Big Sky Vacation Rentals: Homestead 5 Claim Jumper

The beauty of Big Sky is captured perfectly from this exquisite ski-in/ski-out alpine retreat! Panoramic mountain views, easy ski access, high-end amenities throughout, and loads of space for the whole group makes this chalet the ultimate vacation rental for your Big Sky adventures.

Homestead Chalets are Big Sky Resort’s newest luxury rentals and this 3,500 sq ft home offers plenty of elegant space to accommodate large groups. The great room features local interior design touches of contemporary décor with a splash of alpine that still gives the feel of a true ski cabin. Focused around the large wood-burning fireplace and expansive floor to ceiling windows framing nature, many memories and home-cooked meals will be made in this inviting space. This chalet caters for everyone with four king en-suite bedrooms, a bunk room with its own TV and a leather sleeper in the bonus room.

There’s plenty of spaces to entertain, from starlit nights in the hot tub and shuffleboard in the games room, to warm evening BBQs on the patio and smores around the firepit. All under Montana’s big skies!

Big Sky’s newest ski-in/ski-out neighborhood lies nestled at the base of Lone Mountain just minutes from Big Sky’s Mountain Village. Incredible ski access, Big Sky’s finest amenities, and endless outdoor activities on your doorstep, yet only a day trip away from the geological wonders of Yellowstone National Park. Plus, this neighborhood offers some of the best early & late season ski access in all of Big Sky!

The lift typically closes mid-April, prior to resort closing. The property is not ski-in/out until the White Otter Lift opens. Please inquire for details.

Ski Out:
Walk up from the home a short distance before putting on skis. Ski around the corner onto the groomed access trail behind the cabin and cross over the White Otter Access Bridge. Follow this trail along the White Otter chair lift all the way down to lift's loading point. Try to maintain some speed, as there are a few sections of flat that may require poling or skating. (Green access)

Ski In:
From the top of Swift Current, ski Jay Walk to Lower Morning Star. Once on Lower Morningstar, ski past the first set of Powder Ridge signs and take a left at the SECOND set of Powder Ridge signs. Follow the signs towards the White Otter access.

Beautiful home home for our family gathering. There were 14 of us. Plenty of space for everyone, the hot tub was glorious after a day of skiing. Great location and ample parking. Superbly managed as well, we had everything we needed, prompt communication and clearly explained directions/ house communication.

Great family ski trip
Great location with plenty of amenities. There was more than enough room for our three families and the grandparents. It was a small walk to ski-out but we found a shortcut on the last day and it was easy skiing back in. When we weren’t skiing, we were playing games by the fire place, shuffleboard downstairs or in the hot tub. Great place. We would stay here again.

We’ll be back
Nine friends stayed for the second week in January. The house is well suited for a large group. The ski-in aspect comes with a caveat that you must figure out how to get back. It took us a few days to figure it out. We will likely plan to return next season.

Great property and location
We enjoyed our stay at Claim Jumper 5. We had trouble with appliances, overhead kitchen fans, overhead circulating fans, accessing the ski in/out directions. We made property management aware of these problems and they were never corrected during our stay. An infant crawling on the floor shouldn't get very dirty or find things that shouldn't go into their mouth. In all we enjoyed our stay, but for the price paid we expected to not have any property issues and that the issues the issues would have been fixed during the stay.

Family Thanksgiving
We picked this property because it had 5 bedrooms (4 having king beds) and 6 full bathrooms! It was perfect for the 11 of us, plenty of room for all. The kitchen was big and open to the family room with beautiful views from every window. We cooked our 24lb turkey and all the trimmings with no problem. The house was very clean and we loved all the personal touches from property management. Everyone is looking forward to doing it again next year!

Big sky summer fun w friends
The property exceeded our expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. So well appointed. From the kitchen to the fuzzy robes in the closet. Plus all the technology capabilities w the Sonos system and great WiFi. We absolutely loved the home and would stay again. In addition, they were accommodating w allowing us to stay longer on check out day since we had an important work board meeting call that went until 11. So they had the maids work around my friend so she could finish her work before checking out. Only negative was that the kitchen wasn’t as clean as it should have been given the current pandemic situation. We had to clean and sanitize more when we arrived. However despite the lack of cleanliness upon arrival, the staff was attentive and responded back quickly when we had questions or needed help with the Wii system. Gorgeous. Loved this home. Can’t wait to go back.

Great place! We're thinking of booking again...
One of the better "VRBO's" we have found. We were really pleased that 4 of the 5 bedrooms were essentially private master suites. The open common space for all of us to gather was very nice, as was the large deck with a fire pit. The family room was a bonus.

Beautiful and amazing home
This home was perfect for my family for our stay in Big Sky. There were 10 of us and more than ample room for us. The bedrooms were all amazing with king beds and bathrooms. The basement was perfect as well. The boot dryer was a great addition to this home. We had no problems with anything except the controls locking up on the hot tub. Big Sky Vacation Rental personnel were there immediately to fix the problem. Another perk was having our pre-ordered lift tickets picked up for us so we didn't have to stand in line to obtain them. I would highly recommend this property. This is the most amazing home we've ever stayed in. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

My sons wedding 8/12/17
We had a great stay! It was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space and the shuffle board was GREAT to have a family tournament! The house was clean and ready to go. There is a lot of construction going on right now Monday - Saturday, we were told that going into our stay. It was really not too bothersome as we were out most of the day anyway, but they did get start quite early, if your plan is to sleep in:) The only issue was the ceiling fan in the Master BDRM would not work, and the fans supplied in that particular room did not work either. But over all I would absolutely stay here again. We had a wonderful time and NO surprises!

The accommodations were excellent and the reception by the Big Sky team a very nice touch. Although the area is under construction, when it is all complete it will be an excellent view as well! We loved our time there and would highly recommend!
