Condo much farther from ski village than advertised with lots of kitchen supplies lacking or very dirty. Location about 1/2 mile not .2 of a mile. Gas fireplace difficult- was hoping for wood-burning fireplace as some of the units had them. There were 5 regular spoons which was ridiculous for a condo with a kitchen with 3 bedrooms! Some of dining table chairs were falling apart.

Great location and comfortable condo. Will definitely return to big sky and stay in the same area.

Location was great. Not a dollar has been put back into unit since it was probably built in the early 1990’s. Completely furnished with the cheapest of the cheap. If you want a smorgasbord of things from a garage sale this would be it. Chipped and cracked coffee mugs, pillows with no fill left, a toaster that was from the 80’s that only toasts toast on 1 side and I’m not talking about the left or right you literally have to flip it halfway to get toast. Electronics dated, however did have the basic DIRECTV package and a boombox to use along with Wi-Fi. More furniture then needed in such a small space.

This condo worked really well for our family of five to spend a week skiing at Big Sky.
It is a 5 minute walk to the base without gear, and around 8 minutes with gear. The upstairs rooms work great for the 3-4 kids, with the parents downstairs. There is a storage closet for skis. The fireplace warms up the living room nicely.
The kitchen worked for us, but don't expect much. One burner didn't work, and the two large pots were all scraped up. There were maybe five spoons total. The dinner table chairs were wobbly and felt like they might collapse. The fireplace thermostat had no effect.
The support from Stay Montana was great. They did replace a lightbulb and bring two new pots and remove the damaged ones. They walked us through starting the fireplace manually, since the thermostat didn't work.

This property has reasonable space, comfy beds and is warm. Its a 5 min walk to the ski lifts, so quit handy. But it really needs an update. The fire place doesnt work, the TV didnt work (and is a way too complicated set up anyway, which could easily and inexpensively be replaced). In adequate cutlery, some old pans that have been cremated, no baking trays etc... made cooking a little challenging. All manageable, but it could be so much better with a little effort.

Fantastic location. Maybe end of season but could use a deep clean.

Overall we had a very good stay at Stillwater. The unit was clean and as described. The only negative thing was that we were there during an exceptionally cold week and it was quite cold in the unit. The slider leaks air and the fireplace didn't work and though we asked for service on that, the company never sent anyone to look at it, so we were dependent on the electric heat. Also, the hot water heater only holds enough hot water for about 2-3 showers, so if you have a large party, which this unit can hold, you need to plan and space out showers in order to have hot water for everyone. But other than that, we really had a great stay. We were there to ski, after all. The unit is located in the base area of the Resort, so it is a short walk to the base area lifts, shops and restaurants.

Good location close to the base
All was great about this property and the only reason I gave it a good is that the cookware is really old. I suggest you either bring your own skillets or the owner should invest less than $100 to buy some new. Other than that I highly recommend this property

Condo was nice, location was great, but the stairs were nothing short of ridiculous. Spiral staircase about 16" wide is just stupid. Should be re-engineered, there are simple solutions to this problem.

The condo was good for the most part. The spiral stairs to second level would have been difficult for older tenants. Never got tvs to work. Cooking utensils were minimum. Uphill walk to lift was made easier since one could leave skis with ski valet for nominal fee at days end. Beds were very comfortable. Ample room for 5 adults to be comfortable at days end and for a leisurely breakfast. We would definitely stay there again. Directions to condo came in a timely manner and were easy to follow. Code to enter the condo however did not arrive as promised and it was necessary to email/call for info.
