Spanish Peaks (near Big Sky Resort)
A sleek, modern mountain retreat in the Spanish Peaks enclave, Montage pairs timber-and-stone lodge drama with a polished, five-star sensibility. Come for the ski access and sprawling spa, then linger over destination dining and firelit après moments with big-sky views.
Moonlight Basin / Madison Base Area

Lone Mountain Ranch area (north of Town Center)
A storied, working-ranch-style stay that leans into Montana romance—log cabins, crackling stoves, and wide-open meadow views of Lone Peak. The on-site Horn & Cantle is a destination in its own right, and the property’s activities (especially in winter) make it feel like a curated mountain...
Big Sky Mountain Village
Big Sky Resort’s flagship slopeside choice blends classic alpine styling with an unbeatable base-area address—ideal for first chair and easy breaks back to your room. Rooms and suites feel intentionally hotel-like, with the village’s dining, lifts, and gear shops right outside.
Big Sky Mountain Village
In the heart of the pedestrian Mountain Village, Village Center makes Big Sky feel like a compact alpine town: walk to lifts, coffee, après, and dinner without touching a car. The accommodation mix—studios through larger residences—works especially well for families and longer stays.
Big Sky Mountain Village
Shoshone offers the sweet spot between hotel service and condo practicality, with kitchens and living spaces that make multi-day ski trips easier. It’s connected into the resort’s base-area ecosystem, so you’re never far from a lift line, a soak, or a casual bite.
Big Sky Mountain Village
A long-standing Big Sky classic that keeps things simple—in the best way—by putting you steps from the action at a friendlier price point. After a big day on Lone Peak, the scene shifts to relaxed, family-friendly comfort and well-earned time in the hot tub.
Big Sky Town Center
Right in Town Center, The Wilson channels contemporary Montana style with the practicality of suites and in-room kitchens—perfect for travelers who like to mix ski days with walkable dining. It’s the rare Big Sky stay where cafés, boutiques, and bars are a short stroll away.
Big Sky Town Center
Gravity Haus brings an energetic, outdoorsy clubhouse vibe to Big Sky’s Town Center—think communal spaces, a social bar, and wellness-forward recovery amenities. It’s a strong pick for hikers, bikers, and skiers who want a modern base close to the town’s best dining.
