You may call, text, or email up to 48-hours in advance to request an early arrival, we will accommodate if the home’s rental calendar permits.
Check-Out time is 10 AM or earlier. We ask that you respect our crews by departing the home at 10 AM and no later, unless a late check-out was previously authorized by the Wilson Peak Properties team. You may request a late check-out 72-hours before departure, please do not call the morning of departure requesting a late check-out. We will accommodate if the home’s rental calendar permits.

This fully depends on what you are coming to the area for. In Winter, Big Sky Resort aka The American Alps draws winter lovers to town for an epic ski/snowboard experience. In Summer, Big Sky is the perfect home base for your Yellowstone National Park adventure. Of course, we are partial to all the seasons in Big Sky. For a nice and quiet retreat we highly recommend coming during the Spring or Fall “shoulder” season. This is the time of the year where we see minimal tourism activity in our mountain town.

If you have booked directly through our website, you will receive an email from us 17-days before the balance due date. If you do not need to change the payment method, we will automatically run your card for the remaining balance on the due date. If you booked through a 3rd party platform, that booking platform will send you reminder emails to make your final payment. Please ensure you follow their prompts to make your final payment as they will not automatically run your card.
Within your email confirmation there will be a rental agreement for you to electronically fill out and sign. Once we have received your rental agreement, you will be emailed your driving directions and entry codes 14-days before your arrival date. If you do not sign the rental agreement, the driving directions and entry information will not be sent out. We will touch base with you about a week before arrival to see if we can assist with any questions before your arrival.
You may cancel your reservation for a full refund 14+ days from your scheduled arrival date. If you booked directly through our website, you will be issued a full refund less the 5% credit card processing fee.
