    10/10!!! We rented Kyle’s property for a girls trip and the group couldn’t stop raving about how incredible the house was. The house was spotless upon arrival and was stocked with everything we needed! The views were incredible from every window - truly a mountainous paradise - and Kyle was so accommodating and easy to communicate with, even offering an early checkin for our group flying in from out of state. The property itself is also positioned well between Bozeman and Big Sky, perfect for groups looking for a mix of city life and hiking with close proximity to the airport. Thank you for an amazing trip!!

    Kyle was very responsive with my messages.Location is great to Bozeman and Yellowstone west entrance. We stayed here for a week and can’t believe how fast our time went. We are a pickleball family and loved the opportunity to play some short game and practice our soft game while we had some down time.This house is beautiful and the room set up worked out great for our family. The large kitchen made it easy for us to move around as we prepared meals.The decor in this house makes it feel very warm and cozy. And those views so breathtaking!We definitely would recommend this property and area

    Amazing house with everything you would need to have an enjoyable stay! Great location; far enough away to experience the Montana landscape, but close enough to get to Bozeman or Big Sky! The set up was perfect; lots to do. We played pickleball, cornhole, fuzeball, and enjoyed the jacuzzi every night. Would highly recommend this house for an amazing Montana experience!!!!

    This house was perfectly located for us between Bozeman and West Yellowstone. We had lots of excursions around the area and thoroughly enjoyed this location. It’s close to town but far enough a way to see lots of stars and enjoy the mountains!

    This property was perfect for our family of 7. We did not even use the upstairs area. We thought the room sizes were generous and comfortable including the beds. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had every imaginable utensil to make cooking pleasant. We will come back in the future and the host was easy to communicate with when needed. I would highly recommend this house for a family vacation. Oh and the pickleball court in the garage was totally awesome. We had family wars of pickleball followed up with dinner, campfire and hot tub nights.

    We LOVED our stay at Big Elk Haus!! The home was beautiful, clean, and had plenty of room for our family of 13. Lots of seating in each area of the home, as well as lots of beds. Everything we needed for our stay was included, such as dinnerware, cookware, towels, body wash, dishwasher soap, etc. The deck was AMAZING! Wraparound with a hot tub, table and chairs, loveseat swing, and additional chairs with side table. And THE VIEW! It was lovely sitting on the deck and watching the sunset over the mountains. We loved the indoor pickleball court, ping pong, and foosball. It was also nice that there were a few baby items available, such as a baby gate and portable crib. The owner was extremely quick in communicating, which we appreciated. He answered all of our questions and gave us suggestions as to places to go while we were there. He was very friendly, courteous, and welcoming. Overall, it was a wonderful trip!
