Amazing Ski Vacation

We had the best time staying here. There were two families with young kids and it was worth packing in. Beyond the ski and ski out, the kids had a great time playing in the snow and watching the snow cat drive by! Would absolutely recommend and we hope to stay here again.

GREAT STAY AT COWBOY CABIN!!

Overall a 10 vacation - The cabin was great...the ski in & out was great...the weather was great. My only complaint is about the cleaning solution that the maids use. It is very strong and messed with me for the first day or so. Other than that, everything was great. We had a great time!!!!!!

Cowboy Heaven cabins are pricey, but convenient

We've stayed in the Cowboy Heaven area to ski Big Sky three times and enjoy it very much. The prices have gone up substantially, but it is probably worth it for the privacy and convenience of being true ski-in/ski-out on mountain (just off Powder River and easy access to Iron Horse Quad). The hot tub is a nice amenity -- bring grippy slippers to avoid frozen feet! The kitchen and dishwasher make it easy to enjoy your own meals at a table for six. The two bunk beds seem a bit crammed in, but probably okay for four children who don't care about any privacy and don't need much space. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE is a must because the neighborhood roads are snowy, curvy and steep. Big Sky Rentals property management is both efficient and professional -- if perhaps a bit corporate and cold in their communication frequency and style. Washer dryer is great amenity for easy packing at the end of trip. Go to Roxy's for pretty upscale groceries in town and walk across the parking lot for good beer at Beehive Basin Brewery. Wine and liquor across the parking lot at The Cave Spirits & Gifts.

Great cabin in the mountains!

We had a great time staying here ~ the cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable! Staff was excellent in answering any questions and made checking in/out a breeze! We enjoyed stepping out of the cabin and using the hot tub in the evenings. Will definitely recommend to everyone!

Sweet cabin, fantastic location!

This little cabin is extremely well laid out, with plenty of room for the 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teens.) They supplied everything we could possibly need, the furniture is all super comfy, the hot tub felt fantastic after a day of skiing...all in all, this place is wonderful. The ski-in/ski out was great and easy to navigate. Highly recommend this cute cabin!

Perfect Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation at Rustic Ridge 7. Cabin was well equipped and perfect for our family of 4. Great location with ski/in and ski/out and perfect spot for two little boys getting out to play in the snow, sled and make snowmen. Wonderful memories. We hope to return.

Loved every minute!

Our family of 4 could not have had a better vacation. The cabin was cozy but enough room for 2 tweens and mom and dad. It was well stocked and the customer service was so pleasant. Lovely location and accessible by skis to lifts and lodge and dining. We'll be back!

Very nice property

Property was perfect for our needs. The hot tub may not be hot for your use the first night, but they make that well known in advance. The fireplace was not working, but they added space heaters to offset the fireplace. Ski in ski out was pretty easy. Enjoyable.

Cabin great; cleaning and support not so good

The cabin was very charming and cute. It is inaccessible without a car rental and the night we came in the roads were not plowed and it was difficult to get to the cabin and to the door with our luggage. It is a ski-in, ski-out cabin but has no place for skis, no snow shovel, etc. Those things were okay, but the bathrooms both had orange gunk growing on the shower curtain and plastic about a foot up. There were cobwebs dancing on the ceiling and dusting on floorboards had not been done for a very very long time. The coffee maker was broken, there were no coffee filters (or coffee). The property management book stated they had sent us a list of what would be there; they had not. I think this is a very good property, but not well managed. I would not be writing this had I received a helpful response when I asked about snow shovel, coffeemaker, etc. The owners should know that the care is not up to par for the price.

Great location, tired cabin

This was our second stay at Rustic Ridge 7, the previous visit being 8 years ago. Love the location and the setting. However, the beds were terrible. The unit is tired and in serious need of an update. Especially given the price point. Very disappointing to come back after a long day on the mountain and have a rough night of sleep on a mattress not worthy of an old motel.

Cute and cozy cabin with amazing views

This was just what we were looking for! From the views to the decor to the supplies (laundry, cookware, grill, hot tub etc!) we had everything we needed. I was so surprised how big the cabin was on the inside, as looking from the outside it can be deceiving. This is also my second time booking at cowboy heaven cabins, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in big sky!

Great location - we will be back next ski season! This is a ski-out location that we were able to ski into everyday we were there (if the parking area isn’t snow covered you would have to walk across about 50’ of pavement and past one other cabin). Nice place - everything was great!
