Secluded Ski In/Out ᨒ Retreat|Hot Tub|Fireplaces|10 Min to Resort

Welcome to 8 Little Thunder! This gorgeous mountain home offers outstanding views of iconic Lone Peak from a private hot tub and sits on a large, wooded lot. Experienced skiers will enjoy the ski access. If you need a few lessons before enjoying the ski access, Big Sky Resort is a short drive away!

The main level features high, vaulted ceilings, wood beams, a massive slate gas fireplace, and an open-concept kitchen with dual ovens. There is also a dining area with additional seating at the kitchen island. The living area boasts a gorgeous bar with unobstructed views of Lone Peak, comfortable seating, an office nook, a gas fireplace, and expansive windows. The chef’s kitchen features a large island, wine fridge, and high-end stainless steel appliances. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet with laundry, an en-suite bath, and a gas fireplace.

Downstairs, you’ll enjoy a second entertaining space, wet bar, walk-out patio, three additional bedrooms, and two full baths. The enclosed breezeway to the garage is highlighted with a massive stone, wood-burning fireplace, slate flooring, rustic barn wood, and sporting good storage lockers. The perfect spot for before and after a day on the slopes! The above garage apartment is perfect for hosting guests and includes a private bath and great views of the Gallatin Range.

In the summertime, enjoy being minutes from Beehive Basin Trailhead. This is the perfect spot for hikers and mountain bikers! Don't miss out on seeing Yellowstone with sites like the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, Old Faithful, and so much more. When you pass through West Yellowstone on the way to Yellowstone's West Entrance, stop by Mountain Mama's for delicious fresh game breakfast burritos and gourmet coffee.

Additional Notes:
NO PETS, NO SMOKING

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE IS REQUIRED DURING WINTER MONTHS (Oct - May)

Premier Ski Access:
Weather Dependent, Big Sky Resort will operate during the 2024-2025 season:
Early season: Opening Day 11/27/24 - 12/13/24
Late season: 4/1/25 - Closing Day 4/27/25
Opening & Closing Days are subject to change based on conditions. Please check Big Sky Resort's site for lift operations for: Cascade, White Otter, and Little Thunder Lifts.

** Please be aware when making your reservation that lift access in November, early December, and April might not be available. Please check the Big Sky Resort website for the most up-to-date lift schedule.

When Starting Your Ski Day: Follow Little Thunder run down to the Cascade run and then through the ski tunnel that goes under the road. Then take the White Otter lift up and ski to the Big Sky Resort main base area. The easiest route is to make an immediate right onto the narrow traverse on the right side of White Wing, to reach the base area.

When Ending Your Ski Day: The easiest way back home is to look for the four trail signs. Follow the sign for the designated trail to take you to the base of the Cascade lift. You will follow the main flow of the trail, but make sure to take the sharp left over the White Otter Access Bridge, then go straight down the hill following the trail under the White Otter
lift. At the base of the White Otter lift, you will see the base of the Cascade lift. As you ski off Cascade make a hard right to the Little Thunder lift which will take you right back to 8 Little Thunder.

We highly recommend 4-wheel drive in the winter months (Oct-May). We don't believe it's a necessity for the summer months but do find it a good idea! Lucky for you, we offer all guests who book with us discounts for rentals in Bozeman!

Events of any size are not allowed when staying at this property under the homeowner association's rules.

This home does not have air conditioning.

Most homes in Big Sky don't, thanks to our typically mild summer temperatures. For a true Montana experience, we recommend our classic "Montana A/C": open the windows at night to let in the cool mountain air, then close them and draw the blinds first thing in the morning to keep the cool air inside throughout the remainder of the day.

We are a local property management company. So if there is anything you need before, during, or after your trip, please let us know!

Transportation to Big Sky from Bozeman Airport:
To experience all that Big Sky has to offer, it is helpful to have access to a vehicle during your stay. This allows you to travel seamlessly throughout the community from the Gallatin River to Lone Peak. While ride-sharing and taxi services are abundant in other communities, Big Sky remains a small town with limited options for transportation. We offer a 5% discount code to Explore Rentals for confirmed guests. They are located minutes away from the Bozeman Airport and provide 4-wheel drive vehicles with dedicated snow tires in the winter and all-season tires in the summer!

Big Sky is a fantastic place. Low key. Hugh mountain. But it’s a place for skiers. Of all levels. Not a night life place. Which we liked.

Outstanding property. Definitely a ski-out, but not so much a ski-in since the rope tow was not up and running. Beautiful views and location. The house has great amenities and great support from property management.

Great ski weekend
Great mountain property - we had 7 guys, all slept comfortably. The house is amazing, with excellent views and no close neighbors. Very fast access to the base of the resort. Google maps doesn't exactly land on the property, so a little patience when navigating that way. It gets you close, then you just have to read the house numbers (there aren't many houses in the area, so not a huge deal). Very easy communication with the landlords.

Great house for a fun trip!
We really enjoyed staying at this 8 Little Thunder. It was our first time in Big Sky and we would definitely choose to stay here again. It was perfect for our multi-family group.
