About this property

Homestead 12 | Ski Access, Retreat, Sleeps 17

  • Set at the base of Lone Mountain in Big Sky’s sought-after Homestead Chalets neighborhood, Chalet 12 Claim Jumper puts you close to the action with seasonal ski access via the White Otter Lift. This contemporary six-bedroom home offers 3,200 square feet of modern living across three levels, with room for up to 17 guests to spread out and settle in. The great room is framed by floor-to-ceiling views and warmed by a contemporary wood-burning fireplace, while the spacious kitchen and dining area make gathering with family and friends a breeze. Step outside for summer BBQs, incredible mountain views, and a soak in your private hot tub under the stars.

    There aren’t many vacation rentals in Big Sky that comfortably sleep 17, and Chalet 12 does it with room to spare. Four bedrooms, two large bunk rooms, and sleek, modern bathrooms make settling in after a day of adventure a treat. The well-appointed kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, and the open living and dining spaces make it easy for everyone to come together. Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a trip with a big group of friends, this contemporary chalet has the space and comfort to make your stay special. Homestead 12 Claim Jumper is part of our Platinum Collection.

    Big Sky’s Homestead Chalets neighborhood offers incredible mountain access, some of the best early- and late-season skiing in the area, and easy access to Mountain Village. From days on the slopes to summer adventures in the mountains, there’s plenty to explore in every season. And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, the geological wonders of Yellowstone National Park make for an unforgettable day trip. Please note that ski-in/ski-out access depends on the seasonal opening of the White Otter Lift, anticipated for mid-December depending on snow conditions. The lift typically closes in mid-April, before the resort’s closing date. Until the lift opens, the home is not ski-in/ski-out. Access is via the White Otter Access Bridge and the trail leading to the chairlift below the home, reached from the trail next to Claim Jumper 16. Please inquire for details.
