Perfect get away for Baseball Week

The house was very clean and neat. It was situated on a beautiful country property. There were hummingbirds feeding while sitting on the deck. Horseshoes, fire-pit, even a creek for exploring. The hosts were more than helpful. The house was perfect. Highly recommend for a country get away for Dreams Park or just in general.

Very Beautiful and Very Roomy

If you’re looking for a place for the family to stay and not be cramped up look no further than Big Sky. You will not be disappointed in fact you will be very impressed. The house is all upstairs and very roomy, 3 very comfortable bedrooms with a nice living room and kitchen. But the best feature is the large deck that you can sit outside in the morning or evening and enjoy the view.

Great house between all star village and dreams park

While my son live his 12 year old, baseball player dream we booked Big Sky! Such a beautiful location. The house is clean with up to date appliances. You can tell the owner takes pride. On our drives back and forth we counted as many as 25 deer on a one way trip.. also love the covered porch and having coffee with the hummingbirds. Book early before you miss your chance!!

Would highly Recommend

Kathy & Pat were fantastic hosts!! I would highly recommend staying and will hope to stay again when my youngest plays at Cooperstown. The home is very clean, spacious, quiet and relaxing. The owners were very responsive to any needs. I only hope that we can spend more time at the property on our next visit.

Zero Stars

Very run down property in middle of nowhere. No proper locks, dirty, inconveniently located and NO lake anywhere in sight. Owner lives in trailer a few lots down and was showering in garage when I arrived. I immediately felt unsafe and creeped out and left the property. Be prepared to have no cell service once you leave the door. I had to find a hotel to stay in because it was such a nightmare of a place. One wall AC unit inbedroom for entire home.Currently in duspute for a complete refund as this VRBO was not suitable for a stay!
