Aesthetically Beautiful, lots of activities
The property had enough space for our group of 12. The Party Shed was well used. The hot tub was a great size for the kids to have fun - deep enough for somersaults! The beds were comfortable. The workout room was used, the theatre room was great for "down time" - these 2 rooms were accessed through a bedroom. This house has mostly sliding barn doors (every interior door except for 1 bathroom) - so quietness and privacy was compromised. While it was great fun, there were maintenance items that needed to be addressed and cleaning concerns. Kyle was receptive to our concerns and we did work it out.

Great family time
We had a lovely time at the barn house with all of the amenities for the kids and adults too. Beds were comfortable, house was clean and loved the multiple areas people could choose to spend time. Sleeping was an issue since it was difficult to regulate heat upstairs and floors and interior doors were very noisy

Family Holiday
Our extended family booked this as our Holiday get away and we were not disappointed! The kids absolutely loved the amenities. With so much to do and so much space our large group had plenty of opportunities to float around the property playing games, hot tub, sauna, relaxing, eating, etc! We even used the outside sitting area with the unusually warm weather.Check in was a breeze as was checked out. Host has excellent communication and we couldn’t have asked for a better property for our holiday celebration. We’d love to come back but have already discussed trying a different luxury barn from the same company for our next family getaway.

Perfect spot for our small family wedding
This was a perfect spot for our small family wedding. Our entire group loved this place. We were a little concerned if the traffic noise would be a problem, but we didn't even notice it. There were so many entertainment amenities, no one was without something to do during our stay.

Perfect for All Ages
Our group of friends come from across the country each year for an annual friends trip so it’s a weekend we take very seriously when it comes to planning and choosing the right place. Big Sky Barnhouse was the perfect place for our friends’ weekend. The posting, pictures and details were super accurate and we had everyone from 2 year olds, teens and adults enjoying every part of the weekend here. Kyle was super responsive whenever I had a question and we could have stayed there a whole week with all there was to do. Thanks Kyle for being such a great host and for providing such a dynamic space for groups like ours!

Perfect for family getaway!
Our extended family, 8 adults, ages 37-69, and 7 grandkids, ages 2-12, had an absolutely wonderful time at "the barn"! There was something for everyone to enjoy! The grandkids were able to keep themselves entertained the whole weekend, and the adults had fun playing with them!! We do a family getaway weekend every February and the whole family agreed that this was the best place we've ever gone! It was a unanimous vote that we go back to the barn next year! Kyle is a fantastic host and quickly responded to questions we had during our visit. I highly recommended this experience for a unique getaway! There's no place like it!!!
