Welcome to 16 Washakie! This beautiful Mountain Home is located directly across from Big Sky Resort! A 3 minute drive or a 20 minute walk, it is the perfect headquarters for your summer and winter adventures in Big Sky; the resort offers numerous activities in both seasons. Enjoy unbelievable views of both Lone Peak and Andesite from any room in the house which offers an open concept, living room, dining room and kitchen all with vaulted ceilings, a wood burning fireplace and large TV. The home is furnished in a cozy mountain style.
Lone Mountain Ranch is a 10-minute drive away and West Yellowstone/Yellowstone National Park is just over an hour drive along the Gallatin River.There is an attached two car garage. The driveway can accommodate another two cars. At the end of a long day enjoy the views of Lone Peak from your private patio or relax in any of the two comfortable living areas. The family room downstairs offers the same magnificent mountain views, a gas fireplace, pull out queen sofa and large TV.
In the Winter, this central location provides prime access to a multitude of Big Sky's winter activities! If you are looking to downhill ski, it is .3 miles to the nearest lift or a 3 minute drive to the resort parking area where you may take a shuttle direct to the resort, home of the "Biggest Skiing in America!" If cross-country skiing is more your cup of tea, it's only a 10-minute drive to Lone Mountain Ranch to enjoy over 80 miles of world-class Nordic trails.
In the summer, enjoy a quick trip down to Town Center events such as the Big Sky Farmers Market and Music in the Mountains Concert Series, along with Big Sky's premier event the PBR Rodeo. For those looking to explore the local trails, the trailhead for Beehive Basin trail is about a 3 mile drive from the home or enjoy the Lower Beehive Basin trailhead located within walking distance from the home. These trails are perfect for hiking!

Additional Notes
We are a local property management company. So if there is anything you need before, during, or after your trip, please let us know!
Summer guests are encouraged to take part in good ole' Montana A/C which is opening windows at night, and closing them up during the day. Closing them during the day will help keep cool air inside, and we ask that you do so if you are not present at the home as well.
Transportation to Big Sky from Bozeman Airport
In order 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!
Ski Access:
When Starting Your Ski Day:
In order to get to the resort trails you will need to take the White Otter lift. To ski down to the lift from the home go as far right as you can and make your way down to the intersection of Lone Mountain Trail (main Road) and Washakie/White Otter rd. If you can make it west along Lone mountain trail there will be a groomed trail through a ski tunnel that goes under Lone Mountain Trail and leads to the White otter lift. You can also cross Lone Mountain Trail, go down White Otter Road (directly across from Washaki) and make your way west alongside or below the White Otter Road to the lift. Take the White Otter lift up and then 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 follow the signs for the Cascade lift. Take that lift up to the top, then take the Little Thunder 2 Ski Lift, located at the top of Cascade lift. From there head down Plenty Coup run, and take a left when the run starts to curve right towards the lift. Make your way through the trees and to Washakie Road.
We suggest going to: https://vicomap.resorts-interactive.com/map/1692 where you can see an interactive map that details what lifts are open at different times.
