct 50% for reservations of 30 nights or more any time except for "Winter".*

Holiday Premiums: Please add $25 to EACH night if a reservation includes the night of a national holiday. Please add $35 to EACH night if a reservation includes the night of MLK Day, President's Day, Easter, Labor Day, or Thanksgiving. Please add $50 to EACH night if a reservation includes the night of July 4, Christmas, or New Year's {$75 if both Christmas and New Year's.}

We accept Intuit {only payment option in "Summer" or if a holiday is included}, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express, and debit cards through PayPal ~ the SAFEST, EASIEST way to charge your trip and NO PayPal account is needed. We never see your credit card information AND we pay all fees on posted rates!!

PLEASE NOTE: Our "best" rates are those posted and are FIRM. However, a 15% DISCOUNT is offered for "last minute" reservations made within 7 days of the arrival date for parties of 4 persons or less. {Discount not available during "Winter" or in conjunction with any other offer, and guest must pay with Intuit.}

Montana has NO SALES TAX; however, we are required by law to charge a 3% local resort tax and a 7% state lodging tax to all reservations. {Establishments that do not charge BOTH of these taxes are NOT LICENSED or REGULATED.}

50% deposit due to confirm reservation. Balance due 30 days {60 days for "Summer" & "Winter" reservations} prior to arrival date. REFUNDABLE damage deposit {25% of base rental amount or $250, whichever is greater} due with balance. This is standard policy of all PayPal merchants since we do not have our guests' credit card information for collateral, as stated above. Signed rental agreement required at time of deposit.

Cancellation Policy: If reservation is canceled 30 days {60 days for "Summer" & "Winter" reservations} or more prior to arrival date, deposit will be immediately refunded in full. If reservation is canceled 15-30 days {30-60 days for "Summer" & "Winter" reservations} prior to arrival date, deposit subject to forfeit. If reservation is canceled less than 15 days {30 days for "Summer" & "Winter" reservations} of arrival date, full reservation amount {excluding taxes, cleaning fee, and damage deposit} subject to forfeit. We found it necessary to implement this cancellation policy due to the fact that most people plan their Yellowstone and ski vacations months in advance. Therefore, when a guest cancels close to their arrival date, it leaves us in a very challenging position to secure a "last minute" replacement guest. We encourage all of our guests to simply purchase trip insurance from a separate entity {i.e., CSA @ TravelSecure.com or 800-348-9505 ~ #1 rated by Consumer Reports} if there is a chance they may need to cancel outside the stated time frames.

{CAUTION: Be careful to only rent from a licensed/regulated property owner/manager. Some are actually charging their guests taxes while not licensed by the State of Montana. Therefore, they are not submitting the tax monies (7%) collected to the state and are "pocketing" them instead. This, of course, is a crime. It is also a crime not to charge taxes there. Always ask the owner/manager for their Montana license number and their Big Sky resort tax (3%) account number, or call Jeff in the Dept. of Revenue at (406) 444-5421 to make sure they are legitimately doing business. This is for your own protection. Our Montana license number is 4007564-002-LFT and our Big Sky resort tax account number is 7089.}

  Clean condo in a great location at Big Sky

  Left on 01/04/2013 for a stay in December 2012
  
  

  This place provided us with a clean and cozy home away from home for our ski vacation to Big Sky. From making the reservation to checking out, everything went smoothly. The owner communicated with us, answering all questions promptly. The unit is an end unit, and the hot tub/pool building is very close to this unit, just a short 10 second walk, which was nice with temps in the teens. The condo is well equiped with bedding, full kitchen with coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, electric griddle and oven/stove (as well as dishes, pots, utensils, etc.) All you need to bring is food, clothes, and skis. The beds were adequate, and the sofa bed in the living room was, well, its a sofa bed. The free firewood is really a nice added bonus. The unit is located very close to restaruants, a movie theater, and shops, and is only about a 10 minute drive to the Big Sky ski area. It is located in a quiet subdivision, no noise!!
