We had a great stay here. We loved the movie theatre and the hot tub. There were so many beautiful bedrooms to accommodate our large family. The best part about your house: it’s right next to the ski slope! It’s truly ski-in/ski-out! The views are spectacular. Thank you for a memorable weekend! Mark and Helen

What a beautiful home and area. My husband and I had a fantastic time. We drove out to the Grand Tetons one of the days. Everything about your home, and Montana in general, is just simply breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your home! Hopefully we will be back soon! Amee and Matt

This is our second time staying in this beautiful home. Another great stay! We saw a momma and baby moose many times. What a spectacular experience! We will always remember sitting on the deck and taking in the mountains. That memory was priceless. It was my birthday while here, and it will always be remembered. Your house was beautiful. It was so nice to have a place where all nine of us could stay. We will definitely be back to visit again! Jane and Joe

We’re loving the views, comfort and amenities. Thank you for opening up your house to us. Seeing momma and baby moose in the yard on multiple mornings and evenings was delightful. I love the Yellowstone room---views, beds, and pictures are all great. The mountain and valley views reminded me of what an awesome Creator we have. Seeing the Rockie Mountains in summer brings a totally different perspective of their magnitude. That image will remain in my mind for a long time. This is truly one of the most beautiful places in our world! John and Christine

Once again, your home was even better than advertised on the internet. We stayed at your Whistler home (in Taluswood) in 2006 and loved that house too. This house was perfect for our family reunion. The house is gorgeous and comfortable. We love your neighbors (Mother moose, her baby moose, and many deer). We love the views and the opportunity to reunite in such a beautiful place. We highly recommend “Jake’s” for horseback riding. Thank you for the memoies! Sherily and Michael

Fantastic house! Never thought you could top your house in Whistler! Three siblings, their families and one generous grandfather came together to celebrate being a family in stunningly beautiful Montana. Best memories: Movies in the theatre, hot tubbing, seeing the mama moose and her baby on our evening walk, and horseback riding. Everyone enjoyed having their own bathrooms as well. Howard, Duane, Michael, Paul and their families

I have had an absolute blast all week! The house is beautiful. The views are so breathtaking, and the mama moose and baby moose in the backyard were spectacular to watch. Yellowstone was incredible. The shopping was fun, and the white water rafting was the experience of a lifetime. Your beautiful house made these memories possible! Thank you! Kassie

Our week at Big Sky was wonderful. We had great snow. Nice powder! Some lovely sun and not too cold. All kinds of terrain for all skiers. The house was enjoyed by all. Plenty of room. The steam shower and hot tub were appreciated after a great day of skiing. Our children had a great experience at the Big Sky snow school. We had excellent instructions. The kids all learned and improved over the week. Everyone wants to come back next year! The Hank Family

Our group of twelve from Baltimore, MD and Denver, CO really loved the house and all the amenities! Probably the nicest we have stayed in over the years. Weather was pretty cold and windy at the end of the week which caused some lifts to shut down. We made full use of the media room and the large dining room table for playing cards! Thanks for your prompt responses to our requests! Also, thanks for having someone come by and shovel the snow! Roberts

We had a blast! We survived -20 degree weather but got some awesome powder out of it! The advanced skiers loved the glades and coming down form the peak. The novice skiers were excited to actually be able to ski in and out of the house! Friends from around the country gather every year for a ski trip in January. We have to say Big Sky and Moonlight Basin are the best resorts we’ve been to, and this house has been just fabulous. We also loved your Whistler house. Can’t wait to stay in more of you beautiful properties! The Mit family and friends -

Our family really enjoyed our week in Montana at the beautiful Big Sky Resort and loved the home! We had 6 great ski days and the snow was awesome! Getting up the mountain proved interesting-one car was pulled up by a front loader and other quests were delivered personally by the friendly sheriff! All in all, a great week with family in a beautiful setting. What a way to start 2008! The Chroma Family

Christmas in Big Sky! We received over a foot of snow during our stay! The only things that beat the incredible skiing were the unbelievable accommodations! Our family of sixteen couldn’t get enough of the movie room, sauna and steam rooms. Thank you for the great holiday memories! The Starks

Great snow and great weather! We enjoyed daily snowfalls and temperatures in the 30’s. Perfect skiing for our first Montana visit. The boys enjoyed the theatre, and the ski-in/ ski-out spoiled us all! The home is so welcoming and serene after a long day skiing. The sauna, hot tub and a gourmet meal in a wonderful kitchen---Your house is unbeatable. Kathi, Ryan and Cory

Our first time in Montana, and it was fantastic! Snow was great at both Big Sky and Moonlight Basin, and the house is amazing. We especially loved the movie theatre and the hot tub. (There is nothing better after a cold day of skiing). The robes were a great touch and were used early and often. The views are incredible, and we had a great time! The Wheelers and Whalens
