KEY Curation Notes

Private hot tub, working wood-burning fireplace, and a fire pit on the balcony — Water Moose delivers the full Montana trifecta. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the main living room, and the outdoor spaces are genuinely set up for evening use.
Wolf range and Subzero refrigerator in a kitchen with an island, full dining table for eight, and bar seating for three. This is a house that can actually accommodate a group cooking together, not just reheating takeout.
Three stories with two separate living areas gives a group of 11 room to spread out. The upper level has its own lounge with TV and sofa, plus a dedicated desk and a home gym — uncommon at this size.
Big Sky Town Center is minutes away; Big Sky Resort is six miles up the road. This is a Town Center-adjacent location, not a Mountain Village property — keep that in mind if ski-in/ski-out or walking distance to the lifts is the priority.
Central air conditioning is a genuine differentiator for summer visits. Most Big Sky homes don't have it.
Starter supplies are minimal by design. Travel-sized toiletries and a basic kitchen kit are included. Stock up before you settle in — KEY.co's grocery delivery covers Big Sky and can have essentials waiting at check-in.
