Moonlight Mountain Home 5 Derringer

Experience mountain living at its finest in this Big Sky home situated atop Cowboy Heaven on the Moonlight side of Lone Mountain. Big Sky Resort ski access doesn’t get better than this with America's Biggest Skiing right off your back deck! This home was recently renovated and has new furniture, paint and art, throughout.

This exceptional chalet-style home is stylish and sophisticated with a high-end alpine feel. Connect with nature as you embrace breathtaking views of the Spanish Peaks from the living area warmed by a wood-burning fire and the sun beaming through the large windows. While there are many tempting dining out options, you’ll be happy to hang out in this kitchen and share meals at home. A great space to gather, reconnect, and make Big Sky memories.

Moonlight Mountain Homes set the benchmark for Big Sky outdoor living. The large wrap around deck allows for year-round entertainment with outdoor seating perfectly placed to maximize the views, a large BBQ grille, and a hot tub for rest, relaxation, and fun aprés ski!

Boasting 1,700 sq ft of living space, 5 Derringer comfortably sleeps 8 in a stunning en-suite master bedroom with a patio and cozy fireplace, a queen bedroom, and a bonus loft space with a private bathroom. An ideal fit for larger families, groups, or 3 vacationing couples, this high-altitude hideaway has all the comforts of home.

Perched on the sunny slopes in Cowboy Heaven, Moonlight Mountain Homes have direct ski access to the Moonlight and Madison Base areas and are a lift ride away from endless Big Sky outdoor activities. Your luxurious mountain home is beautifully secluded yet only a ten-minute drive to Big Sky’s hub Mountain Village, and a 45-minute scenic drive to the geological wonders of West Yellowstone.

SKI ACCESS
Ski Access is king at the Moonlight Mountain Homes, with direct ski-in/ski-out access to Moonlight Basin and Big Sky Resort. Access lift start date varies, but typically early to mid-December. Access lifts may close before Big Sky Resort's closing day depending on snow conditions. No access until lifts open and after lifts close. Direct access to the Madison Base Area Ski School makes morning lessons a breeze.

Ski Out:
Step off the back deck of your Big Sky Montana rental cabin onto the Gambler ski access trail. Ski through the tunnel below you. Follow Gambler access out to Powder River Ski Run which will take you right to the Moonlight Lodge and the Ironhorse chair lift. (Green access)

Ski In:
From the top of Ironhorse or Six Shooter lifts, ski down Lazy Jack to the intersection of Cinnabar and Powder River. Stay straight on Powder River continuing through the ski tunnel. Take your first right and travel over the skier bridge. This is the Gambler Way access. Your home will be the second on the right.

We had a fabulous Big Sky Ski vacation and this property was amongst the highlights. Amazing views, all amenities were beyond expectations. Great communication with rental company, highly responsive and on point when needed. This property had everything your family will need. The beds were great, super clean, nothing but high praise. I would definitely recommend this property for your next ski vacation.

Great house with a view
Ski in/ski out with easy access to Iron horse lift. Beautiful house looking at the mountains. Hot tub was a plus. Location perfect for us but pretty remote and would require 4 WD in winter months.

Cozy cabin with a view
We enjoyed our time in moonlight basin. The cabin was perfect for drinks of the deck, games at the table, and coffee on the couch staring at the Spanish peaks. The cabin was comfortable and cozy. This was exactly what we were looking for and we would without a doubt stay again.

Hospitality Galore!
We loved this house on on 5 Derringer. We have been to Big Sky many times ..this was our favorite place to stay. It was up on the mountain so when it rained it snowed up there...we were delighted ...snow in August...we came from hot, muggy, Ga so we loved it. Holly and Megan and all the people at Big Sky Vacation Rentals were so attentive and hospitable. When you book with them, they personally call you, email you tons of information and stay in touch with you via text or email to make sure everything is good during your stay. Trust me, this group is on top of their business! I highly recommend Big Sky Vacation Rentals and we loved the house! They are very knowledgeable they manage a lot of properties in Big Sky so you cannot go wrong booking with them. 8-30-20 through 9-3-20
