Enjoy breathtaking Big Sky views and year-round outdoor living from the comfort of this cozy log cabin tucked in the woods. An ideal Big Sky home base for guests seeking comfort, convenience, and ample space for the whole crew, as well as your four-legged friends!

Boasting 3,000 sq ft of generous living space combining rustic elegance with modern amenities, no detail has been overlooked. Cooking for a crowd is easy in the well-equipped kitchen, meals around the table include Lone Peakviews and they’ll be many nights spent around the toasty wood fireplace, after a rejuvenating sauna! A lower-level games room adds fun to the living space and is a great hang out spot for the teens.

The bedrooms are spacious, comfy, and well laid out giving everyone their own space, but it’s the outdoor living you’ll love. Surrounded by snow-covered peaks in the winter and meadows of wildflowers in spring, it’s all about the views. Take it all in from the porch swing; go for a starlit soak in the hot tub, or just kick back and catch up around the fire pit. You may even catch a glimpse of a friendly fox or resident moose, or perhaps the occasional bear at the mountain stream.

Cardinal Sanctuary is a haven in the pines yet in close proximity to the Big Sky Montana Resort's Mountain Village and Base Area, the perfect starting point, any time of year, for all your Big Sky adventures. Big Sky boasts 5,850 skiable acres of uncrowded slopes and thrilling outdoor summer activities and wilderness adventures. A true year-round Montana mountain resort.

    This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The owners had thought of everything. We were comfortable and happy with all the facilities. The managers were responsive and let us know who and when maintenance would be there. This was the absolute best VRBO type of stay we have had. I would recommend this home to anyone

    Our family was due for some much needed time away from the daily hustle of the suburb life. This home gave us everything we needed all in one place! We enjoyed the hot tub every day along with the beautiful landscape of Lone Mountain! Perfect place to reflect and gain some clarity. Nature is healing!

    Cardinal Sanctuary was a great spot for our group sky vacation. The house was well appointed for cooking meals in if you want, but also very close to restaurants. We enjoyed the amenities including hot tub, sauna, game room and popcorn maker :) Management was very easy to communicate with and helpful with any questions.

    Great stay at Cardinal Sanctuary!! House was perfect for our size group of friends. Check in was seamless, place was clean and ready, pre shipped goods were waiting for us, and all of the amenities made for a fun time at the house. Stunning views of the mountain (and our lines down Gullies!!) from the porch and hot tub. Sunsets over lone peak took our breath away. And while not true “ski-in/ski-out”, easy path up the street (1 min walk) to get to the White Otter lift (5 min walk) made for a perfect location without the extra cost of staying slopeside. Can ski 75% of the path back.
