Reviews
ML Moonshadow Lodge
The house was beautiful and well appointed. The setting waThere was construction two doors over but it wasn't that troublesome. We happen to be there during the hottest days for Montana and while there wasn't air conditioning, the house had a fan in every closet! It worked out great!- Stacy K , Posted:

This house and all that Big Sky offers was perfect for our birthday getaway. The property management group was great from a communication standpoint the entire visit. The house could not have been better. The location, the kitchen, the outdoor area, and especially the lookout room at the top of the house were as good as it gets. My wife and I spent hours in the lookout room enjoying the view, the breeze and relaxing. I highly recommend this area and property to anyone. Mike- Mike c , Posted:

We loved this house and location. The top floor is a observation lookout that we watched the sunrise several mornings. We even saw a fox walk right by our house! Great kitchen with usable pots, pans, and dishes. Actual ski in/ski out. Wonderful vacation home- daniel s , Posted:

The house was better than the photos suggested. It had a great kitchen and wonderful views which we took advantage of every night by dining out on the terrace. The kids enjoyed the hot tub. We had groceries pre-delivered which was a huge plus given that we all drove hours to get to there. Would be great if the owners added a basketball hoop as the driveways is very spacious and the perfect spot for playing. Overall, we loved this house.- Kelley M , Posted:
Superb!
This home is so well laid out for livability. I think our family of 10 used and enjoyed every space. All rooms are very comfortable. Especially enjoyed the upstairs observation room, ski room and kitchen. Had everything we needed. One thing to consider is that the ski in/ski out access is not necessarily for beginners. We were able to make it work though.- Anonymous U , Posted:
