About this property

Big Sky Vacation Rentals: PR Manitou 1

Gorgeous forest and mountain views in a private wooded setting make this luxurious Powder Ridge log cabin the perfect backdrop any time of year for all your Big Sky adventures. Located on a corner lot in the pines, and only a few minutes from the Mountain Village, enjoy ski-in/ski-out access to the biggest skiing in America with all the peaceful solitude and natural beauty of a mountain paradise. Wildlife watching opportunities abound! An ideal fit for multiple families, up to 5 vacationing couples, or a group getaway, this 3,500 sq. foot, 5 bedroom chalet offers plenty of well-appointed space to gather, or spread out, in style. A custom bunk room and lower level living space provide additional options for sleeping/living arrangements. We also manage the nearby Manitou 3 and Manitou 7 to accommodate larger parties. The cozy, cabin-in-the-woods exterior gives way inside to high-end amenities, elegant furnishings, and modern conveniences throughout. Construction details include hand-hewn logs, rustic architectural enhancements, stone accents, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, rock fireplace, and designer western interiors. Cap off your day with a starlit soak in the outdoor hot tub. Just a quick jaunt from Lone Mountain, and only 45 scenic miles from West Yellowstone, this retreat in the Rockies is your base camp to Montana-made memories and fun for everyone!

Please Note: There is neighborhood construction going on through summer 2025 near this home. Please contact our Vacation Planners for additional information and details.

Stay at Manitou

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. We do a big family ski trip every year & this was our first ski in ski out experience. This made getting to & from the mountain a breeze. Thanks for a great stay! The only thing that we would've suggested was maybe somewhere to put skis & boots.

Firefighter Ski Trip

The property was exactly what we needed. Easy access to the slopes and a comfortable log cabin atmosphere to enjoy our evenings. The property management company was extremely helpful in the planning of our trip, and very responsive to the minor issues we encountered. I would highly recommend renting any property from Big Sky Vacation Rentals management company.

Fantastic cabin, great service

We had a relatively large family group for this stay and the cabin was perfect for us. Location was great - very pretty and good proximity to places while still feeling remote. Layout and quality of the cabin was also great. I reached out to the office a few times (before, during and after the reservation) and always found them to be highly responsive and incredibly helpful. We would definitely choose to stay here again.

Fantastic location

We had a very nice stay. The property could not be more convenient. Ski-in/out from the doorstep, and only a 90 second drive to the resort drop-off area when we needed to lug the kids. Made our whole trip very easy. The property management team was very responsive too.

Beautiful home! Great ski in/out location!

The beds were comfy. The kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of firewood for the fireplace. The ski in/out location was optimal. The Rosebud Access Bridge was either dirt or ice which was less than ideal but that’s likely due to the fact that we were there in April not at the fault of the rental property. Overall excellent accommodations!

Perfect location!

This home has true ski in/ski out, walk outside, put your skis on, and GO! Home is beautiful, very clean, plenty of seating at table, wished for more seating around main fireplace. We loved it, and we would stay in this same house again. Plenty of firewood, we had fires every night! We can't say enough wonderful things about this home.

True ski in / out access

Excellent location and great access to the mountain. Spacious bedrooms with plenty of room for big groups. Pay attention to the infomration on parking: you MUST have 4wd and there really is only room for two cars. Sweetest thing: our five year old thought she lost her stuffed unicorn, Sparkles, but the cleaning crew found it and notified us after we left. We didn’t even know it was there!

Great Location at Premium Price for Holiday Period

The House, location, ski access and the mountain are first class. However, the management's outfit of the house for our stay (Paper towels, Bath Towels, soap, shampoo etc.) more appropriate for Motel Six than a rental above $35K per week. While not in and of itself impacting our stay we found management lacking, a few extra fire starters, a 99 Cent item, was beyond their concept of proper outfit. $100-200 devoted to quality is all it would have taken to leave a better impression. Find someone who understands Premium Properties.

Great ski logding for 5 days

Our families with 8 adults and many kids ranging from 11 to 16 found this home to be very comfortable for our ski vacation. The kitchen was well-equipped for us to make all meals each day, including using the grill. There was a lot of snow each day and the drive way was plowed a few times during our stay. The back deck was also cleared at least once. Beds ( except for the pull-out couch mattress) were all very comfortable. Bedrooms were pretty quiet even considering all of the people we had in the house. The kids and adults use many of the games that were in the family area. Ski-out access was great and easy (right from the back of the house). When going to Village from White Otter Lift, stay high on the left side of White Wing then FAST to the right and cut through the trees to get on Chet's Knob as high as you can so you have enough speed to get to Swift and Ramcharger lifts. Ski-in was not quite as easy bc Bozeman Trail and Rosebud access trails are pretty flat and require either a lot of entry speed or significant poling (even harder in powder). When skiing in from the left side of map(village), we recommend following the highlighted path on this map imgur.com/5fLT5vT

Beautiful House, Great Quiet Location

The house was perfect for our 2 families, a group of 9. There was plenty of room in the house to spread out - big living room area with TV, another living area downstairs with TV and game table, a large wrap around deck outside which we used morning and night (until the mosquitos ran us back inside). It is super clean, very comfortably decorated and the kitchen has everything you could ask for to make a few meals at home. The home's location conveniently allowed us to hike around the area on ski trails to enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as being close to several other trailheads for popular hikes. Highly recommend the Beehive Basin hike 6-7 miles roundtrip to an alpine lake and meadow at the top and also the Ousel Falls hike just a couple miles roundtrip. We really enjoyed the proximity of the house and Big Sky to all the area's attractions. We spent a day in Yellowstone Park, did the Lone Peak Expedition to the top of Lone Peak by chairlift, all terrain vehicle and tram where we could see for miles, rode horses, whitewater rafting and of course hiking. We loved the farmer's market which happens every Wednesday evening in Big Sky Town Center. Lots of great food and local artisans. We really enjoyed the Blue Moon Bakery for pizza our first night and Bugaboo's Cafe is the best for fresh, hearty breakfast! Our property manager came by on our first evening to welcome us and answer any questions we had and delivered a couple of packages we had sent right to our door. All in all, we all had a wonderful time in Big Sky and would definitely love to return and would also recommend this home to anyone!

Enjoyable

We really enjoyed our stay. A little frustrated that the hot tub stopped working only 2 days into our stay. The dishwasher was difficult to use. We had 15 in our group. The kids ages 16 and up had a difficult time with the sleeping arrangements as the sofa bed was really uncomfortable. We wished there were better beds for the kids. Overall a good vacation home.

We have been traveling for weeks and this by far has been one of our favorite spots! The house was immaculate & had everything we could possibly need at our fingertips. Great layout with lots of quiet space for everyone to spread out while virtually learning and working. Fun hikes on mountains and proximity to Yellowstone was perfect.

Great spot but could improve

The home was beautiful and the location was great! The check in process could improve, as our code did not work to enter the building and we had to call in. Our hot tub was locked so we could not use it the first night and had to wait for maintenance for a couple hours the next morning. Then once everyone arrived and we tried to use the pullout beds, we discovered they were covered in mouse droppings so some were forced to sleep on smaller loveseats. Other than that, we had a great time and enjoyed the fox who visited the property several times. The kitchen was well-equipped and there were plenty of towels for showers and hot tub use!
