Big sky is such a great place and this was a great place to stay. Wish I didn’t have to leave!

Beautiful place, well stocked, wonderful stay. Only complaint would be that it is not exactly a ski in ski out. To get to the slopes you have to walk up the street about 75 yards, then you can snap on your skis and ski down to the lift. At the end of the day you have to take off your skis, walk up a hill about 30 yards, then you can put your skis back on and ski down the street to the door. Pretty convenient, but not really ski in ski out.

We had an amazing time here! So much fun to blaze your own trail down to the lift every morning!
Hot tub was a welcome reprieve after a long day of skiing! Had every thing we needed for making meals and having cocktails! Only issue we had was running out of hot water after a few showers which we rectified by spacing them out.
Everything else was amazing including the views every morning and evening! Thanks again!

Had an amazing time at this location. It is true ski in ski out with some of the best views of the mountains. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrise each morning and relaxed every night in the hot tub. There is plenty of space in this 3 bedroom unit for 8 people and would definitely go back again.

This condo was truly a great experience. It was extremely cozy and comforting to come home to after all of our day activities. I especially enjoyed the hot tub that had a beyond spectacular view. We were lucky enough to see the snow falling while we were soaking. This cabin is a really great place and I completely recommend it!

Winter Wonderland Bliss in Big Sky
Perfection. That sums up our stay at this property. It was immaculately clean, centrally located so that we could access Big Sky Resort easily while still enjoying the feeling of being a little bit off the beaten path so that we could soak up the beauty and nature of the mountain, and the decor/set-up of the house was as charming as it was functional! We truly hope to stay here again!

Awesome ski lodging right on the mountain
Place was clean & modern, and all the amenities were great. Loved that we could literally ski out the back door, and the hot tub overlooking the slopes was perfect after a long day of skiing. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Big Sky!

In addition to being a convenient and comfortable property, we loved the amenities at Moonlight Lodge. Sara and Justin at Member Services are A++ and made our stay more friendly and comfortable than we could have imagined.

A very nice property, close to Moonlight Lodge where skiing in and out was easy.
Stayed there for Christmas with our three adult children. Plenty of space and very well appointed. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The close proximity to Moonlight Lodge was great. We used the guest membership for Apre ski and for meeting up with our group for lunch right off the slopes. Would recommend and stay again.

Saddle Ridge F5
Saddle Ridge F5 is the place to stay for comfort and for location. We loved being right on the slope and just two buildings away from Moonlight Lodge. The private hot tub with the view of the mountain was a big hit with our whole family. It was fun to relax in the steam and soak our tired muscles while watching the last skiers of the day.
We were pleased that the kitchen was so well provisioned with cookware and spices. It was nice to be able to comfortably prepare some of our meals at home rather than eat out for every meal. The furnishings of this home were so cozy and comfortable that we enjoyed staying in as much as going out!

Luxury view from a mountain top in Montana
We spent a week in F5 the end of June, 2018. The unit was as nice as advertised, very clean and well maintained. The view from the deck was spectacular with the moon seemingly close enough to touch. The hot tub was a big hit after exploring all there is to do around Moonlight Basin and Big Sky. Our family of 6 was very comfortable in the accommodations and appreciated the well equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. The beds were very comfortable. While we had done our main shopping in Bozeman we found the local grocery to be well stocked for those items we had forgotten. Favorites for our family were the two trips to Yellowstone and the Zip Line excursion across the Gallatin River. We are looking forward to trying the hiking trails in the summer and the ski slopes in the winter when the children are a bit older. Randy and Louise Thomas

Great vacation home
Loved the property and the amenities from Moonlight. Would definitely recommend Moonlight and Big Sky as a wonderful summer vacation.

Great!!!
Awesome rental especially if you are doing things in the Big Sky area. If you are using this as a "base camp" for Yellowstone please be aware that the "50 minutes from Yellowstone" while technically accurate is slightly misleading. With minimal traffic driving slightly above the speed limit you are easily 1:15 from the Yellowstone entrance. the 50 Min refers to the sliver of Yellowstone that you pass through while driving to the main entrance. It is still absolutely worth staying here as a base camp, just plan on a little extra travel time. The communication from the property manager was top notch throughout the rental process and we had no issues with the unit. We had 3 adults and 3 kids ranging from 6 - 10 and this place was perfect for everyone. The local trails were full of wildlife and the kids had a blast ending each day in the association pool. A+

Incredible rental at Big Sky
I highly recommend this Saddle Ridge condo for a vacation stay at Big Sky. The condo is very well appointed, and has everything you need for your stay. The attention to details is very apparent. We rented the condo as four adults and four young kids, and it was the perfect situation... walking distance to the lifts and very convenient. The mgmt even went above and beyond with some niceties. There was a bottle of wine, chocolate and coffee waiting for us upon arrival. Management was responsive to questions and very accessible if needed. We've stayed at a lot of places in Big Sky. We will absolutely be staying at this condo again. We have found our go to rental!
