Ski-in/Ski-out w/private hot tub in Moonlight Basin - Cowboy Heaven - Powder River Chalet

With only three Cowboy Heaven Mountain Homes located ON the Powder River Ski Run, this home is the PERFECT Moonlight Basin location for prime skiing in Big Sky! Just step outside your door and put your skis on to ski to the Iron Horse or Pony Express lift. It is unbeatable!!! If the perfect ski-in/ski-out location is what you are looking for, do not look any further!

Enjoy the privacy of a luxury Cowboy Heaven Mountain Home and the best ski-in/ski-out in all of Big Sky from this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom 'Powder River Chalet'. If you stay in this home, you will never want to stay anywhere else in Big Sky. This home sleeps 10 comfortably with many upgrades and breathtaking views of the Spanish Peaks and the Big Sky/Moonlight ski slopes. Come and enjoy the feel of seclusion as the trees engulf the home to provide the ultimate ski destination and privacy, with the best ski-in/ski-out access possible.

We're excited to unveil the stunning renovations that make this property a true Big Sky gem! The brand-new kitchen is a highlight, featuring modern appliances, sleek countertops, and a stylish backsplash that creates a warm, inviting space. Upstairs, the loft has been transformed into a full bedroom, complete with a TV, desk, and a full bathroom. The primary bathroom received a luxurious overhaul—including a spa-like soaking tub and an enclosed standing shower. Each room has been thoughtfully enhanced, making this home one of a kind in Big Sky!

The living area boasts a custom stone, wood-burning fireplace with a built-in flat screen TV, as well as a custom built desk perfect for a laptop! The tall windows that overlook the treetops are a sight to see! Relax on the back deck or enjoy the large 8-person hot tub!

There are 4 bedrooms, all with private bathrooms and heated floors. The coveted primary suite is on the lower level with a king bed, a gas fireplace, breathtaking views, and an ensuite with a jaw-dropping soaking tub with a separate shower. Bedrooms 2 & 3 are also on the lower level. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and bedroom 3 has a double over a queen log bunk bed. Bedroom 4 is on the upper level of the home that sleeps four and has two twin beds and two trundle beds. All of the bedrooms have TV's with Satellite.

Powder River Chalet also has a Weber Gas grill and an 8-person private outdoor hot tub on the large deck with plenty of seating. The large laundry room is perfect for doing laundry or just quickly drying ski equipment, although, with Big Sky's champagne powder, that is rarely necessary. You can ski in and have plenty of space in the 'ski equipment' racks in the heated one-car garage for all of your ski equipment. There are also lots of hooks to hang ski coats and gear. Enjoy the access door directly off of the slopes!

Nice ski vacation place, great location, high quality
This home was a fantastic base for our ski vacation at Big Sky. Comfortable accommodations, and we appreciated the heated garage for our gear and to get the ice/snow off our vehicle. The ski-in route is pretty easy, but in most conditions you have to arrive from the top of the Iron Horse or Six Shooter lift. Ski-out is very easy to the bottom of Iron Horse, which allows you to get to most of the resort. We had an issue with our bathroom light, and they tried to fix it, though we were without that bathroom for a couple days because it was pitch dark. Management was apologetic. Hot tub was super nice, and the home overall was very easy to use. Our kids loved the little fort/cubby space up in the loft area (not featured in the listing)! Thanks!

Big Sky 50th anniversary celebration
Our family truly enjoyed every minute of our vacation in the Powder River Chalet. The home had amazing views of the mountains. We traveled to Yellowstone and Glacier National Park and relaxed at our home base. The home was well maintained, stocked with essentials and very comfortable. We will come back again in the future.

Thanksgiving
The house is exceptionally clean, comfortable and well appointed. The great room had an excellent view, comfortable seating and a beautiful wood burning fireplace that worked well with lots of firewood in the nearby garage. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and was very clean. The grill was clean and worked well despite the handle falling off. When we arrived after dark the lights were on and the house was warm. There was even a basket of snacks, coffee and a bottle of wine. We all enjoyed amazing sledding on the cross trails only a few hundred yards away. All TVs and the internet worked well. The only thing missing is a foosball, hockey or pool table to entertain the kids. It is very easy to give this rental five stars and we hope to return.

Wonderful President's Week Stay
The Mountain Home is as advertised and in a wonderfully proximate location to Iron Horse. We had two families leveraging ski in/ ski out for the entire Presidents week and easily got the kids to Madison Base lessons each morning. Highly recommended.

Excellent Location - Spring Skiing at its Best
Powder River Chalet was fantastic!! We had 2 families (4 adults, 5 teens) stay at this house. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved being able to ski out/in to the house for lunch everyday. The kitchen is perfect to cook meals and has everything you need. We used a grocery delivery service so it was easy to unpack and start enjoying the views. Moonlight Lodge is a short drive around the corner but in the summer an easy walk down the back hill. Thank you for the arrival email with all of the pertinent information we would need while staying there. We can't wait to come back to Big Sky next year.

Great Home for Skiing Vacation
Located just above Moonlight Basin lodge, this home is a great Ski in/out location at the end of the street. Well appointed through out the bed/bath layout is well done. Kitchen is setup very well, great views, good hot tub, ample space in all bedrooms and loft. Wood fireplace was rather nice and the oversized single garage holds a large SUV easily. Would highly recommend this to friends and we will return at some point. Note: If you miss the 4pm lift closure at Moonlight Basin....enjoy your uphill snow hike with skis about 80' (altitude) to get to the home. It's a good workout.
