Home w/private hot tub, views, 2 master suites, close to Big Sky Resort - Chief Joseph Lodge

The Chief Joseph Lodge is a spacious, 5,000 square feet home featuring 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This home is located in the heart of the Meadow, just off Lone Mountain Trail, in a quiet neighborhood. It will take your breath away with its amazing views!

This home is professionally decorated showcasing beautiful wooden finishes and true craftsmanship. Enjoy the stunning views from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area and cozy up by the gorgeous stone fireplace. The dining room has a large, 8 person table that's perfect for having a family dinner or gathering around for some board games. Next to the dining room is the kitchen that features a convenient island with a glass cooktop, a breakfast bar, stunning cabinetry and double ovens for the home chef. Also on the main level is the master bedroom with a king-sized bed, private access to the deck, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a large vanity.

The main level has access points to the the large wraparound deck from the main living area and one of the bedrooms. On the deck you will find a private hot tub, a gas grill, outdoor seating, and absolutely stunning views. Have a glass of wine and soak in the hot tub while you enjoy the incredible Big Sky sunsets!

The upper level is home to three of the bedrooms. The first bedroom has a king-sized bed and a private balcony along with an ensuite bathroom that has a double vanity, a jetted tub and a walk-in shower. The second bedrooms both have a queen-sized bed and more beautiful views.

On the lower level is a common area that doubles as a bedroom with three sets of twin bunk beds. The common area features a wood burning stove, a mini bar and a fun tv area with bean bag chairs! There is also another bathroom with a large vanity and a walk-in shower.

This beautiful home is located less than 2 miles from the heart of Big Sky Town Center and Meadow Village, which provides a wide variety of great restaurants, shops, bakery, movie-theater, liquor store, groceries and free concerts in the park during the summer months.

In the winter, Big Sky Resort offers “The Biggest Skiing in America” for experts, kids, and everyone in between with 5,800 skiable acres, 4,350 feet vertical drop, and average annual snowfall of 400+ inches. It's not just downhill that is superb, cross-country skiers are invited to the historic Lone Mountain Ranch, voted #1 Nordic Ski Resort in North America with over 85 kilometers of groomed trails through the wilderness. There are endless other winter activities including Yellowstone National Park, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing or a relaxing day at the spa.

In the summer, you are just minutes from exceptional fly fishing, river rafting, golfing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, ziplining and more. Plus, the West entrance of Yellowstone National Park is only about 45 minutes away while following the historic HWY 191 along the scenic Gallatin River. Don't miss the free concerts, farmer's markets, and weekly special events throughout the summer!

Amazing Location, Tons of Space, Needs Slight Update
Beautiful cabin that is very close to town and a quick 8-10 minute drive to the ski resort. Location can't be beat. Tons of space for a large group. Kitchen was stocked full of amenities. Jacuzzi was hot. Master jacuzzi tub was great (though bedroom below said it sounded like jet engine when on, lol). However, the beds/pillows were not at all comfortable and some of the railing was coming apart long the balcony. The surround sound stereo system also did not work as promised (and instructions were outdated/confusing). This place could use some updating for the price, but overall had a wonderful stay for our group of 8 adults on a ski trip.

Family Trip
We stayed here with our family including 4 kids, 4 parent and Grandma. The house fit our needs perfectly. Everything was clean and comfortable. Great location near town allows easy access to all that Big Sky, and the mountain village is just up the road. Everything was in good order. The only small constructive criticism i can offer is that we all wish there had been more/better patio furniture to enjoy the front porch.

Great location, incredible trip
This trip was absolutely amazing. There was 11 of us staying together and the house accommodated all of us perfectly with room for others! Communication with the property owner/management was very easy and they were very prompt on their responses. The views were great and the location of the house was perfect for us. Only 3 minutes away from town which had everything we needed. And 10 minutes from the mountain. The reason I didn’t give the stay 5 stars is because of the cleanliness of the house. I think management can do a way better job cleaning. The master bathroom shower has mold in it. All of the showers drained very slow so water would build up while you were showering. There was crumbs left behind on chairs and the floor/carpets from previous renters which grossed me out. The sheets did not smell clean and my bed blankets had crusty stains on it. The house was dusty. Management needs to do a better job supplying towels for renters. We had to do a load of laundry everyday so we can have clean towels to shower with and use for the hot tub. The hot tub only worked for 3 days and then didn’t work after that. Management needs to do a better job shoveling and plowing the snow. The deck and balconies all had snow covered. The driveway was covered in snow but we all had cars with 4 wheel drive so that was no problem. A couple of us slipped on the ice in front of the garage. Over all great trip but wanted to make it clear on the things that can be improved for the future of this property.

Great Home Great Location
We stayed for a recent ski trip and the home couldn’t have been better for our party of 9. Home was clean and had great amenities. It was close to Big Sky Resort/Base Camp, as well as local eateries, markets etc. we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Management team was also very communicative and reachable for any issues, although we didn’t have any during our stay.

Uncertain Value Proposition for Stay Montana
Thus was a great property and fit our needs well. That said, I don't know what Stay Montana does. There is some talk about concierge services??? We could not even get a return phone call. The little tablet happily displayed a welcome message and then would not get out of paper weight mode for the rest of the week. When we did interact with Stay Montana, all we got was policy constraints and inflexibility in response to our questions about services. Mind you, we were there to ski, and the house accommodates a ski week for a big group very well. The owner should not continue with Stay Montana. I won't return to a Stay Montana listing.
