Big Sky Lodge II

The say was good. The property needs work, floors were damaged and other areas need work. Need to provide more sheets and blankets (our blanket had a hole in it. Most complaints came from the lack of internet access for all of the WIFI users. We really liked the area and can see us visiting again but maybe a different property.

your online pics make the place look bigger than it really is. It might sleep a lot of people but no room for sitting

This rental is beyond its prime. It was big, and it technically fit the bill for our needs (family vacation with 24 people), however I would not rent again. There were almost too many service issue to list: bad/inconsistent light switches that cracked and hissed when used, and sometimes didn\'t work at all, ripped carpet on the stairs with nails sticking out, broken hot tub (cold tub), a non-operational dishwasher, and broken box springs in some of the bedrooms. Our bedroom box spring had been \"repaired\" with 10 screws, and broken again with wood sticking out into our back as we lay down. Additionally, the carpet in the bedrooms looked gross, and I didn\'t want to touch it with bare feet. The kitchen had wear and tear, but what takes actually staying there to notice is how small it is to walk around and try to cook in. The space between the counters and island, fridge, oven, and stove is too small. Although in pictures, it appears large, in practice it is cumbersome and awkward for even two people to try to prepare a meal. Since we had 24 people staying in the house, it was unmanageable. If someone stands at any of the appliances, no one else can get through to access any other part of the kitchen. The main sink (a shallow triple sink) was ridiculously restricted by the wrong faucet which couldn\'t reach to wash dishes in the two outer bowls. The secondary sink which seems practical to have in a large kitchen, was not accessible when someone was using the main sink, as two people could not fit in the narrow passageway between the island (where the secondary sink was located) and the main sink. The kids never noticed any of the issues and loved the arcade and movie theater. The house is in beautiful surroundings, and it was nice and peaceful to sit on the back porches. However, I had imagined leaving the house for quiet walks in the woods, and this wasn\'t possible. The house is located on a large parking lot that leads to all of the other matching houses, and the parking lot leads out to a steep, twisty road which would not be safe for pedestrians. So that was disappointing. My favorite story of the trip was when a service rep from the rental company arrived the second day to address the broken dishwasher and hot tub. He assured us that a new dishwasher was going to be installed the next day, and that they would be \"flying someone in\" to take care of the hot tub. While impressive and seemingly responsive, when we called two days later to report that neither had happened, we learned that both service tickets were closed and assigned as fixed.
